Over the years, the ways in which we manage periods have evolved significantly. One period care option that has gained tremendous popularity in recent years is the period cup. In this blog post, we'll take a historical look at how period cups have transformed from a niche product into a preferred choice for many.
A Brief History of Period Cups
Period cups, also referred to as menstrual cups, have been around since the early 20th century. Initially introduced in the 1930s, the early versions of menstrual cups were innovative yet faced several cultural and practical challenges which limited their widespread adoption. Over the decades, increased awareness and advancements in design and material have helped redefine what period care can be.
The Modern Period Cup: Why It's Gaining Popularity
1. Environmentally Friendly
One of the primary reasons individuals are choosing period cups over traditional options is their environmental benefits. Unlike disposable pads and tampons, which contribute to landfill waste, period cups are reusable. Made from medical-grade silicone, these cups can be used for several years, significantly reducing one's carbon footprint.
2. Economical in the Long Run
Although the initial investment may be higher, a period cup can last for years with proper care. This makes it a cost-effective option over time compared to regularly purchasing disposable period products. The MomDaughts Double tail Menstrual Cup is a perfect example of an affordable and durable cup designed with comfort in mind. Check it out here!

Modern period cups are designed for comfort and ease of use. For those new to period cups, products like the Menstrual Cup Comfort Kit can be an excellent choice. This kit includes an applicator and the MomDaughts Softfit Lubricant, making insertion smooth and comfortable, especially for beginners.
Supporting Your Journey: Hygiene and Care
Caring for your period cup involves ensuring it's clean and stored properly between uses. We recommend using a gentle intimate wash like MomDaughts Intiwash to maintain hygiene without disturbing your natural balance.
