menstrual sponge

Reusable menstrual insert

A menstrual sponge is a small natural or synthetic sponge inserted into the vagina to absorb menstrual blood.

Sea sponges have been used for this purpose for centuries.

Unlike tampons, menstrual sponges are reusable—rinsed, cleaned, and reinserted throughout a period: She switched to a menstrual sponge to reduce waste.
