Advantages And Disadvantages Of Menstrual Cup

Advantages:
Safety. Menstrual cup only collects menstrual blood and does not absorb it, so there is no risk of TSS (toxic shock Syndrome).
Convenient. The menstrual cup can be placed in the body for up to 12 hours. If the menstrual blood volume is relatively large, it is enough to take it out and empty it 2-4 times a day.
Perceptual intuition. Menstrual flow is one of the criteria for judging whether menstruation is normal. The menstrual flow of healthy women is 30ml-50ml, and the capacity of large menstrual cups reaches 30ml. With such a reference, you can understand your daily menstrual flow more accurately.

There is a risk of poisoning. Menstrual cups are made of silicone or rubber, and some rubber can even be toxic, causing irritation to the user's body.Menstrual cup is a synthetic product, not a natural one. Special chemicals may be used when making it. Long term use of it is bound to harm health.
Not suitable for unmarried women. The thickness of the hymen of girls is only about 2-3mm. Even if you use the menstrual cup carefully, it is very likely to damage your hymen.
