Evening Standard chooses Asan as the best menstrual cup

Evening Standard chooses Asan as the UK’s best menstrual cup!

We’re thrilled to share some fantastic news with you – the Asan cup has been chosen by the Evening Standard as its top-rated menstrual cup. 

At Asan, we spent two years developing our menstrual cup to ensure that it was the perfect design – we wanted to create a product that was easy to insert and remove, didn’t leak, and didn’t discolour over time. It feels wonderful to top the list of Evening Standard Best Buys, as it shows that our hard work to create the perfect menstrual cup really paid off!

The reviewer personally tried and tested 10 medical-grade menstrual cups and put together a menstrual cup buying guide, covering the best covering the best eco-friendly menstrual cups, menstrual cups for heavy flow, and the best menstrual cups for beginners.

Having tested different menstrual cup brands, the reviewer concluded that the Asan cup was the best one of the 10 sustainable menstrual cups she tried. This is because of our brilliant design and removal ring, which makes insertion and removal super easy!

Here is what the review said:

Periods don’t have to be hard and the Asan Menstrual Cup makes the process as easy as can be. Easy to insert and even easier to remove (when needed), the menstrual cup tops our guide of best buys.

It wins bonus points for its round removal ring which gives you a better grip on the cup and enables you to hold onto it easily as you empty it down the toilet. The fact Asan donates one menstrual cup for free to someone who can’t afford period products when you add one to your collection is the icing on top of the cake.
