WHAT IS A MENSTRUAL CUP?

It is a small cup-shaped device made of medical silicone (or other materials) that is used to collect blood during menstruation. It is placed inside the vagina, like a tampon.

They exist in two types: bell-shaped (traditional model) and diaphragm-shaped (menstrual disc). The diaphragm-shaped model allows for sexual intercourse and must be inserted in a different way. You can find it in our shop under the name of Unique menstrual disc.

Menstrual cups have been around for several years (1936). They became more popular about 10 years ago and are now better known in today's eco-conscious and cost-saving world.
