What are the pros and cons of this product!? I'm considering getting one because I despise my periods and it's very embarrasing when you have a tampon in and your taking a shower in front of other girls in the locker room!. Anyway if you have used this product could you tell me what it was like!? I've heard nothing but good things about it and was asking for another opinion!. Thank you!Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Pros;

? Healthy and safe!.
Menstrual cups allow your vagina to function as it would normally, self-cleaning and keeping the walls of the vagina moist to protect from infection and damage!. As menstrual cups are made from either medical grade silicone or natural gum rubber it means there is no where for bacteria to multiply!. Menstrual cups do not contain synthetics, chemicals, additives or bleaches which means no increased risk of infection or long-term health problems!. This is put into direct comparison with tampon health risks, because of their affect on the vagina and chemical treatment tampons put women at high risk of everything from vaginal infections to TSS, vaginal splitting to cancer!. Unlike tampons menstrual cups have never caused or contributed to a death!. Menstrual cups have never been associated with TSS or any other health problem!. Many women also reports lowered menstrual flow, bloating and cramping when switching from tampons to menstrual cups!.

? Clean!.
Allowing the vagina to self-clean as it would normally and not giving bacteria a place to multiply means that the vaginal environment is no different with a menstrual cup in as it would be without a menstrual cup in!. Menstrual cups are sanitary like all other menstrual options but they can also be sterilised!. They take nothing to clean, soap and water is all that is needed!. Personally I recommend emptying in the shower, particularly when first getting used to the menstrual cup this makes things easier!. If you find you have to empty in a public bathroom you can carry a water bottle, wipes, use toilet paper or just reinsert without risk!.

? Convenient!.
Menstrual cups can be worn safely and without leaks for up to 12 hours at a time, this includes from a very light flow to very heavy flow, you can use them before your period is due to avoid being caught without protection, you can wear them safely at night, you can wear them to deal with excessive discharge!. Menstrual cups are also perfect for sports as they do not cause cramps or bloating, they are reliable and nothing shows on the outside of your body, they also don
