Many women can agree that ‘that time of the month’ can be the worst time of the month. From puberty all the way till menopause, most women menstruate on a monthly basis and, on top of that, battle through mood swings, food cravings, cramps, bloating, and so much more.

Good menstrual hygiene is vital and every woman has their personal preference when it comes to what sanitary products they use be it pads, tampons and menstrual cups. Tampons have been around for close to a century and some women prefer the convenience and freedom that they offer.
