Background: Menstrual cups (MCs) are a more modern alternative to sanitary napkins. High quality medical grade (biodegradable) silicone products have the advantage of being reusable, with a potential lifespan of up to 10 years. The purpose of this study was to investigate the awareness of menstrual cups among female social work students at Christ University (autonomous region), Irinjalakuda, Kerala. Although many participants were aware of the use of MC, it is not yet widely accepted. Menstrual cup awareness among social work students could be improved, as there is room for improvement in people's knowledge about menstrual hygiene and overcoming social taboos and hesitations. This can be achieved by addressing fear factors and carrying out more awareness campaigns by voluntary organizations and government departments. Research Methodology: This study was conducted among female social work students of Christ University (self-governing college), Irinjalakuda, Kerala. The sampling technique used in this study is probability sampling. The sampling method used in this study was simple random sampling. The sample included 60 female social worker students. Instruments of Data Collection: The study will carry out data collection using an independently designed questionnaire and interview method. Results: In this study, (68%) of the respondents had high menstrual cup awareness among female social work students and (20%) of respondents had moderate menstrual cup awareness among female social work students. (12%) of respondents indicated that awareness of menstrual cups is low among social work students.
