InstaTIP: 3 minutes on the advantages of individual menstrual aids

1. Pad is used very easily, is available in various sizes for variously heavy menstruation. Today even ecological, washable models are available. But it is not compatible with every type of panties and during sports it can be very uncomfortable, you can't swim with it at all for example. Some pad materials can cause allergic reactions.

2. Tampon will suit you during sports activities much more than a pad. You don't have to worry about friction, displacement, well and you can boldly use it even in the pool. With this aid, however, there is a risk of toxic shock syndrome, well and a less known fact is that it can dry out the vagina, as it absorbs not only blood, but also natural moisture with "good bacteria".

3. Menstrual cup ensures really high comfort, you can "wear" it up to 12 hours. So, during long and intense workouts it is useful, after swimming you don't even have to change it immediately, as is the case with a tampon (that absorbs pool water too). But you must know how to apply it correctly, and that requires practice. Since you can't just throw it away after removal, its use is associated with proper maintenance. But thanks to that it is environmentally friendly, which in today's world is a considerable advantage. Count on the fact that you won't find a suitable type and size for you right away.

4.  Menstrual panties are still often perceived as unhygienic aid, while with proper maintenance you don't have to have any worries. On the scale of ease of use, they definitely rank first. They are very comfortable and available for various figures, various intensity of menstruation and in various cuts. Just it is not certain that you will have to search for your favorite model longer.
