We are not only here to promote our product; we are here with a solution for you. A solution that will take your periods from unbearable to enjoyable. We are no magicians so let's get it out of the way first - No we still cannot get rid of those painful cramps. But we can get rid of the painful odor, wetness, and discomfort that you feel by using sanitary pads and tampons when on your period. We are here to turn your worst enemy into your best friend.

Our Vision

Contributing towards Global Sustainable Development Goals through Health, Nutrition, Hygiene and Sanitation with technologically adopted ecological solutions.

Our Mission

Our mission is to end the stigma and taboo that accompanies periods. Menstruation is a beautiful, natural process where your body is letting go of the monthly buildup of blood and mucus that it no longer needs. With this, you should also let go of the shame and stigma that has always been associated with menstruation and accept its importance.

So we are here with a solution that will save our planet of pain and save your money as well. Artav menstrual cups are very affordable and we are here to promote sustainability. The Artav menstrual cup can be used for several years. This means you can save all the money you have to spend on purchasing tampons and sanitary pads and put it to much better use!

History Of Menstrual Cups

The first usable Menstrual Cup was invented and patented by Leona Chalmers in 1937. Menstrual Cups have had a rough path to finally being accepted by menstruators across the world. The reason behind their initial unpopularity is deeply rooted in the fact that they need to be inserted inside the vagina to be used. This raised doubts in the mind of many when they were first launched because a common misconception was formed that virginity and menstrual cups don't go hand in hand. To this day, there is a constant heated debate between menstrual cup users and menstrual cup non-users as to whether menstrual cups are safe for the virgin population or not.

There are also commercial reasons behind the unpopularity of menstrual cups. Since pharmaceutical companies and hygiene companies can generate more profits from the consumers buying monthly supplies, they have shown less interest in promoting and producing menstrual cups. This is the reason why information about Menstrual cups is not as widespread as the information about other menstrual products.

Over the years menstruators have come forward with many concerns about menstrual cups that have not been all that well handled. Menstruators showed concerns when it comes to getting a toxic shock from menstrual cups. But extensive research and studies show that TSS or Toxic Shock Syndrome is rarer in menstrual cup users than in tampon users.

Menstrual cups do not only promote autonomy while menstruating, but they also promote healthier and more hygienic periods. With more information coming out and with more people being educated about menstrual cups, there can be seen a brighter future for menstrual cups which will finally set them free of their rough past and years of unacceptance.
