We females do not look forward to menstrual week at all.
Tampon, pads and menstrual cups are a necessity when Aunt Flo pays a visit. Most women — nearly 70 percent — opt to go the tampon route when they have their periods. A menstrual cup can be worn for up to 10 hours at a time (versus a maximum of eight hours for tampons) and are reusable, so they produce far less waste. Normally, a woman throws out up to 300 pounds of pads, plugs and applicators in her lifetime.
Introducing the Lily Cup, created by Intimina! The cup is collapsible, so it can be folded flat onto itself (and is therefore super discreet). According to the founders, the Lily Cup can do the job of over 1,625 pads or tampons – that’s a lot of periods’ worth.
The cup comes in two sizes — one for women who haven’t given birth and one for those who have, and it is made of a thin but sturdy silicon. The cups cost only $40 each!
