🚨 The Dark Side of Menstrual Cups 🚨

They’re marketed as the “eco-friendly, safe, modern” solution… but no one is talking about the very real risks to your bladder, pelvic floor, and overall health.

⚠️ Cups can:

– Distort pelvic floor muscles

– Put pressure on your bladder & urethra

– Make it painful or difficult to urinate

– Cause cramping, constipation, or heaviness

– Increase infection risk if not cleaned perfectly

– Trigger irritation, pain, or even Toxic Shock Syndrome

👉 If you’ve felt pressure, pain, or trouble peeing with a cup — it’s NOT in your head. Your body is warning you.

🚫 Menstrual cups aren’t one-size-fits-all. Don’t ignore the red flags.

Sticking foreign objects inside the vagina isn’t natural.

Our bodies weren’t designed to have silicone or plastic sitting against delicate tissues.

Pressure, irritation, and infections are your body’s way of saying “this doesn’t belong here.”

And let’s be honest — it isn’t natural to keep a piece of silicone lodged inside your body for hours. Our vaginas are self-cleansing and sensitive. Pressure, pain, or irritation are clear signals that this isn’t what the body was designed for.

⚠️ Disclaimer: This post is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice. Every body is different. If you experience pain, urinary issues, or pelvic discomfort with a menstrual cup, stop using it and consult a qualified healthcare professional.
