HIVETTE MENSTRUAL CUP

The Hivette is a menstrual cup. Menstrual cup is a reusable device for menstrual fluid collection. The Hivette is the first Malaysian menstrual cup and was introduced at the beginning of 2019. It is an environmentally-friendly alternative to pads and tampons as it collect the menstrual fluid instead of absorbing it like tampons and pads did. This will eventually reduce the risk of getting Toxic Shock Syndrome. (Which is great, right?)

Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is very common in woman with absorbent pads/tampons due to overgrowth of bacteria. Want to know more about TSS? We got you! More about TSS in WebMD
