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
Hi Obsidian
On this site = http://sentirbem.uol.com.br/index.php?modulo=novidades_prod&id=526&tipo
There’s a nice article about the cup.
This is a news bulletin news for the feb. 25th to march 4th week.. (of 2011 i guess! lol)
And in the 2nd paragraph, it is written the sale of the cup started a little less than 3 months before.
So the Miss may have been born towards the late 2010 year (?)..
Have a nice day!
(I knew about this link thanks to the MissCup Coletor Menstrual’s page on facebook.

It was from a wall post, of February 3.
