4 reasons why we will never go back to disposable period products...
Lucy MeacherOnce you make the switch to a cup, you’ll never look back. Here’s why.
We’ve all been there: the last tampon used, the late-night dash to the shop, or the panic of realising you’ve run out right when your period starts.
Reusable period care is changing everything, from our wallets to our wellbeing, and menstrual cups offer a solution that’s better for you, your body, and the planet.
When our founders, Kira and Monica, first started Eleria, they were tired of the waste, the cost, and the lack of transparency in period care. They wanted something that saved money, was better for our bodies, and kinder to the environment, and they didn’t know why more people weren’t on board?
Here are their main reasons for switching themselves, and why they encourage others to switch too!
One cup = £17.50. That's it
Just one Eleria cup costs £17.50, and that’s the last £17.50 you’ll spend on your period for the next 10 years.
Seriously, your bank account will thank you! Ours did when we made the switch!
Convenience. No more last-minute dash to the shops
One of the biggest frustrations and inconveniences during your period? Remembering to add pads or tampons to your shopping list... and then finding space to store the bulky boxes.
With Eleria, one cup has you covered month after month. No wrappers, no applicators, no waste. Simply store your cup in its drawstring bag between cycles: clutter-free, simple, and ready when you need it.
Looking for a more convenient way to care for your cup? The Eleria Cleaning & Sterilising Case makes it easy to clean and sterilise your cup, whether you’re at home or on the go. Here's what others have to say:
No harmful chemicals
Research this year has revealed that some big brand tampons and sanitary pads contain various harmful chemicals, pesticides, microplastics, and toxic metals. It’s worrying, and has led to growing calls for transparency and safer alternatives.
That’s why Eleria stands behind 100% medical-grade silicone: toxin-free, body-safe, and designed with your comfort in mind (also with various shapes and sizes for different needs).
Our cups are safe to use for up to 12 hours of protection, with less risk of irritation, infections, or TSS (just made sure to keep your hands and cup clean!).
Better for the planet
The average person uses around 4-5 disposable products per day whilst on their period, which adds up to over 2,500 items every 10 years. That’s a huge amount of waste, and every year, sanitary products generate an estimated 200,000 tonnes of waste worldwide.
Making the switch to reusables is a small but powerful act of change, one that adds up to a massive collective impact. Knowing your period isn’t polluting the planet? That’s something to feel proud of.
Once you switch, you'll never look back
For us, there’s no going back. When something is better for your body, your wallet, and the world, why would you?
Kira and Monica built Eleria to make that choice easier for everyone. Sustainable period care that works for you: simple, safe, and long-lasting.
