A Bristol start-up which has developed an on-the-go cleaning case for reusable menstrual cups has won a share of £75,000 from the University of Bristol.
Cup2 (pronounced Cup Squared) is the invention of graduates Kira Goode and Monica Wai, who surveyed thousands of women to find out what deterred them from using the sustainable period product.
The duo discovered there were concerns about changing in public toilets and cleaning the cup at home, especially in shared houses, so they came up with the idea of a portable sterilising and cleaning case.
