What are the pros and cons of using a period cup?
#shorts #nutshell #menstrualcup

So, the conclusion is - 'No Cons '.
This is the second day I'm using it and believe me, if you're still using pads and tampons, you're in loss.

[sampajanna]

Girls, if you shift to cup; you will never revert back to pads. Cups feel so great.
I’m even repulsive at the idea of looking at the stained napkin.
We need to look at it while we use restroom, shower, cannot swim and odour. Pricing and sudden flow issues. Sleep issues, environmental issues-
All will disappear once you find the right fit and that’s it. Life will be so so so easier and you will be ever grateful for trying it.

Menstrual cup is such a great blessing for women.

Cons are not cons, just needs practice and hygiene consistency

[sajidakadar]

I have used almost every type of period protection, from cloth to pad to tampons and cup. Pad was the worst experience which always caused rashes, cloth was ok but too much work while washing, tampon was best until I used cup. Only problem with tampon was insertion became difficult after second day as it would absorb all the moisture from the vaginal lining. Cups are the best. I have been using it for over 3 years and it doesn't require sterilization every time you take out. but I do rinse it with hand wash liquid every time i took it out to discard the blood. If anyone worries it would damage something inside, please rest assured, such things are only your delusion. And never bother what others would think.

Yes, rashes from pad and the smell is a concern. Yet after trying cup for 5 months I came back to pads due to these resons:
* Ppl like me who have very painful periods find it difficult to open and spread the legs wide enough to insert the cup.
* For insertion you have to stoop or sit which becomes a problem with small or unhygienic or wet toilets. Also the kind of clothes you are wearing might make it more difficult
* Takes a lot of time for insertion and removal. Long queues in public toilets during a short break makes it stressful and therefore insertion and removal becomes more difficult due to muscle tightening.
* Need for repeated washing of hands and the cup. Availability of clean dry toilets with well fitted taps and enough clean water supply is a must.
* Keeping track of the time of insertion is a hassle esp when travelling.
* You can change a pad even in a not so clean environment but for cups you need to have a plan to access soap and water for removal and reinsertion.
* Need for sterilisation and great hygiene, chances of getting messy etc.
* Ppl who often get diarrohea during periods find it difficukt to poop because the cup tends to move downwards during each poop

I will try using menstrual cup whenever it's possible. Tbh I'm scared of them hurting me😅

[surbhikumbhare]

on first 2-3 day u need to empty it every 4-5 hr otherwise it will leak when cup is full .

I've been using the menstrual cup since 2016, never going back to pads or anything else

[StudyTanvi]

Use menstrual cups
It may be a little scary and painful but it's worth it
It took me 2 cycles to get used to it
At first time it was a bit painful inserting and so I gave up
During the next cycle, I tried inserting it again by the 'punch down fold' instead of the 'C-fold'
It was a little painful inserting but I was successful
I was even successful in removing it
I have decided to use then for the rest of my life
And the best thing is that I am only 14 years old
No need to fear
You can do it🎉😊

Pad is best the always in my case..Kuch v ho jae.. because I face problem during insertion and sterilisation process ..also it is messy sometimes..

[jamssnana]

Who uses a pad for 6 to 8 hours??? I don't have periods any more, but when I did I had to change my pads about every 3 hours. If I waited 8 hours, my pants would look like a crime scene!!

[sanyuktaparab]

I thought that removing the cup would be bt for the 1st time on the 1st day the cup was full ( i use stonesoup's mentrual cup which has 23 ml of capacity and around 21 ml was full) and not a single drop leaked out of the cup while removing.. its not watery right..?! So it doesnt spell off...
Girls who want to switch or r worried to use it.. lemme tell that I'm 16 years and i love it.. like everyone says that its the best decision of the life.. it's soo true.. I'm soo happy to switch from pads to menstrual cup soo soon... and now I'm quite interested in menstrual discs....

[Bridgetl-_-l]

You don't have to boil it on every insertion and removal just boil it before period and after period

[bong.celebrity]

So basically there are no cons as such

[alexii]

I'm just uncomfortable putting things inside me

[anuradhaupadhyay]

best decision I've ever made in my life menstrual cup jinda baad😅💜no pads

[ankitakatkar]

I dnt think that there are any cons for menstrual cup... It's the best product for periods just bz of this cup I didn't feel like I'm sick or I'm on periods or there is no tension about periods... U wl feel free... U can play, you can swim, you can go wherever you want, u cnt even feel that something is in body it's so comfortable that u wl forget tht u r on ur periods, even in travelling its like blessing to hv periods with cup but when it comes to pads I feel horrible they r more messy, irritable, if someone is thinking to use menstrual cup plz go for it I kw u wl hv some questions about lots of things just dnt wry it's really very nice thing just watch some videos of using it thn try it... Aftr using it u wl feel like that u hv got treasure.. It's the best thing for periods. Personally I dnt think there are any disadvantages of cup👍

[akshitaakshita]

Its difficult to sterilise or clean when traveling. Public toilets always have basins outside so you can't take it out wash it in basin and put it in. Cons are a big challenge.

[annemettefrederiksen]

Faster to use a pad if in a hurry, easier to change descretly.. Not so much the cup..
