Jimmyjane’s Sunny Rodgers agreed.
“Overall, retail staff members that our
team has spoken with have been highly
supportive of our move toward positive
intimate health and wellness and appreciate
that we are providing consumers with viable
intimate care options.”
Fun Cups’ Sonny Farnsworth is a firm
believer in inviting store staff to personally
experience their Fun Factory products and
that includes the silicone Fun Cups. “I
think if a salesperson is able to test the use
of any product in our industry, they’ll be
more likely to promote it to customers. We
try to emphasize all of the benefits of the
cups—such as environmental impact and
economic benefits—so hopefully everyone
feels good about explaining and promoting
them to customers on the sales floor! Any
woman with a period should be able to
choose the menstrual product that’s right
for them, and we want people to have
the information they need to make their

Both companies take a slightly different approach
to how they offer their products to the menstruating
population. Jimmyjane’s menstrual cups are
packaged in a two pack with a larger cup for heavier
flows and a smaller cup for lighter days. Available in
clear and purple, the bell-shaped curve of the cups
hug contours, while the fuller, ergonomic rim was
designed to prevent any type of leakage. Both
cups have a small tail to pull the cup out of
the vagina and come with a designer storage
bag.
Fun Factory’s silicone Fun Cups are
available in two sizes that allow for more
comfortable wear as well as accommodation
for different amounts of blood flow. The
cervix-hugging opening is at a slight,
anatomically friendly angle and the tulip-
shaped cup tapers down to a gently rounded
tip for users to grasp with their fingertips to
remove. Three kit options are available for
the Fun Cup that include two cups in each of
the sizes as well as the “Explore Kit,” which
includes one cup of each size. All of the kits
include an entertaining, instructional booklet
promoting Fun Factory’s Fun Cup mission,
and a small, anti-microbial carrying tote made
of tear-proof Tyvek so they’re ready to go
whenever the Red Baron decides to strike.
So save the earth with the adult industry’s
newest additions for the most ancient bodily
function. Your body and Mother Nature will
thank you for it.
