SELENACARE menstrual cups, made with high quality medical grade silicone are soft and flexible. Unlike tampons & pads, menstrual cups collect rather than absorb menstrual fluid. Once folded and inserted into the vagina, it comfortably adjusts to the vaginal walls. Remove and rinse up to 8 hours at the latest and reinsert. SELENACARE menstrual cups provide discrete protection, lasting for several years with proper care.
