1. It is a no rash programme. One of the biggest problems that women face and face for over 5-7 yrs is the rash that pads cloth or disposable pads produce. 35 yrs x 12 months x 5 days =2100 days of our lives we have periods. That is why tampons became popular as women did not like to have anything between their legs that would give them rash.
2. Wearing the cup helps to reduce the white discharge that women suffer from as the cup does not irritate the vaginal mucosa.
3. You can pass urine or stools without needing to remove the menstrual cup –unlike the pads.
4. It is truly “wash and wear”-remove it, wash it and wear it.
5. The cup holds about 15-20 ml of liquid thus leading to less leakage over the same amount of time as pads.
6. One cup can last for many years -8-10 yrs- so no trash is produced. One cup weighs is about 15 gms of silicone. 5 cloth pads would last a woman about 2-4 yrs –while if you used disposable pads one would use about 180 in a year( 1800 in 10 yrs, equivalent to about 35 kgs of garbage)
7. Very economical –a menstrual cup approximately costs Rs1000 for 10 years , cloth pads would cost about Rs4000 for 10 yrs while disposable pads would cost Rs 15000.
8. Rain or water does not come in the way of using the menstrual cup, while cloth pads and disposable pads cannot be used in the rain or floods.
9. Freedom to do all activities –like swimming, running, dancing, cycling, trekking and everything else.
10. One can sleep in any direction –without worrying about staining.
11. Periods are now a private affair- if this bothers you, no one needs to know that you are having one-and one feels very clean.
12. Being such a practical and economic choice, it gives freedom to a lot of women regardless of their economic status in society. Imagine the freedom that women who do physical labour experience with the cup.
13. Many women have experienced a reduction in their abdominal cramps too. I’m sure this will be proven when enough studies are made.
