What is a menstrual cup?

Reading Time: 2 minutes

A menstrual cup is a small, foldable, reusable device made from silicone, rubber, or plastic that collects, rather than absorbs, the menstrual blood when inserted into the vagina. Since you can rinse it out and use it throughout your cycle and for years to come, a menstrual cup is an environmentally-friendly, healthy, and more comfortable alternative to pads and tampons.
