Eco friendly?
So tampons are bad for the environment? :redface:

They either go to landfill or end up in the ocean. I doubt either one is great to be honest.

Isn't it possible to design one that is reusable and biodegradable? Or is society not bothered about it?
How do you feel that many women in prisons don't have access to proper menstrual hygiene services?

Probably, but women's "luxuries" aren't a high priority for society. I think its disgraceful that women in prisons dont have that access, same for homeless women. Also whenever I go grocery shopping I pick up a box of tampons and pads and take them to the local food bank, they're rarely donated and its surprising when you consider the cost that no one thought women who rely on food banks wouldn't need sanitary provisions.


Would you try this OP?:curious::curious::curious:

Can you have sex with it, or just oral?

No sex, you can have oral if you really want, I personally don't. There is a similar product called "Soft Cups" which you CAN have sex with in though

Why don't you have oral with it? it stops blood from draining, right?
Why aren't these available for men? Until the manstrual cup is available, I will be encouraging all females on TSR to boycott this divisive, matriarchal creation.

Such astounding privilege...

Because I just feel "ick" during my period. BF gets oral though XD



Menstruating is natural, but doing it in a cup? Wot?

What happens if you need to change it when you are out and about?

The cup can be used for up to 12 hours so thats not an issue but if you do, there are cup wipes and bottles of water you can get and then just clean it properly when you get home.

Not a cup like drinking cup though :wink: It's a medical grade silicone alternative to pads and tampons. Its better for your body.

Ikr I'm such a manophobe.
Sneaky bump
Did you get your cup to work properly straight away?
I bought one a while ago but could never get it to stop leaking

Well it is a menstrual cup so I'm sure men can find a use for them too.:confused:
How effective are they? Can't they leak/overflow?
obligatory mention that trans men exist and can and do get periods

I find these interesting, I have a friend who swears by her's but I could never use one since I can't even use tampons :frown:
