Menstrual Blood Donation for Endometriosis Research: A Cross-Sectional Survey on Women’s Willingness and Potential Barriers

An anonymous online survey in French was used to assess if endometriosis patients would be as ready as unaffected women to donate their menstrual blood for biological research on endometriosis and evaluate potential barriers to such donation. It was distributed in September 2022 by social media and two mailing lists, including a French patient organization. The questionnaire assessed participant age and brief medical history (hormonal contraception, endometriosis diagnosis, type of endometriosis), menstrual experience (menstrual blood abundance, dysmenorrhea), and whether participants would donate menstrual blood. Women who self-declared with an established endometriosis diagnosis versus no endometriosis were compared. Seven hundred seventy-eight women answered the survey. Among women with menstruation (n = 568), 78% are willing to donate menstrual blood for research. Importantly, this proportion was higher in women who declared having an established endometriosis diagnosis (83%, n = 299) compared to self-declared unaffected women (68%, n = 134, p < 0.001). The previous use of a menstrual cup and dysmenorrhea were significantly associated with the willingness to donate menstrual blood, while the use of hormonal contraception was significantly associated with an unwillingness to donate. Only the previous use of the menstrual cup had a predictive value for menstrual blood donation. No significant relationship was observed between menstrual blood donation and age, heavy menstrual bleeding and in endometriosis patients, endometriosis subtypes. In conclusion, women affected or not by endometriosis are largely willing to donate their menstrual blood for research on endometriosis, dysmenorrhea is not a barrier for donation, and women who use a menstrual cup are the more likely to donate.

Perceptions, Beliefs, and Experiences about the Menstrual Cycle and Menstruation among Young Women: A Qualitative Approach.

The experience of menstruation is often associated with negative connotations and gender stereotypes, which results in making it invisible. This research aimed to explore the perceptions, beliefs, and knowledge of young Spanish women regarding the menstrual cycle and menstruation and their impact on their lives. The study delves into their understanding, menstrual management practices, the types of menstrual products employed, and their experiences related to menstrual health. Qualitative methodology was used with discussion groups as a data collection technique. The participants comprised 45 young Spanish women, aged between 18 and 23, hailing from both rural and urban areas. The majority were university students, with some engaged in part-time work, and one participant working full-time. While many experienced menstrual pain ranging from mild to debilitating, a normalization of this pain often led them to forego seeking specialist assistance. Disposable menstrual products (DMPs) are the most used by participants, despite limited awareness of their absorption capacity. Regarding reusable menstrual products (RMPs), menstrual cup users emphasized comfort but expressed a need for proper training. Negative menstruation experiences could evoke fear and difficulties, underscoring the importance of providing comprehensive menstrual health education encompassing both theoretical and practical components.

The use of menstrual cups among visually impaired woman

This study aimed to determine whether a menstrual cup is a product that visually impaired women can use. The sample included 25 visually impaired women. They were given a menstrual cup and followed for 6 months. About 95.8% of the women were found to use the cup on each day of menstruation in the third follow-ups. The rate of the problems with placing the cup decreased from 60% in the first follow-up to 4.8% in the last follow-up. The rate of the problems with removal of the cup decreased from 40% in the first follow-up to 9.4% in the last follow-up.

Menstrual cup use and intrauterine device expulsion in a copper intrauterine device randomized trial

ObjectiveTo evaluate menstrual cup use and intrauterine device (IUD) expulsion. Study designWe performed a secondary analysis of a 3-year contraceptive efficacy trial comparing two copper 380 mm2 IUDs. Investigators randomized participants approximately 1:4 to the TCu380A or NTCu380-Mini IUD. Approximately 12 months after enrollment began, we advised participants against menstrual cup use due to observed IUD expulsions in cup users. We evaluated IUD expulsion (including spontaneous partial and complete expulsion and accidental self-removal) at 12 and 36 months. We used multivariable logistic regression to evaluate IUD expulsion by age, baseline menstrual volume, body mass index, IUD type, menstrual cup use, parity, and uterine length. ResultsThis analysis included 1046 participants (203 TCu380A and 843 NTCu380-Mini), with 879 (84.0%) nulliparas. Through 12 and 36 months, expulsion occurred in 74 (7.1%, 95% CI 5.5–8.6%) and 133 (12.7%, 95% CI 10.7–14.7%) participants, respectively. Overall, 250 (23.9%) reported menstrual cup use. More menstrual cup users than non-users experienced expulsion through 12 months (32/203 [15.8%] vs. 42/843 [5.0%]) and 36 months (58/250 [23.2%] vs. 75/796 [9.4%]). Through 36 months, NTCu380-Mini menstrual cup users had higher expulsion odds, while TCu380A cup users did not. Menstrual cup users more frequently experienced accidental self-removal than non-users in participants using the TCu380A (3/53 [5.7%] vs. 0/150 [0.0%]) and the NTCu380-Mini (20/197 [10.2%] vs. 7/646 [1.1%]). In multivariable regression, we found increased odds of expulsion through 36 months in participants using menstrual cups with the NTCu380-Mini (aOR 3.13, 95% CI 1.16–8.46) and <25 years (aOR 1.59, 95% CI 1.07–2.34). ConclusionsWe found higher odds of IUD expulsion with menstrual cup and concurrent NTCu380-Mini IUD use over 36 months of use, but not with concurrent TCu380A IUD use. Menstrual cup users experienced higher likelihood of accidental self-removal regardless of IUD type. ImplicationsMenstrual cup and NTCu380-Mini use may increase IUD expulsion risk and may increase accidental self-removal risk with TCu380A and NTCu380-Mini use. Clinicians should advise patients of these risks and consider warning patients using an IUD shaped like the NTCu380-Mini (Nova-T frames) of expulsion risk with menstrual cup use.

Perspectives on prior preparation for menstrual experience from women and female health workers in Malawi.

While studies have explored various aspects of menstruation, an evident gap remains in the literature concerning the perspectives of young women and female health workers. By shedding light on this unexplored terrain, the study provides novel insights that can inform targeted interventions and foster a more inclusive understanding of menstrual health. As such, this investigation stands at the forefront of academic endeavour in menstrual health research, making an original and valuable impact in the field. The objective of this study was to explore the experiences of reproductive-aged women during menstruation in Malawi. The specific objectives were to examine the experiences of reproductive-age women related to menstrual preparation, identify factors influencing the choice of menstrual products for women in Malawi, and identify the public health implications of menstrual products. This cross-sectional study employed qualitative research methods to explore the acceptance and implementation of menstrual cups as a feminine hygienic product for women in Malawi. The study involved focus group discussions and interviews with reproductive-age women aged 18-54 years and health providers at Bwaila and Mitundu family clinics and Lighthouse HIV management centres. Thematic content analysis was performed using NVivo 12. Ethical approval was obtained from the College of Medicine Research and Ethics Committee (P.08/21/3379). Education on menstruation is provided as early as 10 years before menarche by sisters, friends, mothers, aunties and grandmothers. Parents remain silent on menstrual issues. Commonly used menstrual products include disposable pads, cloths, reusable pads and cotton wool. While a few mentioned using tampons, pieces of blankets and flex foam, the majority demonstrated widespread ignorance about menstrual cups. Mentors or counsellors, affordability, accessibility, comfort and disposal issues influence women's choice of products being used. Parents need to break the silence on menstrual issues. Messages on menstruation and menstrual products are explicit in forming female adolescents what to expect with menarche, how to manage menses including health-related impacts, and ways of mitigating menses-related misconceptions, discrimination and stigma, and could be incorporated into the primary school curriculum. Safe menstrual products are accessible free of charge or at a subsidised cost.

Awareness and Utilization of Menstrual Cup among Adolescent Nursing Students of a Selected College.

Introduction: Menstruation is normal physiological process of a woman, during this period basic hygiene and care is most important. Most of the women use sanitary napkins and pads for maintaining menstrual hygiene, though menstrual cup is a good alternative to sanitary pads as it is reusable and environment-friendly. Awareness of nursing students about this will have significant clinical and public health implications. Hence, the current research aimed at assessing awareness and utilization of menstrual cup among adolescent nursing students.&#x0D; Methods: Analytical cross-sectional research design was conducted among 121 adolescent nursing students selected by enumerative sampling from Nepalese Army Institute of Health Sciences, College of Nursing and Nepali Army college of Health Science. Semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation was used to describe the socio-demographic characteristics and inferential statistics i.e., spearman rank correlation was used to find out the correlation between level of awareness and utilization of menstrual cup.&#x0D; Results: In this study, majority (81%) of the respondents had moderate level and only (14%) of respondents had adequate level of awareness on menstrual cup. Very few respondents (9.1%) of them had used menstrual cup. There was negligible positive correlation between level of awareness and utilization of menstrual cup (r=0.003).&#x0D; Conclusion: The findings of the study concluded that nursing students have moderate knowledge regarding menstrual cup and its usage and only very few of them are using it hence, there is a need for educational programs, campaigns and continuous monitoring to improve and reinforce the knowledge regarding menstrual cup and its usage among students as they are the one who in future will reach to serve the public and raise awareness throughout the country.&#x0D;

Utilization of modern menstrual methods and related unmet needs among college going women in Coimbatore district: a descriptive cross-sectional study

ObjectivesThe primary objectives were to determine the proportion of modern menstrual method (MMM) users among college going women in Coimbatore district, Tamil Nadu; and to estimate the unmet needs associated with use of MMMs in comparison with other menstrual hygiene methods (MHMs). We also assessed the factors that determine MMM use among college going women.MethodsThis was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted among college going women in Coimbatore district, Tamil Nadu, India between October 2022 and January 2023 using a purpose predesigned, pretested, semi-structured proforma that included validated Menstrual Practice Needs Scale (MPNS-36).ResultsOnly 1.4% of the study participants used MMMs – menstrual cups (1.3%) and tampons (0.1%). Sanitary pads were the most common MHM of choice (96.3%); of which majority (98.6%) used disposable pads and more than half (50.4%) used non-biodegradable pads. Importantly, one in six (16.5%) were not aware of nature of sanitary pads (biodegradable or nonbiodegradable) used. The unmet needs associated with MMMs (menstrual cups and tampons) were significantly lower than that for other MHMs (including sanitary pads), in particular, the unmet material and home environment needs, unmet material reliability concerns, unmet reuse needs and unmet reuse insecurity. However, we found no significant difference between MMMs, sanitary pads and other MHMs in terms of unmet transport, college environment, change and disposal insecurity needs. The significant predictors of use of MMMs were age (more than 21 years of age), residence (urban), type of stay (off campus including home), socioeconomic status (upper), fathers’ and mothers’ education (high school and above), and presence of personal income. Discussions with friends (or peers) both before and after menarche regarding menstruation resulted in higher adoption of modern menstrual methods.ConclusionMMMs provided comparative advantage with lesser unmet needs for material reliability and reuse insecurity concerns, particularly in home environment. However, none of the MHMs fulfilled the user expectations for transport and disposal insecurity concerns, particularly outdoors.

Culturally Inclusive and Gender Sensitive Menstrual Health Education: Nursing and Immigrant and Refugee Community Organizational Partnership

Background Worldwide period poverty results in gynecological infections and poor outcomes increased menorrhagia, or infections (candidiasis, bacterial vaginosis). Immigrants and refugees have minimal menstrual health education due to cultural taboos, inability to afford feminine hygiene products, and inappropriate use of menstrual reusable products or previous sanitization teachings. The Immigrant &amp; Refugee Community Organization (IRCO) needed evidence-based interventions to reduce period poverty via a culturally sensitive, and gender-affirming menstrual health hygiene program. The purpose of the menstrual health dignity scholarly project intervention was to increase knowledge, comfort, and confidence of community health staff educators (CHSEs) to provide effective client teaching Methods The Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovation Theory, Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) Model, and popular education interactive strategies guided the academic-community scholarly project partnership. Developed a cross-sectoral academic-community team partnership with CHSEs buy in; modified teaching in 2 PDSA cycles (100% attendance of at least 2 sessions); and used Power Points for lesson content, case studies, and technology to reinforce learning and menstrual cup and health brochure to increase CHSEs’ knowledge. Results Questionnaire scores showed increases of: knowledge (96% in at least 3 categories), confidence (100%) with increased capacity to provide appropriate menstrual health hygiene teaching, products, handouts, and guidance based on appropriate assessments. The results showed 92.3% overall positive comments about the menstrual health education provided including expressing enthusiasm for teaching menstrual health to all genders. Overall, 85.7% of people agreed they would use the information learned in this project for future work and found the education valuable. Conclusion The addition of menstrual health trainings with interactive popular education increased CHSEs’ knowledge, comfort, and confidence. Sustainability efforts included recorded lesson content education and encouragement to provide the menstrual cup and health brochure to refugee families upon agency admission.

A STUDY TO ASSESS THE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT MENSTRUAL CUP ITS ACCEPTIBILITY, SAFETY, LEAKEAGE AND AVAILABILITY AMONG THE TEENAGE GIRL AND THEIR MOTHER IN A PARTICULAR RURAL AREA IN BENGALURU

Background: Menstruation is also known as menses or period or monthly discharge of blood and mucosal tissue from the inner lining of uterus through vagina. The first menstrual period usually occurs between 12-15 years of age, called as Menarche. The typical length of time between the first day of one period and the first day of next period is 21-45 days in young women 21-31 days in adults (an average of 28 days). Bleeding usually lasts around 2 to 7 days.Feminine hygiene products are personal care products used during vaginal discharge, and other bodily functions related to the vulva and vagina. Products that are used during menstruation may also be called menstrual hygiene products, including menstrual pads, tampons, menstrual pads, period panties etc. Feminine hygiene products also include products meant to cleanse the vulva or vagina, such as douches, feminine wipes, and soap.Feminine hygiene products are either disposable or reusable. Sanitary napkins, tampons, and pantyliners are disposable feminine hygiene products. Menstrual cups, cloth menstrual pads,period panties, and sponges are reusable feminine hygiene products.Menstrual cup is a device made up of silicon for menstrual hygiene. Despite its being safe, eco-friendly, cheap, and durable its non-acceptability may be due to higher adoption barriers.We conducted this study to assess the acceptability and safety of menstrual cups. Methods: Post-test design and evaluative approach was adopted. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample of 60 of teenage and mothers for a period of seven days for data collection. Multiple choice questions, close ended questionnaire and planned teaching programme were used as a tool to assess the knowledge on menstrual cups. The data obtained were analysed in terms of the objectives and it was calculated and tabulated Results: The overall findings are that study shows the majority respondents 30 (76.9%) did not have knowledge regarding menstrual cup and 9 (23.1%) did have knowledge about menstrual cup. Conclusion: The study shows that the respondents had inadequate knowledge regarding menstrual cup. There is a significant increase in post-test scores after the planned teaching programme about menstrual cup and menstrual hygiene.

A DESCRIPTIVE STUDY TO ASSESS THE KNOWLEDGE AND ATTITUDE REGARDING USE OF MENSTRUAL CUP

A menstrual cup is a menstrual device which helps to maintain hygiene during menstrual cycle and it is inserted into the vagina during menstruation.The menstrual cup is a silicon product used for menstruation hygiene. Even though it is safe, environmentally friendly, affordable, and durable, its unacceptability may be related to larger adoption issues.The study is focused to assess the knowledge and Attitude regarding menstrual cups among selected female nursing students. Descriptive research methodology was adopted in this study and 150 female nursing students of Sharda University was selected in the present study. Convenience technique of sampling was adopted for the data collection.

Whereas 0 (0%) had unfavorable attitude, 49(32.7%) participants had neutral attitude and 101 (67.3%) participants had favorable attitude regarding the use of menstrual cup as a menstrual hygiene product.The uses of a menstrual cup for monthly hygiene management among chosen Sharda University college girls looks that it is acceptable and feasible, as it offers realistic, pocket friendly, and good for nature and environment. Young People, who tend to be more willing to embrace the idea of ecologically friendly items, should be addressed to encourage menstrual cup acceptance.

“I Like to Know When My Period’s Coming”: How Menstruators Use Technology to Track, Monitor, and Manage Their Menses

Managing menstruation is a global public health issue. Cultural issues such as period poverty, negative stigmas, and technological advancements are often discussed in the menstrual care space. Technologies, such as mobile apps (e.g., Flo, Glow, iPhone Health) and devices (e.g., menstrual cups, intrauterine devices), have changed how menstruators monitor and manage their menses. Little research exists on how these tools could affect university student menstruators. Virtual focus group discussions (n = 32 across five focus groups) were conducted in February 2021. Eligible participants were student-menstruators attending a large Midwestern University. Thematic analysis techniques were used for data analysis, allowing for a constant comparative approach to contextualization and theme identification. Results demonstrated that participants employed various technologies, including mobile apps, birth control methods, and reusable products, to track, predict, and manage their menstrual experiences effectively. These technologies proved instrumental in tracking symptoms, manipulating the timing of menstruation, facilitating communication with healthcare providers, and alleviating menstrual discomfort. Furthermore, participants emphasized the factors influencing their technology choices, such as menstrual cups’ economic and environmental advantages. These findings have implications for menstrual health programs, public health initiatives, and period policies, emphasizing the importance of integrating technology-driven solutions for menstrual health management. The study showcases the value of incorporating technology into education and awareness campaigns to empower individuals in managing their menstrual health and facilitating informed decisions about contraception and fertility. Furthermore, the research highlights the need for policymakers to support reusable menstrual technologies and destigmatize menstruation, ultimately contributing to gender equality and overall well-being.

Decomposing the rural–urban gap in hygienic material use during menstruation among adolescent women in India

The use of hygienic materials (sanitary napkins, locally prepared napkins, tampons, and menstrual cups) during menstruation among adolescent women in India has improved over the years, yet a significant rural–urban gap in the usage persists at the national level. This study investigates how this rural-urabn gap varies across different states and union territories (UTs) of India and uses Fairlie decomposition to quantify the contribution of various factors to this gap. The study uses data on 114,805 adolescent women (aged 15–19 years) from the fifith round of National Family Health Survey (2019–21). The utilization of hygienic materials during menstruation among adolescent women in rural India stood at 43%, whereas in urban areas, it was 68%, indicating a significant 25 percentage point (pp) difference between the two. The rural–urban gap in the hygienic material use varied significantly across Indian states and UTs. The gap exceeded 20 pp in Madhya Pradesh (36 pp), Odisha (26 pp), Jammu and Kashmir (25 pp), Assam (25 pp), Uttar Pradesh (23 pp), Jharkhand (22 pp), Chhattisgarh (21 pp), and Rajasthan (21 pp). In contrast, the gap in Tamil Nadu, Himachal Pradesh, and Telangana was less than 10 pp. The decomposition analysis of the rural–urban gap (25 pp) revealed that the variables included in the anlaysis explained about 70% of the gap. The difference in the household wealth between rural and urban areas contributed about 69% of the explained gap. Other significant contributors to the explained gap were ‘transportation to health facility’ (5.6%), ‘mass-media exposure’ (4.9%), and ‘level of education (4.4%). The findings underscore the necessity for state-specific interventions aimed at vulnerable groups, particularly individuals from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, those with lower levels of education, and limited exposure to mass media, in order to reduce the existing rural–urban disparity in hygienic material use among adolescent women.

Insight about Menstrual Cups on Student of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Health Science, Abdurrab University

Menstrual cup is a cup-shaped device used during menstruation that is made from slicone so it is environmentally friendly. Menstrual cups are still not widely accepted in the society and are less desirable than sanitary pads. This study aims to determine the description of knowledge about menstrual cups in students of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Abdurrab University in 2022. This research method is quantitative research with descriptive design. In this study using cluster random sampling technique so that the number of samples used was 260 students using a questionnaire consisting of 20 questions distributed via googleform. The results of this study showed that the knowledge of female students was in the good category of 175 people (67.3%), 76 people (29.2%) had sufficient knowledge and had less knowledge as many as 9 people (3.5%). The level of knowledge of female students of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Abdurrab University is good as many as 175 people (67.3%) and it is hoped that female students can increase their knowledge insights and appropriate and sustainable education so that fear and obstacles to using menstrual cups can be overcome.

Examining differences in menstrual and intimate care product use by race/ethnicity and education among menstruating individuals.

United States consumers spend over two billion dollars a year on intimate care products. These products, along with scented menstrual products, are marketed for odor control, perceived "freshness," and vaginal/vulvar cleanliness. However, these scent-altering products may increase exposure to carcinogenic and endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Prior research has not adequately characterized demographic differences in product use. The objective of our study is to examine racial/ethnic and educational differences in menstrual and intimate care product use among people who menstruate. We pooled data from two US-based cross sectional studies to examine demographic characteristics and product use in 661 participants aged 18-54 years. Participants reported use of scented and unscented menstrual products (tampons, sanitary pads, and menstrual cups) and intimate care products (vaginal douches, sprays, wipes, and powders). We examined differences by race/ethnicity and education using log-binomial regression and latent class analysis (LCA), which can identify groups based on product use patterns. Our sample was 33.4% Black, 30.9% Latina, 18.2% White, and 16.2% another identity. Approximately half the population had a bachelor's degree or more; 1.4% identified as transgender and 1.8% as non-binary. In adjusted models, scent-altering products (i.e., scented menstrual and intimate care products) were more likely to be used by those with less formal education (p < 0.05). Unscented menstrual products were more likely to be used by those with more formal education. Compared to Black participants, White participants were more likely to use unscented tampons and menstrual cups and less likely to use douches and wipes (p < 0.05). Using LCA we identified two groups: one more likely to use scent-altering products, and a second more likely to use unscented menstrual products. Less education and older age, but not race/ethnicity, was significantly associated with membership in the group more likely to use scent-altering products. While sex/gender composition did not statistically vary across groups, all non-binary participants fell in the unscented menstrual product group. Lower educational attainment was consistently associated with greater use of scent-altering menstrual and intimate care products. Future research should examine associations between body odor stigma, product use, and health risks at intersections of race, class, and gender.

The menstrual cup knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of Turkish women in reproductive age

ObjectiveTo evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of Turkish women of reproductive age toward menstrual cup. MethodsThis descriptive study was conducted via online platforms with 301 Turkish women between March-June 2023. The Participant Information Form was used to collect the data. A p value of <0.05 was considered. ResultsThe mean age of the participants was 26.42 ± 7.81 years. The most common used menstrual hygiene product was sanitary pad. Of the women, 72.1 % have heard of the menstrual cup before, however, only 6.6 % of the women used menstrual cups. The 42.9 % of the women who use the menstrual cup had difficulty in using it. The most common concern of women who did not use menstrual cups was that they thought they were uncomfortable and did not know how to use them. Factors such as age, marital status, place of residence, occupation, previous pregnancy and finding the menstrual hygiene product used comfortable was found statistically significantly correlated with the menstrual cup usage. ConclusionIn our study, very few of the women use menstrual cups, and nearly half of them stated that they had difficulty in using it. The participants who did not use the menstrual cup most frequently did not know how to use the cup and did not use it because they thought the cup was uncomfortable. It is essential to increase the awareness of reproductive age women about the menstrual cups.

GREEN PURCHASE INTENTION ANALYSIS FOR MENSTRUAL CUP PRODUCTS

This research discusses sustainability that impacts the environment. We as humans find it very difficult not to coexist with objects that have plastic materials. Especially for women, who use sanitary napkin products for single use and have a negative impact on the environment and for the women themselves can be attacked by diseases, Such as cancer. Menstrual Cup is a replacement product for disposable sanitary napkins that has better benefits compared to other menstrual products. However, in Indonesia itself, Menstrual Cup is still something foreign and taboo because of the way it is used and the negative stigma given to consumers. The research that has been conducted aims to determine how much influence Green Product Knowledge and Consumer Doubts have on the Green Purchase Intention of Menstrual Cup products. This research used Explanatory Research with a quantitative approach. Data was collected online using a web link from Qualtrics Survey, using a Semantic Differential scales. The questionnaire link was distributed through social media such as: Whatsapp, Instagram and so on. The number of respondents taken was 128 Gen Z female respondents who have experienced menstruation and who have never used a menstrual cup. The data was processed using Multiple Linear Regression. The research method used is quantitative research using multiple linear regression analysis. The findings of this study are that there is a positive influence of the Green Product Knowledge variable and the Consumer Doubt variable which does not have a significant effect on Green Purchase Intention. The results of this study can provide insight to companies and future researchers. It is also hoped that this research can be expanded to include and focus on single or married women, Gen Z, Gen Millennials and others. The limitation of this research is on Gen Z women in Jakarta who have never used menstrual cup products. There is not much research about menstrual cup, especially in Jakarta Indonesia.
