The rulesThis is the place to ask all your menstrual cup related questions, post any news and developments, and chat about your experiences. |
Commercial sellersIf you are a commercial seller of any kind, please respect the fact that this is primarily a space for cup users to talk amongst themselves, not a marketing venue. You are welcome to post here to tell us about your new shop or product, and to participate as a community member answering questions and helping out, but you must always be open about who you are and post as yourself. A good way to do that is to make it clear in your livejournal userinfo. |

What are menstrual cups?Menstrual cups are worn internally, holding (instead of absorbing) monthly flow. There are several types of reusable cups available, and they are bell-shaped and worn low in the vagina. The Divacup, the Mooncup, the Lunette, the Miacup, the Femmecup, the Ladycup, and the Keeper Moon Cup are made of medical grade silicone. The original Keeper is made of natural gum rubber (latex). There is also a disposable cup, called the Instead, which is shaped more like a diaphragm and worn higher up. The Ladycup is available in a variety of colours. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Photo courtesy of |
