Sirona does menstrual cups in three sizes- small (18 ml), medium (20 ml), and large (30 ml). Younger women, and women with a small build and shallow cervix are advised to use the smaller sizes, while older women and women with a heavier flow are advised to use the large size.

Please Note: Menstrual Cups are priced higher than your average sanitary napkins, however, purchasing one is a one-time investment. Each cup is reusable and will last you for about six to eight months. All you need to do is clean it in running water during your cycle, and with a solution (available for most brands listed above), or in hot boiling water, at the end of your cycle. We suggest you read up about how to choose the right cup, depending on your age, built, and flow before purchasing one.

In my personal experience, I noticed that after the initial discomfort, it gets much better and more convenient than sanitary napkins, or even tampons.

Having said that, if you're still unsure about using menstrual cups and wish to stick to sanitary pads and napkins then we'd suggest going green with those as well. Here's are some top brands that sell sustainable, reusable and biodegradable pads that you can shop for online. You can also head over to Shop On LBB for intimate wipes, cramp relieving creams, sexual lubes and so much more.
