Rags
Rags are cloth pads worn to absorb the menstrual flow during a woman's period. They are a type of reusable feminine hygiene product, and are an alternative to disposable sanitary napkins or to reusable menstrual cups. They are less expensive than disposable pads, reduce the amount of waste produced and may also have health benefits.
Generally they are made from layers of absorbent fabrics (such as cotton or hemp. After use, they are washed, dried and then reused. Rags are cotton pads that you wash and reuse. They come in pretty colors and fabrics. Mine literally had a bird on it. The basic gist is that you wear it, wash it, and use it again. They come in panty liners, day pads, and night pads. The day and night pads have removable liners that fit into a cotton envelope so you can make it as thick or thin as you need.
Menstrual cups have come about as an alternative to standard sanitary pads and tampons. What many may not realise is that menstrual cups also pose significant benefits in health, hygiene, convenience, comfort and reliability.
A menstrual cup collects menstrual fluid, instead of absorbing it like a tampon, and is cleaned and reused, with the cup able to last as long as ten years. Menstrual cups have been shown to leak less on average, and they are very comfortable to wear. [1] As well, they have fewer health risks than standard disposable products as there is no known risk of TSS, they do not lead to vaginal infections, and do not contain chemicals or toxins. Reusable cups are made of soft, medical grade silicone, rubber
It will take time to get used to menstrual cups. You have to try different tricks to insert a cup initially, if you are a new user of it. Just give it some try without being panic and you will learn how to use it eventually.
Tampons are products used to absorb your menstrual flow. They are made of soft cotton pressed together to form a cylinder-like shape, so that they can be easily inserted into the opening of the vagina. A tampon absorbs your menstrual flow, or blood, before it has a chance to leave the body.
Tampons come in all different sizes and absorbencies, and can be purchased at most pharmacies and grocery stores. By following the simple guidelines below, as well as the instructions that come with the tampons, your first experience with tampons should be easy.
Remember, the more you relax, the easier the insertion will be. When you are nervous, your muscles tense up, which can make inserting the tampon more difficult.
