The stem is used for insertion and removal, and the bell-shaped cup seals against the vaginal wall just below the cervix and collects menstrual fluid. This is unlike tampons and menstrual pads, which absorb the fluid instead.Elizabeth Gunther Stewart, Paula Spencer: ''The V Book: A Doctor's Guide to Complete Vulvovaginal Health'', Bantam Books, 2002, Seiten 96 und 97, . Every 4–12 hours (depending on the amount of flow), the cup is removed, emptied, rinsed, and reinserted. After each period, the cup requires cleaning. One cup may be reusable for up to 10 years, making their long-term cost lower than that of disposable tampons or p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
