Learn The Benefits Of Using Menstrual Cups

By Amy Thomas


For many years now, women have been using pads or tampons to collect blood and protect their clothing during their monthly periods. However, there is another more reliable way that keep a woman clean and comfortable. This is by using menstrual cups. This cup is used similarly to a tampon but collects the blood rather than absorbing it. This cup can be long-lasting and reusable, but others could be disposable.

The menstrual cup generally is flexible because of the silicon or latex rubber make. The cup is usable throughout a cycle even though there is need for frequent changing especially during heavy-flow days to prevent leakages. The cup has to be removed within 12 hours if there are leakages. Once a monthly period is finished, the non-disposable cup is sterilized in order to be used during the following monthly cycle.

Some huge gains can be attributed to a menstrual cup. To begin with, they present more convenience as compared to conventional tampons and pads. This is for the reason that a cup may be worn during the night and not distress about changing it, and may be over a long duration of close to 12 hours without draining as opposed to the pads and tampons. Additionally, they offer convenience to individuals with flows that are heavy as well as individuals who want to travel for it is easily packed.

The cup offers health benefits as compared to the disposable sanitary products. This is because the cup does not have harmful substances like fragrances and chlorine. They are also non-allergenic and suitable for individuals with sensitive skin, latex allergies, and dermatitis. Again, they do not have absorption agents thereby preventing vaginal dryness, and are easy to clean and disinfect.

A menstrual cup is usually economical and promotes green environment. This is for the reason that they have a design that enables them to last for years and this lowers their costs in the end, as one need not to keep purchasing new ones like in other sanitary items. Additionally, because they are reusable they generate less waste and this promotes a tidy environment.

They also hold more fluid in comparison to the rest of the sanitary items. Normal pads hold about six to nine grams as opposed to the cup that hold close to five times that quantity. People having heavy flows therefore prefer them.

How the menstrual cup works is not usually complicated. Just before the period begin, fold the cup and insert it similar to a tampon without an applicator. When inserted correctly, you should not feel it. This is similar to putting a birth control ring or a diaphragm in place.

Once inserted, it open up and rests on the vaginal walls even though it may first be rotated, and forms some seal so that it prevent any leakages. In removal of the cup, one simply pulls the sticking-out stem at its bottom, then pinching the base, the seal is released. If a cup can be reusable, it is emptied and washed in water with soap. A non-reusable cup however is simply disposed and replaced with a new one.
