Take your menstrual cup to the beach, the pool and your summer excursions without fear. Although tampons were the first alternative to enjoy the beach and the pool, their benefits do not outweigh their drawbacks. Tampons contain many bleaches and toxins such as rayon that are in constant contact with our bodies. In addition, apart from absorbing the menstrual flow, it also has the same effect with the natural humidity of the vagina, which can cause dryness, small wounds and lead to infections. It is also added that the tampon string will absorb everything that the water has (and we already know that it is not always very clean).
Nor should we forget that leaving tampons wet for a long time favors the appearance of bacteria, so it is important to change them whenever possible when you get out of the water. The same goes for the bathing suit, you should not spend a lot of time with wet presses in the vaginal area. What about the menstrual cup?
Can I take a bath with the menstrual cup?
There are many doubts about the use of the cup on the beach or the pool. The menstrual cup, if it is well placed and has made the empty effect, prevents the water from entering so that in no case will the cup overflow. That is why it makes it the best alternative for summer days. You can also swim and do water sports without any problem, as we always say it is off-road, also in summer.
On days when the flow is not too abundant, it will last up to 12 hours, so you can even wait until you get home to change or take advantage of lunch at the beach bar. In the case of excursions, the same thing happens. If you plan an excursion with different phases, the cup gives you freedom to do longer phases than pads or tampons.
