Menstrual Cups Are Safe, Says study
For estimations on costs of disposable pads and tampons, the study explored prices for commonly used products in six countries (the US, the UK, India, Spain, China, and Canada). Preliminary evidence on the cost and waste savings associated with using menstrual cups suggests that over 10 years, a single menstrual cup could cost much less than pads or tampons, the study said.
A cup could cost roughly 5-7 per cent of the cost of using 12 pads (on average $ 0.31 each) or tampons (on average $ 0.21 each) per period. Over 10 years, a cup is estimated to create 0.4 per cent of the plastic waste generated by single-use pads or 6 per cent of that produced by using tampons.
In a linked comment, Dr Julie Hennegan from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, USA, says: "For consumers purchasing menstrual products, the results highlight cups as a safe and cost-effective option. Critically, findings indicate that menstrual education resources are not providing a comprehensive overview of products to support informed choices. Authors found that awareness of menstrual cups was low, and that only 30 per cent of websites with educational materials on menarche included information about menstrual cups."
