* If you're interested in menstrual cups, you can check out [http://www.sinayacup.com/?v=4e45c2af0995 Sinaya Cup], which is a menstrual cup made in the Philippines and sold online for 1,999 pesos. You can also go to online stores like [https://tackthis.ph/shop/MamaBabyLove/product/lunette-menstrual-cup Mama Baby Love], which sells Lunette in the Philippines, or [https://www.liveloveluna.com/ LiveLoveLuna], which sells Lunette out of Singapore and ships throughout Asia. Also, certain Facebook groups, like [https://www.facebook.com/groups/tipidnanay/ Tipid Nanay] and [https://www.facebook.com/groups/pasabuy/ Parent's Circle Pasa-Buy], have group buys of menstrual cups.
