Synopsis

A reusable menstrual hygiene product, menstrual cups have become a popular trend over the last couple of years. Shaped like a funnel, they are small cups made of rubber or silicone that one needs to insert into the vagina to collect period fluid. These leak-proof silicone cups can hold the period blood for around 6-10 hours at once, and being reusable, they are a great eco-friendly alternative to sanitary pads and tampons. Also, it cuts back a lot on the monthly period product expenditure and were definitely not complaining about that! <a href=https://www.editorji.com/story/menstrual-cups-are-safe-effective-says-lancet-study-1563435239026 target=_blank>Menstrual cups</a> need to be handled with utmost importance in order to maintain hygiene.
