Knowing about the menstrual cup is useful to choose wisely which tool is indicated when dealing with menstruation, since every woman wants to feel confident of being able to continue with her routine, without the worry that this can generate.
Also known as vaginal cup or cup for the period, is a small container, usually made with medical silicone, which like a tampon, can be inserted into the vagina in order to prevent leakage of menstrual flow that remains inside; thanks to the fact that it can be adapted to the vaginal walls even during repetitive or abrupt movement; It can also be up to 12 hours, in proportion to the current flow, inside the body before being changed.
Its industrial production began in the 1930s, but it was not very successful and it was considered very invasive and impractical at that time; in 1963 they still did not have much success and they even stopped being produced due to the lack of latex and their low profitability, since many women considered them uncomfortable, heavy and very rigid, so it was not until 1987 that their production was taken up again in the United States, with more pleasant designs and with two sizes available.
In this way, the popularity of the menstrual cup has been increasing, as their designs have been adapted and improved over time becoming a solution for the menstrual fluid quite friendly to the environment, for being reusable, making it more attractive for its economic savings compared to other resources to control the bleeding of menstruation.
Added to this, the cup for the period has received good reviews ever since, because unlike tampons, which are also introduced but are absorbent for their material, they do not have the risk of leaving cotton residues inside the vagina, which have previously generated sources of infection to several women who turn to this other product. Similar is the case with sanitary napkins, which, for being held from outside, can generate irritation and sweating, proliferating with the temperature and humidity the cultivation of fungi equally dangerous for the intimate health of any woman.
For this and many other reasons, it is useful to know the benefits of using the menstrual cup, because this helpful resource often goes unnoticed for a large number of women who are subjected to having to face the days of menstruation with other products, that although they can be equally functional, they do not necessarily have to be the best option for each woman, existing such a wide variety of tastes and conditions of women that could sympathize with this practical wonder.
