Bfree Cup—which is a Canadian health and wellness company that emphasizes sustainability and comfort—has one solution on the market. Made from 100% medical grade silicone, the Bfree Cup is an antibacterial product that offers comfortable and convenient period protection. The [reusable menstrual cup](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emm) can be worn for up to 12 hours and can hold as much as two to three tampons worth of fluid at any given time. The brand has included a "unique, nature-inspired petal above the rim" which strengthens the [leak protection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/step-one-period-underwear) of the product. Free of chemicals, the Bfree Cup can last up to 10 years which equals about 2,500 tampons.
