Is the microphone safety first?

Department. All menstrual cups we recommend are made from medical grade silicone, not just hypoallergenic, and never contain phthalates, toxic substances, latex, bleach, fibers, or any irritants substance. They are designed to be worn safely for a long time, and the non-porous surface of silicone is safe and hygienic, and will not breed bacteria.

Generally speaking, menstrual cups are considered safe by gynecologists and medical professionals. Because menstrual cups collect, rather than absorb, menstrual fluid, they do not cause vaginal dryness or irritation. Menstrual cups also do not affect the pH of the vagina, which greatly reduces the chance of infection.

Nevertheless, we strongly recommend that you read Part 7, as there are a few things to keep in mind before using a menstrual cup.
