Of course, this wonderful alternative has been around for more than 100 years , but it was not until recently that a few revolutionary women, fed up with traditional methods, began to use it and make it known.
Next, we will tell you what the menstrual cup really is, its composition, its characteristics and its advantages. We promise that when you finish reading this post you will know everything about it and, above all, you will be looking forward to trying it .
To the point... what is the menstrual cup for?
The menstrual cup is a container made of 100% hypoallergenic medical silicone that is inserted into the vagina during your period to collect the menstrual flow inside. Thanks to its format, it generates a vacuum effect that allows the cup to adapt to the vaginal walls and remain completely immobile, allowing us freedom of up to 12 hours .
It is reusable, that is, you can use the same cup for 10 years without having to buy any other menstrual hygiene supplement. Keep reading, this has just begun.
Advantages, and other wonders, of the menstrual cup
Currently, the menstrual cup is used by less than 10% of women despite the fact that most of us believe that it is the invention of the century. Helping the planet, taking care of your health and saving a lot of money are the main reasons why the cup is so great, do you want to know why?
You help the planet!
As we told you, the menstrual cup, unlike tampons and pads, is reusable! After each cycle, it is sterilized and can be used again for up to 10 years if you care for it correctly.
Each woman will save the world more than 7,500 kg of waste derived from its manufacturing . This is equivalent in weight to three large, large adult elephants! As if that were not enough, these wastes will take more than 300 years to disappear. of our planet... Don't you think we deserve better?

You take care of your health!
We will finally stop putting bleaches and toxins in our bodies! With the menstrual cup, you will notice how dryness, irritations, vaginal infections and that fear of forgetting it in there disappear. Medical silicone is intended to remain inside your body for a long period of time without posing a danger to your body or encouraging the growth of bacteria inside you.
You will see for yourself that period blood does not smell bad , because when it comes into contact with the toxins in tampons or with the oxygen in pads, it rots and gives off a bad smell. It's not your fault, it's his!
In addition, you will be able to measure the amount of blood you expel and you will be amazed to see that it is much less than you imagined. Tampons absorb, in addition to your menstrual flow, your vaginal discharge; so they swell so much that it is impossible to measure the ruler you have.
You save a lot of money!
Each woman uses an average of 12,000 tampons and 6,000 pads throughout her fertile life, meaning we spend about €5,000 throughout our fertile life. I'm sure you've missed a thousand and one better options in which to invest so much money.
How the menstrual cup works
Many women are afraid that the cup will fall, overflow, or get stuck inside their vagina. As soon as you understand how it works you will realize that all these situations will never happen.
The menstrual cup is flexible, so it adapts perfectly to your vaginal walls (if you have placed it correctly and if you have chosen the size correctly) and remains fixed even if you move. As you see in the image, its edge , its suction holes and its non-slip rings are responsible for generating the vacuum effect so that that grip is given.
To extract it, you must undo the vacuum effect by pressing the lower part of the body of the cup. In addition, it has a 16mm tail that will help you locate it while you press on the pelvic floor as if you were going to pee (although you can cut it if you prefer!).
Our GlupCup is designed in two colors: blue (22ml small size) for women who have not had a vaginal birth or are under 30 years old; and pink (large size 30ml), for women over 30 years old or who have had a vaginal birth.
