A menstrual cup is form of 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. Unlike a tampon which absorbs the blood along with the vagina’s natural secretions, a menstrual cup simply holds the fluids until you remove it – so they do not dry out the vagina and do not hold the TSS risk that tampons do.
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.
This website aims to give information on all the available reusable cups, and provide the latest news. This is a sister site to www.ecomenses.com
I was a happy Diva Cup user until I ordered the Ladycup. I had wanted a backup cup to the Diva, but the Ladycup has become my favorite. The softness of the cup itself and the soft rim are super-comfortable. The only downside is that without the gripper ridges on the bottom of the cup, it is more difficult to remove than the Diva. I still do like the Diva–never had a leak, no popping open trouble, etc. but the stiffer silicon would give me the sensation of having to pee even when my bladder was empty. I do not have this problem with the Ladycup.

I got a trial greencup earlier this year and I loved it. It split already and now I’m in the process of buying a new one on ebay. I love my divacup and it never leaks, but I loved being able to use the ladycup when my flow was lighter. It was so much easier to clean! Removal was tough though.
