Are menstrual cups more effective than sanitary pads?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I found that menstrual cups are eco-friendly as they can be reused. There are so many posts that make my mind switch to a menstrual cup. Are they more effective than sanitary pads? Kindly suggest.
Hi.
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Happy to see someone thinking of eco-friendly products. Indeed menstrual cups should be preferred, especially by those using tampons. Menstrual cups can avoid a rare, dangerous toxic shock syndrome in people using tampons. It can be reused. Menstrual cup use should be encouraged as they are eco-friendly and reusable.
Thank you.
