What's more disgusting than a cup full of menstrual blood?
A nasty, stinky, chemical laced tampon.
Have I weeded out the men reading this post yet?
I present to you the menstrual cup. A nifty alternative to tampons or pads.
Why do I love this thing? Weeellll look at how cute it is!
It's so petite and squishy. Really, nothing to be afraid of...
How the heck does this thing fit?
If you can use a tampon you can use this. It sits lower than a tampon- but not so low that it's uncomfortable.

But seriously, what if it falls out?
It wont. This cup has suction. Not like a hoover, but it does the trick.
How do you clean it out in a public restroom? I mean, that's totally gross.
To clean the cup, you wash it with warm water and mild soap. However, when that's not going to happen, you can wipe it out with toilet paper or a Lunette Disinfecting Wipe. After the last day or your period boil the cup for 5 minutes and store it in it's satin bag.
How often do I have to empty the cup? Is it really gross?
The cup only needs to be emptied 2-4 times per day- depending on your flow. It's not gross and it's easy. Just relax, it wont take much effort and with some practice it will only take you a few seconds to get that sucker out.
Intrigued? Check out the Lunette menstrual cups at Green Mountain Babies on sale this week!
Tampons contain 2 things that are potentially harmful: Rayon (for absorbency) and diaxon (a chemical used in bleaching products).
It would be perfect if it prevented my period altogether...but, I guess that's called pregnancy, and I don't want to go there.
ReplyDelete-k.
hahahahaha. Love it- you're funny.
ReplyDeleteI love the cup - been using it for a few years and it is the best thing! Never dry from using a tampon that is too big, and never bleeding through. PLUS it's environment and economy friendly!
