F.A.Q.

What are menstrual cups, and how do they work?

Menstrual cups are flexible cups made of medical-grade silicone or latex rubber. They're inserted into the vagina to collect menstrual blood, forming a seal against the vaginal walls. They collect blood rather than absorbing it like tampons or pads, and can be worn for up to 12 hours before needing to be emptied, rinsed, and reinserted.

What are the benefits of using menstrual cups compared to traditional menstrual products?

Menstrual cups are eco-friendly, cost-effective, and healthier. They're reusable, reducing waste. They save money in the long run, are made of safe materials, and don't disrupt the body's natural pH balance. They're also convenient, holding more fluid and lasting longer than traditional products.

What should I know about maintaining and cleaning menstrual cups?

It's important to sterilize your menstrual cup before the first use and between cycles by boiling it in water for a few minutes. During your cycle, simply rinse your cup with water every time you empty it. At the end of your cycle, wash it with mild soap and water before storing it in a breathable pouch. Avoid using harsh chemicals or scented soaps, as they can damage the cup and cause irritation. Regularly inspect your cup for any signs of wear and tear, and replace it as needed.
