An Australian woman spends somewhere between $2000 and $6500* on menstrual products in a lifetime. That means each cup (based on a ten year cup lifespan) is saving you between $600 and $1625. That’s a trip to Europe, your first car, a full whitegoods set up for your home, or enough menstrual cups to keep over 100 disadvantaged women in school or work for the approximately five years of their lives they would normally miss due to lack of hygiene products**.
*Amount dependant on starting age of menstruation, brand of products used, pregnancies, frequency of menstrual cycle, heaviness of flow and onset age of menopause.
