What sets Ziggy Cup apart from other menstrual cups is its unique design and functionality. Unlike traditional menstrual cups, Ziggy Cup tucks behind the pubic bone without obstructing the vaginal canal. This innovative design allows for unobtrusive use during penetrative partnered sex, enabling women to enjoy intimacy at any time of the month without worrying about mess or discomfort. Furthermore, Ziggy Cup can be worn for up to 12 hours at a time, providing women with confidence and complete freedom to engage in any activity.
Ziggy Cup's design is not only revolutionary in terms of its functionality but also in its construction. Made from 100% body-safe, medical-grade silicone, it is hypoallergenic, phthalate- and BPA-free. The cup's hexagonal texture and leak-proof double rim ensure 12 hours of non-stop protection. Moreover, Ziggy Cup contains no harmful chemicals or irritating fibers, respecting the user's intimate balance.
The Ziggy Cup project, which started in 2016, was introduced and launched on March 21, 2018. In addition to its unique design and functionality, Ziggy Cup also stands out for its eco-friendly nature. As a reusable cup, it not only saves users from the 'period tax' imposed on tampons and pads but also significantly reduces the amount of waste contributed to landfills each year. Disposable tampons and pads can take centuries longer to biodegrade than the women who wore them will live, and contain chemicals, fibers, and bleaches that are potentially harmful to the environment, and to us.
Despite the challenges faced during its creation, the Intimina Creative Team's efforts were recognized when Ziggy Cup was awarded Silver in the A' Beauty, Personal Care and Cosmetic Products Design Award in 2019. This prestigious award is given to top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that illustrate outstanding expertise and innovation. These designs, admired for their strong technical characteristics and splendid artistic skill, showcase a remarkable level of excellence and introduce positive feelings, amazement, and wonder.
In conclusion, Ziggy Cup is a testament to Filip Sedic's innovative approach to design and his commitment to improving women's health and lifestyle. By challenging traditional norms and introducing a product that combines comfort, security, and body-safe materials, Sedic has truly revolutionized menstrual care and intimacy.
