Menstrual cup

It is a small cup made of silicone for intravaginal use. Its purpose is to collect menstrual blood in a practical and safe way. The use of the menstrual cup should not hurt. There is an adaptation phase but even then if placed correctly, it should not hurt.

Not everyone adapts to the use of the cup. That is why it is important to try, maybe it is something for you, maybe not.


Cons about the menstrual cup

From only a menstrual care perspective, the cup is a great ally. From an energetic perspective, the cup interrupts the energy flow from inside the womb out. Another con is that every time you lay down using the cup the blood can go back inside. Our period is a cleaning process of our body, it is material but energetic, so whenever possible, take that into consideration.


Advantages of cups

It can be used for up to 12 straight hours, it gives you more security against leaks, and you can go to the gym, yoga, swimming, etc. It is much more economical, ecological, healthy, etc.


Reusable pads

It is a reusable absorbent made with modern and intelligent fabrics, which makes it breathable, waterproof, and very absorbent.


Cons about the reusable pads

Depending on the intensity of your flow you might need to change it a couple of times a day, just like a disposable pad. It is important to have a small anti-leakage bag with you so you can keep them separate from your other objects.


Advantages of reusable pads

It does not contain the harmful chemical gels of disposable pads. The reusable pads are a much more economical option, in addition to being better for the environment.


Period underwear

It is a pantie that has very thin layers of special and intelligent fabrics that make it both absorbent, waterproof, and breathable. It still leaves you with a mild dry feeling. It is super discreet and it feels like you are wearing normal panties.


Cons about period underwear

If your flow is very intense, you might need to change some times during the day or use it in combination with the cup for example. If you have light or moderate flow it is a great ally!
