If purposeful purchasing plays a big role in your menstrual cup shopping you may want to pick a brand that chooses to give back. Luckily there are many menstrual cups that offer a “one for one” model (just like the TOMS brand), those who run their own charities and educational outreach arms, or those who raise funds for worthwhile causes through the sale of their cups. A charity component is featured on our Menstrual Cup Comparison Tool for your consideration.
Ruby Cup
Every time you buy a Ruby Cup, you donate another one to a school girl in East Africa. A Ruby Cup helps her stay in school and relieves her from the monthly stress of not being able to afford pads and having to make do with rags and toilet paper.

Hello beauties!!!
I know this is a really though times for all of us and unfortunate to others, but sending love and prayers are the best way to let others know that we care. Btw, I am new in this cup thingy. I just have known this 2 months ago. I am a Filipina who is really truly tired of using pads and leaking. Since I have switched and experienced the difference, I want to share the news to every woman I know. However, here in the Philippines, a lot of people does not want to try because their scared and cups were expensive. So, they find it inconvenient and not an option. I wanted to change it. I wanted to change their beliefs that menstrual cups really could change everything in them, like it does to me. I hope you guys can spread the word further here in the Philippines or maybe have some programs that will reach us and acknowledge us because there are lots of strong women here who badly needed to know the advantages and benefits of cups that will change their lives. I hope you can also change our simple lives here to have better future for the next generations.
