Menstrual Cup: Safe or Not? Dr. Aruna Kalra (Gynaecologist & Obstetrician)

Описание: What’s a Menstrual Cup?
A menstrual cup is a small, flexible cup that you insert into your vagina. Instead of absorbing your period flow, like a tampon or pad, the cup catches and collects your flow. After 8 to 12 hours, you remove the cup and wash it out for reuse. It's sometimes known as a period cup.

How Do Menstrual Cups Work?
The menstrual cup looks like a small bowl with a little stem on the end. Menstrual cups come in different sizes and materials. You'll see them mostly sold in small and large sizes.

Small: For people with a light to medium flow, who are are under 30 or who haven't had a baby.
Large: For people with a heavy flow, over age 30, or who have had a baby.
Some companies also offer a "teen" size that is smaller than the small size, and/or an extra-large size.
Most period cups are made of silicone. However, some are made of rubber, so if you're allergic to latex, buy one that's made of silicone.

They also come in different shapes:
V-shape: The cup is longer than it is wide. It tapers gradually from the rim. This is the most popular design.
Bell-shape: The cup is rounder than the V-shape, flaring out from the rim. It is longer than it is wide.
Round: The cup is wider than it is long, with the widest point of the vessel being below the rim.
Asymmetrical: The cup has a slanted edge to sit at a certain rotation and angle under the cervix. It is longer than it is wide.
