Fair Squared Menstrual Cup (pink)

The FAIR SQUARED Period Cup is a soft menstrual cup, made from Fair Trade natural rubber. It does not absorb the menstrual fluid but collects it. The Period Cup can be used throughout the menstrual cycle, no matter whether the menstrual flow is light or heavy. It gives you longer protection because the cup can retain more than three times the amount of menstrual fluid than a regular tampon. The Period Cup is reusable, can easily be cleaned with water and once you know how to correctly insert it you won't feel it. Unlike menstrual cups made from silicone or plastic the Period Cup is an environmentally friendly sanitary hygiene product. Made from FSC® 100% certified Fair Trade natural latex from Sri Lanka.

Natural Rubber is biodegradable.

Fair Rubber is a good thing for a lot of people. In particular the primary producers of natural latex, the rubber tappers, plantation workers and small scale farmers should be able to participate in Fair Trade. But because of low world market prices for rubber they are often unable to adequately provide for their families.

This is where Fair Rubber Association steps in: The members of the Fair Rubber Association pay 0.50 € per kilogram of Dry Rubber Content (DRC) to their supplier partners. The Fair Trade Premium ensures (in most instances) that the costs of production are met even when world market prices are very low. The Fair Trade Premium can be used to help improve living and working conditions. The board of the small scale farmers’ co-operative or, on plantations, a committee consisting of workers, elected by the workforce and delegates of the management team (called ‘Joint Body’) decide on how to spend the Fair Trade premium, a procedure similar to the one instituted by FLO.
At present FAIR SQUARED condoms and period cups carry the Fair Rubber Logo. FAIR SQUARED is committed to working with the Fair Rubber Association, all future FAIR SQUARED rubber products will be Fair Rubber Association labelled.

FAIR SQUARED takes fairness to be a two dimensional concept: high quality products and a transparent production process. FAIR SQUARED means that we pay a Fair Trade premium for ingredients we source in countries of the so called ‘developing world’ so that producers, plantation workers and small scale farmers and their families can improve their living and working conditions. FAIR SQUARED aims to deal fairly with everyone involved in the production of our products – humane working conditions, environmental and economic sustainability, no child labour and no animal testing or animal products.
