New Global Partnership in (Cambodia and South Africa)
Updated: Jan 23, 2023
NERDS RULE INC partners with the Princess D Menstrual Cup in Cambodia and South Africa. Our NERDS RULE INC. Academy Fellows will have an opportunity to become an ambassador.
Every woman and girl should be a “green goddess” and manage their menstruation in a hygienic way with total privacy, safety and dignity. The PrincessD Menstrual Cup is a reusable, eco-friendly, cost-effective menstrual cup made of the highest quality medical grade silicone.
The aim for creating the PrincessD Menstrual Cup which is reusable for 10 years, a “green” alternative to disposable tampons and pads was to help disadvantaged rural girls, but we found that all girls and women who menstruate are able to benefit from this healthy, hygienic, environmentally friendly, cost-effective and sustainable solution.
It is made from FDA approved medical grade silicone and has no toxins, bleaches, dyes or other chemicals. Other benefits: comfortable for sports such as athletics, cycling, scuba diving, swimming, yoga, dancing or any type of physical activity as it offers safe, secure, discreet and leak-free protection for up to 12 hours at a time. It alleviates the embarrassment for schoolgirls from having messy dresses and the school principals love it because it ensures there are no messy toilets or blockages in toilets.
The cheapest pack of 10 sanitary pads costs R16.99 (South African Rand). On average, for a menstrual cycle a girl/woman needs about 30 (changing every 3-4 hours). Due to unaffordability, this is not happening, and they are leaving their menstrual products for longer than 3-4 hours which results in infections.
