Every woman of the reproductive age has to go through a menstrual cycle. It is a natural, complex series of changes that take place in the female reproductive system every month. Read this insightful article by IVF experts of the best IVF center in Delhi, Gunjan IVF World on the right menstrual product for women.

There are many menstrual products… Which one is the best to use?

“There are so many options available now for women to choose. Of course, there are pads, tampons. There are new things too like menstrual cups, period underwear. Options are many but each has its own drawbacks. It is up to the woman to choose which one she is most comfortable with,” says Dr. Gunjan Gupta, renowned gynaecologist Ghaziabad and Director & Founder of Gunjan IVF World, the best IVF clinic in Ghaziabad. “Let’s look at sanitary pads – the most commonly used menstrual product. We have been using them for ages now. But, pads do have their set of challenges. They are not re-usable and most importantly, cause skin rashes,” she adds. Gunjan IVF World is the two times winner of the best IVF chain award by ET HealthWorld and has clinics at Indirapuram, Janakpuri, Meerut and Noida.

“Tampons are a good option when it comes to menstrual products. If you are actively into swimming, it is your go-to product. But, tampons too pose a threat. They usually cause toxic shock and might also cause cancer,” comments Dr. Garima Sharma, Consultant and Center In-Charge of Gunjan IVF World, a noted IVF center in Janakpuri.

“There are newer products available in the market like menstrual cups and period underwear. A menstrual cup is a silicon-based cup, which is foldable and needs to be inserted inside the vagina. This product is eco-friendly, re- usable up to 5 years,” mentioned Dr. Anshu Dhar, Consultant of a well-know IVF centre in Indirapuram – Gunjan IVF World, who else.

“The other product that is making the rounds is period underwear. It comes with an inner lining and can be used easily for 6-8 hours. It is also eco-friendly and can be sued for long-term. So, it is also a good product to use,” concluded Dr. Shubhda Gupta, gynecologist Noida and Consultant of a leading IVF center in Noida – Gunjan IVF World.
