My partner and I face similar challenges in Pakistan. We sell cups instead of pads, so we get the stigma of menstruation being a taboo as well as the reluctance to insert cups because they are thought to make a women lose her virginity. The virginity issue doesn't make any sense, but it's a big part of the culture here. It's good to see posts like these showing the way people think about menstruation in places like India.
