menstrual cup

Reusable period collector

A menstrual cup is a small, flexible cup inserted into the vagina during menstruation to collect blood.

Unlike tampons and pads, which absorb, cups catch and hold fluid until removed and emptied.

They're typically made of medical-grade silicone and are reusable for years: I switched to a menstrual cup to reduce waste.
