Compare the MeLuna USA Drawstring Pouch and the Planetwise Small Wetbag for storing your menstrual cup. Learn which option suits your travel and daily needs.
Quick answer
For everyday breathable storage at home, choose the MeLuna USA Drawstring Pouch. For travel or carrying wet items, the Planetwise Small Wetbag is the better choice.
Why storage matters for your menstrual cup
A menstrual cup needs a clean, breathable home between cycles to stay hygienic and last longer. The right pouch also keeps your cup protected in a purse or suitcase. Both the MeLuna USA Drawstring Pouch and the Planetwise Small Wetbag serve this purpose, but they excel in different situations.
Key differences at a glance
The MeLuna pouch is made from organic cotton, making it soft, breathable, and washable. It fits all MeLuna cup sizes up to XL with room to spare. The Planetwise Wetbag has a polyurethane laminate (PUL) inner layer that is anti-microbial and inhibits bacteria and fungi, plus a 100% cotton outer and a waterproof zipper. This makes it ideal for damp or soiled items.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Breathability vs waterproofing: The organic cotton drawstring pouch lets air circulate, keeping your cup dry. The wetbag’s PUL liner locks moisture in, which is great for travel but not ideal for long-term dry storage. Choose the pouch for daily storage; choose the wetbag for on-the-go use.
- Size and portability: The MeLuna pouch fits all cup sizes up to XL and is lightweight. The Planetwise Wetbag is slightly bulkier due to its waterproof lining and zipper, but still compact enough for a purse. Both are portable, but the pouch is more minimalist.
- Care and maintenance: Both are washable. The organic cotton pouch can be machine washed and air dried. The wetbag’s PUL liner should be washed gently and not exposed to high heat to maintain its waterproof layer. The pouch is simpler to care for; the wetbag requires a bit more attention.
