Hello doctor. I am a 28 years old female and my doctor has advised me to use menstrual cups instead of sanitary pads. Though my gynecologist has assured me that it won't be painful to use it. But still, I am in doubt. Can you please help me in knowing if using the menstrual cups is painful?

Menstrual cups are safe to use and are generally not painful while you insert them. It is possible that you might have a little issue while inserting it initially, but once you are habitual, the process becomes smooth. Also, the majority of women don't even feel their cups once they are inside the vagina. This happens because these cups are made up of flexible silicone that matches the body temperature of a woman. Also, a menstrual cup avoids other conditions such as skin rashes or the burning sensation that generally occurs due to the use of pads.
