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.⠀
