Menstrual cup

If you like using tampons but want something reusable, a menstrual cup could be a good choice. Usually made from soft, flexible silicone, it sits inside the vagina and collects your period flow instead of absorbing it.

Once you get used to inserting and removing it, a menstrual cup can become a comfortable part of your routine. Simply empty it, clean it as directed and use it again. It’s a practical way to cut down on disposable period products and everyday waste.

Depending on the cup and your flow, you may be able to wear it for up to 12 hours. Always follow the instructions for your particular cup and empty it more often on heavier days. Finding the right size and fit can help you feel more comfortable and confident throughout your period.
