What can luse for my period instead of tampons?

If you don’t like using tampons, there are several safe and comfortable options:

1. Menstrual Cup

  • A reusable silicone cup that collects blood inside the vagina.

  • Worn up to 8–12 hours.

  • Eco-friendly, cost-saving, and reduces odor.
    👉 Example: NYXCollection Period Cups

2. Menstrual Disc

  • Similar to a cup but sits higher up, near the cervix.

  • Can be worn for up to 12 hours.

  • Some allow for mess-free period sex.

3. Period Underwear

  • Looks like regular underwear but has absorbent, leak-proof layers.

  • Can be worn alone or as backup with a cup/disc.

  • Reusable and comfortable.

4. Pads (Reusable or Disposable)

  • Disposable pads: Easy and convenient, but not eco-friendly.

  • Reusable cloth pads: Washable and eco-friendly alternative.

5. Sea Sponges (Menstrual Sponges)

  • A natural alternative that absorbs blood inside the vagina.

  • Less common, but some people prefer them.

✅ Bottom Line:
If tampons aren’t for you, try a menstrual cup, disc, or period underwear for a reusable and eco-friendly option. Pads remain a classic choice too.
