This prevents irritation, because few people are allergic to it. It is also very environmentally friendly, because you can use the cup for years. That saves a lot of tampons and sanitary towels! The cup does not absorb the menstrual blood, but catches it. It can absorb three times the amount of blood as a normal tampon, so it provides long-term protection, so you don't have to change it often. The cup can be used throughout your period, regardless of whether you have heavy or light periods. Once it is full, remove the cup from your body and pour the contents into the toilet. You can easily rinse it with some water and reinsert it.
