Interesting eBay Cup Findings...

[melissa569]

Just showing everyone some interesting things I found on eBay.  First I found the old “Green Donna” cup, once again disguised as “moon cup” in the pink box.  Shaped pretty much exactly like Lunette, here:

it's not disguised as a moon cup. the cup on the box is certainly a green donna.
it's just that in some countries they are all called mooncup.

also, lunette=52 mm and great for low cervix. green donna=55 mm, great for a high cervix. try to remain unbiased despite your affiliation with lunette.

Whether white, pink or lavender, they've been around for quite a while already. I've been watching these for a couple of years on Chinese wholesale sites such as alibaba.com. Most of them started off as Green Donnas. Apparently many/most of them still are. Are the others over-runs and seconds repackaged into generic packaging? Or are they knock-offs? I don't know.

The older packaging said "Moon Cup" until the Chinese distributors apparently figured out that Moon Cup is a brand name. Then they changed it to "Menstrual Cup." They copy and paste dimensions and instructions from other menstrual cup ads and sites without regard to accuracy.

I had wondered about the Lithuanian one -I liked her bags anyway:)

And also Im not surprised to see lets say very similar to Naturalmamma cups coming out of China (as the real Naturalmamma are made there). In your listing there are also Femmecups mentioned. When you look through the Chinese wholesale listings on the internet you always seem to find cups similar to those manufactured for western companies (Femmecup used to be Chinese manufactured but is now manufactured in the UK). I dont know if there is much that Naturalmamma etc can do except bring pressure on the actual company that works for them.
