5 Ways Menstrual Cups Are Revolutionizing Period Care

Niketa is a 25-year-old woman with an active and busy lifestyle, as she works in an MNC. Long team meetings, conference calls, and  looming deadlines are a part of her daily life. But today feels different. It is more challenging than her usual days at work. 

Why?

Because she is on her period!

Although she tries to give her best in the presentation, she cannot stop worrying over the discomfort of the pad or the anxiety of possible leaks. The frustration creeps in as she struggles to juggling her professional life while managing her period. 

We surmise you can see Nikita in yourself—resonating with her challenges, right?

Let Smart Hygeia introduce you to something life-changing: a menstrual cup.

Menstrual cycles have always been a part of a woman’s life; however, with menstrual cups, women are revolutionizing the way they manage their periods.

Now that we are more aware of the environmental impact of using tampons and sanitary pads, women are happily shifting to using a period cup, which is convenient to carry, reusable, and an eco-friendly product with absolutely no health risks. 

Let’s read this blog and explore the ways menstrual cups are transforming period care in the 21st century for modern women. 

  1. No Frequent Changes: Countless women in India feel the urge to change the pads or tampons, as these traditional period products do not have a high absorbency level as compared to a period cup which has a higher fluid collecting capacity. 

You can wear a menstrual cup for upto 6 to 8 hours without the fear of leakage and discomfort. This makes it ideal for women with busy lifestyles, travelling jobs, long workdays, or overnight use. It actually gives women the freedom they truly deserve, the freedom to live their lives without the worry of frequent changes. 

  1. Fulfills the Promise of Sustainability: Future menstrual care is all about sustainability. We have already wreaked havoc on the planet with the disposal waste of sanitary pads and tampons every year. 

This is the time for massive change. Women use pads and tampons once and throw them away, contributing to huge waste. However, these menstrual cups are reusable. A single menstrual cup can last up to 8 to 10 years with proper care and sterilization technique.

Along with offering the best menstrual cup, Smart Hygeia has designed a Savvy Menstrual Cup Sterilizing Container. This product keeps your period cup free from germs and bacteria. 

  • Economical Choice in the Long Run: No doubt, menstrual cups have a higher initial cost, but for at least 8 years, you won’t have to spend a dime. Since this revolutionary product is reusable, it saves you a lot of money in the long run. 

  • On the other hand, while traditional period products may seem cheaper than a period cup, the cumulative cost of buying a box of tampons or a packet of pads every month throughout your menstrual years adds up to a significant amount. Think about it!

  • No Health Risks: Crafted from medical-grade silicone, these menstrual cups are safe to use as compared to some disposable products, which can contain harmful chemicals or synthetic fibers. 

  • There have been studies about the risk of developing Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) with the long-term use of tampons. On the other hand, menstrual cups are gentle on your body and can be easily inserted into the vagina to collect the menstrual flow without posing any health issues. 

  • Comfortable & Leak-Free Protection: The discomfort of wearing a pad or a tampon is not an unknown experience to women. They go through it every month. But the sad part is that they are accustomed to this discomfort, accepting it as a part of their life.

  • Smart Hygeia wants to change a woman’s period experience. It doesn’t have to be a stressful process wherein a menstruating woman goes to work, plays a sport, or does an exercise with a constant thought in mind: what if my pad leaks?

    We are happy to be bringing that significant shift slowly but steadily. Now many women in India use menstrual cups and find them more comfortable than pads or tampons once they get used to them. 

    Menstrual cups are flexible, providing a snug fit. If inserted correctly, they create a seal that prevents leaks, even during heavy flow days.
