The training covers the benefits of using a non-disposable menstrual cup, what cup size is appropriate for you, and common barriers and solutions to menstrual cup use. Those who successfully complete the training module will be asked identification questions (e.g. your name, WVU email) to help verify who is eligible for a free cup.
Where do I pick up my free cup?
Menstrual cups may be redeemed on any Tuesday or Thursday between the hours of 11am and 4pm at the WRC Office in Field Hall room 3217.
Spring 2025 term: January 15 - April 29, 2025
