Dot Cup - Soft, Comfortable, Menstrual Cup - Buy One Give One - Made in USA - Patented Design - Best Period Cup - Active

● WILL THIS THING FIT ME? We get it, every body is different. We made DOT specifically to be ‘one size fits MOST.’ If you have a low cervix you can trim the stem, even going so far as to cut it completely off. Consider DOT a compromise that fits between most brands’ size 1 and size 2. We have happy customers that range all the way from virgin to multiple vaginal childbirths.● OK BUT IS IT COMFORTABLE? We use soft, medical grade silicone for specifically this reason. The suction is strong so leaks are pretty much unheard of, with an advanced design so that release is easy. We’re not going to name any names, but some of our biggest fans used other brands first and switched for comfort reasons. You can wear DOT for up to 12 hours. We don’t recommend trying that with a tampon.● IT’S NOT A GIRLY COLOR because we value something that works well over something that fits into gender marketing stereotypes. Plus black never goes out of style. Blood tends to stain, and over time your cute pink or purple reusable cup is going to start looking pretty dingy. We wonder if that’s on purpose so you’ll be forced to buy another one? Either way, the Dot Cup is FDA-approved black silicone and will not stain. We’ll make less money but you don’t need to buy another one for 10 years.● GOOD FOR YOU: spending money on tampons adds up. Save that $ and do something good. Or treat yourself to a fancy cup of coffee, it’s your money. GOOD FOR THE PLANET: duh, reusing the same DOT for 10 years beats throwing away thousands of paper products. GOOD FOR SOMEONE ELSE: For every DOT we sell, we ship one to a girl in the developing world with no access to menstrual care products. This allows her to stay in school instead of falling behind, and ultimately changes lives.● MADE HERE IN THE USA using a patented design. We worked with the best manufacturers and use the highest quality raw materials. We don’t do returns, obvi, but we get that every penny counts so if you’re not satisfied with your DOT experience just hit us up for a refund. DOT is FEMALE OWNED AND OPERATED.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this cup with catching everything and not leaking?

The DOT cup has a firm rim in addition to a super soft and flexible body. This means that it’s comfortable, but also creates a perfect suction seal. If properly inserted leaks are a non-issue. From a capacity standpoint the DOT cup has 3x the volume of a super tampon, so even during your heaviest flow there will be less trips to the bathroom.

Some cups are impossible to get out, is DOT like that?

Nope! We’ve heard horror stories of suction like a giant squid, and women having to go to emergency clinics in tears - but breathe easy! The #1 secret to comfortably removing DOT (and all cups) is pinching the base of the cup to release suction before AND while you pull it out. The stem is there to bring the cup down from high inside, but should not be used to actually remove. Firmly grip the base of the cup to release the suction seal as you pull down and out.

Why the buy-one give-one model?

In the developing world there is tons of stigma around women on their periods. With little access to menstrual hygiene products it is common for girls who are on their period to be forced out of school. Missing an average of 60 days each year puts them at a massive disadvantage. The DOT cup allows young women to continue living their lives as normal despite the stigma around menstruation. Our hope is to focus on this small subset of women’s health to make a difference for girls who want to follow their dreams.
