I’m excited to kick off the first Earth Friendly Period Event giveaway with a Lunette Cup from Be Prepared Period!
Be Prepared Period is one of my favorite sites for all things “period”! They offer a wealth of information, resources and products for girls and their parents, and are committed to ensuring no one feels alone, anguished or confused when it comes to menstruation. The Be Prepared website, First Period Kit and #PeriodTalk Twitter Parties have been an incredible source of support and information as I’ve helped my own daughter through her journey to womanhood.
At Be Prepared Period, you’ll find…
- Constant flow of new and accurate information for girls and parents throughout all pages of the website. With girls now experiencing puberty at younger ages than ever before, many parents and children are completely unprepared. The information on the site is compassionate, and designed for everyone involved.
- Specific areas for parents and other women to share their personal stories about puberty and menstruation, which can be the best way for young girls, women and parents to feel like they are not alone in their worries and struggles.
- The steady introduction of new products, many of which are organic and natural so parents, young girls and women can find the best products for them.
- Convenient monthly subscription offers for the delivery of feminine hygiene products which avoids ‘embarrassing’ trips to the store and ensures that all girls (of all ages) have what they need.
- Availability of gift certificates, which makes supplying a loved one with supplies discreet and easy.
- Blogs, Monthly Tweet Chats, Giveaways, and Savings all geared to empowerment and education.
Enter to win a Lunette Cup!
Lunette Cup is one of the healthiest, and safest menstrual products available! It doesn’t absorb moisture like tampons, or cause sweating like pads. Instead, Lunette is a “cup” made of soft medical grade silicone that holds the “liquid”, and is far more hygienic than other options because silicone naturally discourages the growth of bacteria. Your risk of infection is with the Lunette Cup is also much less than that of tampons or pads.
The Lunette Cup is also friendly to the earth and your wallet! Simply purchase the Lunette Cup once for $39.99, and use it each month. There’s zero waste from cardboard, plastic, cotton, wrappers or applicators, and you never have to purchase another menstrual product again! The average woman spends $48-$84 per year on disposable menstrual products, so the Lunette Cup will pay for itself in less than a year, and will continue to last for years to come! The Lunette box and enclosed informational material is made from recycled paper as well.
Best of all, the Lunette Cup makes periods worry and hassle free! That’s right, now you can lead your “normal” life all month long without worrying about leaks, or the hassle of changing your pad or tampon multiple times throughout the day (and night). A cup is far more reliable than tampons or pads, great for sports or other activities, and can be worn continuously for up to 12 hours, day or night. The Lunette Cup even comes with a cute satin pouch that fits discreetly in your purse so you’ll never be stuck in the ladies room asking complete strangers for a tampons ever again!
The Lunette Cup is available in several different colors, all named after different goddesses, and are the only colored menstrual cups approved by the FDA. TheLunette Cup also comes in two different models, designed with your individual needs in mind…
Model 1: Recommended for light to medium flow or for ladies who have never had sexual intercourse. The diameter is 41 mm (1.6 inches) by 47 mm (1.9 inches). The stem measures 25 mm (1 inch). The volume of the cup is 25 ml (0.85 fl oz). Model 1 is made from softer silicone than model 2.
Model 2: (Most popular) Recommended for medium to heavy flow. The diameter is 46 mm (1.8 inches) by 52 mm (2 inches). The stem measures 20 mm (0.8 inches). The volume of the cup is 30 ml (1.0 fl oz). Made from a firmer silicone than model 1.

I love the layout.
I love that their site has earth and body-friendly options like menstrual cups and there is a very young feeling to everything! Maybe it’s because I’m still new to this whole thing, but I feel like young girls don’t know about other options besides disposable pads/tampons.
They offer a wide variety of products- everything you would need in one place!

I like their organic options cause my period isnt really what I was expecting to find organic things for. Its really new for me especially the cloth pad options.
I love that they have an automatic shipping! I think that is awesome esp for shy girls who don’t like having to go into a store and buy period products (I was that girl when I was a teen!).
I like the period kits.
The subscription is a great idea!
I like that they have information & products for menstruating women of every stage in life.
I like that they have giveaways too! Thanks!
I love the subscription idea! I sure do wish I had that when I was a preteen and would get soo embarrassed to go to the store for feminine products!
I love that they have advice for girls and their parents. Thanks!
I love that girls are introduced to cloth pads and organic pads/tampons at an early age to become aware!

i love how easy the site is to navigate
I love the fact that they offer information and personnal stories for young girls to learn about and not be shamed of their bodies.
I learned that they partnered with You ARE Loved, a non-profit raising awareness about tampon related TSS!
I love all the information on puberty and first periods! It is such a good resource.
Holy cow. I don’t know why I didn’t discover them sooner!! I didn’t realize I could have that stuff shipped to my house!! I feel like I’ve been living under a rock. Without fail, I still end up with the male checker and get embarrassed. I’m in my 30′s. It never fails LOL
I love how the website is geared toward the younger women and that there are options for your period.
How did I not know about this site earlier? I’m going to have to spend some more time checking out what it has to offer!
I love that it is such a great resource for parents and their girls about puberty and periods
Good, easy to understand info for girls/teens!
I love their giveaways annnnnd that it’s pink
I love how BePrepared shares stories from real people, rather than just facts and figures on menstruation.
There is lots of info about puberty and you.
It looks like my previous post disappeared. What I said was, I like that real people have shared their story on this site. To elaborate, this can help girls and teens really connect with what’s happening to their body better than just reading facts and figures on menstruation.
Would love to win this giveaway! Been researching menstrual cups all night, very interested!
The sense of community is great on that website. It allows females to become more informed and comfortable with their bodies.
I like that the website gives teens a place to find practical information and tips on menstruation. (I would have loved this when I was younger!) I also love that the website includes non-mainstream products and information.
I love that they focus on reusable products!
I’ve never heard of bepreparedperiod.com before, until today! I took a good look around, and I LOVE all the resources and information they have available. If/when I have a daughter I will definitely try to point them into having a positive period experience by exploring that site, and others, together. I wish I had something like this when I was first experiencing my period. I would’ve loved my body a lot more! I also love all the give aways they do!
Helps to spread the word about reusable menstrual products
I love the color sceme!
automatic shipping in discreet packaging at a lower cost… um all of the above!
I like that you can have things sent to your house and have orders set up to deliver on a regular basis.
I like the Lunapads cloth pad kit

I like that they have so many options, many green options too. I also enjoyed their info on periods and puberty.
I love the fact that they carry both re-usable and disposable products.
I like that they have period kits for girl
I’ve been looking at these cups for a while but have been nervous about trying them. Maybe this is the incentive I needed!
I love the lay out, and how everything is so easily accessible.
I like that they offer a variety of supplies, I plan showing my daughter all of her options and letting her try everything she feels comfortable trying. I don’t want her to feel pressured to use cloth or cups because I do, but I am sure she will figure out on her own how much better they are than disposables(-;
I like that they have period kits. The First Period kit is really cute!
Great site very informative. I like the kits and that there are alternatives to traditional products.
