Menstrual cups, yes!

Purchase a set of 5 at only Rs 1499 @ Menstrual Cup

This little silicone funnel looking thing that you probably saw at some point scrolling down your Facebook feed. You may have raised an eyebrow wondering what the hell it is or have you already have been #cupverted? Yes there’s a word for it now. Does the idea of collecting your flow in a cup gross you out? Then likely collecting it in a cotton vagina plug or slab of adult diaper does, too. So I suggest you keep on reading, you can thank me later.

1. Easy and comfortable
The concept is simple, insert the cup in your vagina, remove it, wash it and reuse. Easy peasy once you get the hang of inserting it correctly. See my step by step guide on how to use a Menstrual Cup. You won’t even notice it’s in there. After use just rinse with neutral intimate soap and warm water and then boil at the end of your period. You can also use sterilising tablets and tupperware.

2. Waste free period
A menstrual cup will last you up years. Compare that to all the pads and tampons you’d use during that same time. They sum up to about a 325 pieces thrown out per woman per year in the world…Pretty gross, right? All that could be easily avoided if every woman used a menstrual cup. Who wants to see bloody pads on the beach? I know I don’t.

3. They hold more blood
A regular tampon holds between 9 and 12 grams of liquid. Menstrual cups hold almost five times that amount, capable of up to 40ml+. You can compare capacity of Cup VS tampon here. This makes life a lot more easier. For ladies with a heavier flow, you’ll want to check out cups with bigger capacity on this comparison cup table.

4. Your cycle will seem shorter
When I was using tampons I was changing it about every 4h for safety reasons and also because it would saturate on heavier days and cause leaks. With the cup I empty it in my morning shower and I do the same in the evening. I can just forget about it all day. Empty your cup every 8-12 hours, instead of 4-6 hours like you would/should with a pad or tampon. That’s double the time so 4-5 days of periods suddenly feels a lot shorter.

5. Bye bye leaks
The problem with a tampon or a pad is that when it reaches full saturation it doesn’t absorb anymore and you will leak. When a menstrual cup is fitted properly into the vagina, there should not be any leaks from it. A cup will take much longer to fill since it’s got a much bigger capacity. Have a look at this table Tampons VS Cups. If you are experiencing leaks with a with a cup, then it’s most likely not inserted properly, the sizing or the shape of the cup is not right for you.

6. No bad smell
You all know what I am talking about, that distinct nasty odor associated with having your period. When you use pads or tampons, they are exposed to air which causes the natural oxidation. But with menstrual cups, the seal prevents blood from being exposed to air, it all happens inside. You will feel a lot cleaner and not have the usual dampness feeling that comes with pads or the tampon’s string sticking out.

7. Save lots of money.
Menstrual cups cost as little as 15€+ depending on the menstrual cup brand and will last you for many years. Disposable pads or tampons will cost you a minimum of 5€ and will only last you a month. So a cup pays for itself pretty fast.

8. Buy it once & forget about it.
You’ll never have to walk around with some toilet paper in your panties because you ran out of tampons nor having to beg random women in public toilet asking if they have a spare a tampon. The few times a woman asks me I just apologize that I cannot hand them my cup and I hand them my business card instead.

9. You can sleep naked
Yup, no more stained bedsheets. When you got the right cup there’s no leaks. You can sleep in all kind of positions without feeling like an incontinent grandma. It was a great plus for me when I first discovered the cup cause I love sleeping naked. It is unsafe to keep a tampon all night and I don’t know what it is with me and pads but blood always runs on the side when I am laying down. It’s bloody uncomfortable (and unsexy). With a cup you can sleep safely all night without worrying about TSS.

10. No strings attached…
Tampon strings have the pesky, gross habit of getting soaked in pee. If you’re in a public sauna, or showering at the swimming pool or fooling around with your parner. No worries! Menstrual cups fit entirely inside your body with nothing hanging out.

11. Great for doing sports
Yoga, fitness, horseriding, swimming and more. You can feel clean and secure with a cup even upside down. The seal keeps your cup in place and you dont have to worry about looking like you are wearing a diaper or having a string sticking out while doing your working out routing whatever it is.

12. Ideal for traveling.
You don’t have to rely on what protection is available or most likely not available when you are in the middle of nowhere. Get your little cup from your handbag and you’re ready to go anywhere no matter what without leaving anything behind you. You can clean it even if you are camping, trecking or being in very remote area never left stranded without protection.

13. Keep TSS at bay
Toxic shock syndrome is a real issue with tampons and potentially deadly. They warn us on tampons boxes in very small caps, what’s not written are ingredients…That can’t be good. Ask Mr Google about TSS and the amount of reported cases because of tampons. Pretty scary…Obviously you still have to be careful with cups respecting their guidelines but it’s reducing the risk a whole lot.

14. Safe & hygienic material
Made in 100% medical grade silicone (or TPE), they do not leak any chemicals in your body nor absorb anything making it neutral and hypoallergenic to the delicate vaginal flora to keep on doing its thing without being disrupted. Cotton and other substances in tampons strip your vaginal walls of naturally occurring lining, making your lady bits more susceptible to disease.

15. No more dry vagina!
Tampons absorb the blood from your period but they also absorb everything else disturbing your Ph balance leaving you more prone to vaginal thrush etc. With the cup your vagina wall will be left as usual with no soreness or fiber residues left behind. The insertion and removal or tampon cause micro laceration in the vagina wall leaving you more prone to infections and disease. Synthetic fragrances uses in pads are a great cause of rashes and allergies too.

16. Feel more juicy…
Tampons absorb extra juices released in your tiny ducts in your vaginal walls when you’re sexually aroused. So when you had a few days of that and you’re ready to get it on…it could make for a rougher trip…and I don’t mean that in a good way. The cup will leave your vagina as it was, no more no less. (and nooo the cup won’t stretch out your vagina…)

17. Perfect for spotting.
Hate wearing a tampon pre or post period for when you have a very small amount of flow? Menstrual cups are perfect for this because they won’t dry out your vagina. Some women with heavy discharges also use the cup, I wouldnt recommend wearing it on a daily basis but on some occasion if you want to be sure to keep your undies dry it can help.

18. Plan ahead.
Know when your period is coming? Put in your menstrual cup when you think they’re coming, can be a day or two before, or before bed so you won’t be caught unexpected. If they don’t come, no problem just remove it. Even if there’s no blood you should not keep it longer than 8-12h.

19. Get to know your body.
Menstruation is a natural process and you’ll become far more familiar with it using menstrual cups than you ever will with pads or tampons. And what I like about the cup is that you get an idea of what your flow really is, seeing it in its liquid form is actually a lot less than what you imagine, color and texture also gives useful indication about your health

20. Support smaller business
Most menstrual cups are made by smaller female owned companies and mot are headquartered and manufactured locally. It’s truly a women-positive experience to support these business instead of huge companies who pollutes the planet shamelessly and who don’t have our best health interest at heart.

So there it was, 20 reasons to ditch your disposable tampons or pads and get yourself a menstrual cup.

Bearded men were turning heads long before The New York Times declared facial hair fashionable. There’s just something about a well-groomed guy that makes you stop and stare. You’ll also notice when there’s a hair askew, or the way the not-so-sexy scruff feels against your face.

Luckily, there’s a product to help with that and it’s called beard oil. Packed with conditioning ingredients like jojoba oil, grapeseed oil and argan oil, experts believe it is essential for maintaining facial hair.

Experts says: “Most men don’t believe they need to use any products at all. Men should take care of their facial hair as much as they take care of the hair on their heads.”

Many people might not be aware of it but there are a lot of costs and charges that occurs in between.

1. Sales tax: most of the items shown in online stores are inclusive of all taxes but in some online stores the price shown might not be inclusive of sales taxes. So, we pay the taxes for that as well.
2. Domestic Delivery charges: For some product the online store might take delivery charges depending upon customer’s location or supplier’s location.
3. International Shipping charges: mostly, this is calculated according to the weight of the product including it’s packaging. But sometimes, the package may be considered irregular if it’s a non-standard material or if it’s an irregular shape, then they may have additional charges. For Example, if your item has less actual weight but high volume, importing such product might be expensive.
4. Custom Charges: Government of Nepal has imposed different tariff rates for different items. The custom charge of most of the goods varies from 10%-20%. Only some items like cars, which fall under luxury items, have higher custom charges. You can know the custom charges on their official website as well. https://creationsbyshash.com/en/tariff.html
5. VAT: Value Added Tax is a tax imposed on the value added to goods and services consumed in Nepal or exported outside. In Nepal all products and services are subject to 13% VAT. Expect for tax-exempt goods and services like books, the purchaser will not pay VAT. You can know more on their website https://creationsbyshash.com/NationalPortal/view-page?id=94
6. Custom clearing agent charge: We need to pay to the company who will be providing the logistics. They prepare and submit documents required to facilitate imports, represent us (their client) during customs examination, assessment, and payment of duty.
7. Bank charges: we cannot pay directly to the international shopping sites. We have to take help from the bank, as the amount needs to be paid in foreign currency.

Only after clearing all the processes and charges, we get to deliver the product to our customers. Despite all these aggravation and trouble, we take the responsibility to deliver the product safely.

Even though these are the few online stores that we suggest are the best to shop from, but this surely doesn’t mean you have to stick to these online store only. We believe there are many other online stores in India that might be offering products better than these websites, which are of your choice. We suggest you not to be confined within just one or two online stores. There is no harm is exploring websites of different online stores.

Anywhere and anytime you want

Where else can you comfortably shop at midnight while in your pajamas? You don’t need to worry about the opening and closing of an online store. You can shop 24 hours 7 days a week. Whether you are at your office or at a slumber party, you just need to have an Internet connection and there you go. The convenience is one of the biggest perk.

Variety and price comparison

You can get variety of brands and products from different sellers at your fingertips. A far greater selection of colors and sizes than you will find locally are at your disposal. As a buyer you would want to get the deals at the cheapest price. You can easily check prices and compare it with other online stores with just a few clicks. This gives you the freedom to determine which online store offers the most affordable item you are going to buy. 

No crowds

Who wants to scrum their way through a crowded store? Set up your laptop or your mobile phone, sit on your cozy sofa, relax and shop. Especially during festivals or special events, they can be such a huge headache. Also, because of the chaos, it makes us feel rush or hurried and you may end up buying something else.

Time is precious

You don’t have to walk around the street or mall to find that perfect dress. Online shopping has made life easier for busy people who don’t get much time out from their office. No need of canceling meetings just to take out some time for shopping. You no longer have to get in your car and drive to the mall to shop. There are no lines and you can come back to your cart whenever you want.

Easy to search for what you want

There might be a lot of things that is difficult to find at your local store. And even if you get, you are not sure if that is of your size or of your budget. Online stores have segregated all their products into different segments as per their price, size, color and brand. You can sort the products according to your wants. You don’t have to waste your time going through all the product listed on their website.

Sending gifts

Firstly, people can’t decide on what to gift their friends or family members and secondly, they don’t have time to go shopping. You got to reach for your cousin’s birthday party at 7pm and you know will still be at office till 6pm. In cases like these online stores becomes a life savior. Most of the online stores have a separate segment for gifts that helps the customers decide fast or they could buy any other product they like on the same site. You then become his/her favorite cousin. 

2. Sweaters

If you want to stay cozy, warm but still look like a diva then sweater is your thing. You can pair it up with almost any kind of jeans, pants and even skirts. There is different variety of sweaters available in the market now. From oversized to crop sweaters, you can try on different style and different color. Sweaters can be worn for casual hangouts or for your ladies night outs. Have a sweater that isn’t itchy or too clingy.

3. Woolen hats

Your head is going to get cold, that’s a given. But instead of reaching for your standards, you can go for one with little more character. Woolen hats including a small ball of knitted fabric on the top of the head also called poofy pom-poms can make the outfit look cute automatically. These hats can also be worn during milder seasons such as late fall or early spring. You can experiment with hats and try on different kinds. Hats could give a statement to our outfit as well. The best thing about hats is that you don’t have to worry about a bad hair day.

4. Ankle boots

The versatility of these books makes them great to wear. They keep your feet warm and at the same time make you look fashionable. You can wear them with just about every style of jeans and pants. If you prefer a bootcut or straight leg pant, you can wear them over top of your ankle boots. But if you prefer skinny jeans then you can wear it by folding the bottom part of the jeans. They go with much more than you anticipate, which is really nice. Wearing these boots with a little heel will give that extra inch to your height and maintain your body poster without any effort.

5. Shades

Just because you are having a gloomy weather outside, doesn’t mean you don’t need a solid pair of shades. In winters it is a difficult job to get out of the bed on time and have that perfect makeup. Wearing a cool pair of sunglasses will hide all the sleepiness from your face and instantly give you the celebrity look you want. Sunglasses will definitely add a fashionable touch to your outfit.
