Are Women's Haven™️ menstrual cups best for you?

In recent years, menstrual cups have become more popular as an alternative to pads and tampons because they are less wasteful and cost less. We know its popular, because the Women's Haven™️ Menstrual Cup is in demand. But why should women who have not yet tried our products, consider making the switch? Let's take a closer look at the benefits and potential drawbacks of using menstrual cups.

Overview of Menstrual cups

The rave among women seeking safer alternatives for feminine care is a small, flexible cup made of medical-grade silicone or latex rubber. The soft silicone menstrual cup is usually bell shaped. In fact, most menstrual cups are bell shaped, but they can be made in different shapes, like a menstrual disc or ball cup. The menstrual cup is made to catch and hold the flow instead of soaking it up like a pad or tampon.

Menstrual Cup Sizes and handle options

Generally, you would find at least two sizes of menstrual cup size, small cup, and large cup, you may find different sizes as well. Of all the period products, the menstrual cup is unique because you can find it as a reusable menstrual cup. The disposable options for the menstrual cup are available and very popular, however, these options do not advance the eco-friendly goals of the reusable menstrual cup.

Women's Haven™️ Reusable menstrual cup

While you may read about three sizes for a menstrual cup, there are factors to consider to determine what would be best for different vaginas and low cervixes. For the Women's Haven™️ brand, the focus isn't on the three handle options, although they are high capacity. Rather, we focus on the needs of Caribbean women and their cervix, which is reflective of most of the world. We offer a medium size, and a large size. Our medium size is a smaller size, so you can get the benefit of a smaller cup. When our clients understand their bodies and let us know that they have a low cervix, we have specific advice on how to use the medium menstrual cup. Most importantly, the Women's Haven™️ menstrual cup is made from medical-grade silicone. This is an important difference because a 37-year-old woman got a vaginal infection after using a latex menstrual cup, according to a 2018 case report in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology Canada. Again, you must remember that medical-grade silicone is the only material in the Women's Haven™️ product.

The science of the development of women and the maturity of the vaginal canal was considered in the size of the menstrual cup offered. The measurement of the Women's Haven™️ menstrual cup is perfectly designed for the vaginal canal of the Caribbean woman regardless of her physical size. If you know women who have used smaller sizes in the menstrual cup, we are sure ours will work.

Benefits:

• Environmental sustainability: Soft Silicone menstrual cups, like Women's Have️n, are reusable and can last for years, which reduces the amount of waste generated by traditional menstrual products.
• Cost-effectiveness: While menstrual cups have a higher upfront cost, they can save money in the long run since they do not need to be replaced as frequently as pads and tampons, and the Women's Haven™️ branch can last up to 10 years.
• Convenience: It is important to note that almost all menstrual cups can be worn for up to 12 hours, unless the manufacturer says otherwise, which means fewer trips to the bathroom to change products. Additionally, the menstrual cup is purse ready and will fit comfortably in your bag.
• Comfort: Menstrual cups are made from soft, flexible materials that are designed to conform to the body, which surprisingly can make them more comfortable to wear than pads or tampons. Unlike tampons, a menstrual cup will not cause discomfort with your vaginal walls.

Potential drawbacks:

• Learning curve: Some women, especially first-time users, may find it difficult to comfortably fit, insert and remove the menstrual cup at first, and it may take some practice to get it past the pubic bone. Don't worry, you get used to it.
• Health risks: While menstrual cups are generally considered safe devices, there is a small risk of infection if the cup is not properly cleaned and sterilized between uses. Unlike tampons, the use of a menstrual cup has not been generally associated with toxic shock syndrome.
• Fit: It can be challenging to find the right size and shape of menstrual cup that works best for your body. You have to find the best menstrual cup fit for you. The goal is to find your goldilocks cup by examining a few different sizes.

Despite these potential drawbacks, menstrual cups are generally safe devices and effective for most women. In fact, a study published in the Journal of Women's Health found that menstrual cups were just as effective as traditional menstrual products for preventing leaks and discomfort during menstruation. If you are not yet convinced, ask your ob gyn? Let's look at a practical example.

Reasons to consider Women's Haven™️ menstrual cup

Yeast infections are a common concern for many women, especially during their menstrual cycle. However, using a menstrual cup may actually help reduce the risk of yeast infections. A study published in the Journal of Lower Genital Tract Disease found that menstrual cups were associated with a significantly lower risk of vaginal candidiasis (yeast infections) compared to tampons.

One reason for this may be that menstrual cups do not absorb menstrual blood, which can create a moist environment that promotes the growth of yeast. In contrast, menstrual cups collect menstrual blood, which can help maintain a more balanced pH and reduce the risk of infection.

Additionally, the best menstrual cup, like the Women's Haven brand are made from medical-grade silicone or latex, which are non-porous materials that do not promote the growth of bacteria or yeast. This can be beneficial for women who are prone to recurrent yeast infections.

Of course, it's important to note that using the best menstrual cup or menstrual disc alone may not completely eliminate the risk of yeast infections. Other factors such as hygiene practices, diet, and lifestyle habits can also contribute to the development of yeast infections. If you don't treat your Yoni like it is sacred, you will be sick. Always honor the divine!

Are you ready to use menstrual cups?

Research has shown that, when used correctly, the use of a menstrual cup can help maintain healthy pH levels in the vagina and protect against yeast overgrowth. This is because the evidence we have now suggests that menstrual cups may be safe and a good way to lower the risk of yeast infections. If you are experiencing repeated yeast infections or other vaginal health issues, go and see an ob gyn, or visit a free women's clinic to take care of your Yoni.
