Menstrual Cups - Pros and Cons

What is a menstrual cup?

A menstrual cup is a type of feminine hygiene product which is made of flexible medical grade silicone, worn inside the vagina during menstruation to catch menstrual fluid (blood containing uterine lining)-Wikipedia.

What’s it really like to use a menstrual cup?

We are extremely squeamish while talking about periods, mainly due to societal stigma. To break this, SIM started a discussion on the menstrual cups. Simple Indian Moms shared their views and experiences of using menstrual cups instead of pads and tampons during their periods.
