A TikTok video has gone viral showing a man taking a shot from a menstrual cup in a video seen more than 19 million times. It's garnering a lot of attention online from viewers.
The video was shared to TikTok by user @whateverblablabla or Amanda Skyrius. The short five-second clip is captioned, "But hey, it ain't stupid if it works #trending #fyp #viral #husband #menstrualcup #rihanna #youlooksodumbrigtnow."
A menstrual cup is a feminine hygiene product that can be reused, according to Healthline. It's a flexible cup inserted into a vagina to catch menstruation.
With music playing in the background, the TikToker peeked behind a wall showing their husband pouring a shot of what appeared to be alcohol into a menstrual cup. The man then took the shot, nodding his head ever so slightly. The words "That's not a shot glass," appeared on the screen as well.
There is also a follow-up video in response to someone requesting an update on the situation. It showed menstrual cups picked up in the mail, cleaned, and shot glasses replaced by menstrual cups. There is also a clip of Jack Daniels being poured in the cups as the couple cheers at the end.
According to Statista, the market value of menstrual cups in the world in 2018 was estimated at $1.2 billion. That number is expected to increase to $1.89 billion by 2026.
The viral video has been liked 1.5 million times with more than 37,000 comments. Some viewers had jokes, while others were grossed out or shocked.
"Please say that wasn't used," a TikToker inquired, to which the creator said, "It might or might not have been."
The jokes came rolling in on the video. "Leave the man alone, he's a diva," a user said.
Some were shocked by what they saw. "The way I gasped," a TikToker exclaimed.
Another TikTok user simply said they were "upset," in the comments.
While one thought it's OK that the man doesn't know what he's drinking out of. "What he doesn't know won't hurt him," they said.
"I feel sick," someone else reported.
One viewer said they showed the content to their partner, "and he just said, 'Oh no...' under his breath."
Another TikToker thought "everything is a shot glass" if "it can hold liquor."
Some mentioned that the man "drinking shots alone in the kitchen, always a good sign."
A TikTok user seemingly defended the man in the clip. "It's technically a cup," they said.
Some brought up how sanitary the cup is. "Well at least it's sanitized," a TikToker joked.
