(Health-NewsWire.Net, October 21, 2015 ) New York, New York -- There is a new kid on the block in the menstrual cups market in the USA called the MenstroCup. The cup is manufactured and distributed by Femogene based in New York.
Menstrual cups are medical grade silicone bell shaped cups that are designed to sit inside a woman's vagina to catch menstrual fluid rather than absorb it. The cup is inserted like a tampon, emptied when full (holds two to three times more than a super plus tampon) and reused after each menstrual cycle. The cups tend to last for years if well looked after and are a viable alternative to the conventional pads and tampons.
It is estimated that the average woman in America will create a total of 62,415 pounds of menstrual waste in her lifetime.Though not for everyone, menstrual cups tend to have a cult like following and are growing in popularity in America and also internationally.
In a survey in 2011 Time Magazine found that 91% of all women who tried a menstrual cup said they would keep using it and would recommend it to family and friends.There are a number of women who are still adverse to the whole idea, but the tide is slowly turning as more and more, especially younger women are looking for better alternatives to tampons and pads.
Since the MenstroCup's launch on the 25th of September 2015 the cup has broken into the top 100 best sellers on Amazon under its respective category and seems to be spear heading forward.
"Our product is well priced, made of high quality medical grade silicone and features a unique design. At the current cost we believe we have a competitive advantage over our competition. We should be able to infiltrate the market in a relatively short period of time because of this." Says Sarah Brightwood - Sales Manager at Femogene. "The cup has taken us roughly 6 months to design and manufacture. We are extremely satisfied with the outcome."
Time will tell if the MenstroCup will be able to infiltrate the American market and compete with the other brands.
