Common Myths About Female Sanitary Cups You Should Stop Believing

Although there have been a lot of changes to menstrual care, there are still a number of misconceptions about reusable menstrual products. Designed to collect and not absorb menstrual flow, a period menstrual cup is a practical choice for people seeking an alternative to the traditional menstrual products. First-time users, however, are usually deterred from using it by myths surrounding comfort, safety, hygiene and usability.

In the same way, women may be misinformed about sanitary cups because they function differently than pads and tampons. Knowing how they are supposed to work can make people more aware about their choices when it comes to menstrual care. SheCup aims to make menstrual care more comfortable, convenient and accessible, and increase awareness of the use of reusable period products.

Myth 1: Menstrual Cups Are Uncomfortable.

The general falsehood is that a period menstrual cup is always uncomfortable. In fact, the comfort will depend on the correct size, correct placement of the cup and whether it has opened up properly. After a user gets it right many won't notice it when using it in daily activities.

Myth 2: Cups Are Hard to Use

It might take a little practice for you to get used to using a menstrual cup, but it's not complicated. Knowing how to fold, insert, remove and clean can make it easier. Over time, female sanitary cups can easily be incorporated into a normal period regimen.

Myth 3: Menstrual Cups Are Unhygienic

One of the other myths is that reusable cups are unhygienic. As with any product used during a period, hygiene is all about handling and cleaning. A period menstrual cup must be cleaned as per the instructions provided by the manufacturer and stored properly between periods.

Good hygiene practices are:

• Hand washing prior to touching the cup

• Properly cleaning it while in use,

• Using the suggested sterilization guidelines

• Keeping it in a clean, airy container.

Myth 4: Cups Can Get Lost Inside the Body.

A period menstrual cup cannot travel endlessly through the body.The vagina is not open into the abdomen and its length is limited. If removal is difficult, maintaining a relaxed attitude and using the recommended removal technique can assist.

Myth 5: Female Sanitary Cup Is Just for Some

No single menstrual product is the same for everyone. There are many flow and lifestyles that can accommodate the female sanitary cup, but all personal comfort and individual circumstances must be taken into consideration.

They can be very attractive to those who desire:

• A sustainable menstrual hygiene solution

• Fewer product changes and/or replacements.
