Out with the old, in with the NEW! Menstrual Cups are here and are changing the way ladies are managing their periods…for the better!
If you’ve ever wondered what you could do to improve your period, you’re going to want to join us for this Friday’s Tweet Chat (4/11 at 11am Pacific): The 411 on Menstrual Cups!
To many, menstrual cups are a foreign concept, much like tampons were when they came out. And with anything new, comes questions – we get that! That is why we are hosting a special tweet chat to address these questions 
and concerns with special guests Lunette, DivaCup & Softcup. We’ll be covering everything from the environmental benefits to personal/health benefits to the different options available. And of course we’ll also have time for some Q & A!
To promote the tweet chat and encourage participation our wonderful special guest, Lunette, is sponsoring a great giveaway! One lucky participant will win Lunette’s Classic Clear Menstrual Cup, PLUS a box of Disinfecting Cup Wipes (details on how to enter are below.)
Just what exactly is a Lunette Cup?
The Lunette menstrual cup is a tampon alternative that is healthier for your body, better for the environment and makes a smaller dent in your pocketbook.
– Easy to use. Just fold, insert like a tampon and it collects blood rather than absorbs it. You empty it rather than change it — a little bit different. By the way, every Lunette comes with its own satin storage pouch.
– Safer. Tampons have been linked to a risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome. Unlike tampons, the Lunette menstrual cup doesn’t absorb moisture. Unlike pads, Lunette will not cause sweating. Made from soft medical grade silicone (not rubber latex).
– Better for nature. Menstrual cups are simply washed and reused. Since using a menstrual cup requires less changing than tampons, they create zero waste. No plastic applicators, wrappers or bio-waste from used tampons and pads. That’s nice for the earth!
We at Be Prepared. Period. are not shy to share, menstrual cups are one of our favorite products. To encourage more ladies to give them a try we’re offering a special 10% off – just enter promo code #Lunette$$ (exp. 4/18). For more info or to purchase your own today click the link below.

I love this idea! Will be learning more to decide if this might be right for me. Thanks!
I would like to win a Lunette Cup because my periods are painful due to fibromyalgia. Tampons hurt and pads irritate my skin. I would also like one to help save money. I don’t have a lot to spend each month on personal products so this would really help. Thanks for the chance.
Because I’m trying to be greener, and I love the idea of a product for that time of the month that doesn’t produce trash! Saving money is a plus too–bettter for the environment and my wallet.
Hi! I would like to win a Lunette cup because I currently use another popular brand of cup, and I don’t think it’s quite the right fit for me, I’ve had it two years and it tends to leak on the first couple of days. I don’t think a cup should do that.
I love that menstrual cups are safer for your body and better for the environment.
I want to win because I would love a more eco-friendly period protection option.
I’ve been wanting one for a very long time!
I would love to try a reusable product each month!
I would love to win one to give to a friend. She really needs one.
I have been using a lunette cup for a year now and I would never go back to using tampons! If I won I’d either keep the cup as backup or give away to one of my friends! 🙂
Its cheaper, safer, ecofriendly
I’ve heard great things about the Lunette. I’d like to try it or possibly give it to my niece so she has another option.
Love lunette and all reusable products!
I’d love a better alternative for tampons after having my kids!
I want a Lunette cup to be better to the environment and more healthy for my body.
Would absolutely love love love to try a menstrual cup, especially lunette!
I really want a menstrual cup. I am getting sick and tired of pads and tampons because it irritates me and I don’t have the money to pay for a cup at the moment.
I would love to win a Lunette. My perods are so heavy that other cup I purchased isnt always keak free and I hear yours is better. I should have done more resesrch.
I love that the Lunette is better for the environment AND is safer than most conventional products.
I heard about this item from Zen Mama. I really want to be more healthy and protect myself from bleach and chlorine, etc.
I would love to have a Lunette cup because it sounds perfect for me! I am tired of “traditional” options and I would love to try something new.
Have not heard about Be Prepared. Period. before and am glad this giveaway brought me here.
I have always loved the idea of cups, but have not had the chance to try one out.
I love my mama cloth and wanna finish “greening my period” by stopping using disposable tampons!
I’ve always wanted to try a Lunette cup! can’t wait to see the winners!
I want something that is eco friendly
would love to have one! 🙂
I would love to win a Lunette cup! I love the idea of using a product that’s better for the environment, and also better for my health with no harsh chemicals, and no irritants!
I want a Lunette cup because it makes me feel that I can start making of this planet a better place being proud of who I am, a woman. Having a cup would help me to understand how my body works and having my period would not be something to regret but an empowering force to know I’m doing small changes that will have a big impact on the earth and future generations. I want to share this amazing invention with everyone but how can I do so without trying it out on my own?
I have wanted to try one for quite awhile.
I love using menstrual cups. I havnt tried a lunette cup and I would love to try one.
I would love to win one!
I have learned that menstrual cups are safer/healthier/better for the environment so I’d like to make the switch
I have a blue one and would love a spare in another color!
To stray away from harmful chemicals!
