Should You Switch to a Menstrual Cup?

5. Less Cost, Overall

Obviously, disposable sanitary products are going to result in regular spending. Menstrual cups only need replacing every one or two years and don't cost you anything during that time. There's the added benefit of never realizing your out of a product right when you need a new one. A menstrual cup usually costs around $40; tampons can rack up more than double this amount each year, and by now you've probably seen the press about the tampon tax.
