The Keeper Menstrual Cup, The Moon Cup and The Diva Cup Fan Letters
Moon Cup Success on the First Try
“My new Moon Cup is great! It felt so good not throwing anything away. Plus, my Moon Cup was much more comfortable than tampons are, especially at the end of my cycle. I'm telling all my friends!
” - Abby H. Washington D.C.
The Keeper Menstrual Cup and Hurricane Wilma
“Natural disasters are not the reason people buy your products, but I was very happy to own one last October! I've lived in Cancun, Mexico and enjoyed Mother Nature's paradise as well as her wrath over the past 18 years. We were left without water (potable or otherwise), electricity, and garbage collection for days after Hurricane Wilma sat over us for hours. I started my menstrual cycle before the wall of the eye hit and was forced to evacuate my home soon after. I felt so lucky to use the menstrual cup! It was one less thing to have to worry about. Thank you for your fabulous products. I'll never use anything else!!!
” - Barbara H-R Cancun, Mexico
Diva Cup, Where Have You Been All My Life!?
“I have to tell you how much I love my Diva cup! I've used it for 3 days now and I'll never go back to disposable tampons again! I can't believe it. I wish I had known about you years ago. I was very skeptical at first, but the directions that come with it were precise and I've had no problems with insertion or removal. I'm now going to order some GladRags to use as pantyliners/backup, and I can honestly say I'm looking forward to next month's "visit!" Thank you so much for such wonderful, economical, healthy, and eco-conscious products. I'm going to tell every woman I know!

Traveling with The Keeper Menstrual Cup
“I just returned from a six-month trip in the Southern Hemisphere and The Keeper was a savior. I didn't have to hunt down random tampons in strange places, nor did I have to pack baggies full of wasteful products! I always had it with me. It is always reliable. And, it makes me feel good to know I'm not mucking up an already fragile waste system in places with under-developed infrastructure or in the pristine beauty of nature.

The Keeper Cup - 6 Years Later
“My name is Andrea and I got the Keeper for my 17th birthday from my mom, and I love it. After about a year, my periods became lighter, and I hardly even get cramps anymore. I can't believe more girls don't know about The Keeper. Whenever the subject comes up, I always mention The Keeper; it rocks. I'm 22 years old now, and the money and garbage I've saved in 6 years makes me feel good. Thanx!
” - Andrea G. Ontario, Canada
No More Tampon Trips to the Store
“I ordered The Keeper several weeks ago and I really have to thank you - I found this product online after a search for menstrual cups, which are difficult to find in my area. Never, ever again will I dread getting my period! This product is such a blessing - no leaks, no discomfort, no running to the store mid-cycle because I've run out of tampons or pads.
” - Wendy W. Prattville, AL
Tampon Pain No More!
“I am so grateful that you folks exist! These menstrual products are the only comfortable solutions I've encountered. I have an inverted uterus and regular tampons have always been painful, and at first, I was very skeptical of The Keeper. It is comfortable and I hardly notice it! My main reason for switching to your brand is for environmental reasons -- but both GladRags and The Keeper are so comfortable (so much more comfortable than disposable pads and tampons) that I would switch for that reason alone!
” - DK Cambridge, MA
Academia and The Keeper
“I recently ordered my Keeper and think that it is the 8th wonder of the world. I am a graduate student of Psychology at Connecticut College and because of my love for my Keeper, have decided to conduct a research project assessing attitudes towards alternative forms of menstrual management. I hypothesize that participants who display an interest in alternative products will possess more accurate knowledge about menstruation, more positive attitudes toward menstruation and/or heightened awareness of environmental issues and feminism.

Mothers and Daughters
“I purchased my first Keeper in 1995. I was starting a new job and didn't have much extra money. It was me trying to be frugal. I love the convenience and the comfort! I've just purchased my second. Oh, the first is still in good shape, but I've had my daughter and the new size is much more comfortable. I have a latex allergy and have never had a problem with the gum rubber of The Keeper, but understand your need to have a disclaimer. Rest assured, when my daughter is of age, she will have GladRags and her own Keeper.
” - EB Columbus, OH
Spreading the Word
“I have been using The Keeper for several months and I am amazed...I wish I had known about it when I lived in Bolivia and El Salvador in the 1980s. It's so convenient! I am recommending it to all of my friends who still live overseas -- and those who I know here. Thanks for your great work and positive attitude.
” - Nancy Ames, IA
The Keeper, GladRags and Cycling
“Over the past several years I have used both Glad Rags cloth menstrual pads and The Keeper menstrual cup. I love both products very much. Due to having extremely heavy periods I often used the pads as a 'just-in-case' backup. Normally through I used the pads at night and The Keeper during the day. I am a daily bicyclist. I like having the internal protection The Keeper provides when I ride. I started using both products after I started using cloth diapers on my son. If I cared enough for the planet not to use disposables on him for 2 1/2 years, why would I use them for the 20-30 years that a woman has periods? I found that they paid for themselves within a year. After I had been using them I also has a friend that contracted Toxic Shock Syndrome and almost lost her life. That became another reason not to use chlorine-bleached, petroleum-products against my skin and my body. I find The Keeper very handy when traveling and camping too! No purse or bag required to tote supplies and nothing to dispose of either. I highly recommend both products to every woman.
