Abstract : Background- Menstruation affects millions of women each month all over the world. This biological action is common. The majority of girls in lower and middle-income nations struggle to adjust to their monthly period because of societal pressures and a lack of advice, despite the fact that it is the most common biological activity.  Method- A Pre-experimental research design was conducted among 50 female undergraduate students of Sharda University Greater Noida, India. The participants were recruited by adopting purposive sampling technique. Data was obtained by self-administered questionnaire technique.  Result- There was a statistically significant (p<0.001) difference found in the mean knowledge and attitude score.  Conclusion – Menstrual cups available for many years, still uses are very low. One of the main causes of poor uses is the lack of knowledge in maintaining hygiene of the cup. By providing appropriate knowledge regarding menstrual cup will help to increase the adaptability of menstrual cup without causing any harm.
