Menstrual Cup Comparison Australia
A menstrual cup is a small flexible cup which folded and inserted into the vagina where it opens and creates a seal with the vaginal walls. Rather than absorbing menstrual flow like a tampon, it collects the menstrual flow and then is washed out and then reinserted.
