A menstrual cup is a reusable, eco-friendly feminine hygiene product designed to collect menstrual fluid. It is a flexible, bell-shaped cup typically made from medical-grade silicone, rubber, or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). Menstrual cups are inserted into the vagina during menstruation, where they form a seal and collect blood rather than absorbing it like tampons or pads.Key Features:Sizes and Shapes: Available in various sizes to accommodate different body types and flow levels.Material: Made from hypoallergenic materials, minimizing the risk of irritation or allergic reactions.Reusable: Can last for years with proper care, reducing waste compared to disposable options.Capacity: Holds more fluid than tampons or pads, often suitable for 8–12 hours of wear depending on flow.Benefits:Cost-effective: One-time purchase that can be used for years.Environmentally friendly: Reduces landfill waste.Convenient: Longer wear time reduces the need for frequent changes.Health-conscious: Lower risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) compared to tampons.How to Use:Insertion:Fold the cup (e.g., C-fold, punch-down fold).Insert it into the vagina and allow it to open, forming a seal.Wearing:Check for proper placement to prevent leaks.Most cups can be worn for up to 12 hours, depending on your flow.Removal:Pinch the base to release the seal, then gently pull it out.Cleaning:Rinse with water after each use and sterilize by boiling between cycles.
