You only need one menstrual cup - menstrual cups last for up to 10 years and are reusable. Some people have multiple menstrual cups as they find some different brands work better for them at different points in their cycles, or maybe they will have multiple colours.
Menstrual cups are sold indervidually - as menstrual cups last for up to 10 years there's only a need for one cup. You may mean softcups, these are a similar idea to menstrual cups but either disposable after one use or reusable for up to one cycle - disposable softcups come in boxes of 2, 8, 16, or 24, reusable softcups come in boxes of 2.
Women would use tampons or menstrual pads. There are also options like menstrual release too.
You can get a menstrual cup such as a Mooncup which allows you to measure flow exactly. Menstrual cups are an internal menstrual product but safer than tampons so can be worn throughout your period without needing to alternate with pads, without risk of TSS or leaking. Most menstrual cups have measuring points on the side of the cup to allow you to measure flow.
Menstrual flow leaving your body doesn't hurt, however menstrual cramps can hurt - menstrual cramps are a result of hormones being released that cause the uterus to contract in order to push out the menstrual flow. Some women are more sensitive to these hormones than others or produce higher concentrations - however most women can prevent menstrual cramps by regulating their hormones or altering their diets.
A 1932 menstrual cup looks like most of the menstrual cups we have today. If you search online for history of the menstrual cup you'll see the menstrual cup invented back then looked like a Keeper.
I'm not sure what you're refering to when you say 'ThermoK' - but this material or substance isn't use in menstrual cups. Menstrual cups are made from either medical grade silicone, natural gum rubber, or TPE.
Yes, young girls wear menstrual cups. Their is no difference in a girl who is a virgin and a girl who is not. After sexual intercourse a women's vagina goes back to how it always was before. I really recommend cups they are much safer because they do not have a risk of tts. I mean you are risking you life by putting a tampon in your body. The cup Is amazing. I recommend the diva cup.
This is really based on your personal preference. In my experience, a majority of women seem to use tampons as there is less mess. However, if you are young, you may find that pads are the best way to go until you get more used to the way your body is changing.
No, not all girls have to wear tampons and in fact there's little reason to use tampons when there are other options like pads or menstrual cups available. Girls often use tampons because they prefer them to pads and may not know that options like cups exist and can be much better than tampons. Some people cannot use menstrual cups so will use tampons when they need internal menstrual products.
A menstrual cup collects menstrual fluid, instead of absorbing it like a tampon, and is cleaned and reused, with the cup able to last as long as ten years. Menstrual cups have been shown to leak less on average, and they are very comfortable to wear.
The study found that menstrual pads had higher absorbency compared to tampons and menstrual cups. Menstrual pads were able to hold more liquid before leaking, making them a more effective option for managing menstrual flow.
