Your Guide to Menstrual Cups: A Sustainable and Comfortable Period Solution

Your Guide to Menstrual Cups: A Sustainable and Comfortable Period Solution

Periods are a natural part of life, but discomfort and inconvenience it causes can be helped. Menstrual cups offer a sustainable, cost-effective, and healthier alternative to traditional menstrual products. If you're considering switching to a menstrual cup, or simply curious about how they work, this guide is for you.

What is a Menstrual Cup?

A menstrual cup is a small, flexible, reusable cup usually made from medical-grade silicone. The medical grade silicone is used for its biocompatibility. As a cup, it catches flow as opposed to absorbing it like pads or tampons.


Benefits of Using a Menstrual Cup

  • Eco-friendly: menstrual cups can be used for 4-8 years, mitigating over 2,000 pads or tampons going into landfills during this time
  • Cost-effective: A one-time purchase can save hundreds of dollars over time
  • Healthier choice: No harmful chemicals, bleaches, or fragrances. Reduces the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS)
  • Long-lasting protection: Can be worn for up to 12 hours, providing all-day or all-night protection
  • More comfortable: When inserted correctly, you shouldn't feel the cup at all

How to Use a Menstrual Cup

  1. Sterilize: Boil in water for 5-10 minutes before first use and after each cycle
  2. Wash hands: Clean hands prevent infections
  3. Fold: Use a C-fold or punch-down fold
  4. Insert: Gently insert the folded cup into the vagina canal, sitting, squatting, or standing
  5. Remove: Pinch the base, break the seal, and slowly pull out. Empty, rinse, and reinsert
  6. Clean and store: Sterilize after your period and store in a breathable pouch

Choosing the Right Menstrual Cup

Consider your cervix height, flow, and desired firmness when selecting a cup. Our Halo Cups are designed for the average cervix height.

Overcoming Common Challenges

  • Leakage: Ensure the cup is fully opened and sealed. Try a different size if needed

  • Inserting and removing: Practice makes perfect!

It took me a decade to realise that my ‘normal’ was a disease

It took me a decade to realise that my ‘normal’ was a disease

The first time they opened me up, they found Stage 3 endometriosis. Although I’d been in pain most of my life, it was only less than a year before the surgery that I curiously Googled endometriosis for the first time and had a hunch that this might be me. Endometriosis is a progressive, life-long disease when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows in unwelcome places. It takes an average of 7-9 years to diagnose and affects about 10% of people assigned female at birth. For a decade, this disease was growing on my ovaries, my bowel and behind my uterus. Every month, these tissues got inflamed, scarring and fusing my pelvic organs together, but menstruating and being in pain come hand in hand, right? I was raised to believe that pain was normal, that having a week struck off every month was normal, that somehow painful bowel motions were normal. Retrospectively, it’s delusional, but when you live that reality every day you learn to keep going. The cost of this is huge, and finances are only one part of it. When you practise something a lot you become an expert at it, whether it’s a good or bad thing. My body became really good at finding ways to feel pain even when there wasn’t an anatomical reason for it. Over time I developed vaginismus and vulvodynia – conditions that suited my parents’ prescription of chastity. I’ve stopped having my periods and have had the disease excised, but to this day a sharp pang strikes under my belly, and I sit here writing this with the feeling of a hot poker lodged into my hip. In the year of my diagnosis, endometriosis cost me $21,825.95, spent on surgery, specialist appointments, Chinese and Western medicine, ultrasounds, pelvic physiotherapy, and GP consultations. I’m lucky to have had health insurance at that time, but it may not be the last time endometriosis costs me thousands because there is no cure. I remember the feeling of waking up from my laparoscopy and feeling the right number of bandages on my belly to indicate that they had found endometriosis. Thank god there was a reason I felt terrible for so long. For a while, I worried that maybe I was making it up. Maybe I was wasting everyone’s time. Ultrasounds can only find an extent of endometriosis, and as far as mine had gone, there weren’t any alarm bells. I didn’t want to share how awful I was feeling in case it wasn’t real. This diagnosis did wonders for my self-confidence. Being in the pre-diagnosis stage is the hardest. I lurked on Reddit threads to find a sense of solace and understanding, while turning up appointment after appointment with a well-practised script to keep moving forward to a diagnosis. You’re deflecting well-meaning advice and managing your symptoms while they’re at their worst. In this time, community is needed. Someone who will make you feel validated is needed. People who know what they are talking about are needed. And while the wait until a diagnosis is long, these are the people who may help that time feel shorter. - Eda Tang

My Journey with IBS: Navigating Life's Ups and Downs Through Gut Health

My Journey with IBS: Navigating Life's Ups and Downs Through Gut Health

It all started when I was 10, although I never quite thought anything of it because it was all I knew. To feel uncomfortable in my stomach as if there was constantly a hard rock inside for days to weeks of stool build up… gross? I know. The consequence? Brain fog and laziness. Let’s break down the common types of IBS; IBS C- constipation & IBS D- diarrhea. In my case, IBS-C was not detected for a long time until years of uncomfortable experiences passed by. When you’re a kid, you don’t care that you haven’t been to the bathroom for a week because all you want to do is play and hangout with your friends. The earliest I remember having trouble with my gut was at age 10. Having to constantly sit on the toilet for 20 minutes waiting for stool to pass, however it never really did… not comfortably anyway. Going into highschool, I cared about what I looked like- who didn’t? My reality is that I looked puffy. Not fat, but a bit puffy or slightly chubby. I now know that this was all water-weight and bloating. When you’re constipated, your body holds onto water to balance out the effects of a slow digestive system. I held onto water consistently for up to 10 years. I started to realise that perhaps going to the bathroom 1-2 times a week was not normal. I started to hate exercise from the sheer fact that I felt like I was carrying the weight of the world in my stomach, constantly making me feel heavy and lazy. Dramatic… I know. But when you’re supposed to be at the peak of your athletic age at 17 and instead, you’re feeling like you're carrying a shit baby in your stomach, it’s extremely uncomfortable. This led to the experimentation of all different types of diets: keto, vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten-free, veganism, low FODMAP. None of which worked.At this point, I had tried running and HIIT workouts, which I hated. If anything, it stressed me out because: My situation didn’t improve. Because it wasn’t improving, it stressed me out. And if there’s one thing I've learned, it’s that stress is a massive culprit. To this day, it’s not “solved”. But I can say that it has gotten a lot better. Take what you need, but what I've learnt is that increasing fiber more than needed to was not my answer, drinking a gallon of water was not my answer, and going vegan wasn’t my answer either. What did help was eating wholefood diets that focused on high protein, eating meals instead of snacking, 3-4 liters a day, weightlifting 3-5 times a week, walking 30 minutes a day and keeping stress to minimum, and giving myself grace when there’s no bowel movements for a few days. Although having IBS-C is not ideal, it’s not all bad. It taught me to take extra care of my health and taught me a lot about nutrition. Desperate times call for desperate measures and in my case, I despised exercise, however I found myself at the gym, lifting weights trying to reduce my IBS-C symptoms. Along the way, I found a love for weight lifting, which I wouldn't have eluded to hadn’t I tried to tackle IBS-C.My water-weight is gone, my bloating is a lot less frequent, and I’ve gained great muscle mass. What more could a girl want? My IBS no longer controls me, but I control it. - Ti’ama K.

Jet-set and flow: period travel trips (with examples)

Jet-set and flow: period travel trips (with examples)

Traveling is one of life’s greatest joys—exploring new places, trying exotic foods, and immersing yourself in different cultures. But, if you’re someone who menstruates, the thought of dealing with your period while traveling can add a layer of stress to your plans. Fear not! With a bit of preparation and the right menstrual product, you can make your travels smoother and more enjoyable.   The Challenge of Finding Tampons in Asia Imagine this: you’re backpacking through the vibrant streets of Bangkok or exploring the ancient temples of Kyoto. Suddenly, you realize you need a tampon. In many parts of Asia, finding tampons can be quite the challenge. Unlike in Western countries, tampons are not as widely available, and when they are, the selection can be limited. A menstrual cup can be a lifesaver when traveling through regions where tampons are hard to come by. Not only does it save you from the frantic search for menstrual products, but it also frees up space in your luggage for more souvenirs!Ah, the rumoured squatting toilets. If you've ever seen a "no squatting on toilet bowl" sign, and wondered where it originated from, Asia might be it. Whilst I personally liked it (okay, I kinda loved it - when you're hiking through Laos, and dreading using a public toilet in the forest, then find out the 'seat' is pretty much on the ground and all you gotta do is squat and your butt doesn't touch the bowl, you feel relieved), any chance to not have to change out a pad/tampon is great.    Navigating Bathrooms in Europe Europe is a dream destination for many, with its rich history, stunning architecture, and delicious cuisine. However, one thing to keep in mind is that in some European countries, like France, you may need to pay to use public bathrooms. While it’s usually a small fee, it can be inconvenient, especially if you’re on your period and need to change your tampon or pad 3,4,5+ times a day. This is where a menstrual cup shines. A period cup can be worn for up to 12 hours, meaning fewer bathroom trips. Whether you’re wandering through the charming streets of Paris or lounging on the sun-soaked beaches of the Mediterranean, a period cup allows you to focus on enjoying your Euro summer without the constant worry of finding a restroom. Tips for Using a Period Cup While Traveling Practice Before You Go: If you’re new to using a menstrual cup, it’s a good idea to practice at home before your trip. This way, you’ll be comfortable with inserting, removing, and cleaning it. Pack a Small Kit: Bring a small travel pouch with essentials like your sterilising case, mild soap, and wet wipes. These items will help you keep your cup clean and ready to use. Know Your Bathroom Options: Do a bit of research on the bathroom situation in your travel destinations. Knowing whether public restrooms are readily available or if you’ll need to pay can help you plan better - some places take cash only. Stay Hydrated and Healthy: Traveling can sometimes throw off your regular routine, so make sure to drink plenty of water and maintain a balanced diet. Staying healthy can help keep your menstrual cycle on track. Embrace the Freedom Traveling with your period doesn’t have to be a hassle. With a menstrual cup, you gain the freedom to explore the world without the constant worry of finding menstrual products or making frequent bathroom stops. Plus, you’re making an eco-friendly choice that benefits the planet. So, whether you’re trekking through the lush landscapes of Asia or savoring the sights and sounds of a Euro Summer, let your period cup be your trusty travel companion. Bon voyage, mon ami!
