Many consumers have turned to sustainable menstrual cups as a way to reduce the use of disposable tampons, pads, and panty liners—which are, by definition, wasteful—as well as to save some money while they are at it. Dot Cup is a sustainable menstrual cup option offered through eco-conscious marketplace Good Intent. The design of this product is patent-pending and FDA-approved, so individuals can rest assured it is also safe to use. The company uses medical-grade silicone and guarantees that its offering is free of latex, plastic, PVC, acrylic, acrylate, BPA, phthalate, elastomer, and polyethylene.
According to the company's estimation, the Dot Cup sustainable menstrual cup can be worn for up to 12 hours (a limit of 28mL of fluid) and used for up to 10 years! With each purchase, the company also includes a limited-edition, hand-sewn, canvas storage pouch designed by @ashleymaryart.
