works\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe menstrual cup\u003c\/strong\u003e is a \u003cstrong\u003edevice for containing and collecting menstrual blood\u003c\/strong\u003e, characterized by a \u003cstrong\u003ebell shape\u003c\/strong\u003e, usually made of eco-friendly and biocompatible material. Instead of absorbing blood, the cup collects it. It must be inserted, removed, and emptied several times during the days of bleeding. \u003cstrong\u003eThanks to the adherence of the cup walls\u003c\/strong\u003e, blood is collected without remaining in contact with the vaginal walls for too long, as happens with tampons, and this \u003cstrong\u003ereduces the onset of vaginal infections\u003c\/strong\u003e. The menstrual cup is made of medical silicone or TPE, soft and flexible, allowing for easy and quick insertion. The average size of a cup is about \u003cstrong\u003e4\/5 centimeters\u003c\/strong\u003e excluding the stem, with an internal diameter (excluding the edges) of about ¾ cm and is normally available in the two most common sizes, M and L.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 id=\"\"h_534114087341598959910400\"\"\u003eAll the advantages of the menstrual cup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy should you join the thousands of women who have chosen the menstrual cup to take care of their menstrual cycle? For \u003cstrong\u003emany good reasons.\u003c\/strong\u003e Let's start with you. Do you have a menstrual cycle that never stops, particularly heavy or painful but want to have a life even during menstruation? The cup can help you alleviate these discomforts that arise every lunar cycle because \u003cstrong\u003eit collects three times the blood of a super-absorbent tampon\u003c\/strong\u003e, in a practical and painless way. This capacity allows you to bleed in peace, without having to think about changing one pad after another, so \u003cstrong\u003eyou can take care of yourself\u003c\/strong\u003e, especially on the most intense days of the month. If you are active even during your cycle, the cup is perfect because \u003cstrong\u003eyou can play sports\u003c\/strong\u003e and even go swimming without fearing inconveniences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cup \u003cstrong\u003erespects your mucous membranes\u003c\/strong\u003e and the environment because it allows you to drastically reduce the monthly waste production that you cannot avoid with traditional pads and tampons. If you use traditional pads and have noticed that after your cycle you are more prone to dryness, irritation, yeast infections, and bad odors, the menstrual cup can help you: sanitary pads, in addition to blood, also absorb vaginal secretions that protect you from the invasion of potentially pathogenic bacteria. With the cup, you solve the problem at its root because \u003cstrong\u003eit maintains your natural pH\u003c\/strong\u003e. Moreover, thanks to the perfectly adhering edges, \u003cstrong\u003eit prevents blood leakage\u003c\/strong\u003e that could cause unpleasant odors. Finally, do you really want to know \u003cstrong\u003ehow much you save\u003c\/strong\u003e? Consider that on average you spend about 40 euros a year, while with proper use and maintenance, \u003cstrong\u003ea single cup can last up to ten years.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 id=\"\"h_342548896661598959919193\"\"\u003eFalse myths about the menstrual cup\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt should be changed once a year\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first myth to debunk about the menstrual cup is that it should be replaced once a year: \u003cstrong\u003eif used correctly and stored carefully, it lasts for years\u003c\/strong\u003e. This, while reducing the commercial appeal for producers, enriches the ethical sense and ecological planning of the trade of a high-quality menstrual cup, \u003cstrong\u003edesigned to last\u003c\/strong\u003e. Many menstrual cup manufacturers indeed have their roots in a \u003cstrong\u003estrong ecological spirit\u003c\/strong\u003e and a corporate mission against waste and the production of refuse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe menstrual cup: a plastic-free cycle\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIt would be naive to believe that the mere use of the cup saves the world from plastic production: many cups on the market are made of TPE, \u003cstrong\u003ethermoplastic elastomer\u003c\/strong\u003e, a derivative of plastic. Let's also add the packaging, plastic windows in the paper packaging, wrappers, and bags. We are still talking about plastic. In any case, the philosophy that supports those who produce menstrual cups is steeped in ecological awareness, and therefore there is an increasing tendency to opt for \u003cstrong\u003emedical silicone\u003c\/strong\u003e - a synthetic compound but highly biocompatible - completely free of latex, dyes, phthalates, or toxic substances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe menstrual cup is a novelty of the millennium\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eNot quite. In 1937, American \u003cstrong\u003eLeona Chalmers\u003c\/strong\u003e invented the first rubber menstrual cup. Then the war broke out, and rubber was needed by the army to shoot at the enemy, so the production of the first cups immediately hit a snag. In any case, the American female public, rather than cleaning and reusing the medical device, was attracted by the seductive convenience of the emerging disposable products industry that was appearing on the horizon, along with the tsunami of waste that would come with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe size of the cup is related to the blood flow\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eNot always. It is possible to identify the right size by observing other factors such as age, type, and tone of the pelvic floor, any pregnancies, and births. The difference in \u003cstrong\u003eliquid containment capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e between the two most common sizes is minimal, about 0.5 milliliters. However, both sizes can hold three times the liquid of a normal tampon, so with both sizes, the need to empty and reinsert the cup is reduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne cup is worth another\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAbsolutely not, this is a mass myth. The cup should be chosen carefully and without saving. Make sure it meets \u003cstrong\u003ethe highest quality standards\u003c\/strong\u003e: yours. Be sure to check that the cup you buy is made of excellent quality material, safe, and soft enough to comfortably adhere to the walls of the vagina. A practical tip? \u003cstrong\u003eMake sure it is medical silicone\u003c\/strong\u003e, not food-grade, which is not as safe as the former.

There are different insertion techniques, and you can choose the one that works for you. The two most famous are the \u003cstrong\u003e\"punch\"\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003e\"C\"\u003c\/strong\u003e method.

If the insertion is correct, you might feel a slight suction or even a small sound, indicating that the cup has created the right adherence. If the \u003cstrong\u003ebase of the cup is oval and without folds\u003c\/strong\u003e, it means you have inserted it correctly. If you feel even the slightest fold, you can grasp the base of the cup (not the stem) and \u003cstrong\u003eslightly rotate the cup\u003c\/strong\u003e until you find the perfect comfort. If you feel that the cup is well positioned, \u003cstrong\u003epull gently on the stem\u003c\/strong\u003e: if there is resistance, it means that the cup has created the right suction. The stem should still be completely inside you, but since we are all different, if the stem protrudes, you can shorten it with scissors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3 id=\"\"h_4875314794521598961778438\"\"\u003eDuring flow\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the main advantages of the cup is that you can forget about it for up to 12 hours, whether it is night or day.

In fact, you can start using the menstrual cup at your first menstruation. It requires some practice before achieving the right comfort: the muscles of young and virgin people tend to be tighter, which makes insertion more difficult. Therefore, you need to practice initially. If you feel discomfort or unease, do not force the insertion but take a break. Relax and try again later. The entrance of the vagina is tighter and smaller in width compared to the rest of the vaginal canal, so \u003cstrong\u003eproceeding gradually\u003c\/strong\u003e will make insertion easier. If you are a virgin, choose the smallest size you can find. Remember, however, that \u003cstrong\u003ethe hymen is not the seal\u003c\/strong\u003e or the \"plug\" of the vagina that breaks at the first intercourse because it gets \"punctured\": if that were the case, girls would not be able to have menstrual flow until their first sexual intercourse. Which does not happen. The hymen is a thin layer of tissue that partially covers the vagina, but it wears away for various reasons such as sports, cycling, self-exploration, or clinical examinations. According to medical standards, \u003cstrong\u003ethe rupture of the hymen does not mark the loss of virginity\u003c\/strong\u003e: you lose your virginity at the moment of the first complete penetrative sexual intercourse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 id=\"\"h_739705905101598961833617\"\"\u003eMenstrual cup and sexual intercourse\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePentrative sex (like penis in vagina), insertion of sex toys, or masturbation with finger insertion is not possible while wearing a menstrual cup. \u003cstrong\u003eIf you want to have penetrative sex, you just need to remove the menstrual cup.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2 id=\"\"h_6648403865221598961843507\"\"\u003eTypes of cups\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3 id=\"\"h_4194009395331598961852991\"\"\u003eDisposable\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe disposable menstrual cup is a one-time-use cup with a soft material ring and a transparent, thin collection cup (similar to a condom, although it is clear, it is not a valid contraceptive method).

To facilitate the process, however, there are criteria that can help you navigate without problems: age and reproductive life are two decisive factors in the choice, but also the length of the cervix and the firmness of the cup material can come into play in the selection. Vaginal muscle tone varies over time and with the experience of motherhood. Generally, choose size M if you are under 30 and have not given birth.

The shape, wall thickness, and quality of the silicone play a role in the fit and comfort of a cup, whether hard or soft, when it is inside a vagina. In general, \u003cstrong\u003esofter silicone cups\u003c\/strong\u003e are more comfortable because they do not exert outward pressure, but it may be more difficult to get them to open inside, and some handling may be needed to get them to open.

The Norma cup is actually made for you: if you use traditional tampons and if after the \u003cstrong\u003ecycle\u003c\/strong\u003e you are more prone to dryness, irritation, yeast infections and bad smells, this is due to the fact that tampons absorb not only blood but also vaginal secretions that protect you from the invasion of potentially pathogenic bacteria. With the cup you can solve the problem at the root because it maintains your \u003cstrong\u003enatural pH\u003c\/strong\u003e. If you have a heavy flow and want to have a life even during the \u003cstrong\u003ecycle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Norma collects \u003cstrong\u003ethree times\u003c\/strong\u003e the blood of a super absorbent tampon. In addition, thanks to the perfectly \u003cstrong\u003eadherent\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eedges, it prevents the escape of blood that could cause unpleasant smells.

Do you want to know how much you are going to save? Consider that on average you spend about 40 euros per year in tampons while you buy\u0026nbsp;Norma cup only once and it lasts for years. If you go to the pool, travel often, love to go out and have a very active life: Norma takes care of\u0026nbsp;you. Also if you have sensitive skin or easily develop allergic reactions.
