Menstrual cups are increasingly replacing pads, but they still face challenges in becoming everyday tools. A common issue is their placement in the vagina, and while applicators have been created, many users still struggle. Additionally, the folding methods don’t make the cups small enough, leading to hesitation in use due to their size.

Inspired by the morning glory flower, which opens easily by twisting its petals, a better menstrual cup design could allow for easier insertion and compactness, either through an applicator or by simply rotating it.
