🌚 Menstrual Cup Pros & Cons 🥀

Pros & Cons of the Menstrual Cup. Menstrual cups, as long as you put them in correctly, are so comfortable you won’t notice they’re even in there. They’ll collect all the blood in the vagina so that none flows out. This means you can swim with it: a giant benefit that cloth pads and period underwear don’t have.

Using a cup also means you don’t have to worry about unwanted odors. As long as it’s the right fit for your vagina, it won’t leak out any blood. Some women decide to use period underwear or cloth pads as backups to their cups, but if you have the right fit and change your cup out more often when your flow is heavy, leaking shouldn’t be an issue. Menstrual cups can stay in your vagina for up to 12 hours, which is 4 hours longer than a tampon. That means you don’t have to worry about emptying it while you’re out and about. Of course, that’s not the case if you have a particularly heavy period. Depending on your cup, it can hold up to 1oz of blood.

Looking forward to your next videos on menstrual cups. I have two early teen daughters and would love to help them avoid disposable pads and tampons, but yes, those questions of choosing the correct size and how to insert the cups have held me back from buying them. I think a frank discussion on the topic is in order. :)
