Instead® Softcup® is a popular alternative method of feminine hygiene designed with your athletes’ needs in mind. One in every three women who try it becomes a passionate user.


What is the Instead Softcup?

The Instead Softcup is an FDA-approved feminine hygiene alternative to pads and tampons that was created by a triathlete to answer the unique needs of the female athlete.


What is the advantage of using the Instead Softcup?

The product can be worn comfortably twice as long as a tampon for up to 12 hours, without irritation, and has not been linked to Toxic Shock Syndrome.


What makes the Instead Softcup different?

The Instead Softcup can withstand high levels of uninterrupted activity and stay in place without leaking. Designed as a cup with a flexible circular rim approximately 2 ½ inches in diameter, the Softcup is about the size of a tampon when compressed for insertion.


What is the Instead Softcup made of?

The product is made from a non-absorbent, non-irritating polyethylene plastic used commonly in medical devices and contains no latex, drying chemicals, or fibers.

What is the best time to introduce the Instead Softcup to your athlete?

At the beginning of each season, athletes are required to take physicals. This is the perfect time to discuss feminine hygiene options and preferences, such as the Softcup, to prepare your athletes for the strenuous season ahead.

So, why should you recommend this to your athlete?

Since many female athletes have a tendency to be sheltered or are uncomfortable with their bodies, having an involved authority figure educate them on feminine hygiene and the menstrual cycle is important.

So, now that you are interested, what next?

Request free samples, or for one of our representatives to help introduce the product to your program. You can also purchase the Instead Softcup at your local Target, Walgreens, CVS, Wal-Mart, Rite-Aid, Kroger, Fred Meyer, or you can pick it up online at www.softcup.com or www.drugstore.com.
