A member asked:
Could someone please give me information on menstrual cups?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For menstruation: A menstrual cup is a flexible cup worn inside the vagina during menstruation to collect menstrual flow. Unlike tampons and pads, the cup collects menstrual fluid instead of absorbing it. They are usually made from medical silicone which is a safe and hypoallergenic material. Menstrual cups are cost-efficient and more environmentally friendly than tampons, since they are reusable for several years.
