It’s summer and you’ve probably counted a few times what day your next period starts. We know that many trips to the beach and pool parties are canceled or postponed because of the start of your period. However, you no longer have to worry about having to change your plans or having accidents during your period. So, if you’re wondering, can I get in the pool with the menstrual cup? The answer is: YES!
One of the main features of the menstrual cup is that the cup ensures that there is a void when the cup is inserted into the vaginal canal. This is a great advantage, the moment you jump into the water it does not let any moisture pass through. This means that you are not only protected from leaking in the water, but also outside of it. Moreover, the material of the menstrual cup ensures better hygiene when you enter the water. Although water comes in contact with the cup, the medical grade silicone material does not rust to impregnate. Thus, infections and irritations are prevented, as well as unpleasant odors.
In terms of comfort and discretion, the menstrual cup is one of the leaders in feminine hygiene products. Especially when it comes to using a cup in the sea or in a swimming pool. Because the cup is placed inside the vaginal canal, it is not noticeable from the outside. So you can just wear that swimsuit or bikini you’ve been wanting to put on for so long.
Unlike tampons, the menstrual cup has no string sticking out. This allows for more discretion. Also, the silicone in the cup is more flexible than a tampon, allowing you to swim and move easily without worrying or feeling uncomfortable.
Finally, don’t forget that you can use the menstrual cup for up to eight hours at a time so you can enjoy your walk to the beach without having to worry about finding a bathroom to change your intimate hygiene product. So, enjoy the summer without fear of staining!
