Some women are only able to use a pad or a tampon, while others have to double up, changing them frequently. If you have to deal with every month, you probably want to know if there is a better, more practical, and safer way to go with the flow.
Tampons and pads have been replaced by menstrual cups, which have gained popularity quickly. While some are disposable, others are durable and reusable. But should you change to a menstrual cup just because everyone else is doing it right now? Learn more about these not-so-new feminine products in the following article, along with some advice from the best gynecologist in Bangalore.
Menstrual cups have existed since at least 1932. It was a bell-shaped product, similar to the majority of menstrual cups that you see today. A woman could insert it into her vaginal canal to collect menstrual blood. Nowadays manufacturers create these products from medical-grade materials like silicone, rubber, latex, and elastomer that are soft, malleable, sterile, and simple to clean. Menstrual cups are becoming more popular because of the capacity to use them repeatedly. Moreover, they are strong and can last for about ten years. Menstrual cups are seen as eco-friendly products. They reduce the amount of waste produced by disposing of sanitary pads.
