women who have given birth vaginally or
have heavy flow

 Every 4-12 hours (depending on the amou

IS MENSTRUAL
CUP SAFE
TO USE?
 Around 70% women have been trying menstrual cup says
they want to keep use it according the Lancet Public Health

 One study found that women have to change the cup, on

average, 2.8 times more often than when using tampons or
pads, and the possibility of a leaked grade of 0.5 times
more rare. The womes also said they liked menstrual cup
that not contain chemical, bleach of fibers that can cause
sensitivity or reaction alergy.

 Research shows there is no an increase infection risk while

using menstrual cup. However there are 5 cases Toxic Shock
Syndrome (TSS) reported, this condition have potentially
threatening soul due the bacteria that went into the body.
 TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME (TSS)
 Toxic Shock Syndrome is a sudden, potentially fatal condition.
It’s caused by the release of toxins from overgrowth of bacteria
called staphylococcus aureus, or staph, which is found in many
women’s bodies.
 A new study published in the journal Applied and Environtment
al Microbiology suggests that menstrual cups may also raise
the risk of TSS.
 Menstrual cup create a breeding ground for S. Aureus-the
bacteria behind most cases of toxic shock syndrome-as well as
the toxin that the bacteria produces,called TSST-1 because they
introduce oxygen into the vaginal canal, and in the presence of
oxygen, produce the toxins, says Patrick Schlievert, Ph. D., chair
of microbiology at the University of Lowa’s Carver College Of
Medicine.
 S aureus is a very common bacteria up to half of all healthy
adults and children carry it on their skin or their vagina or
rectum, without ever developing any symptomps

 But during a womans period the warm moist environment

encourages the bug to breed, as does tampon or menstrual
cup use

 “About 80% of women naturally make antibodies to TSST-1. so

their bodies are able to fight against it”, Schlievert says.
