A menstrual sponge is a yellow sponge available in both round and oval shapes, with various sizes to choose from based on an individual’s menstrual flow. There are two types of menstrual sponges: natural sponges, which are darker in color and have more porous structures,<\/span><\/p>\n
and synthetic sponges made from\u00a0polyurethane (PU)<\/a><\/span>, known for their excellent absorbency. These sponges are inserted into the vagina to absorb menstrual blood, serving as an alternative to sanitary pads or tampons. After use, you can remove the menstrual sponge yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n
