Everteen Menstrual Cup

Everteen Menstrual Cup

A menstrual cup is a feminine hygiene device that is inserted into the vagina during menstruation. Its purpose is to collect menstrual fluid (blood from uterine lining) and prevent its leaking onto clothes. Menstrual cups are usually made of flexible medical grade silicone and shaped like a bell with a stem. The stem is used for insertion and removal. The bell-shaped cup seals against the vaginal wall just below the cervix. Every 4-12 hours (depending on the amount of flow), the cup is removed, emptied, rinsed, and reinserted. After each period, the cup should be boiled for at least 5 minutes and stored for use the next month.

Unlike tampons and pads, cups collect menstrual fluid rather than absorbing it. One cup is reusable for five years or more. This makes their long-term cost lower than that of disposable tampons or pads, though the initial cost is higher. Menstrual cups are also promoted as more practical and eco-friendly than pads and tampons. Given that the menstrual cup is reusable, its use greatly decreases the amount of waste generated from menstrual cycles, as there is no daily waste and the amount of discarded packaging decreases as well.

My Overall Experience with Everteen Menstrual Cup:

As I am a working person, periods are always a problem for me. I face really heavy flow on first 2 days and I avoid going out anywhere on those days, but using this menstrual cup has changed my life miraculously. Now I can live a hassel free life on those days too. I can do whatever I want without having the fear of blood staining my clothes. The menstrual cup is soft and really easy to use. It does not cause any discomfort or pain, you won't want to go back to pads once you've got the hold of using it properly, it's safe for the environment and for the body as well. Read the directions properly before using it and watch a few videos cause it can get a little confusing to use at first but once you know how to use it and you've got the hang of it, you would never want to switch back to other menstrual products. The bright side is, it is one time investment and it's really cost effective.

This is my first time trying out a menstrual cup and I'm really happy I went with Everteen menstrual cup, I'd definitely recommend everyone to at least once try out a menstrual cup if you have never tried one and I'm sure you will never want to look back.
