The ecological benefits of menstrual panties
Facing plastic continent (vortex of trash floating in the Pacific Ocean), facing our trash which overflow, facing the microplastic pollution in our air, our water (and even our clouds), all actions count! There ecological transition is also carried out at the level of our menstrual routine. And it’s pretty simple to set up, I promise!
Zero waste
La pair of period panties produces no waste behind it. No plastic packaging, no plastic tabs, nothing to throw away! Menstrual lingerie is durable, can be rinsed, washed and reused cycle after cycle, year after year.
Quite the opposite of disposable sanitary napkin, tampon or panty liner which can only be used once.
Menstrual panties are therefore perfect for all those wishing to limit their waste, their plastic production, who are sensitive to plastic pollution. By choosing durable and reusable objects, we pollute less.
At Louloucup, our packaging is limited and is mainly made from recyclable materials.
A gentle wash
Who says durable hygienic protection says washable. For optimal care, menstrual panties require gentle washing: rinsing in cold water, a short cycle in the machine at 30° max with an extra-gentle detergent without too aggressive detergents.
In short, it is necessary to apply a ecological washing without hot water or toxic products. This is necessary so that the period panties retain all their absorption capabilities. It has technical fabrics that must be particularly pampered.
In addition, for effective maintenance of menstrual panties, both the dryer and the iron are unnecessary. Simple drying in the open air is best. This saves electricity and energy.

Ecological and environmental commitments at Louloucup
Knowing that thetextile and fashion industry are one of the most polluting in the world, we wanted, at Louloucup, to do everything possible to limit our environmental and carbon impact. Several measures have been taken and are applied so that Louloucup products (cups and briefs) as well as our activity respect our environment and our planet as much as possible. Concretely this translates as follows:
80% French or European production
Our cups (the Turquoise cup and the Rose cup) are menstrual cups made in France. 100% French and local. 80% of our menstrual panties are made in Portugal, a European country known for its textile know-how.
By focusing on local, we drastically reduce our carbon footprint. By focusing on Europe rather than India or China, we also ensure decent working conditions for employees in the workshops.
Certified organic cotton
This is, without a doubt, the great strength of Louloucup: the inside of all our panties is lined with certified organic cotton. Choosing a natural organic material was a priority. When we know the bad and toxic composition of tampons and disposable pads, our panties had to be the complete opposite: clean and healthy products. Here, the part in contact with intimacy is exclusively in organic cotton. A material that respects your health and your body, in addition to being very soft and pleasant. Only positive!
Good to know : the correct composition of our panties is a priority for us. We remain completely transparent by clearly sharing their composition on each product sheet.
Please note that all our panties are subject to recurring tests by independent laboratories which ensure the non-toxic of our products. The reports are available online on our website.
All our fabrics are thus guaranteed without silver nanoparticles and are certified Oeko-tex 100. They are therefore neither harmful to health nor to the environment. They are free of harmful and toxic substances.
Road transport rather than air
We chose road transport rather than air transport to transport our precious pants. Knowing the carbon impact of air freight, transport by road is, although polluting, still more responsible than plane.
Recyclable packaging
As you may have noticed if you have already ordered from us, the packaging of our panties, like the packaging of our cups, is made from recyclable cardboard and paper. A no-brainer for us.
Vegan and cruelty-free products
Small obvious reminder that helps preserve our resources, but also all living beings on our planet, all Louloucup products are vegans and certified cruelty-free. No animal fibers or animal materials are used in the design of our products.
