Menstrual cups - New. Sustainable. Useful?

„Neu. Nachhaltig. Nützlich? Insights aus qualitativen Konsumentinnen-Chats zu Menstruationstassen“ (2019)

Much-discussed in the media, the menstrual cup is considered practical and sustainable. They are particularly popular with younger women.

Advantages such as the sustainability of reusable silicone cups are encouraging more and more women to switch from tampons or sanitary towels to menstrual cups. At the same time, interested women who are not yet using the product would like more information.

GIM conducted qualitative consumer chats and was able to gain honest feedback on the reasons for and basic requirements of the cups.

New. Sustainable. Useful? provides you with insights into the information behaviour of users, their purchasing criteria and barriers, experiences made and also gives an outlook on the future development of the menstrual cup.

The study is aimed in particular at managers in the Beauty & Personal Care, Sport & Fitness and Healthcare sectors.
