Environment friendly: The fact that a menstrual cup is environmentally friendly is one of the main benefits. Unlike sanitary pads that take over 500 years to decompose, menstrual cups are reusable and hence last for years.
Comfortable and covered: A menstrual cup provides leak-proof protection for eight hours straight, while pads and tampons need to be changed every three to four hours.
Safer than other sanitary items: The majority of pads and tampons in the market contain toxic chemicals and synthetic materials that can irritate your sensitive genital skin and disrupt the vagina's pH. Good-quality menstrual cups are made of medical-grade silicone and don't upset the regular pH of the vagina or aggravate the delicate genital skin.
Pocket-friendly: Due to the fact that they are reusable and last for almost a decade, they ultimately prove to be significantly less expensive than numerous packs of single-use period products.
It holds more blood: A menstrual cup can hold between 15-25 ml of blood (depending on the size), much more than a regular tampon or pad. As a result, you can use a menstrual cup for up to 8 hours without the hassles of changing it or getting rashes.
