What are menstrual cups?

Menstrual cups are the new solution for intimate care during menstruation. Menstrual cups are eco-friendly, reusable alternatives to intimate care. They are made of soft silicone and collect menstrual fluid in a cup instead of absorbing it like a tampon. Cups can be worn for up to 12 hours before being emptied, washed, and reused.

What are the benefits of using a menstrual cup?

There are many benefits to using a menstrual cup, including:

  • Eco-friendly: Menstrual cups are reusable, so they generate less waste. According to a study published in The Lancet Public Health, menstrual cups are a sustainable option that can significantly reduce the environmental impact of menstrual products.
  • Economical: Menstrual cups can be used for years, so they save money in the long run. A study by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists found that menstrual cups are cost-effective over time compared to disposable products.
  • Healthier: Menstrual cups do not contain chemicals or absorb the natural secretions which disrupt the pH, so they are less likely to cause irritation or infection. Dr. Jennifer Conti, a clinical assistant professor at Stanford University, states, “Menstrual cups are a healthier option as they do not contain the chemicals found in some tampons and pads.”
  • Comfortable: Menstrual cups are often more comfortable to wear because they do not dry out the vagina or absorb vaginal lubrication. Dr. Sherry Ross, an OB-GYN and author, mentions, “Many women find menstrual cups more comfortable than tampons because they do not cause dryness.”

What are the drawbacks of using a menstrual cup?

There are a few drawbacks to using a menstrual cup, such as difficulty in insertion and removal: some people find it difficult to insert and remove the cup. It may take a few tries to get the hang of it. Dr. Alyssa Dweck, a gynecologist and author, advises, “It can take a few cycles to get used to inserting and removing a menstrual cup, but many find it worth the effort.”

How do menstrual cups work?

Menstrual cups are inserted into the vagina like a tampon. They sit low in the vagina and collect menstrual fluid in a cup. The cup can be worn for up to 12 hours before being emptied, washed, and reused.

To insert a menstrual cup:

  1. Wash your hands with soap and water.

  2. Fold the cup in half or thirds.

  3. Insert the cup into the vagina, pointing it towards your tailbone.

  4. Push the cup up until it is snug against your cervix.

  5. Release the cup to allow it to open and create a seal.

To remove a menstrual cup:

  1. Wash your hands with soap and water.

  2. Insert your fingers into the vagina and locate the base of the cup.

  3. Pinch the base of the cup to break the seal.

  4. Gently twist the cup as you pull it down and out of the vagina.

  5. Empty the contents of the cup into the toilet and rinse the cup with water.

  6. Wash your hands with soap and water.

  7. Reinsert the cup or store it in a clean, dry place.

How safe are menstrual cups?

Menstrual cups are safe to use. They do not increase the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) and can be worn for up to 12 hours. Also, you can wear a menstrual cup if you have an IUD. The cup will not interfere with the IUD if used properly nor increase the risk of TSS. However, it is important to wash your hands before and after insertion, and empty and wash the cup regularly to prevent infections. Dr. Tania Adib, a consultant gynecologist, confirms, “When used correctly, menstrual cups are a safe and effective option for menstrual care.”
