Talk:Menstrual cup

message: :Leona Chalmers patented the first usable commercial cup in 1937.[39] Later menstrual cups were patented in 1935, 1937, and 1950.[40][41][42]
How can later patents be dated earlier than the first patent?! Could someone either explain it (in the article) or correct it? Thanks, Ibn Battuta (talk) 15:44, 6 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I have changed it to "Other menstrual cups were patented". I think that's correct/better. Well spotted, Ibn Battuta. EMsmile (talk) 14:08, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

message: Due to Politics and environmentalism, and marketing most sources discussing Menstrual cups are very biased and make misleading claims about other menstrual products while making outlandish claims about the benefits of Menstrual cups and omitting the very serious risks associated with its use. While the Wikipedia article isn't as biased as most sources about Menstrual cups it is very incomplete and needs a lot of revision.
The research is outdated and most of it is anecdotal. 
In the course of the next few weeks, I will try to make it more complete and cite new studies and factual evidence about Menstrual cups and other menstrual cups.
This article contains also inaccurate and outdated information about Tampons and pads.
One example of unreported risks is the increased risk of prolapse caused by suction as well as the increased risk of Endometriosis caused by the reflux of menstrual blood into the Cervix.
There is also an increased risk of TSS when compared to tampons due to the Oxygen capacity of Menstrual cups with the Silicone Cups being the most prone to develop TSS.

thread_title:  Add an image on the "use" page 

message: I think adding a few more related products would be better for the 'Related Products' section. I found an article about 'Femmycycle' which is an innovated menstrual cup invented by a doctor. I added the link of the article below.

thread_title:  Add more related products 

message: One of the biggest reasons why menstrual cup should be more accessible is that it is environmentally friendly. You did include a section about the advantages of the menstrual cup and also the environmental impact it has, however, I think it would be great if you add more information from this article. This article includes how non-reusable sanitary pads and tampons impact the environment negatively.

thread_title:  Environmental impact 

message: , regarding your restoration in this edit of material unsourced since last August, you mentioned in the summary that you will add some sources. I'm looking forward to it. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 08:29, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: @Mathglot I am wondering if the text for the different sizes still needs some more tweaking. That detail about the age of the woman (over 30, under 30) might be outdated. I don't have a very solid reference at hand but e.g. the website of Ruby Cup explains it quite well. It depends on the flow and the type of cervix, not the age nor the vaginal births:  https://rubycup.com/products/ruby-cup-medium  Might need to wait until a proper publication comes out with this. Meanwhile, I think the wording should be clear that age alone is not a decisive factor for the size of menstrual cup required. EMsmile (talk) 05:37, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

message: I highly recommend that we change the article to include a section about young girls using menstrual cups and their impacts on young girls health. if one of you Wikipedia users Hood edit this article to include that section, that would be amazing. but if you can't, I would be happy to do it for you. 166.198.21.72 (talk) 12:34, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
