With menstrual cups arguably never being more popular than they are right now, one might think that they are a fairly new invention. But the first cup was actually invented in 1867 predating pads by a decade, though it never made it to market. Over 150 years later, menstrual cups are more mainstream and having a bit of a moment in the media and on social channels.

Some of the benefits include:

• Cost-effective
• Prioritizes comfort
• Shows a preference for healthcare
• Sustainable and eco-friendly

Over the past few weeks we have been giving away period cups from The Hello Cup to our club's senior and open college players. While we weren't able to offer every player a cup, The Hello Cup has given our members the opportunity to purchase these cups at a discounted price.

Check out their website and use the promo code 'HELLOWAITAKERE' to receive a 25% discount.This offer will run until the end of July.
