Menstrual cups are a better alternative to tampons and pads. They are not only cheaper and environmentally friendly but are also easy to use. The cups maintain good bacteria and vaginal pH and allow for more time between changes.However, like most things in life, menstrual cups aren't created equally - they vary in a range of ways - the same way human needs do. That's why you cannot settle for the first option that comes your way. You need to compare options to find out what works and what doesn't.
