Tampons are still<\/strong> the current internal protection method of choice for most people<\/strong>.


Partly because<\/strong> of the advertisement they receive<\/strong> \u2013 they are taught in schools and in health education classes\u2026


 and partly because<\/strong> you see them in literally every shopping centre<\/strong> and pharmacy regardless of what country you live in.


Watching a film and a girl is on her period? I can bet that there is a tampon product plac<\/strong>ement in that shot.


It is true that cup<\/a>s have come a long way


(fun fact: they are not such a new phenomenon <\/strong>as you would like to imagine. The first patented and usable menstrual cup has been around since 1932<\/strong>)


 but most people are still not sure how to use them and why they should choose a period cup over a tampon<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>

So here is a quick table that highlights the main differences<\/strong>:

Depending on what menstrual cup you use, they can hold between three to six times more<\/strong> than the average tampon.

So if you have a pretty heavy period, cups<\/a> are the way to go<\/strong> because you can go longer in between having to change the period cup.<\/p>

\"menstrual<\/figure>

Granted, menstrual cups have a much higher learning curve<\/strong> than the tampon.  With the tampon you just kind of shove it in while you have to get used to folding the cup<\/strong><\/a>.


 I am aware that here at Lali team we are a little biased, but that is because LaliCup<\/a> is more convenient<\/strong> in the long run, more eco-friendly<\/strong>, more comfortable and do not irritate like tampons<\/strong>.


Just ask your amazing cup-using friend if they would like to switch back to tampons. I can bet, that the answer would be a firm no.
