There are many advantages to an Apofemme menstrual cup. Many people are initially sceptical about trying a menstrual cup. But dare to try and let the menstrual cup convince you. Here we list the top 10 benefits of using a menstrual cup.
If you're tired of changing pads and tampons every now and then, the menstrual cup is your saviour. One of the main benefits of the menstrual cup available is that it can stay in for up to 12 hours. With a menstrual cup, you sleep undisturbed and minimise toilet visits.
Medical grade silicone is very hygienic. The silicone is also gentle on the sensitive mucous membranes of the vagina. It is important that you have clean hands when handling, inserting and removing your menstrual cup. Then this is a really good choice for your intimate hygiene.
When the cup is placed correctly, you won't feel it. You can play sports, swim and live your life as usual without worrying about your menstrual pad leaking. The cup is flexible in all your movements.
With a menstrual cup, you don't need to buy pads and tampons. With a menstrual cup, you have full control over your period. The cup is emptied, rinsed and put back again. The cup is just as suitable for the first few days of your period when bleeding is heavier as for the last few days when you bleed less. However, one does not exclude the other; some people are more comfortable with a cup for the first few days of heavy bleeding and other menstrual protection at the end of their period.
Bathe safely with a cup. The cup ensures that water does not enter the vagina and that blood does not leak out. A big advantage of the cup is that you can bathe safely without the risk of leakage.
There are studies that suggest that using a cup is good for the muscles of the vagina. This is because the muscles are stimulated when the cup is in place. The muscles can then become stronger. Strengthening the muscles can prevent problems such as incontinence in the long term.
By not buying pads and tampons, you save money. Over the lifetime of the cup, you will have saved on several purchases of other types of menstrual protection. It won't take long before you have saved the cost of a menstrual cup.

As a menstrual cup can stay in for up to twelve hours, it is a very convenient option when travelling. It's easy to empty wherever you are, and it doesn't take much to make sure your hand hygiene is good. One or two cups is all you need to travel around the world or to the next city without worrying about when you're going to have your period.
A properly placed menstrual cup gives a light, pliable and free feeling. It shouldn't chafe. You'll quickly learn how often to empty your cup so it doesn't get too full. We recommend that the first few times you use your cup, you empty it frequently to get an idea of your flow and practise inserting and removing it. You will be surprised to see how much a menstrual cup holds. You will therefore have a lighter feeling when you feel your menstrual cup. It sits where it sits. Safe, comfortable and hygienic.
