So I looked up the price of a menstrual cup in Ghana. I converted the price to USD, since that's what the article is in.

Asking someone to pay $14 out of their $26 monthly salary when they're already struggling with paying $3 per month is both an unhelpful and ridiculous suggestion. Do you want these folks to bleed all over themselves for five months while they save up for an option that might or might not work for them? They deserve more dignity than that.
