<p>The best part of using a menstrual cup is that you only need ONE menstrual product. Just a single menstrual cup, no matter how heavy your flow. The days of stuffing your house with pads and tampons are behind you, my friend!</p>

<p>Here are 10 more great reasons to make the switch from panty liners, pads, and tampons to a menstrual cup:</p>

<p>Menstrual cups are cheap and you can get one for as low as ₦2000. You won't also need to keep buying disposable products.</p>

<p>Menstrual cups are reusable and can last for many years if used with care. Unlike disposable pads and tampons that can only be used once.</p>

<h3><strong>Lasting protection</strong></h3>

<p>A menstrual cup can be worn for up to 12 hours, depending on your flow. This means fewer trips to the bathroom and fewer stains or hassles during the day.</p>

<h3><strong>Leak-proof&nbsp;</strong></h3>

<p>When inserted correctly, menstrual cups, unlike pads are great at preventing leaks, even during physical activities like sports or workouts. You can sleep, bathe, or swim while wearing your cup.</p>

<p>Unlike tampons, which can sometimes cause odours due to blood exposure to air, menstrual cups lock in odours, keeping you feeling fresh and comfortable.</p>

<p>Once the cup is properly locked in, you'll hardly notice its presence. Can't say the same about the discomfort and irritation that can come from using pads or tampons.</p>

<h3><strong>Less irritation</strong></h3>

<p>Menstrual cups don't contain the chemicals or fragrances found in some disposable products, which can cause skin irritation.</p>

<p>Since menstrual cups hold more than tampons, you can leave them on all night without having to think about changing every four hours.</p>
