The $3 Menstrual Cup You Need + Tips
This post contains affiliate links
- I've mentioned. I wanted to be more eco friendly. My goal over the last couple of years has to be to give menstrual cups a try. This has taken me years to do. I’m not sure when menstrual cups started to become more popular. However, I just wasn’t ready to give them a try. I had a friend rave about them a couple of years ago. I would walk down the hygiene aisle and honestly for the price. I couldn’t see myself investing in a product that I wasn’t sure if I would use and like. I believe it was close to $30 for one cup. It wasn’t until I read a blog post a couple of years ago, and I learned that Amazon had them for the fraction of the price. I didn’t immediately buy the cup. It probably took me over a year. However, I’m happy that I did, I was able to buy my menstrual cup for under $7 and it actually came with two cups. I’m still new to the menstrual cup lifestyle. However, it has been a game-changer for my cycle.
- Now that I think about it. I think it all having during a shopping trip this year...During this whole epidemic, I went shopping online for tampons and I believe my favorite brand was out of stock of the size I wanted. I wasn’t sure If we would go on lockdown again, and honestly, I didn’t want to go without.
- This was one of my best decisions, once I got the hang of inserting these cups with the help of YouTube due to having an introverted uterus. The process has been so easy for me. At some point, I will like to try another cup for comparison purposes. For now, this works for me!
- If you are thinking of matching the switch. Do your research and read reviews and watch YouTube videos. Know, though I love this cup, I’ve never tried another so I honestly can not give my opinion on them.
Tips
- Always sanitize prior to using
- Properly clean & store ( I like to use Bronner Brothers to clean it)
- Research - Like, Price, Storage bag, and Size
- Smaller cups are made for the introverted uterus.
- If you have an introverted uterus, your insertion may be different.

I had no idea such a thing existed. It seems like a much cheaper, eco-friendlier way to handle this issue.
