Menstrual hygiene is a necessity, not a luxury.
Personally, I feel menstrual cups are cost-effective, eco-friendly, and safe when used properly. But the best choice depends on comfort and awareness.

Sanitary Pads. Pros: Easy to use, especially for beginners. …
Tampons. Pros: Small and easy to pack. …
Menstrual Cup. Pros: Holds more blood than tampons or pads (can last up to 12 hours). …
Period Underwear. Pros: No insertion, no hassle
I think it depends upon the individual to choose what they want to use. But for now the most inexpensive and easy to use product is pad.
It’s necessary. If we don’t take care of personal hygiene we can get infection
Each period product has its own benefits-there’s no “one size fits all,” but here’s a quick comparison:
Sanitary Pads – Most commonly used, beginner-friendly, and easily available. Good for heavy flow but can feel bulky.
Tampons – Comfortable and discreet, especially for physical activity. But they need to be changed regularly to avoid risks like TSS.
Menstrual Cups – Reusable and eco-friendly. Once you get used to inserting them, they’re super cost-effective and last for years.
Period Pants – Great for overnight use or light days. Comfortable but can be costly upfront.
Panty Liners – Ideal for spotting or as backup with other products. Not suitable for heavy flow.
- Best for hygiene? All are safe if used properly and changed/cleaned as recommended.
- Cost-effective? Menstrual cups win in the long run.
- Ultimately, it’s about comfort, lifestyle, and personal preference.
Ofc is it necessary to maintain menstrual hygiene to prevent infection and I think people nowadays are understanding these things also
It’s about the preference of the individual. According to me, menstrual cap is good one-time investment, that is comfortable and rash-free.
Menstrual cups are the most cost-effective, hygienic, and eco-friendly option. Pads are safe and easy but less sustainable. Tampons are hygienic but risk TSS if not used properly. Period underwear is reusable and comfy, while panty liners suit light flow. Overall, menstrual cups offer the best balance.
can’t say much as many women are comfortable with pads , some are with mentrual cups, while other feel discomfort
The best thing is based on one’s preference everyone differs from each other . There is no best or worst thing in this.
It verily depends on one’s personal choices and comfortability. It is not like what is comfortable for me would work for someone else.
According to me, I prefer menstrual cup. It doesn’t cause much leakage, if you empty it and clean it accordingly. I also felt ease and comfortable using it compared to pads, as pads caused rashes and used to get dislodged when doing any physical activities.
Menstrual cup is said to be cost effective and more hygiene, but it is upto their comfortability what they want to use.
Its a vague question as everyone has their own experience, comfort and preference to choose the products.
Some are still okay with pads irrespective of its cost and side-effects but sime switches to diffrent products…i think those whohave use it personally all of that can tell more precisely
The single-best answer to all this questions would be a menstrual cup- with a perspective of hygiene and cost-effectiveness, the only drawback is that not everyone is comfortable to use it. So, it should be based on the comfortness of user.
Menstrual hygiene is a necessity for cleanliness and security. Everyone uses different methods like sanitary napkins, menstrual cups, and tampons, depending on their comfort level. For beginners, I suggest sanitary pads as they provide comfort. Menstrual cups, on the other hand, are cost-effective and safe to use since they can be reused.
It depends on personal preference, lifestyle and availability of water and sanitation. Sanitary pads are widely available and affordable but proper hygiene needs to be maintained to avoid skin irritation. Tampons are more preferable if one is involved in physical activities as its discreet yet needs proper technique of insertion and maintenance.
Menstrual hygiene is very important than luxury
It is the choice of individual comforts
Managing the menstrual cycle has become easier with various options like pads, cups, tampons, panty liners, and period underwear. The key is choosing what’s most comfortable, safe, and suits one’s lifestyle.
Poor menstrual hygiene management restricts the mobility, freedom and choices of young women and girls everywhere; it affects attendance and participation in school and community life and further compromises their safety, causing stress and anxiety.
Menstrual cups are generally the best option for menstrual hygiene, safety, and cost-effectiveness. They are reusable, eco-friendly, and can last up to 10 years, making them far cheaper in the long run than pads or tampons. They hold more fluid, reduce odor, and have minimal risk if cleaned properly. Sanitary pads and tampons are safe and hygienic when changed regularly but create more waste and cost more over time. Period pants are comfortable and eco-friendly but cost more upfront. Panty liners are only suitable for very light flow or spotting. Overall, menstrual cups offer the best balance of hygiene, safety, cost, and sustainability.
