What are Period Cups?
Period cups are flexible containers designed to collect menstrual fluid. They are typically made from medical-grade silicone, rubber, or latex, making them safe for internal use. Unlike tampons and pads that absorb fluid, period cups collect, allowing for longer wear time and reduced waste.
Why Choose a Period Cup?
Many people opt for period cups because they offer an eco-friendly alternative to traditional menstrual products. A single cup can last for several years, drastically reducing the amount of waste generated each cycle. Additionally, once you get the hang of using them, period cups are quite cost-effective.
How Do I Choose the Right Size?
Finding the right size can make a huge difference in comfort and effectiveness. Factors like age, whether you've given birth, and your menstrual flow can influence which size is best for you. For example, MomDaughts' Long Tailed Menstrual Cup might be suitable for those requiring a bit more length, while the Short Tailed Menstrual Cup can be a great fit for those seeking a more compact option.
How Do I Insert a Period Cup?
Insertion can seem tricky at first, but with a bit of practice, it becomes second nature. Most people find success with the fold and insert method. Ensuring a proper seal is important to prevent leaks. Our Collapsible Menstrual Cup With Cute Storage Case collapses easily for a smooth insertion and removal process.
How Often Should I Empty It?
This depends on your flow, but typically a period cup can be worn for up to 12 hours at a time. It's important to empty at least twice a day for hygiene purposes and to prevent overflow, especially on heavier days.
Can I Use a Period Cup if I Have a Low Cervix?
Absolutely! Many people with a low cervix find period cups more comfortable than other products. MomDaughts offers a variety of options, such as the Double Tail Menstrual Cup, that cater to different needs and preferences.
