Why would you use a menstrual cup instead of a tampon?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For all the reasons! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Tampons can cause TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome) because they break down and can leave fragments inside for bacteria to feed on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- The rough texture can cause small scrapes in the skin to allow that bacteria to enter your body.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Tampons absorb your natural moisture, leaving you dry and uncomfortable.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Tampons and pads cause massive amounts of waste.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Tampons and pads both contain harmful chemicals that absorb into your bloodstream through the thin and delicate tissues of your vaginal wall.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Menstrual cups are clean, reusable, safe, easy to sanitize, and completely free of harmful chemicals.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
