1. Avoid Dryness

Menstrual cups collect the menstrual fluid instead of absorbing it, therefore, it does not dry you out or interfere with your vaginal flora. It is made of 100% medical grade silicone, the healthiest product material available today, making it hypoallergenic and contains no harmful additives, latex or rubber. Ā 

2. No toxins, perfumes, or bleaches

A menstrual cupĀ is inserted like a tampon, but unlike pads and tampons, it is free from toxins, perfumes and bleaches and leaves no fiber residues in the vagina. This drastically decreases the risk of getting bacterial or yeast infections and rashes.

3. High Capacity

Menstrual cups beat both tampons and menstrual pads, holding 3 times what a tampon can keep. You can wear it for up to 8 hours.Ā This makes it an especially great solution for women with heavy periods or long and busy days.Ā Find outĀ more about using Ruby Cup on the go.
