A menstrual cup is a small flexible cup usually made from silicone or rubber, which is folded and inserted so that it sits within your vagina, just below the cervix.
If you are used to using tampons, the cup could be a good reusable option for you.
Reusable period pads and liners work in a very similar way to single-use pads and liners, but are made from layers of cloth or flannelled material. There are different brands of pads which come in different colours, absorbencies and sizes.
Period pants are worn exactly like a normal pair of underwear but the pad is built-in. They come in a variety of sizes, absorbencies and styles to suit your needs and preferences.
