the Keeper

The Keeper


What is the Keeper?

The Keeper is a natural gum rubber cup worn internally to hold your monthly flow. When it is full you simply remove it, empty, rinse and re-insert. No more need to carry around tampons or pads.

How big is the Keeper?

The Keeper folded for Insertion
The Keeper is 3 1/8 inches in length, including the stem (which can be trimmed). At its widest it is 1 3/4" (size A). Its rim can be folded in half and in quarters for insertion. The Keeper easily fits into the palm of your hand.

Why the Keeper? Tampons work great!

The question should be, why tampons? If you are like most women, your first reaction is "eeeeewww!" a rubber cup? But how different can this be from tampons? Sizewise there is little difference. When folded for insertion, the Keeper is not much bigger than a large tampon. When you are out and about you do not have to bring any "extra Keepers" with you, just take out, empty and re-insert. With tampons you need to make sure you have your daily supply on your purse and hope they don't get crushed or ruined. Also tampons are wasteful, costly and have been linked to breast cancer. (Read Toxic Tampons Pose Health Risks for more information on this.) The Keeper is environmentally friendly and can be used for up to 10 years.

How often do I need to empty the Keeper?

The average woman's monthly flow is about 2 to 4 ounces. The Keeper can hold up to one ounce. It can be worn up to 12 hours before emptying. The busy woman can insert the Keeper just before she goes out and not worry about it until evening when she gets home.

Cloth Pads

convenience pack
Convenience Pack: 3 pads, pad holder, the Keeper and Keeper holder.

Some women use the Keeper without any other form of feminine protection. Others prefer the comfort of having a liner. Why not choose cloth for this? We carry beautiful cloth pads available in prints or in natural color. The absorbant middle is 3"x12" and contains a pocket with a cotton insert that can removed on light days. Without the insert, this pad is a perfect panty liner....and it is more comfortable than its paper counter part! The pad has "wings" with snaps that fit round the bottom of your panties.

You can also purchase the pad holder which as two compartments for used and unused pads. It is lined with a waterproof layer and is a beautiful as the cloth pads. These can be purchased separately or together with the Keeper in a convenience pack.
