Description

Menstrual Cup {MENSTRUAL CUP}

The present invention relates to a menstrual cup, and more particularly, to an insertable menstrual cup containing menstrual blood that is inserted into and discharged from a woman's vagina.

The sanitary napkins and tampons currently used by women are made of chemical paper, absorbent paper non-woven fabric, and vinyl, resulting in a huge amount of waste. This causes serious water pollution by causing waste disposal costs, pollution during disposal, and clogging of sewers and toilets. In addition, the high price of the product is a huge economic burden on households. In terms of health, although a woman's vagina must be supplied with sufficient moisture to remove dead cells or bacteria in the vagina, conventional sanitary napkins and tampons have the disadvantage of absorbing water as well as menstrual blood.

For this reason, menstrual cups made of reusable and non-toxic silicone are being used. However, the menstrual cup has a problem in that it is inconvenient to use the menstrual cup when going out because, when menstrual blood is collected in the menstrual cup, the menstrual cup is taken out of the vagina, discarded, and then the menstrual cup is re-inserted into the vagina.
