What Disposable Period Cup Is Best for Beginners?

Beginners can try slim or thin options, such as the FLEX slim fit beginner menstrual cup, since this kind of form-fitting period cup is made to fit most bodies. As a beginner, look for soft materials as well as smaller sizes, so you can try a more comfortable option that works better with your body as it adjusts to using a menstrual cup. 

If you already use tampons, you may want to try a larger menstrual cup or a menstrual disc, which provides additional flexibility for variable flow throughout your cycle. If you're over 30 or have had a child previously, you may want to consider an alternative, such as the DivaCup, because it takes into consideration changes in the size, shape and sensitivity of the vaginal canal. 

What Are the Advantages of Disposable Menstrual Cups? 

Reduce irritation, cut down on vaginal dryness and save money by choosing disposable menstrual cups as your preferred feminine care product. Menstrual cups are normally more affordable than tampons and pads in the long term, even when disposable, since they can be worn longer. They cause less mess and odor, so you can feel more comfortable while wearing them and when swapping them out. Since these cups aren't made with cotton or irritating materials, they also reduce irritation and vaginal dryness when compared to other insertable period products. 

How Long Can You Wear a Disposable Period Cup? 

Most disposable period cups can be worn up to 12 hours, while tampons are typically worn no longer than 4-8 hours. That means menstrual cups provide at least 4 additional hours of wear and a cost savings over time.  

Disposable menstrual cups are designed for one-time use. For longer-term use, other options, such as reusable menstrual cups, can be used instead. Reusable menstrual cups are made with flexible, comfortable plastics. If you have allergies, select latex-free period cups to keep yourself free from irritation.
