In a randomized controlled feasibility study in rural western Kenya, adolescent primary school girls were provided menstrual cups or sanitary pads over traditional menstrual care items, such as cloth or tissue.[9] Girls provided menstrual cups had a lower prevalence of sexually transmitted infections than control groups. Also, the prevalence of bacterial vaginosis was lower among cup users compared with sanitary pad users or those continuing usual practice.[9] After six months of provision, menstrual cup users were free from embarrassing leakage, odor, and could engage in class activities and sport without humiliation and being teased.[10]
