As well as being internal menstrual cup's are also more discreet as there's no string to hide, same goes for softcups, and neither absorb water like tampons do so better for swimming. Unlike tampons which cannot be worn before menstruation or with very light flow, menstrual cups are safe to use at these times - so no skipping swimming as your flow is too light for tampons, or no using pads just-in-case your period starts.

Menstrual cups hold more flow and have light suction so all in all you need to change them half as often and they don't leak like tampons so far more reliable.

Menstrual cups are also well known to lessen menstrual cramps - where as tampons are known to increase menstrual cramps due to their effect on vaginal health, possibility of allergic reactions to chemicals in some brands of tampons and expansion into the cervix. As a note most women can prevent cramps all together - unless there's an underlying medical problem issues like cramps and bloating can be changed with things as simple as dietary changes or herbal treatments, even just a week before menstruation.
