Me Luna® FAQ Quality and Safety
Quality and Safety
The Me Luna® is our own brand and we leave nothing to chance. The production of Me Luna® menstrual cups take place in our house and are subject to our exacting quality assurance requirements. We are producing here in Germany. All processes take place under own management and under one roof. After packaging, we ship the Me Luna® cups directly to our partners and our customers worldwide.
What is Me Luna® made of?

Award by Consumer Organization
An independent institute have confirmed the quality of our Me Luna® cup.
In its 11/2017 issue, ÖKO-TEST magazine examined a range of menstrual cups and tampons.
*Excellent!* In the tests commissioned by consumer magazine ÖKO-TEST, the Me Luna® menstrual cup in size M, CLASSIC Purple with Ring achieved the overall rating “very good”.
What about dangerous plasticisers?
We are often asked if Me Luna® contains any dangerous plasticizers. Understandable, because for many of you the material of the Me Luna® menstrual cups (THERMOPLASIC ELASTOMER), is a completely unknown material. However, TPE generally does NOT contain any of the plasticizers (phthalates) classified as hazardous.
Now there is even a manufacturer who coats the lids of screw jars on the inside with the non-toxic TPE. This necessary coating serves to seal the screw caps of food preserves. The sealant sometimes consists of other, phthalate-containing plastics.

Is Me Luna® vegan?
At Me Luna we have deer, moles and frogs on our doorstep. If necessary, we also take care of an injured bird child in the spring. We live very close to nature and you can be sure that we respect and protect the life of the animals.
We are often asked if the Me Luna® also contains animal raw materials. Of course all Me Luna® Menstrual Cups are Vegan. Neither the raw material nor the color additives contain animal ingredients. Our material suppliers assure that it they don´t use animal-based raw material.
