The menstrual cup to replace the menstrual tampon
Although the menstrual tampon has had its good years, there is more and more documentation of its use and the risks associated with it . Not to mention the many waste generated during its unpacking. To offer a new eco-responsible menstrual solution, several menstrual cups have been offered on the market. The most popular menstrual cups are generally the Nixit , held in store at Marie Fil and made in Canada, or the Diva cup. It can usually be worn for up to 12 hours depending on the menstrual flow of the woman wearing it. It will have to be removed, emptied and cleaned at least 2 to 3 times per 24 hours. Although very practical and durable, the menstrual cup can come with some damage. Especially when you start using it and you don't yet know how to position it properly.
