Did you know that Ruby Cup offers a unique social benefit thanks to its ‘buy one, give one’ policy: every time a Ruby Cup is bought online, one is distributed to an underprivileged girl in Kenya. Not many people are willing to talk about what underprivileged women in the developing world do each month when they menstruate. When they cannot afford disposable sanitary products (which are expensive and scarce), these women and girls have to find alternatives such as mud, bark, rags, cloth or pieces of newspaper. As well as being undignified and unhygienic, this lack of sanitary protection means that they often miss school or work for the duration of their period, and lose out on valuable education and income. Giving these women disposable products is not a sustainable solution as they are costly, damaging to the environment and difficult to dispose of hygienically- so Ruby Cups are a great alternative- for women everywhere! moontimes.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=114
