Hey @Sexologist_DrKalps What purpose does a menstrual cup serve, and is it really a better option than pads? Reflecting on my own journey, I initially relied solely on pads to manage my menstrual cycle. However, my curiosity was piqued when I stumbled upon an advertisement for menstrual cups as a teenager. Intrigued, I delved into research about them, enticed by the prospect of extended wear compared to pads. Despite my initial hesitation to broach the topic with my mother, I decided to explore this alternative. I'm looking for advice and especially interested in hearing about your experiences

Personally, the switch to using a menstrual cup has been a game changer for me. For a person who is busy throughout the day, and also leads a relatively active lifestyle, I don't have to worry about changing pads often, and also can participate in swimming or other activities I enjoy. I have rarely noticed leaks on a heavy day, else most of my periods are leak-free. Personally, knowing that I am able to contribute toward the environment in some way also works as a bonus

The menstrual cup is a boon to say the least. It has various benefits such as, it can be kept inside for 10-12hrs safely, is economical, environment friendly, and stays with you for 5+ yrs ( depending on your usage). You can wash it with water and sterilize it easily as it's made out of medical grade silicon. At times, you may not even feel that you are on your period. For me, it's one of the best choice that I've made in the last four years :) I am able to workout better, my cramps have reduced, and I feel relaxed about being on my period.

13785At its core, the connection between Ayurveda and Women health is rooted in the balance and harmony of the female body. The ancient Indian practice of Ayurveda recognizes that each woman has unique needs, and through mindful practices such as yoga, diet and lifestyle, it seeks to empower women to embrace their natural cycles.Ayurveda works to achieve balance by addressing the three doshas, or subtle energies that govern our bodies. These doshas are known as vata, pitta and kapha. Each dosha is associated with the elements of wind, fire, and water respectively and serve to regulate the physical body and the mind. When our doshas are in balance, we are healthy, vibrant and radiating peace.At a deeper level, Ayurveda looks at the physiological changes that happen in the body during our menstrual cycle. On a vata dosha day, for example, a woman may experience feelings of restlessness or anxiety. On a pitta day, she may have an increased appetite or feel irritable. And on a kapha day, she may be proneto fatigue or have difficulty concentrating. By acknowledging these nuances and adjusting her diet and lifestyle accordingly, a woman can learn to identify which foods will best nourish and restore her balance during the different phases of her cycle. Ayurveda Priests or holistic health practitioners are also available to guide women in developing a meaningful relationship with their menstrual cycle. Through such practices as yoga, meditation, massage, and breathwork, these professionals help women understand not only their body’s response to their monthly fluctuations, but also how to intuitively respond to them. Ultimately, Ayurveda provides a safe, holistic space for women to honour and celebrate their cycle as an important part of their emotional and physical wellbeing. By becoming more mindful and aware of the subtle changes that occur each month from one dosha to another, women are able to learn how to better nourish and care for their bodies .more
