There are so many different menstrual products to use for your monthly flow, from sanitary pads and tampons to period panties<\/a>. However, many agree that nothing beats menstrual cups, as they\u2019re super convenient! The following are 7 great reasons to use a menstrual cup<\/a>; 7 reasons that prove they\u2019re the best choice when it comes to your period, as they make life a whole lot easier!<\/p>\r\n

1. It Requires a Change Every 12 Hours<\/h2>\r\n

All us ladies know, when you\u2019re having a heavy flow, usually on days two and three of your period, you\u2019re going to have to change your sanitary pads and tampons on the hour. If not, they get wet and uncomfortable and start giving off a bad odor.<\/p>\r\n

However, with a menstrual cup in place, especially one like the Venus Cup<\/a> which holds more capacity than most the cups on the market, you can comfortably go about your day not having to worry about taking it out every few hours to replace it, as it lasts 12 hours \u2013 perfect for heavy flow days.<\/p>\r\n

2. There\u2019s No Worry When You Poop<\/h2>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

Let\u2019s face the truth, ladies, when we bleed \u2013 we poop a lot too! A big reason is the fact that we eat so much<\/a> during our periods, so our bodies need to constantly excrete what we\u2019re putting in. When wearing tampons, all the squeezing and pushing that can come from pooping, especially constipation and the actions taken on the toilet when that happens, can cause the tampon to shoot out \u2013 fun right?!!<\/p>\r\n

When you\u2019re wearing a menstrual cup, this doesn\u2019t happen, which is much more hygienic and cleaner at the end of the day.<\/p>\r\n

3. There\u2019s Less Worry When Fooling Around<\/h2>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

When you hook up with a guy you like and you\u2019re wearing a sanitary pad, it can be quite embarrassing. You really don\u2019t want him to touch you while you\u2019re wearing one, and if you remove your underwear to proceed with intercourse and have a pad attached, it\u2019s pretty graphic indeed.<\/p>\r\n

The same goes with a tampon. It\u2019s embarrassing if you\u2019re having fun, get undressed, and the string of your tampon is hanging out - it\u2019s just not appealing.<\/p>\r\n

At least with a menstrual cup, everything is neat and hidden. Yes, it\u2019s best to remove the cup if you decide to have intercourse while menstruating<\/a>, but at least you get to have a lot of fun doing everything but sex while wearing a cup, and your partner wouldn\u2019t know the difference!<\/p>\r\n

4. You Won\u2019t Wake Up with Blood on Your Sheets<\/h2>\r\n

When bleeding heavily, you can have moments where you wake up with blood having seeped through on to your sheets during the night. However, this doesn\u2019t happen when wearing a menstrual cup. That\u2019s great news if you\u2019re sleeping over at a friend or at a hotel, and the thought of someone else finding your period blood on their sheets is just mortifying.<\/p>\r\n

Also, you don\u2019t need to worry about constantly changing your own sheets, or not using white sheets during this time.<\/p>\r\n

5. It Doesn\u2019t make Your Vagina Feel Dry<\/h2>\r\n

There are changes in your hormones that happen when experiencing a period, mainly a drop in estrogen levels at the beginning of your period, which leads to a dry vagina. This feels terrible when removing cotton tampons that feel stuck to your vaginal walls. It seems ironic that this occurs when so much liquid is coming out.<\/p>\r\n

However, you don\u2019t need to worry about this with a menstrual cup, as it\u2019s made out of silicone, and doesn\u2019t need excessive removal.<\/p>\r\n

6. There\u2019s No Need to Pack Extras<\/h2>\r\n

When menstruating and going to the office or college, you\u2019ve probably got a box of tampons neatly packed away in your bag, or at least 8 sanitary pads stuffed away ready to be used. If you use period panties, you\u2019ll definitely carry an extra pair, and a packet to put the used one inside.<\/p>\r\n

However, this isn\u2019t the case with a menstrual cup. When it has reached its capacity, simply go to the bathroom, empty it, rinse it under cold water and slip it back in \u2013 no mess, no fuss, and no need to pack extras.<\/p>\r\n

7. Menstrual Cups Can Be Personalized<\/h2>\r\n

When purchasing tampons or sanitary pads from a pharmacy, they\u2019re usually all the same, white, standard, either big or small. However, when choosing menstrual cups, you get to choose different colors, shapes<\/a> (bell-shaped, V-shaped, round-shaped, and ergonomic cups) and sizes. It\u2019s your body and your choice of what cup you want to use.<\/p>\r\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n

Getting your monthly is never fun \u2013 cramps, blood, cravings and generally a hiatus from sex are all the things you go through! So, make life easier by using a menstrual cup and say goodbye to sanitary pads and tampons forever!<\/p>\r\n
