ABSTRACT:
A menstrual cup, which keeps the vagina clean during the monthly cycle, is inserted into the vagina. Menstruation cups are often made of flexible medical-grade silicone, thermoplastic isomers, or latex. They resemble bells and have stems or rings on them. The bell-shaped cup is used for both insertion and removal, pressing on the vaginal wall just below the cervix to hold menstrual fluids in place. It is inexpensive, eco-friendly, and simple to use.
