These cups are close-fitting, bell-shaped cups that are made from medical-grade silicone and that hold menstrual blood instead of absorbing it like old-fashioned sanitary pads and tampons do. They are placed in the vagina to form a barrier that will help to prevent leakage and are reusable for up to 12 hours. These cups offer several advantages such as eco-friendliness, use less in the long run, and do not give the user a conspicuous bleeding period.
