I'm a LadyCup menstrual cup user… you know? Let me explain why I made this choice.
In France, millions of women have their period every month. This natural phenomenon generates effects that are much less so.
Every year, more than 2,000,000,000 tampons and pads are thrown in the trash, just in our beautiful country.
Imagine in euros what this can give. It's a colossal market for an almost unavoidable item of expenditure.
This observation led me to think about an alternative, economical and ecological solution.
A friend told me about it and advised me to get started, she was so happy with her menstrual cup.
I insert it like a tampon (still allow a little time for getting started at the start).
She collects the menstrual flow in her cup. Several times a day, I empty it, then I rinse it with water before reinserting it. It's that simple ! (Important:remember to sterilize it every month before each use).
Its lifespan is about 15 years, imagine, 15 years without buying pads or tampons!
My menstrual cup is made of healthy materials:natural rubber or silicone.
It therefore has no negative impact on our health, unlike tampons and pads made of chemicals and modifying the natural vaginal environment.
Its long life makes it very economical and ecological. It avoids the use of tampons and sanitary napkins that go straight to the trash after use.
And you, what do you think of this trick? Have you ever tried the menstrual cup? Perhaps you can share your user impressions with us. Leave me a little comment!
The purchase of tampons and pads costs on average 108€ per year. The LadyCup costs less than 10€! You can find some here right now.
The LadyCup therefore pays for itself after 3 months and allows me to save €108 per year. Enough to buy me some pretty underwear!
