What are menstrual cups?
The menstrual cup, also known as a period cup or vaginal cup, is a medical silicone container that is inserted inside the vagina (like a tampon) during menstruation, adapting to the vaginal walls at all times regardless of the movement we make, and collects all the flow inside the cup. You can wear the cup up to 12 hours inside without having to worry (depending on the flow you have). And it has an unlimited use, since you can take it off and put it on as many times as you want.
The menstrual cup is an article of intimate hygiene, in the form of a cup, which are introduced into the vagina of women and collect the menstrual flow that is released on the days of menstruation. It is an alternative method to pads and tampons, so annoying many times, and are a safe and painless method to collect the blood that comes out of our uterus, so that it does not protrude and can cause stains on our clothes.
It is used daily during the entire cycle. Yes, yes ALL the cycle, so you can use it at night without problems, you can sleep peacefully and placidly.
Then, just sterilize it with boiling water and keep it in its cotton bag until your next menstruation.
With it, you eliminate tampons, pads, panty liners, odors, stains, leaks, worries… for life.
What are menstrual cups made of?
Menstrual cups are made of medical silicone or TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), depending on the brand. And that color they have? Don't worry, it's food coloring, harmless to the human body. They are made with all women in mind, both for those who have allergies and those who do not. So they are suitable for everyone 🙂 because no chemical additive is used that can affect the woman's body. No bacteria can remain on its totally smooth surface, which does not absorb any liquid, and therefore no alterations occur in the natural vaginal environment. Being made of medical silicone or TPE, it does not scratch or dry the vaginal walls and does not leave traces of fibers (unlike traditional tampons). The material is flexible, which makes it adapt perfectly to the inside of your body. Although you should take into account some characteristics when purchasing yours, you can rest assured; you won't even notice you're wearing it.
How long can menstrual cups last?
Their lifespan is up to 15 years with proper maintenance. Y… Did you know that in about 4 months you get a return on your investment?
Are they aludable?
Menstrual cups are 100% hypoallergenic, completely free of chemical additives and harmful products that can affect the body.
The menstrual cups do not dry the vaginal walls, do not scratch and do not leave traces of fibers, since, unlike other conventional methods, the cup collects the flow instead of absorbing it as tampons do. Therefore, it does not alter the natural vaginal environment.
By buying the menstrual cup and leaving aside the other more known methods you are improving your health, your environment, your world and also…. Your pocket!
