Menstrual cups are becoming an increasingly popular choice for people who menstruate, providing a reusable and eco-friendly alternative to disposable period products like pads and tampons. .
What is a Menstrual Cup?
A menstrual cup is a reusable funnel-shaped period product that is inserted into the vagina canal to catch period blood. It sits below the cervix, making it easy to insert and remove.
Cups collect more blood than other period products, making them a popular choice. Depending on your flow, cups can be used for up to 8 hours before they need to be removed, cleaned, and re-inserted.
Cups are made from either body-safe rubber or medical-grade silicon, making them very durable. Menstrual cups can be used for 3 - 10 years if they are looked after, making them the most economical period product out there.
