The Keeper menstrual cup
if you want an alternative
to tampons
The Keeper is a small natural gum-rubber cup, used instead of tampons. It collects rather than absorbs the menstrual flow. Simply insert it, then six to eight hours later remove, empty, rinse and re-insert! The Keeper is designed to give about ten years of economical, environmentally friendly menstrual protection never buy pads or tampons again! The USA manufacturers are so sure of their product they offer: "satisfaction guaranteed within 90 days or your money back".
"Using the Keeper has helped change the way I feel about my bleeding. I now really enjoy the time of my period, and feel far more in touch with my body and its cycles through using the Keeper. No longer a messy, plastic, sometimes smelly, disconnected, dioxin full, wasteful time, I would recommend the Keeper - and do often! - to any woman."
