MyCup Menstrual Cup

If you haven’t heard of menstrual cups then now is the time to learn! MyCup is a reusable, silicone, cup that is worn internally, collecting rather than absorbing your menstrual flow. While tampons are the go-to for many women the idea of a menstrual cup is rather unique in that you can use it every day of your period, heavy or light, it just takes a little bit of practice and getting used to. Once you have mastered it the benefits are many. It is a truly reusable product.

Cheap, NZ made, environmentally sustainable and easy to use these just need to be rinsed in between uses and disinfected in between cycles. Menstrual cups have existed since the 1930s when women were searching for an alternative to sanitary pads and tampons. It has made a resurgence into feminine hygiene more recently with sustainable lifestyles.

Essentially it forms a seal and the blood collects inside it. There are 2 sizes, one for before babies and before the age of 35 and the other for after the age of 35 or after babies. Using it takes patience at first and we suggest going to youtube for an explanatory video. You may want to wear panty liners as you practice fitting it for the first month or two.

Give it a go and invest in a sustainable and safe alternative to feminine hygiene products!
