The menstrual cup is a great companion all year round, but now in the summer, when we all head to the water, it will show itself in full display. How to choose the right cup and why is it simply the best for water? Take a look at our tips and enjoy bathing without worries and with ease.
A menstrual cup all year round—but especially in summer: your ally in the water
The menstrual cup is a small miracle that comes in handy at any time of the year - at work, at home, on the go and while sleeping. But if we had to pick one season to fully appreciate all its benefits, it's summer. And even more precisely - swimming.
In today's article, we will look together at why the cup is a great choice not only all year round, but why you definitely don't want to leave it at home when you head to the pool, sea or pond.
All-year comfort. No waste, no worries
Let's start with what you may already know (and if you don't, we'll be happy to remind you):
The menstrual cup is an ecological, economical and healthy way to manage your period.
- It will last you for years, so you save money and the planet.
- It is made of medical-grade silicone, which is hypoallergenic and gentle to the body.
- Enables up to 12 hours of endurance, so during the day you often forget that you have your period at all.
All this makes the cup a reliable partner for the whole year. But in the summer? There, its advantages come to the surface even more.
Bathing with a cup: comfortable, safe, discreet
You may be asking yourself: Can I bathe with a menstrual cup? The answer is simple: yes, and with a calm heart.
The menstrual cup works as a reliable sealing barrier. It traps blood inside the body and does not let it out. Neither when swimming, nor when jumping into the water, nor when sunbathing on a lounger.
What's even better:
- The cup does not absorb water like tampons do. You don't have to worry about it "soaking" chlorine or bacteria.
- Nothing can be seen. No strings, no worries. Just you, water and peace.
- Due to the long duration, you don't have to change it every two hours. Ideal when you are away from home all day.
Which Whoop·de·doo cup should you take to the water?
Both of our variants - Whoop·de·doo Light and Whoop·de·doo Classic - are reliable, comfortable and suitable for swimming. Just choose the one that best suits your body and lifestyle.
Whoop·de·doo Classic→ for those of you who they normally use larger tampons (eg super or super plus) or have heavier periods. Classic is larger, so it holds well even when moving - ideal for swimming, sports or active days by the water.
Whoop·de·doo Light→ we recommend it to those who usually reach for smaller tampon variants or have weaker periods.
Light is smaller and very comfortable even for beginners or for the first days of cupping. Perfect for gentle wear and for relaxing by the water.
Now you know why the menstrual cup is our ultimate summer hack! It takes up little space in your purse, holds you perfectly in the pool and in the sea, and also helps you avoid inflammation that can ruin even the nicest day.
Summer with Whoop·de·doo? Comfort, freedom and no compromise.
Get ready to enjoy it to the fullest!
