Blissful Women Menstrual Cup : A menstrual cup is a menstrual hygiene device, which is inserted into the vagina during periods, to collect menstrual blood. Blissful Women menstrual cups are an eco-friendly alternative to sanitary pads & tampons.
Why to switch?
On an average, a woman (between the ages of 13 and 51) has her menstruation for 3-7 days. This means a woman lives through 6.25 years of period (2,280 days) in her life. A woman make those days, in India, typically, disposes over 10,000 tampons/pads in her menstrual life cycle.
The problem of proper disposal of sanitary waste is a bigger concern in India. Menstrual products like tampons, pads, panty-liners, etc. take years to decay as a majority of them use up to 90 per cent plastic or non-degradable material. Pads, in particular, take over 500-800 years to decompose.
