Debunking Menstrual Cup Myths: Get the Facts Straight with PureCup

Busting Common Misconceptions to Promote Menstrual Health

Menstrual cups, despite being a sustainable and health-conscious option for menstrual care, often face some misconceptions. At PureCup, we want you to make informed decisions about your menstrual health. That's why we're here to debunk some common myths about menstrual cups.

Myth 1: Menstrual Cups are Uncomfortable

Fact: When inserted correctly, you shouldn't feel the menstrual cup at all. It may take a little practice to learn how to insert and remove your cup comfortably, but once you get the hang of it, you may find it's even more comfortable than tampons or pads.

Myth 2: Menstrual Cups are Not Safe

Fact: Menstrual cups like PureCup are made from medical-grade silicone, which is hypoallergenic and safe for use in the body. Plus, unlike tampons, menstrual cups carry no risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS).

Myth 3: Menstrual Cups are Difficult to Clean

Fact: Cleaning a menstrual cup is straightforward. All you need to do is wash it with warm water and mild, fragrance-free soap. Every few cycles, you can boil your cup for complete sterilisation.

Myth 4: Menstrual Cups Can Get Lost Inside You

Fact: Your menstrual cup can't get lost inside you. While it might travel up a little higher in your vagina, you can easily retrieve it with a little patience and relaxation.

Myth 5: You Can't Be Active While Wearing a Menstrual Cup

Fact: You can do nearly everything with a menstrual cup in place, including exercising, swimming, and even sleeping. The secure seal prevents leaks, giving you the freedom to move without worry.
