Period underwear or menstrual cup — which is better?

Both are reusable and economical, but they suit different preferences. A menstrual cup holds more and is inserted internally, with a small learning curve. Period underwear is effortless with nothing to insert, but holds less per item.

Many women use both together — a cup for capacity and period underwear as leak-proof backup. If you dislike insertion, period underwear alone is the easier choice.
