I'm sure many of you have heard at least once about Toxic Shock Syndrome (or TSS); the syndrome is caused by the presence of the Staphylococcus Aureus. The bacteria develops in the vagina where there is a condition of strong absorbency of liquids, like it happens with tampons. 

Wearing tampons for a prolonged period of time expose women to Toxic Shock Syndrome, because the longer the absorbent agent stays in the vagina, the higher chances are that the bacteria proliferates and infects the body.

What are the symptoms of Toxic Shock Syndrome? 
Symptoms occur suddenly and resemble those of a flu. They require hospitalization and administration of antibiotics; among them are a high fever, vomiting, dizziness, diarrhea, a cutaneous rash, muscle aches and fainting. If not treated immediately, the infection may cause shock, kidney failure and liver failure.

Why is a Luv Ur Body menstrual cup safer than a tampon?
A Luv Ur Body menstrual cup is made out of medical grade silicon, the same that is used for catheters, feeding tubes and other medical applications. Medical grade silicon cups are well tolerated by the body and they have a minimum risk of developing infections. Why? Because the cup does not absorb the menstrual flux, but it contains it in the vagina until you empty the cup.  The moisture in your vagina remains unaltered, therefore the risk of a growth of bacteria is very, very low, if not almost non-existent. In fact, there has never been a reported case of TSS reported by a woman using a menstrual cup.
Provided that you sterilize your Luv Ur Body cup and insert it with clean hands, there is no risk of bacteria proliferation.

Are Menstrual Cups Safe?

What? You may be thinking, how is it possible that a cup that goes inside my body not carry disease, infections, certainly TSS? But guess what ladies, the answer is none of the above. Luv Ur Body Menstrual Cups carry zero disease, have no risk of infection and certainly will not cause TSS.

Because the menstrual cup captures fluid rather than absorbs it — there is no connection to Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), disease, infections or cancer. 

There are a number of questions that women may have before purchasing Menstrual Cups.  At the top of most people’s mind will be safety. Is this product really safe? The answer is, YES absolutely! As mentioned, the Luv Ur Body Menstrual Cup is made with quality medical grade silicone approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States and this material has already been introduced, accepted, and rated by medical professionals for decades.

There has never been a case of TSS linked to Menstrual Cups usage since 1932.  When you compare the menstrual cup to tampons not only do you eliminate the threat of TSS, but there is also a reduced concern about the product becoming lodged in the vaginal cavity due to over absorption causing infection.

Pads and tampons are made from strong industrial bleaches used to whiten the material. These bleaches contain cancer causing dioxins. 

The Luv Ur Body menstrual cup offers a number of advantages that are simply not available with any other menstrual product. Safe, comfortable, and reliable the menstrual cup is a terrific option for women today.
