A hemispherical receptacle made of compressible material for menstrual fluid collection is disclosed herein. In a preferred method the receptacle is compressed during insertion. The receptacle further has a resilience for restoring to its original shape after being inserted into the vagina. To facilitate removal, the receptacle includes a pulling ring at a lower end thereof and a unique flange lid portion is included at an open upper end acting as a funnel to direct the menstrual blood into the receptacle. This unique flange portion is designed with a living hinge that transfers the device from a closed to an open position. In the closed position, the flange portion allows blood to get into the receptacle while preventing it from spilling out. The open position herein is for emptying and cleaning the receptacle.
