Menstrual cup is a silicon cup which is a cheap, easy and natural alternative to means of protection during menstruation used nowadays. One menstrual cup, if used correctly, may last for 10 years!
Why a menstrual cup?
Comfortable.
After a short period of adaptation, you forget that you are even using a cup. You can use the cup up to 10 hours - longer than any sanitary napkin or tampon.
Imperceptible.
The menstrual cup can be used imperceptibly at any time. You can swim, go to the gym, or sleep naked like you would any other time.
Economical.
The menstrual cup is a durable, one-time-purchase, and doesn't continuously require replenishment of your stock of tampons and sanitary napkins.
Hygienic.
The menstrual cup is a more hygienic option than the tampon. It won't dry mucous membranes, or cause irritation or itchiness.
Cleanliness.
The cup is tidy to handle, and a bathroom's trashcan won't fill quickly with used sanitary napkins. Using the menstrual cup gets rid of a tremendous amount of waste.
Ecological.
The time of "disposable culture" is perhaps not over yet, but we are a step closer. Luckily!
Did it really take so long to invent?
Not at all. It was already invented decades ago. In the meantime, it became common to glorify disposable products. Then we realized that rubbish won't disappear from the world when it is put in a waste container. Now people are beginning to get back to more rational solutions, without roughing it.
