Menstrual Cups

Menstrual Cups

Don't be put off trying a reusable menstrual cup if you've never got on with tampons, reusable menstrual cups work completely differently and not at all comparable.

Tampons strip your vaginal walls of its lining and soak up the healthy discharge and vaginal secretions you need to keep your body's natural flora at the optimum levels.

A menstrual cup takes the blood, menstrual fluid and leaves everything else.

As with tampons it is still important to regularly empty and clean your period cups to prevent toxic shock syndrome. Once you try a cup you'll never want to use disposable tampons again!

Cups Give You Freedom

Cups give you the freedom to get on with your life and forget your period is even happening. Menstrual cup use has increased by an incredible amount in the last decade. Silicone cup users regularly tell us how they have improved their lives.

Once inserted properly you won't be able to feel it.

Using a Menstrual Cup is Easy!

Many women only have to empty their cup of menstrual blood after 8-12 hours giving you the freedom from changes at work or school. Most menstrual cup brands sell a small cup and a larger size, sometimes the larger cup is if you have given birth vaginally. Cups of either size give you a high capacity.  Menstrual cups leak free days!

While a menstruation cup looks expensive, they're designed to last up to 10 years, so it pays for itself within a few months. Most people only have one cup however some prefer  a larger cup for the start of their cycle when they are heavier and a smaller cup for the end of their cycle.
