A History of the Menstrual Cup (continued) Mary Coleman "Mon Docteur" Douche information I received these instructions, the Daintette menstrual cup and its instructions in a box with a return address of "Mrs. Mary Coleman, Middlefield, Conn." printed on a green, slightly old-fashioned label in 1998, although I believe the company failed decades before. The ghost of Dainty Maid haunts Middlefield! Douching will not be stamped out!
