Why menstrual cups?
Switching to menstrual cups comes with a host of benefits, such as being environmentally friendly, and creating less solid waste as compared to sanitary pads and tampons. It is also pocket friendly — while the initial investment may be comparatively higher, in the long term it becomes cost-effective since it is reusable and can help avoid irritation/itchiness and vaginal dryness.

Shyft’s take
All of the brands mentioned above use 100% medical-grade silicone that is tested for biocompatibility and safe for medical applications such as implants, feeding tubes, respiratory masks, etc.
The main distinguishing factor among them is the size, which may require a few attempts of trial and error to find the right fit. However, a general trend to go by is as follows:
- Small / XS – for under 18 years and teens, very light flow
- Medium – for 18 years plus, also for those who have delivered via c-sec, medium flow
- Large – for 18 years plus and for those who have delivered vaginally, also can be used by those experiencing heavy flow
In conclusion, menstrual cups are a game changer for women’s health and hygiene. By giving menstrual cups a chance, women can take control of their menstrual health and contribute to a more sustainable future. So, ladies, make the switch to menstrual cups and experience the freedom, comfort, and peace of mind they offer!
