The 10 SECOND ANSWER to 3 of your most burning questions!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Why are menstrual cups are better than tampons and pads?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This one is pretty easy. Tampons can cause TSS (Toxic Shock Syndrome) because they break down and can leave fragments inside for bacteria to feed on. Plus, their rough texture can cause small scrapes in the skin to allow that bacteria to enter your body. Tampons and pads are both messy, cause massive amounts of waste, and often contain harmful chemicals that come in contact with the most sensitive part of your body.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Menstrual cups are clean, reusable, easy to sanitize, and completely free of harmful chemicals. Cup users can easily prevent TSS by cleaning AND sanitizing the cup regularly… ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Can a menstrual cup get stuck?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Many first-time menstrual cup users have the fear of losing your cup inside the vaginal canal! Thankfully, this is not possible! Your vaginal canal is like a dead-end street, starting at the opening and ending at your cervix. Your cup cannot physically enter your cervix. However, your menstrual cup is designed to sit lower in your vaginal canal, below your cervix, to catch all fluid. What can happen is your cup can suction itself to your cervix if it gets too high in your vaginal canal, and it can lift beyond your reach. If this happens to you, don’t panic! We have lots of tips and tricks to make sure this a cause for worry!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Will a menstrual cup stretch me out?
Your vaginal canal is designed to allow an entire baby to pass through it and return to its natural shape! (Amazing, right? Our bodies are created to be so beautifully resilient!) Your little menstrual cup will not stretch your vaginal opening, and you can fold it to be the same size at insertion point as a regular tampon.
