Ever wonder why we're still in the stone ages when it comes to feminine products? Probably because men invented the ones we still use today. If you google who invented the tampon, a man by the name of Earle Hass patented the first tampon with applicator in 1929. Since 1929 we've developed flat screen TV's, computers, and smartphones, yet we are still using an ancient version of a feminine product that was invented by someone who will never use it!
If you've ever used a tampon, you know they are the worst. They are awkward, gross, bad for the environment, and downright expensive. Honestly, the only reason they probably still exist in America is because they are a huge money maker. What a better way to boost the American economy than to have women spend $20 a month on feminine products? No wonder nobody knows about the marvelous and modern solution.
Menstrual cups can solve all of the problems that a tampon can't. They can't cause toxic shock syndrome, they are super comfortable, they don't leak, they are good for the environment, and they are cost efficient. They are literally the Lamborghini of feminine products. Well, compared to the ancient inventions we've been relying on since 1929.
No toxic shock! Yeah, that's right ladies. You don't have to worry about dying if you leave your menstrual cup in for too long. You have a super busy day and you know your cup hasn't filled up yet anyways? No worries, you can leave it in for 12 hours. Heck, you could leave it in for 24 hours if you wanted! That's the magic of silicone material. Modern, reusable, and clean.
These things are real comfy. Yeah, tampons are pretty uncomfortable sometimes. Every woman has experienced it. Have no fear, silicone is here. Yeah, this stuff is flexible, so it fits to you! You don't have to adjust yourself to it, it adjusts itself to you. Science.
You can actually trust that these things will keep a river of blood from getting all over your expensive clothes (If you are actually wearing something nice while on your period). This thing literally suctions into you if you've put it in correctly, and you can go swimming, go for a run, or even play some rugby. Don't you worry, this thing won't leak. It's silicone science.
These are great for the environment because they are reusable. Let's be honest, it's a plus that you aren't sending pounds of blood soaked cotton to the landfill every year. Instead, you are just cleaning the very modern and awesome period device you just invested in. Yeah, all you have to do to reuse it is boil some water and let it sit in the water for a minute or two. Sterilization magic! Don't have time to boil? Just wash it in soap and water so you can use it on the go.
Finally, they are cost efficient. You buy this one time and you can use it for years if you want. Some people prefer to buy one a year, but even so, you are saving a lot of money.
Overall, I would suggest menstrual cups to every woman I know. If you know me well, I've probably already given you my spiel. There's really no reason to use anything else. These things are magic and I will never go back to tampons. Don't forget, they are good for the environment, you can't get toxic shock, they don't leak, they are reusable and money saving, and they are comfy! Other countries are already popularly using them, so why not us? Let's stop feeding into this ridiculous capitalist society that wants women to pay $20 a month, and start using REAL feminine products.
