Roughly, 70% of women in India use pads. In her lifetime, women would probably use up to 16,000 pads. Pads are the most commonly used menstrual products in the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some manufacturers bleach pad using chlorine dioxide, producing trace amounts of toxic chemical, called dioxin. As a result, you are unknowingly absorbing bleach through the vagina. Also, the average women produce roughly 62,415 pounds of waste menstrual products. So, why still use pads? let\u2019s look at the alternatives that women can rely on, during their periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1.<\/strong> \t<strong>Tampons<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"358\" height=\"288\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Tampons.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-348513 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Tampons.jpg 358w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Tampons-300x241.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Tampons-313x252.jpg 313w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 358px) 100vw, 358px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 358px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 358\/288;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"358\" height=\"288\" src=\"https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Tampons.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-348513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Tampons.jpg 358w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Tampons-300x241.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Tampons-313x252.jpg 313w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 358px) 100vw, 358px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It is another way for you to absorb menstrual blood; highly used in USA and Europe, when compared to India. The blood absorption is done inside the vagina through tampons. It is basically made up of an absorbent material which is pressed into the cylindrical shape so that it can be inserted into the vagina. Once the tampon receives the menstrual fluid, it starts expanding. Most of the tampons come with the string at the other end, which hangs outside the vagina and helps in the removal process. However, you will have to change the tampons every 6-7 hours after the insertion.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2.<\/strong> \t<strong>A menstrual cup<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"403\" height=\"294\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/menstural-cups.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-348514 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/menstural-cups.jpg 403w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/menstural-cups-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/menstural-cups-90x67.jpg 90w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/menstural-cups-364x266.jpg 364w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/menstural-cups-313x228.jpg 313w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 403px) 100vw, 403px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 403px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 403\/294;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"403\" height=\"294\" src=\"https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/menstural-cups.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-348514\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/menstural-cups.jpg 403w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/menstural-cups-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/menstural-cups-90x67.jpg 90w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/menstural-cups-364x266.jpg 364w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/menstural-cups-313x228.jpg 313w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 403px) 100vw, 403px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The most disgusting thing about pads and tampons is changing them just after a few hours again and again! Want to be free from the feeling that you are not on periods and have that satisfaction that you are not bleeding? Then, opt for a menstrual cup which is pocket-friendly and extremely eco-friendly and can be re-used for almost 5 years! A menstrual cup is a flexible rubbery cup made out of silicon which has natural antibacterial properties, and it doesn\u2019t absorb anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The procedure followed in using menstrual cups:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>1. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fold the cup in half, so that it takes the shape of the letter \u201cU\u201d or \u201cC\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insert the folded cup into the vagina. The cup unfolds naturally once inside and is ready to receive the menstrual blood as it reaches the vagina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The cup can be taken out after 10-12 hours. The cup can then be washed and reused<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.<\/strong> \t<strong>Flex Rings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"606\" height=\"342\" data-src=\"https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/pasted-image-0-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-348515 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/pasted-image-0-1-1.jpg 606w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/pasted-image-0-1-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/pasted-image-0-1-1-192x108.jpg 192w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/pasted-image-0-1-1-384x216.jpg 384w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/pasted-image-0-1-1-364x205.jpg 364w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/pasted-image-0-1-1-561x317.jpg 561w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/pasted-image-0-1-1-313x177.jpg 313w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 606px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 606\/342;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"606\" height=\"342\" src=\"https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/pasted-image-0-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-348515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/pasted-image-0-1-1.jpg 606w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/pasted-image-0-1-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/pasted-image-0-1-1-192x108.jpg 192w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/pasted-image-0-1-1-384x216.jpg 384w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/pasted-image-0-1-1-364x205.jpg 364w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/pasted-image-0-1-1-561x317.jpg 561w, https:\/\/dailyjag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/pasted-image-0-1-1-313x177.jpg 313w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This product is a middle ground between menstrual cups and tampons. Unlike menstrual cups, they are completely disposable and you don\u2019t have to wash and reuse them. You can squeeze the flex ring in half and insert it into the vagina. Once after the insertion, it comfortably stays in for up to 12 hours, even on your heaviest days.
