Abstract: A menstrual cup comprising a hollow body including an upper opening defined by a rounded peripheral rim; a hollow cylindrical portion of smaller diameter than the peripheral rim, the hollow cylindrical portion being connected to a lower hollow portion of smaller diameter and decreasing cross-section, which is closed at the base thereof and extends into a grip extension. The lower portion and the grip extension are provided with peripheral ribs. The cylindrical portion comprises small holes through which air can pass into the body, preventing the creation of a vacuum therein. The cross-section of the aforementioned holes decreases towards the exterior of the hollow body. The grip extension of the cup includes a hollow cylindrical segment that terminates internally in a hollow head provided with an end opening.
