STEPS TO PREPARE YOURSELF MENTALLY FOR A MENSTRUAL CUP

  Greetings



There are numerous reasons why women or girls feel scared to try a menstrual cup even after knowing that it is one of the best menstrual products available. One reason exists in everyone's minds but we all deny it, but it is there, at a subconscious level. 

We all come from different backgrounds, countries, and cultures, and we all have different taboos related to menstruation. Many girls and women don't have access to sanitary pads even today. The girls are even subjected to humiliation and anger when they try to use alternative methods such as tampons or menstrual cups. Moreover, these methods are even considered wrong for obvious reasons

We are surrounded by these thoughts regularly. We end up surrendering to them and give up on the idea of being experimental to find what is best for us. Even though we do not want to believe it, but we have been surrounded by it since childhood, so it is extremely difficult to be ignored. 



Just to be more familiar with the benefits of a menstrual cup, you may please check my previous article.

So let begin and know how we can mentally prepare ourselves for using a menstrual cup


GETTING COMFORTABLE WITH THE CONCEPT

We are aware that a menstrual cup is inserted inside the vagina to collect the blood, and then can be rinsed off when you see fit. So we can achieve a level of comfort by watching too many videos. I would suggest that you watch every video on every platform. The more you watch, the more aware and comfortable you get 


TALK TO SOMEONE WHO USES IT ALREADY 

I personally didn't have anyone around me who uses a menstrual cup, but if you do, sit and talk. This will help a lot.

In case you don't find anyone, get in touch with me on Instagram. I'll be happy to have a conversation.


KNOW THE PROCESS 

There are a lot of sources on the internet available, go through all of them, this will help you familiarize yourself with your new friend and also on how to use it. I would write about it, in detail, but I believe this department can be best understood by watching videos.

The basic process is:

finding the right fold, 

finding the right position which enables easy insertion, 

identifying when to change (based on flow),

how to remove it, and rinse 

how to insert it again.




MY OWN OBSERVATIONS

  • You're going to spend a long time in the bathroom for the first time, you will need to figure out what works best for you, which fold, which way to stand or sit because it is different for everyone.
  • You are not supposed to feel it inside yourself and if you do there are two reasons for it
                           1. It wasn't inserted properly   
                           2. It is only in your mind, you'll forget it the moment you get busy
  • It may leak initially, the only reason for that is that we are unaware of our flow and how many hours the cup should stay on, you master it within one or two cycles.
  • Most importantly, you will have to plan everything for some time, for example, traveling with it, as not every place has the privilege of running water or a good washroom. So you will have to plan and organize accordingly until you get used to it. 



I look forward to hearing from you

HAPPY LIVING 💜

3 DAY JUICE FAST EXPERIENCE WITH SATVIC MOVEMENT

 Greetings 🌺 Satvic Movement  is a platform that works to spread awareness on fasting regularly, based on the scriptures that were written way before our imagination, but are forgotten now. These scriptures were written based on scientific principles that we are still trying to figure out. We are surviving in the most unhealthy methods possible and what's worse is that we aware of it but we lack the wisdom and courage to do the right thing. Satvic movement is an organization that has taken the responsibility to educate people like us on the importance of health and how we can take our own responsibility. Their efforts are extremely professional and commendable. The knowledge that they share is honestly nothing new and a lot of people share it on online platforms regularly, but with an increase in jargon and fancy language, we tend to lose interest in it very quickly, but Satvic Movement has a different approach, the language is extremely simple for anyone to understand, and it has

EQUALITY AT HOME - TIPS FOR CHILDREN

 Greetings 🌴 Everyone has been talking about how parents should behave in front of their children to teach them the basic and important values in life. But one thing we cannot deny is that our parents have lived in a completely different reality from today. At least one of our parents has made sacrifice the center of their lives, in most cases, it's the mothers.  Equality is an important factor for all of us today. But the sad reality is that some of our parents have never seen it. So that's the reality for them. We, as their children get irritated when they behave that way without realizing that, that's their way of thinking because they were brought up like that. I know most parents use aggression as a means of imposing what they saw in their children and now think is the right thing.  So, today let us try to imbibe certain points that will help us create a win-win situation for both our parents as well as us.  No one can deny that nothing feels worst than the guilt of b

5 Reasons why you can't stop overeating

Greetings Our parents' generation ate to live, but in the past few years, the concept has become the opposite. Our generation has started to earn and live just to eat. In today's time, food shouldn't just fill your stomach but also should be upload-worthy. We want the food to look good, taste good, and should contain qualities of not making one fat even when consumed in bulk. Our lifestyles promote overeating which leads to obesity and a lot of other related issues.  So let's discuss why we end up overeating even we are sure that we want to shed a few inches.  PLEASURE Eating at a good restaurant with friends and uploading pictures of the good-looking food feels really good, doesn't it? But that is one of the biggest reasons why we end up eating more than we want to and even more if you have a family waiting to eat dinner with you, you feel bad to refuse, so you eat just to keep them happy. Refusing to friends and family can be difficult, but just sitting with them
