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.

Choosing a menstrual cup is a big decision and could be confusing.
Have you seen all the brands available in our shop and don't know how to choose it?
Do you want the best menstrual cup? There is no better cup, nor one brand that fits everyone.
The choice must be made with awareness and based on your unique anatomical characteristics and factors related to your menstrual cycle. It does not have to be done only on the basis of age or if you have had children by vaginal birth or by caesarean section, as manufacturers tend to report on the packaging.
