I've introduced 3-4 women to them. They all have ended up loving the cups.

I now live in Vietnam and know the owner of one of the leading brands here. She said that her biggest challenge is the fact that a lot of women don't even use tampons because of the whole fear of losing their virginity cultural stigmas.

I don't buy this argument. Which mother (arguably a good chunk of population) cares about that ?
IME (east asian) this fear is really common and I've heard among other east asian female peers of mothers shaming them or shouting at them for daring to use tampons.
But... There's no virginity to "preserve"?!
Tampons are not popular in much of Eastern Asia, with this being one of the major reasons.
