5 Benefits Of Using Menstrual Cups

Periods are a phenomenon that every girl suffers through and wishes never existed. And we have many things that help us during these trying times. Even though the market has sanitary napkins and tampons available to help us out in this monthly (frustrating) phenomenon, a menstrual cup is something unconventional, new in the market and is the only feminine hygiene product that can be reused.

A menstrual cup is a small, flexible cup made of latex rubber or silicone. It is inserted in the vagina, which is pretty easy to do, and it collects the menstrual blood instead of absorbing it. The cup for menstrual periods springs open inside your vagina, making the blood drip into the cup and preventing leak stains. Most of the menstruation cups are reusable. In case it is re-usable, you just need to empty the blood, wash it and insert it again. It’s that simple, and totally painless.

* Economic Benefits

Because a menstrual cup will last you forever, you’ll save a lot of money. Imagine the things you could buy if you saved up the hundreds of rupees you spent on pads!

* Save Time

You won’t need to change your cup after every few hours like a pad or tampon. You can use the cup for up to 12 hours.

* For All Types Of Flows

A menstrual cup holds almost five times the amount of liquid than a tampon, so it’s helpful for women with a heavy flow.

* Hygienic And Healthy

Menstrual cups do not contain additives unlike tampons and sanitary pads.

* Prevents Staining

As soon as you insert the cup in your vagina, it opens up to create a kind of suction. This leads to the blood dripping directly into the cup and nowhere outside it!
