Can I get Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) using Silky Cup?

 

Silky Cup (reusable menstrual cup) has not been linked to TSS. Due to the fact that tampons absorb, it can dry out the vagina, causing miniscule tears that allow usually harmless bacteria to enter the bloodstream which causes TSS. Silky Cup (reusable menstrual cup) is made of 100% medical grade materials and do not absorb like tampons do. It has no effect on the acidity levels of the vagina, making it less likely to get TSS. However, always follow the 12 hour rule of emptying your cup at a minimum once every 12 hours. If you’ve ever had TSS, consult your doctor before using Silky Cup.

If Silky Cup (reusable menstrual cup) is so great, why haven’t I heard of it before?

Many companies did not want to be associated with advertising a “menstrual cup.” As well, due to the fact that menstrual cups can last up to a decade, it’s not something women need to buy often, which means less profit overall. Only now are women becoming aware of the ecological damage that disposable feminine hygiene products cause as well as trying to find an alternative to tampons which have a higher risk of TSS. Word of mouth and internet access has now begun to increase awareness of menstrual cups and the benefits of them, making them more and more popular.
