In this industry, we are not required to disclose the content of the products we sell. There are no requirements for the production, process, or raw material before the products are sold. The vagina is the most absorbent organ you have. If the products you use contain potentially toxic chemicals, you may run the risk of getting them right into your bloodstream.
With this in mind as well as an idea for more transparent and to-the-point marketing, the founder of Flove, Jeanett wanted to develop a well-documented menstrual cup, of high quality and without toxic chemicals. After 2,5 years of testing, prototyping, failing, and researching Flove menstrual cup finally launched in May 2019.
The cups are designed and developed in Norway and are produced in a certified "clean room" in Taiwan. Jeanette visited the factory in March 2019. The silicone used is certified medical-grade silicone from Dow Corning. The bag coming with the menstrual cup when buying one is made of lyocell Tencel, printed and sewn at Fabrikk Oslo.
The packaging is made of carton and is printed at 07 media in Oslo. The goal is to make menstrual cup mainstream and to sell more sustainable products. * One of the reasons Flove was established was to help girls to stay in school around the world. There are so many girls who can't afford sanitary pads and the result is often that many girls drop out of school. We are looking for the right partner to help us help as many girls as possible to stay in school.
