menstrual cups

Reusable period collectors

Menstrual cups are flexible, bell-shaped devices inserted into the vagina to collect menstrual blood.

Made of silicone or rubber, they're reusable alternatives to tampons and pads—emptied, washed, and reinserted throughout a period.

I switched to a menstrual cup to reduce waste.

Also called period cups.
