Hello friends I'm Dr. Shristi Sharma and let me take you through the amazing world of Menstural cups which, trust me, will change your "those terrible 5days" to just another 5days of the month! If you want to know more then please keep reading.
I have been using Menstural cup for the last two years and I have never once went back to sanitary pads or tampons. So before going to the benefits of the menstrual cup , let me give you a slight introduction of the hero of our blog - The Menstrual cup.
What is a menstural cup?
It is a type of reusable female hygiene product. It is a small funnel shaped rubber /silicone thing which is to be inserted into the vagina to collect period fluid.
How to select a menstural cup?
Before using a menstural cup consult with a gynaecologist. Menstural cups are easily available in stores and online sites but one must keep the following things in mind before buying it.
✅ Your age.
✅ Length of your cervix.
✅ Menstural flow.
✅ Flexibility of the cup.
✅ Cup capacity.
✅ Pelvic muscle strength.
Menstural cups mainly comes in two sizes :
Small: Mainly for women below 30 years of age and who haven't had a vaginal delivery.
Large: Women above 30 years of age or who have given birth vaginally.
Now let's move on to the benefits of a menstural cup.
Benefits of a Menstrual cup :
Economic: A menstural cup if maintained properly , can last upto 5 or more years. So it's very eeconomic. Also it prevents the last moment emergency chemist visits which I think most of us girls can relate to.
No rashes: If you are like me who goes through horrible rashes thanks to the good old sanitary pads , then girl this is God sent !
Holds more liquid: Depending on your flow, you can use Menstrual cup from 6-12 hours without the need to empty it. Thus giving an additional 5 or more hours between change.
No leakage: You heard me right ! Menstural cup works on suction and hold the liquid inside it. Thus the chances of a leakage is minimal. Finally tension free days and nights !
No odour: It does not give out the nasty odour like sanitary pads.
Environment friendly : Menstural cups cause less landfill waste unlike sanitary pads or tampons so its eco friendly. Yes!
In addition to these wonderful benefits another added advantage is that using menstural cups reduces the chance of harmful toxins from the sanitary pads / tampons absorbed by the body . It also reduces the chances of TSS.
