The Keeper Cup aka The OG Cup | History and Review

Strap in folks - this is a long video. As far as reviews go this isn't that interesting and few people are looking for a review on the Keeper Cup. THAT fact is far more interesting to me. WHY isn't the Keeper Cup a popular option when it is still in business and it was the first modern menstrual cup? Started in 1987, Keeper started the modern menstrual cup movement as we know it. To understand where Keeper started I had to take you on a full journey, starting in the 1930's up through the early 2000's. Find links to interesting reads and sources used for this video below. Special gratitude is owed to Mum.org and Dr. Kelly O' Donnell.
