When Olympic swimmer Freya Anderson spoke about competing during her period, she shed light on a reality faced by countless women: the anxiety of leaks, the discomfort of traditional products during sport, and the stigma of speaking openly about something so natural. Her openness mirrors a wider cultural shift the growing movement to normalise conversations about menstruation and to seek solutions that genuinely support women.
For too long, periods dictated how women lived. Plans were changed, training sessions adjusted, and even holidays postponed. While sanitary pads and tampons have long been the most common options, they often came with limitations:
* Frequent changes disrupting daily routines
* Discomfort during sports, swimming, or long journeys
* Environmental waste, with millions of disposables ending up in landfills each year
It is time for change.
The Menstrual Cup Revolution
One of the most significant advancements in menstrual care has been the menstrual cup. Small in size but transformative in impact, it is made from 100% medical-grade silicone and offers up to 12 hours of reliable protection.
Its benefits go far beyond convenience:
* Freedom for athletes – swim, run, or train without fear of leaks
* Freedom in daily life – no constant interruptions or product changes
* Freedom for the planet – one cup can last for years, reducing waste dramatically
Much like Freya Anderson’s call for open dialogue, the menstrual cup represents a cultural shift. It is more than a productt is about empowerment, sustainability, and normalising the conversation around periods.
Where Trust Begins: The Importance of Manufacturing
Behind every menstrual product is an unseen story: how it is made. Women place their trust in something deeply personal, and that trust begins with quality manufacturing.
The most successful menstrual products are:
Safe – created with certified, medical-grade materials
Reliable – engineered with precision to prevent leaks and discomfort
Compliant – rigorously tested against international standards
Sustainable – designed and packaged with eco-conscious practices
Manufacturing is not merely a technical process—it is the foundation of brand credibility.
