Worried About Period Leaking – It’s Time to Get a Menstrual Cup

If you are wondering whether or not you should switch your pads with a menstrual cup, then this article is for you.

Using a menstrual cup can turn your life 180 degrees. You won’t have to worry about pads going out of stock every month or passing sneaky looks to your girlfriends to check the stain. It takes care of literally everything you can think of, except the menstruation though.

A menstrual cup is going to be the best purchase of your life. And I will tell you 5 reasons why is it so:

1. Better Holding

Some of us bleed less on our periods but some of us bleed like a river. Using a sanitary pad can only absorb blood for not more than 3 hours.

It’s not even advisable to use the same pad after that. If we do simple math, you will need to change your pad at least 8 times a day that too between your period cramps.

Whereas if you use a menstrual cup you won’t have to worry about taking it out for the next 8-12 hours. Sounds super comforting to me and you?

2. Sustainable

Did you know an average woman uses around 16000 pads in her lifetime? These pads are dumped carelessly in nature which takes years and years to decompose.

But instead, a menstrual cup is made from medical-grade silicone, once bought, it can last up to 5 years. Just wonder how much difference it’s going to make for the environment because of your decision. Think about it!

3. Free Movements

While your sanitary pad is placed on your panties, a menstrual cup is placed inside your va##na. No, it’s not at all scary, it’s actually quite liberating? This is because the cup, once inside, holds your va##nal wall properly and you will not have to worry about its displacement.

Not only that, you won’t feel restricted to do any kind of physical movement. Jump, dance, go for a hike, or go swimming, do whatever you want. You will feel absolutely liberated.

4. Bye-bye Period Smell

I don’t have to elaborate much on how period smells are so gross. And sometimes, if the other person is too close, they can smell it too.

You can argue that clean sprays are available for hygiene, but let me tell you not everyone can buy them, and the side effects tamper with your va##nal health.

But you won’t have to worry about this once you get a menstrual cup. How? Because a menstrual cup stays inside your va##na and doesn’t let the blood get leaked, there’s absolutely no chance you are going to deal with any kind of smell.

5. Cost-friendly

Let’s be real now, pads and tampons are very expensive. And you have to buy that every month in your life until you are 50. But wait, did I already mention that a menstrual cup lasts for about 5 years?

Menstrual cups are reusable and very cost-effective when compared to pads or tampons. Think about it? Wouldn’t you want to spend that much money on other necessities of your life?

6. No More Itchiness down there

I know you guys are already feeling the discomfort just by reading it. Sanitary pads if used for long hours become moisture resistant and start causing itchiness down there.

It becomes very comfortable especially in public places where you can’t do anything. But if you use a menstrual cup, your blood doesn’t come out voluntarily.

This means your v##va stays dry and happy. You can say no to itchiness forever.

7. Sex on Your Period

I am sure most of my ladies are going to feel it. Even if you want it bad you cannot have sex if you are using pads. However, you can do a lot of naughty things if you are wearing a menstrual cup, without worrying about blood leaking. Just take our advice and don’t have penetrative sex.
