Menstrual Cups & Discs: An Alternative to Tampons & Pads {{ currentPage ? currentPage.title : "" }}

Have you been looking for ways to introduce more sustainable practices into your life? Or maybe you recently heard the news about toxic metals found in tampons? If you’ve been looking for alternatives to tampons and pads, look no further. 

Menstrual cups, also known as period cups, are reusable menstrual cups that catch your flow rather than collect it like a tampon. They sit in the vaginal canal and form a seal to stay in place. Unlike tampons, cups can be worn for up to 12 hours. A reusable menstrual cup can hold as much as 3 regular tampons or 2 pads, so they’re the perfect way to reduce waste and stay protected from leaks! If you want to switch to a cup for period care, this Cup and Disc Quiz is a great place to start.

A reusable menstrual disc that is similar to a period cup, but sits slightly higher up and doesn’t rely on a seal to stay in place. Because of their shape, the menstrual disc has a much higher capacity than pads and tampons! Some menstrual discs can even hold as much as 6 regular tampons or 4 pads. 

Learn: menstrual cup vs. disc

The main choice between a cup and a disc is a personal preference, but the choice between reusables and disposables is clear. By switching to reusables, you can save hundreds of dollars, end visits to the period aisle, and make a healthy choice for your body and the planet.
