What are menstrual cups?

Menstrual cups are quite flexible and are designed to use inside the vagina during periods. This cup is different from tampons and pads as it collects all the blood inside the cup instead of absorbing it. This is why it can be cleaned and reused and will last for about 10 years. Menstrual cups are known for less leakage and the health risks are smaller in comparison to disposable products. They are comfortable in wearing as they are made of medical grade silicone that is hygienic and healthy for women. Everteen Menstrual cups come in different sizes from small to large so women can choose the one based on the size of the vagina. Menstrual cups are extra flexible and even the small sizes are quite flexible.

Sizes of Menstrual cups:

Small Cup: These are suitable for women with low cervix and light to normal flow. The capacity of the cup is up to 23 ml.

Large Cup: Suitable for medium to the high cervix, for normal to heavy flow. The capacity of the cup is 30 ml.

How to Use:

Insert the C folded menstrual cup while squatting into the vagina at a 45-degree angle till it pops open and is comfortable. It should be inserted properly otherwise there will be space left for stains or leakage. If you are a first time user then use a pad along with it. Blood gets collected in the flexible cup and after the use, it can be cleaned and used again. If you face heavy flow then you should order the one with large capacity. You need to check the cup after 12 hours to see how much blood has collected. The cup can be removed by reaching out to the stem to find the base and pinching the base of the stem to release the seal and then removing the cup. After emptying the cup, it should be rinsed, wiped and then reinserted. Use mild soap and sterilized water to clean the cup. These cups are available in several colors and dyes used in manufacturing them are safe for use in sensitive areas. After use, you can dip the cup in Hydrogen Peroxide so that it is thoroughly clean and tidy.

My Experience:

Earlier I was skeptical about using menstrual cups for many years, but then I received my period box from Everteen which contained the Menstrual cup in a red bag. I wanted to try the menstrual cup as I was looking for an alternative to tampons and sanitary pads as they are made of synthetic materials which are uncomfortable at times. They are also harmful to our eco-system as they end up on our landfills. I used the menstrual cup during my last periods and they were not at all messy. A seal is created inside the vagina and all the blood gets collected inside. It was soft and easy to use and I had no discomfort while traveling or attending meetings. It is safe to use and does not cause any soreness or rash. This cup is really soft and handy and is very comfortable and amazing.

Pros:
No leakage
They are hygienic and has no chance of breeding of bacteria.
Life of one cup is approximately 8-10 years.
They are great for eco-system as they can avoid the use up to 10,000 pads
No menstrual odor, dryness or discomfort.

Cons:
Price is high(But it’s a one-time investment )
Cannot be used in long journeys as there is no place to sterilize and wear it again.
Some women find it painful to insert.
They cannot be cleaned in a public place.

Final Verdict: I would surely recommend this product as it will save your time and money. They are very comfortable and can hold lots of menstrual blood.
