What is better for use, menstrual cup or tampon?
Teacher | Posted on
We are not living in the older times now when women used to stay at home at the time of menstruation, due to the lack of proper sanitary materials to deal with the situation outside home. These days, we have moved far beyond than just using sanitary napkins, and are able to work and travel in “those days of the month”, just like any other day. Menstrual cups and tampons are commonly in use these days, being regarded as better alternatives.
Indian women, however, still use sanitary napkins majorly, but menstrual cups and tampons are better, from the perspective of both health and comfort. If you want your periods to be easier and more comfortable, you should definitely consider switching to menstrual cups and tampons.
Now the question is how are these two different and which one is better.
Tampon
-Tampons are available based on many different sizes and absorption capacities in the market.
-They are very easy to use.
-They make you stay freer, than you can with sanitary napkins.
-Tampons should be used only as per the instructions given on the pack. Their use for a longer time can result in vaginal disorders.
-Tampons can’t be used for more than 5-6 hours.
-Tampons can’t be used while sleeping. For that, you are compelled to use sanitary napkins.
Menstrual Cups
-Menstrual cups are of two types. The soft ones are for use and throw purpose, while those made of silicon can be used over and again after washing.
-Menstrual cups don’t absorb blood, but collect it, which you can drain into toilet.
-With menstrual cups, the risk of leakage is very use. They can be used for up to 12 hours.
-No chemicals are mixed in menstrual cups, like there are in sanitary napkins and tampons. So from the point of view of health, they are safer.
-They can be used in any situation.
-Menstrual cup can be bought once and used for years.
This was already clear that both tampons and menstrual cups are better than sanitary napkins, and now we know which one is best. Menstrual cups are better than tampons in every way. They safer, cheaper, and can be used in any situation.
