Sensual Cosmetics are distributing worldwide the Menstrual Cups made in Germany.

A menstrual cup is a reusable menstrual protection. It is inserted into the vagina to collect menstrual fluids. Once in place it forms a seal, preventing blood flowing out of the vagina by collecting it in its “cup” shaped reservoir. They hold around 20-30ml, which is for most women will cope with a full day without emptying, and at most perhaps you would need to empty it a few times a day for a very heavy flow. A menstrual cup will last (with proper care) for around 10 years, perhaps longer, so while the initial outlay is high, it pays for itself with savings pretty quick. in 4-5 month compared to tampones.

A study was made at the university of British Columbia (Canada) in order to determine whether menstrual cups are a viable alternative to tampons. A total of 110 women aged 19 to 40 years who had previously used tampons as their main method of menstrual management.

Conclusions:

Menstrual cups are a satisfactory alternative to tampons and have the potential to be a sustainable solution to menstrual management, with moderate cost savings and much-reduced environmental effects compared with tampons.
