How a Menstrual Cup Will Change Your Life – Survey Results
From sex to sleep, cramps to confidence, everyone’s talking about how menstrual cups can change your life. In March 2016, we talked to over 1,500 women about their experiences with a cup to gain a better insight on how exactly a cup can improve your period and your life in general. Thank you so much to everyone who took part!
What is a menstrual cup?
A menstrual cup is a soft, flexible cup that is worn internally during your period. Cups work by collecting menstrual flow instead of absorbing it. One cup can be reused for up to 10 years.
Menstrual cups are made from 100% medical-grade silicone, while tampons can contain:
- Rayon
- Bleached cotton
- Dioxins
- Fragrances
- Pesticides
- Fibers
(and they have that annoying string!)
Save Money
The cost of using a cup over 10 years is $40 while using tampons over the same time period would cost $700.
Reduce Waste
1 menstrual cup can do the job of over 3250 tampons.
