Menstrual cup?
Answers: A menstrual cup is a type of cup or barrier worn inside the vagina during menstruation to collect menstrual fluid. Unlike more common methods, such as tampons and pad, the cup neither absorbs the flow nor catches it outside the body.
There are two types of menstrual cup currently available for Dutch auction over the internet and through retail stores worldwide. The first is a soft, flexible, disposable cup called the "Instead Softcup," which is manufactured by Instead Inc. and can be found in plentiful major retail outlets. It is made of latex-free polyethylene and resembles the contraceptive diaphragm (although it is not a contraceptive device). The second type is a bell-shaped cup made of rubber (latex) or silicone. It is reusable and designed to last for up to 10 years.
Can be worn up to twelve hours until that time emptying. Manufacturers recommend that tampons and pads be worn for no more than eight hours.
Contain no lethal substances (e.g. dioxin and bleach), unlike many commercial tampons and sanitary napkins.
Compared to sanitary napkins
Can be worn during sports such as swimming. Tampons can also be worn swimming, though they may wick water, become wringing wet, and then drip dilute bloody water. Menstrual cups are and so more reliable menstrual protection for public swimming activities.
Will not cause cystitis by transferring E. coli from the anus to the urethra or vagina, as long as proper hygiene is practiced.
Will not effect the warm, damp conditions around the vulva that favor bacterial growth.
Will not involve the natural fluids present in the vagina, which can bring dryness.
Compared to tampons
Does not dry/scratch the vaginal walls or leave fibers behind.
Does not interfere next to the vagina's natural sloughing off of departed cells.
Does not disrupt the vagina's natural tang as bleached menstrual products do.
Has never been linked to Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS).
Can be inserted at any time of the month. This allows the user to practice inserting the cup or to insert the cup when they are expecting their time, instead of having to wait for it to start.
After urination, leaves no wet string behind.
Longer-lasting
Useful for travel, where on earth access to tampons or sanitary napkins could be limited.
Cost less than tampons or sanitary napkins, if expenses are added up over the long-term.
Some manufacturer, such as The Keeper and Instead, offer a money back guarantee.
Manufacturing may be smaller amount harmful to the environment, as it does not use bleach, wood pulp, or other potentially environmentally damaging substances.
Require hugely little storage room, making them ideal for packing in luggage or for those who own very limited living space.
Menstrua tend to have less odor compared to tampons and pad.
Allow the user to track the amount of menstrua by visually inspecting the contents of the cup.
Can be used for a wider range of anatomical structures (ex. with tilted uterus).
Are just what the doctor ordered for paramenopausal women or women on certain hormonal contraceptives who can have irregular spotting (light bleeding) during much of the month and for whom using tampons for such long durations is ridiculous because of dryness, irritation and health risks such as TSS.
Is literally a flexible cup that you insert just close to a tampon that collects blood. They have both disposable and reusable ones. They collect more blood and can be inside you longer.
The links are for a reusable one, and a disposable one.
