About the Book

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A menstrual cup is a type of cup or barrier worn inside the vagina during menstruation to collect menstrual fluid. Unlike tampons and pads, the cup collects menstrual fluid rather than absorbing it. There are two types of menstrual cup currently available. The first is a soft, flexible, disposable cup made of polyethylene and resembles the contraceptive diaphragm. The second type is a bell-shaped cup made of rubber (latex), silicone or thermoplastic elastomer (TPE). It is reusable and designed to last for up to 10 years. Some brands recommend replacement each year, 5-10 years or state that women have been comfortable using them up to 10 years. Soft, disposable menstrual cups may be worn during sex, though they are not contraceptive devices. Some women opt for a menstrual cup because it does not absorb natural vaginal secretions as a tampon or sponge would.
