How does a menstrual cup work? Read the complete explanation!

If you are looking for an eco-friendly, reliable and comfortable solution for your menstruation, then it’s time to get acquainted with the menstrual cup. More and more women worldwide are discovering the benefits of this innovative product that makes your menstrual period a lot easier. But how does a menstrual cup actually work, and why switch from traditional menstrual products to something new? We at Beppy would love to explain it to you!

What is a menstrual cup?

A menstrual cup is a reusable cup made of soft and flexible material. Unlike tampons and pads, the menstrual cup captures menstrual blood without absorbing it. This allows the cup to be easily cleaned and reused after each menstrual cycle.

With an average lifespan of about six years, the menstrual cup is not only sustainable, but also environmentally friendly! Imagine, instead of the thousands of tampons or pads you would have to use during your lifetime, you only need to purchase a few cups! “Do we need to say more! After all, we could go on and on listing all the benefits!

The benefits of the Beppy menstrual cup

• Comfortable and flexible
  Our menstrual cup is designed with your comfort in mind. The soft, flexible material molds to your body so you hardly notice you are wearing the cup. Whether you’re exercising, sleeping, working or enjoying intimate moments with your partner, the Beppy menstrual cup remains comfortable and discreet!
• Reliable, day and night
  The leak-proof design of our menstrual cup ensures that you are protected all day and night. You don’t have to worry about leaking, even during intense activities. This makes it an ideal solution for women with active lifestyles. Unlike sanitary pads, which often involve discomfort and lack of hygiene, a menstrual cup offers a comfortable and discreet solution. Tampons, on the other hand, are often used too long, such as during the night, which increases the risk of toxic shock syndrome (TTS) can increase. This makes choosing the Beppy menstrual cup not only more reliable, but also much safer. Reason enough to switch, right? 😉
• Environmentally friendly and sustainable
  Choose our menstrual cup? Then you are doing your part for a cleaner planet. Traditional menstrual products such as tampons and pads create a lot of waste. The menstrual cup is reusable, so you produce less waste and contribute to a more sustainable future.
• Cost-effective
  Although the purchase price of a menstrual cup is higher than a pack of tampons or pads, you’ll save quite a bit of money in the long run. Because a cup lasts for years, you don’t have to keep spending money on traditional menstrual products. In short, it’s also a saving choice for your wallet!
• Healthy and safe
  Our menstrual cup is made of high-quality medical silicone that is safe for your body. This material prevents irritations and allergic reactions that can occur when using tampons or pads. It is free of harmful chemicals and other unwanted substances, making it a safe choice for you!
