A menstrual cup collects menstrual fluid, instead of absorbing it like a tampon, and is cleaned and reused, with the cup able to last as long as ten years. Menstrual cups have been shown to leak less on average, and they are very comfortable to wear.

Why is my menstrual cup not working even though it's definitely open?

Menstrual cups work by collecting the menstrual flow before it leaves your body, there are many reasons why a menstrual cup may not use even when open. One of the main causes of leaking even when the cup is open is due to positioning, it needs to be sitting directly under your cervix so as the blood leaves the cervix it goes into the cup, otherwise if the cup is to the side of the cervix blood may bypass the cup. It's also important to have a seal between the cup and vaginal walls, being open doesn't necessarily mean that the seal is created, try turning the cup to ensure the seal.
