Summary

This study tests whether giving menstrual cups to poor women in Kenya who trade sex for money can lower their risk of bacterial vaginosis and sexually transmitted infections. The cup may help by replacing unhygienic period materials and reducing harmful practices. About 408 women aged 15-35 will use the cup and be tracked for two years.
