Here are key factors to consider:<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>1. Material Safety<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing to consider when choosing a menstrual cup is the material. Since menstrual cups are inserted into the vagina, it\u2019s crucial to pick one that\u2019s made from high-quality, body-safe materials.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Nua\u2019s Ultra Safe Menstrual Cup<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is made from <\/span><b>platinum-grade silicone<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a medical-grade material that\u2019s cured with platinum to enhance durability and prevent discoloration over time.
