Sophia Mencattelli, 21, a Leeds university student, has been using period delay medication since the age of 13 to manage her heavy and painful periods, allowing her to participate in sports and travel without worry.
University student Sophia Mencattelli, 21, from Leeds, would get her GP to prescribe her pills that would delay her periods, and allow her to play sports and travel stress-free.
Her GP prescribed period-delay medication, which Sophia found helpful in managing her heavy flow. She continued to use period delay medication once or twice a year, particularly during challenging times. Since making the switch, her life has been less impacted by her menstrual cycle. She now praises menstrual cups for their many benefits, saying, "You can wear them much longer, which means you can go about your day without the constant worry of leaks."
An analysis by menstrual cup company, Asan Cup, reveals that women in the UK have to spend up to £8,892 during their lifetime, simply for menstruating.Women in England, typically between the ages of 12 and 51 – the average span of a woman's menstrual cycle – spend at least £5,000 on period-related costs over their lifetime. Many also invest an additional £4,000 for extra comfort during their periods.
