A menstrual cup is a small, bell-shaped cup made from medical-grade silicone. You insert it into your vagina during your period. Instead of absorbing blood like a pad or tampon, it collects it. You empty the cup, wash it, and reuse it. One cup can last up to 10 years with proper care.<\/span><\/p>\n

Menstrual cups have been around since the 1930s. However, women in Pakistan show high reliance on pads. A 2019 Lancet Public Health review of 43 studies and 3,300 women found that menstrual cups are safe and leak the same or less than pads and tampons. About 73% of women who tried them wanted to keep using them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most cups hold 20 to 50 ml of fluid. A regular pad holds only 5 to 15 ml. So a cup collects two to three times more blood, meaning fewer changes throughout the day.<\/span><\/p>\n
