Leakproof and safe, the menstrual cup is comfortable and secured enough to exercise or play any sports if properly inserted. Save thousands of disposable pads or tampons from going into waste, and save money in the long run! Each reusable menstrual cup comes with a small drawstring pouch for storing it. Made in United States of America.
Material
FDA-registered and medical-grade silicone.
Lifespan
10 to 15 years if well-taken care of. If the cup changes colour, becomes slimy, or alters in appearance, stop all use immediately.
How To Insert
After washing your hands and your menstrual cup with non-fragrance soap and water, towel dry the cup.
For a shell-fold, fold the cup by placing your index finger on the rim and pushing it down into the centre of the cup. On the other hand, you can opt for a heart-fold by pressing the sides of the cup together and fold in half to form a tight U-shape.
Twist while you insert and release once inserted. The stem of the cup should be around your vaginal opening.
Ensure that the cup has opened up and it does not feel loose. You may hear a “pop” or suction sound if the cup is inserted correctly. Alternatively, you can slightly pull the stem and if you feel resistance, it suggests that the suction has been created. When in doubt, reach to feel the base of the cup and it should feel round and oval with no noticeable folds.
Each menstrual cup can last you about 10 to 12 hours on average, depending on your flow!
How To Remove
Wash your hands with non-fragrance soap and water. Squeeze your pelvic floor muscles to push the cup to the opening of the vagina.
Hold your bottom and squeeze to release the suction slowly to release. Drain and wash the cup under cold or warm water with non-fragrance soap and water.
Re-insert if needed, as per the steps shown above.
How Many Disposables It Can Replace
Each cup can replace about 5,000 disposable sanitary products.

Kelly –
This was my first menstrual cup, and it was quite intuitive to use. It took me a bit of trial and error to figure out how to put it in and take it out. Best to be relaxed and not expect it to be effortless the first few times. I found out that I have a high cervix, and the removal was slightly difficult due to the short stem of the cup. Once I felt more comfortable with the cup though, it became more convenient to use. I emptied it twice a day, and on heavy flow days I had to empty it three times. (I got a mini cup). Unfortunately, while I was sterilising my cup in a pot of boiling water on my third cycle of usage, I forgot to watch over the pot, and burnt my cup 🙁 Will consider getting another replacement, but perhaps one of another brand to try out if its easier to remove next.
