Lunette

Heli Kurjanen tried her first reusable menstrual cup as an alternative to pads and tampons (she had grown tired of bleeding into these conventional period products). To her disappointment, she realised her period cup had big flaws. It didn’t work for her, and she was unhappy with the design. She complained to her husband about the cup, and he teasingly advised her to improve on the faulty design. As she was fascinated by how freeing and flexible it was for women to use period cups, she took his advice and created Lunette. The Lunette Menstrual Cup is an excellent evolution of the first menstrual cup she used in 2004.

A Greener and Healthier Way To Menstruate

The Lunette Cup is a certified safe and non toxic menstrual cup that’s loved by many girls and women in Australia and around the world. Made with the highest quality medical grade silicone, it's not only safe but also soft and flexible. The period cup is easy to insert and remove, and the design works with the body to keep it in place. Menstrual cups collect rather than absorb fluids (unlike tampons), so you stay naturally lubricated and comfortable.

With the Lunette Disinfecting Cup Wipes and Menstrual Cup Cleanser, using and maintaining the Lunette Cup is made a lot easier, too. We've used these ourselves, so we know that you'll stay comfortable and confident while helping save the environment from heaps of waste.

An Award Winning Finnish Brand

Lunette is the perfect example of a company doing its part to make the world more sustainable. This makes them a deserving recipient of the German Sustainability Award 2020, honoring the Lunette Menstrual Cup with the Sustainable Design award.

This is a great accomplishment for the brand, securing its position as a reputable leader in sustainable menstrual care solutions. Their love and commitment to ecological and social responsibility (helping improve women's lives worldwide) make them a deserving winner.

What Makes Lunette Period Products Eco Friendly and Sustainable?

Lunette is a vegan, cruelty free, and non GMO (registered with the Vegan Society) brand. This means they don't test their products on animals and don't use animal derived ingredients in their vegan items.

The medical grade silicone used in Lunette Cups is verified by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). They're the first reusable menstrual cups to be legally sold in Australia. These certifications further guarantee that the products are safe and made without harsh chemicals. These regulatory bodies also help ensure that the design/physical requirements of menstrual cups are met, in addition to chemical safety.

Lunette's commitment to quality period care products has also earned them the Key Flag Emblem. This is an esteemed certification granted to products that meet the highest standards of design and craftsmanship in Finland.

Sustainable Packaging

Lunette’s 100% compostable packaging is just as eco friendly as its products. The boxes' plastic looking windows are even made of wood pulp, so they're biodegradable. You can feel good about using Lunette products in plastic free, zero waste, and recyclable packaging, knowing you're not contributing to the growing problem of plastic pollution.

Creating The Biggest Impact For A Better World

Since its inception, Lunette has been working hard to break the taboo around periods and menstrual cups. They’ve achieved this in various ways, including printing and distributing more than 150,000 education booklets worldwide and delivering 500 education packs yearly to healthcare professionals. They've also donated more than 30,000 Lunette Cups through different organisations. But their biggest impact has been helping people switch from single use period products to reusable menstrual cups, saving over a billion disposable period products from landfills and oceans annually.

Sustainable Ingredients and Materials

Made from high quality, medical grade silicone

Lunette cups are a healthier alternative to conventional tampons because they're made from the highest quality, medical grade silicone. This means they won't leave any fibres in the vagina, which can cause irritation and other health problems. They're also free from phthalates, bisphenol A (BPA), and heavy metals. Like everything we stock at Hello Charlie you can rest easy knowing that we've done the research, so you're buying safe products when you shop with us.

Made from sustainable ingredients

Lunette Disinfecting Cup Wipes are made of biodegradable viscose, which is non toxic and safe for the environment. They contain water and alcohol denatured, which work together to disinfect the silicone menstrual cup and remove any residue. The wipes are also fragrance free and irritant free, so they won't cause any irritation or skin sensitivity.

The Lunette Menstrual Cup Cleanser is free from synthetic fragrances, so it won't leave any unpleasant smells behind. This wash off cleanser also contains lemon and eucalyptus oils, which help to purify and cleanse your soft menstrual cup. The lemon oil helps to break down any build up on the cup, while the eucalyptus oil aids in killing any bacteria that may be present.

Lunette Menstrual Cup

When it comes to our bodies and menstrual flow, we only want what's best for us. So worrying about leaks or wearing bulky pads during our monthly period just won't cut it. The Lunette Cup is the best way to have a stress free period. It's a healthy and eco friendly solution to safe and reliable period protection.

With its superior shape, you can be sure that the Lunette cup stays securely in place, keeping things leak free and super convenient for busy women on the go. It catches your flow without absorbing it, which helps protect you from dryness, irritation, or odours typically associated with pad and tampon use. 

It's easy to use, too. Thanks to its comfortable rim and ridged bottom, inserting and removing the cup is smooth and easy. You can use the clear cup for up to 8-12 hours before draining it, so you don't have to worry about frequent changes throughout the day. The large holes and the flat stem will help make emptying and cleaning hassle free, too. Just drain your cup in the loo, disinfect it, and reinsert it.

It's a better alternative to other period products, as it helps make menstruation a more positive experience for women and young girls. And because it's made from durable silicone, Lunette will last for years (up to 10 years, in fact!). Think of the money you'll save and the landfill you won't fill up by using Lunette’s reusable cup. Not only is it better for you and the planet, but it also saves you from buying disposable pads or tampons every month.

How To Choose The Right Lunette Cup Size For You

No matter what your flow is like, Lunette has a period cup that'll fit your needs. They offer two different sizes, each with its unique design, so you can choose the one that best suits your needs.

The Lunette Cup Model 1 has a narrower rim, making it ideal for women with light to normal flow. The Lunette Cup Model 2 has a wider rim and deeper receptacle, which makes it perfect for women with a medium to heavy flow.

How To Insert Lunette Cup

Before using your Lunette Cup, wash your hands and clean the cup using the Lunette Cup Cleanser or disinfecting cup wipes. To insert the Lunette period cup, fold it to make it flat, then fold it in half again to form a C shape. Find a comfortable position - sitting, squatting, or standing with one leg raised (it's up to you!) - and relax your muscles, so you can insert the rim of the cup into your vagina. If you’re tense, it'll be harder to insert the cup.

When you're ready to remove the cup, break the suction seal by pinching the base of the cup and then pull it out gently. Once the cup is out, empty it. Make sure to clean and sanitise the cup before reinserting it.
