Some menstrual cup users claim they may never turn back to tampons. And when you look at the benefits of using a menstrual cup during your period, you can understand why. For starters, many can be worn for up to 12 hours, as opposed to tampons, which have to be changed every eight hours. They're also reusable, making them a little more eco-friendly than a standard tampon that you have to toss in the trash after using. And while menstrual cups are usually more expensive than a box of tampons at first, they do provide cost-saving benefits over time.
