1. Why are women less likely to use it?
- The influence of prejudice on menstrual cup use. The truth is that using a menstrual cup requires certain skills. It’s like riding a bicycle – once will be enough to understand it. Once you learn how to do it, you’ll be surprised how easy it is.
- Opposition from manufacturers of disposable pads and tampons. The popularity of reusable feminine hygiene products is not profitable for them because they really threaten their income. For this reason, they are against product in every possible way, spreading, above all, misinformation about them through the media and medical institutions.

2. Clinical studies. Efficiency is confirmed by the numbers:
- The study involved 520 female volunteers aged 18-55
- These women used product for three menstrual cycles. Between periods, they are examined and studied.
- Pelvic examination (colposcopy and colposcopy) was performed six months after the study and revealed no pathological changes.
- Most study participants noted an improvement in their general health (disappearance of vaginal yeast infections and allergies) and their psychological well-being associated with insecurity about the reliability of the tests. intimate hygiene products.
- Only 11 out of 520 women (2%) noticed discomfort when using product.
3. Women’s opinions
- Lucy – 32 years old: I’ve been using product for over 5 years and only leaked once or twice, but it’s not that bad. In my opinion, this cup is a real salvation. It doesn’t cause discomfort or odors – you forget you got your period! You can do whatever you want. Of course, there may be some difficulties when traveling, but you adapt easily. Under no circumstances would I exchange it for pads or tampons!
- Irene – 27 years old: Menstrual Cup offer much better leak protection than very large, skateboard-like pads and very thick, log-like tampons. I encourage that.
- Sofia – 25 years old: I’ve been using it for a year and I’m very happy. I change it twice a day – in the morning and in the evening at home. Cups last much longer than tampons and pads.
4. Why is it better than other feminine hygiene products?
- Inexpensive: You don’t need to change your menstrual cup often. It can last up to ten years if it is cared for properly. You can save money on tampons or pads each month.
- Easy to use: The menstrual cup fits tightly to the vaginal walls, does not slip and does not cause leakage. You can play volleyball, tennis, swim, or exercise safely.
- Comfortable: Unlike pads and tampons, menstrual cups allow you to wear whatever you want, even white underwear. They can be used even when completely naked.
- Safe: No cases of toxic shock syndrome have been detected when using menstrual cups.
- It does not smell: Unlike the fibrous materials of tampons and pads, medical silicone does not contribute to the development of bacterial microflora, a source of unpleasant odors.
- Hygienic: When using a menstrual cup during the period, women are 8 times less likely to get infections or inflammation than with normal hygiene products.
* Buffers
- Rayon and synthetic fibers in tampons are a favorable environment for the growth of staphylococcus aureus, a bacterium that causes toxic shock syndrome.
- Together with blood, tampons absorb the substrates necessary for the development of lactobacilli, a necessary component to establish and maintain a healthy vaginal environment.
- Despite their ease of use, tampons are an ideal environment for bacteria to breed, as there are no air access restrictions.
* Compresses
- The menstrual flow creates a favorable microenvironment for the reproduction of pathogenic bacteria. Rapid bacterial growth is detected 15 minutes after the blood reaches the pad.
- In addition, the gel granules contained in the compresses can harm health by reacting with vaginal secretions.
- Compresses impregnated with fragrances and moisturizers can cause allergic reactions (itching, burning).
* Menstrual cups
- Due to a good suction seal, an airtight environment is created inside the menstrual cup. This happens because menstrual flow cannot react with oxygen.
- Menstrual cups are made of medical silicone that prevents the formation of a bacterial environment. Also, this material does not cause any harm to the human body.
5. This horrible story happened to Miranda B., a sales consultant
- The girl forgot to take off her tampon before sleeping and stayed inside for 12 hours straight.
- In the morning, Miranda felt bad. At first, she felt fatigued and a dull ache all over her body. Then a rash appeared on her legs and around her genitals. In the end, the girl remembered that she needed to remove the tampon. By then, it had turned black and had a foul stench. An hour later, Miranda felt much worse: nausea, constant vomiting, severe headache, and dizziness.
- These symptoms cannot be confused with a cold or poisoning. Few people know that this is the expression of OSH.
- Soon after, Miranda lost consciousness and her boyfriend called an ambulance. The girl was taken to the hospital, and the doctors spent the night fighting for her life. He survived, but lost both legs. The infection spread from the genitals too quickly, and doctors were unable to stop the spread and had to amputate them.
- This story once again shows that feminine hygiene products can cause irreparable harm to health. And not just tampons.
- The compresses are a veritable paradise for bacteria. By creating a greenhouse effect, bacteria begin to actively multiply, and their proximity to the genitals immediately allows them to easily enter the body.
- This causes a variety of illnesses, from candida infections to appendicitis and pyelonephritis.
- All of this begs the question – is it possible to avoid pads and tampons during menstruation? Yes of course! It is for this purpose that MENSTRUAL CUP was developed.
