FUN FACTORY is a leading brand in the world of creating devices and accessories that are used on the sexual organs, for pleasure or for the practicality of such products and under products for aiding women in making life easier is the production of the FUN CUP. The FUN CUP is an ergonomically designed menstrual cup made to satisfy the needs of a lot of women during their menstrual period. Made with medical grade soft and flexible silicon, this menstrual cup is designed to fit properly and sit comfortably to suit the size of the woman’s vaginal canal.
Menstrual cups are new inventions designed to provide a more comfortable means for women during the menstrual period. Unlike menstrual pads and tampons, which absorb the blood, during menstruation, you put the menstrual cup into the vagina as a menstrual hygiene item, and it holds in all the fluid that were supposed to come out. It is intended to gather menstrual fluid which, is made up of blood from the uterine lining mixed with other fluids accompanying it. Typically, the menstrual cup is made with flexible medical-grade silicone, latex, or a thermoplastic isomer, there would be a stem or ring and these devices are usually bell-shaped, I guess the reason for this shape can be guessed, but to be more explicit, the bell-shaped cup seals on the vaginal wall immediately below the cervix and collects menstrual fluid just as it is leaving the uterus, preventing the menstrual fluid from coming all the way down to the vagina. The stem of these cups is used for insertion and removal of the menstrual cup.
