Menstrual cups are exactly what the name implies: small cups that are placed inside the vagina to collect menstrual blood. Women all over the world are giving up tampons in favor of these cups during periods. If you have been skeptical about using them, then here are some things you should know.
They don't break your budget: Unlike menstrual pads or tampons, cups are not purchased every month. You will save a lot of money.
They are environmentally friendly: Unlike other products, menstrual cups can last up to 4 years, which means much less waste.
You can buy them in different sizes: There are different versions: for women under 30 who have not given birth and for those over 30.
With practice you will get better: Removing or installing them is not difficult. It seems awkward at first, but you'll get used to it. You won't feel like you have something inside your body.
They are not dangerous: The risk of infection or "shock" is small because menstrual cups are generally made of silicone or rubber and are not absorbent like tampons. However, this does not give you the right to leave it longer than necessary.
Easy to clean: You should make sure to clean the cup properly every 8-12 hours. Use soap without oil or perfume content and at the end of the cycle, it is suggested to leave it for 5-10 minutes in boiling water.
