Üreme çağındaki kadınlar her ay
periyodik olarak, vajinal kanamanın görüldüğü ve 3-5 günlük zaman dilimini
kapsayan menstrüel dönemi yaşamaktadırlar. Kadın sağlığı açısından her ay
yaşanılan bu dönemlerde gerekli hijyenin sağlanması son derece önemlidir.
Menstrüel hijyen yönetiminin yeterince sağlanamaması kadınların fiziksel olduğu
kadar ruhsal ve sosyal sağlıklarını da olumsuz etkilemektedir. Bu nedenle
menstrüel hijyen yönetiminde kanın toplanması için kullanılan yöntemler,
kadınlara sağladığı hijyen ve konfor gibi özellikler açısından
değerlendirilmelidir. Menstrüel hijyen yönetiminin sürdürülmesinde etkin bir
role sahip bu yöntemlerden bazıları, evde kullanılan kumaşlardan hazırlanan
bezler, tek kullanımlık pedler ve tamponlardır. Bunların dışında günümüzde
dünyanın birçok yerinde yaygın olarak kullanılan ve uzun bir geçmişe sahip olan
ancak Türkiye’de çok az bilinen ve nadir uygulanan diğer bir yöntem ise
menstrüel kaptır. Bu doğrultuda derlemede Türkiye’de oldukça az bilinen ve
uygulanan menstrüel kabın yapısı, nasıl kullanıldığı, dünden bugüne kullanım
durumu ve bu konuyla ilgili yapılan çalışmalar ile menstrüel kabın avantaj ve
dezavantajları ele alınmıştır.
