But, for the female population, there is always a but. “What if I have my period at the seaside?” And immediately the thought goes to the absorbent: “Will it be noticed? Could I get dirty? Could you see? ”. This also applies to the swabbecause after taking a bath, soaks in water and the result is that you have to rush to change. The use of the cupinstead, it shields you from these concerns because there is no kind of interference with water. It is designed to isolate the area thanks to the “vacuum” effect and therefore avoid any kind of loss. Not to mention the longer times in the water and in the sungiven the capacity of the cup itself, studied according to the level of absorbency », explains the Doctor Manuela Farris, gynecologist and Director of the SIC Italian Society of Contraception.
Menstruation at the sea: free from conditioning
«The use of cups allows a freedom never experienced, not even with tampons. A very recurring example of my patients is related the impossibility of having a bathroom available to change the tampon or tampon. It is not the tampon or tampon itself but the opportunity to no longer depend on these supports which dispenses the woman and her body from thought and discomfort. If it is a normal flowthe quantity is approximately one average of 2-3 up to 5-6 tbsp.
