Up to 12 hours of no leakage, sustainably, and much healthier than tampons! – These are just a few of the benefits of menstrual cups. Read here why getting a cup is not only financially beneficial.
Benefits Menstrual Cups
#1 You can put it in even before your period starts
One benefit of a menstrual cup is you can put it in even before your period starts. If you use a menstrual calendar that calculates your period, or if you feel that you are getting your period, you can put your cup in before your period starts. Since the menstrual cup, unlike tampons, does not absorb liquid, it does not upset the PH level of the vagina. This helps to avoid stains on your underwear and clothes.
#2 Menstrual cups do not dry out the body
As mentioned above, the cup does not absorb liquids but collects them in the cup. Most cups are made of medical silicone, which prevents drying out. This is a huge benefit of a menstrual cup because the vaginal flora is very sensitive.
This model is especially good for beginners.
#3 It can be leak-proof for up to 12 hours
Another great benefit of menstrual cups is that they can be leakproof for up to twelve hours! The volume varies from 15 ml to 30 ml. In comparison, a normal tampon can only hold around 9 ml.
#4 You can use it for YEARS
Even though some companies recommend replacing your menstrual cup every year, with proper care, you can use your cup for decades. This makes menstrual cups a lot cheaper than disposable period products.
#5 They are environmentally friendly
Because menstrual cups are reusable and can be used for years, menstrual cups create less waste than disposable period products.
Fact: Menstrual cups are used to combat “period poverty” because they are reusable and last for years.
Downsides of menstrual cups:
Even though period cups have great benefits, as with everything in life, they also have some cons.
- It can be difficult to use at first, but with practice and proper folding technique, insertion should be as easy as tampons.
- Some do not want to come into contact with their period blood so directly
The benefits of menstrual cups are almost unbeatable compared to tampons, pads, etc. The other blog posts will give you a deeper insight into lifestyle, fitness, and fashion!
