Menstrual cup

The menstrual cup is a feminine hygiene device designed to collect menstrual flow during the menstrual period. It is usually made of medical silicone, latex or other body-safe materials, and is shaped like a cup with a stem at the bottom for easy removal. To use, the cup is folded and inserted into the vagina, where it opens and conforms to the vaginal walls to collect menstrual flow. It can be worn for several hours, depending on the amount of menstrual flow and personal preference, and then removed, emptied, rinsed and reinserted as needed. The menstrual cup is reusable and can last for several years with proper care, making it a more economical and environmentally friendly option compared to disposable menstrual products such as tampons and pads. In addition, many people find the menstrual cup more comfortable and less likely to cause irritation than other menstrual products.
