A menstrual cup is a small, flexible cup made of silicone that you insert into your vagina to collect (not absorb) period blood. You empty and rinse it every 8-12 hours. Cups are reusable, eco-friendly, and can last for years! They might seem intimidating at first, but many people love them once they get used to them. They’re safe, cost-effective, and you can even swim or sleep with them.
