General FAQ

The most important question is what is better, more comfortable or safer for you personally. We can tell you that studies have shown that 70% of women who use cups or reusable pads and menstrual panties experience less cramping during their periods.

In addition, the use of the menstrual cup has no adverse effects on the vaginal flora, as shown here in a summary of the results of 43 studies and 3319 participants.

When using our cups, pads and underwear, no chemicals enter the body through sweat or directly into the vagina. Keep in mind that tampons absorb natural secretions and can lead to dryness and infection. This is one reason to use reusable products that are safer for your body month after month and for years to come.

Cups are ideal for women with heavy menstruation, but can also be used by virgins. For added protection, you can use a washable pad or menstrual underwear.

All of these products are good to use if you are concerned about the waste that intimate products create, but also if you are concerned about having fewer chemicals absorbed by your body.

Cups, reusable pads and period underwear are cheaper than monthly products because you can use them for at least 2 years after you buy them.

35 years x 12 periods x 5 days average = 2100 days of period/ 5 years and 8 months of continuous period days – Crazy right?

4 period underwear/ day x 2100 days= 8400 period underwear

0.6 EUR/ pad x 8400 period underwear = 5040 EUR / IN A LIFETIME

FEMI.EKO® ’S PERIOD UNDERWEAR

In 35 YEARS you should change the period of Femi.eko sustainable products by about 7 times.

Let’s say you buy 6 period products during this time.

7 x 6 = 42 period underwear in a lifetime

25 EUR x 42 period underwear = 1050 EUR/ IN A LIFETIME

Cups prevent menstrual blood from coming into contact with the air so that bacteria do not form and thus odor does not develop.

Pads and menstrual underwear are made of safe materials that keep odors out, even though blood will always have a certain odor. We would say that odors are normal and okay, and encourage you to accept your body as it is – with its conditions.

Very importantly, our products should not be perfumed and you should not spray your intimate products or genital parts because perfume is not safe for the intimate area.
