The HERA starter set represents new standards for an environmentally conscious menstrual cycle.
Set of 3 menstrual sponges with retrieval threads: Unlike other menstrual products that use a lot of resources, our sponges grow naturally in the Mediterranean, without any additional effort. They are harvested by a third-generation Greek family business that places particular emphasis on softness and absorbency. The harvest takes place at depths of 50 to 100 meters by specialized divers who leave the root intact so that the sponge can grow back quickly. Thanks to strict harvest breaks and the ability of the sponges to grow back better with occasional harvesting, this process is particularly sustainable. In addition, the attached retrieval threads made of medical silicone are a world first! They are durable, prevent microplastics and are very hygienic because they do not absorb liquid and are easy to clean.
6 pcs. vegan cleaning tabs: Compared to liquid cleaning solutions, our biodegradable tabs made in Germany use significantly less water and cause fewer CO2 emissions. The reduced weight and volume also means lower transport emissions. Since only 2 tabs are needed per cycle, the only waste they generate is the recyclable paper packaging, minimizing overall waste.
To-Go Case made of durable silicone: The case is made of 100% high-quality silicone and is naturally hypoallergenic. Its durable design ensures years of use, generating less waste and saving resources. Unlike disposable products or storage solutions that break quickly or even contain plastic, the To-Go Case is designed to serve you over a long period of time of at least 5 years.

Die Vorteile des Startersets:
Optimaler Komfort: Unsere Menstruationsschwämme können im To-Go Case sicher unterwegs verstaut und gewechselt werden.
Schnelles & sicheres Entfernen: Dank des wiederverwendbaren Rückholfadens aus medizinischem Silikon kannst du den Schwamm unkompliziert und hygienisch entfernen.
Innovativer Rückholfaden: Aus hypoallergenem, medizinischem Silikon gefertigt, ist der Faden wasserabweisend und extrem hygienisch. Er minimiert das Risiko von Infektionen und kann dank seines speziellen Verschlusses am Schwamm befestigt oder entfernt werden. Dies garantiert Langlebigkeit und anpassbare Handhabung.
Hygienische Reinigung: Das medizinische Silikon des Fadens lässt sich entweder zusammen mit den HERA Menstruationsschwämmen und den Reinigungstabs reinigen oder einzeln durch ein einminütiges Auskochen desinfizieren.
Zeitsparende Schwamm-Reinigung: Vergiss die stundenlange Einwirkzeit der Essig-Wasser-Mischung. Mit unseren Reinigungstabs sind die Schwämme in nur 20 Minuten wieder einsatzbereit.
Nachhaltig: Ein Set Reinigungstabs reicht für 3 Zyklen, da vor und nach der Periode nur ein Tab angewendet werden muss. Die Tabs sind vegan, biologisch abbaubar, made in germany und sorgen für eine verbesserte und schnellere Reinigung.
Langlebig & praktisch: Das klappbare Case findet in jeder Handtasche Platz, ist spülmaschinenfest und jahrelang wiederverwendbar.
Die Anwendung des HERA Gesamtsets:
1. Vorbereitung: Vor und nach der Periode die Menstruationsschwämme mit den Reinigungstabs säubern. Schwämme in warmes Wasser legen, einen Tab hinzufügen und für 20 Minuten einweichen lassen. Anschließend gründlich mit Wasser ausspülen. Vor dem Einführen den Schwamm unter fließendem Wasser anfeuchten, zusammendrücken und einführen.
2. Schneller Wechsel: Das To-Go Case ermöglicht einen hygienischen Wechsel, auch unterwegs. Einen frischen Schwamm im Case mitführen, auf der Toilette den frischen Schwamm kurz am Waschbecken anfeuchten und in der Kabine wechseln. Den benutzten Schwamm sicher im geruchsneutralen und verschließbaren Case aufbewahren.
3. Das Entfernen: Den Schwamm maximal 8 Stunden tragen und danach, ähnlich wie bei einem Tampon, durch Ziehen am Rückholfaden entfernen.
4. Reinigung zu Hause: Zuhause den Schwamm mit Wasser reinigen und nach der Periode alle Schwämme erneut mit einem Reinigungstab behandeln. Anschließend außerhalb des Badezimmers an der Luft trocknen lassen und, sobald sie vollständig trocken sind, im mitgelieferten Hygienebeutel bis zur nächsten Periode aufbewahren.
