Menstrual cups are made of a flexible, soft, hypoallergenic material that respects the natural vagina flora and prevents dryness and irritation. They collect more blood than tampons or pads but must be emptied and washed regularly and should not be used for more than 12 hours. Choosing the menstrual cup has several advantages. In the long term it is cheaper than using tampons and pads, it does not cause dryness and maintains the vagina’s natural moisture. The hypoallergenic material used to make menstrual cups does not produce any kind of reaction or allergy and does not smell as it is not in contact with the air. Of course, it is an eco-friendly and planet-friendly option.
It is important to choose the right menstrual cup size. They are usually classified as S, M and L, but some brands choose letters and others indicate their size according to their capacity. The size may vary depending on your flow (whether it is heavy, medium or light) or whether you have had children. To help you choose, if you have given birth the best option is an L, if you are over 30 and have no children you could choose a size M and if you are younger, in general, your size will be an S.
It is compatible with IUDs and other contraceptive methods.
Regarding sex, all menstrual cups are suitable for non-penetrative sex, although there are now some menstrual cups in the market designed to use during penetrative sex.
