December 29, 2023Amaia Arranz: Menstrual Cups Are The Most Eco-Friendly Period Product
My guest on today’s episode of Period Story is Amaia Arranz. Amaia is the CEO of Ruby Cup, an award-winning social business that works to combat period poverty around the world.

In this episode, Amaia shares:

What it was like getting her period as a teenage girl in Spain in the 90s
How getting her period was a combination of being a part of a VIP cool girl club with a big dose of shame attached
Some of the myths she learned growing up around tampons, virginity and sex
How menstrual cups work and exactly how to use one
The social mission at the heart of Ruby Cup, including their buy one, give one model
How they work with their NGO partners to provide menstrual education and to ensure there are the right conditions, including clean water, to use a menstrual cup safely
And of course, the story of her first period

Amaia says that if you are swimming and a wave comes, you don't argue with the wave. You have to go with the wave. So if your period is coming, get angry, get pissed off, but it's coming, why not go with it and see, maybe it's not the worst thing to have a couple of quiet days once a month with your blanket and your movies and a huge bar of chocolate.

Thank you, Amaia!
