Study shows menstrual cups are a safe option for menstruation management

A scientific review of menstrual cups suggests they are safe and may be as effective as other sanitary products for menstruation management. Preliminary evidence also suggests there are cost and waste savings associated with using these products. The review and meta-analysis of the international use of menstrual cups included 43 studies and data from 3,300 women and girls and was published in The Lancet Public Health journal.
