Do girls really think that they can handle their periods without using a sanitary pad?

The menstrual cycle is a natural phenomenon that a girl experiences from her teenage to her womanhood and to manage it there are many menstrual products available in the market. 

One of the oldest ways to manage the periods was to use clothes. At that point of time when women used to manage their periods with the help of clothes, they must have not thought a product like a pad could bring about such a big change in their lives and make things easier for them. A large percentage of women started using it and it became an integral part of their lives. But they were initially ignorant of the fact that it has harmful effects on the environment as well as on our body. 

At that time it must have seemed impossible that pads can be replaced with any other thing that can make their life easy during periods. But with the advent of the menstrual cup the equation of women with pads have changed and as today’s women are more susceptible to change. 

With all the advantages that the reusable menstrual cups have to offer the girls really think that they can handle their periods without the pads as they are more aware of the harmful effects, the pads could have on you.

Change is for the good

The Menstrual cup is a big change in the lives of the women who used the traditional products to handle their periods but this change is surely for the good. The menstrual cup is made up of medical-grade silicone that is harmless and is safe to use. It is soft and thus, it makes the insertion of the cup into the vagina easy. It rests against the wall of the vagina so that there is no leakage. It keeps you away from diseases like cancer and others. 

It is reusable

As the menstrual cup is a reusable product, you need not purchase the menstrual cup every month, unlike pads and tampons. You just need to wash it, clean it, sterilize it and reuse it again. It not only saves you from all the hassles but also saves a lot of money that gets wasted on pads. 

It does not cause rashes or itching

As a menstrual cup is inserted into the vagina and the period blood gets collected in it, it does not cause any rashes or itching. The pads on the other hand can be the cause of all these and sometimes even cause allergy or infections as well. 

It is environmental-friendly

As a menstrual cup does not need to be dumped in a garbage box or flushed in the toilet every month it does not contribute to the waste. Moreover, it does not take many years to get degraded as it easily gets back to its original state of sand as it degrades. 

It is easy to clean

Menstrual cups are easy to clean. You just need to rinse it and clean it with a menstrual cup cleansing liquid. Rinse it thoroughly to avoid irritation. You can boil the cup for 4-5 mins to sterilize it.
