The purpose of a menstrual cup is to collect menstrual fluid during a person's period by inserting it into the vagina. It is a small, flexible, bell-shaped device made of medical-grade silicone, rubber, or elastomer. A menstrual cup gathers menstrual blood and holds it inside the body until it is emptied, in contrast to pads or tampons that absorb it. Menstrual cups are economical, environmentally friendly, and provide long-lasting protection for up to 12 hours, depending on flow. They are typically reused for several years.
- In August 2019, OrganicCup ApS introduced new, larger, tiny menstruation cups that were too soft to use and composed of premium medical-grade silicone. These little menstruation cups are the most comfortable and environmentally friendly option for teenagers. With the advent of this device, the company was able to increase its product portfolio and increase its market share in the menstrual cup industry.
