Why use a Menstrual cup?
Environmental friendly
A menstrual cup can be used several years without losing its shape or function. Less production and waste as no pads or tampons adds to the landfill.
Economical solution
Saves women a lot of money as one cup last several years.
The investment of a cup is normally between S$30 - 60 and if you use your cup its maximal lifespan you can save S$ 1300 or more if you are using pads or S$ 2300 or more if you are using tampons given that you use 1½ package per period occurring every third week during ten years.
Simplifying sports
A cup doesn't absorb fluids and can be used in water activities like swimming in pools or ocean and showering amongst other women in the gym without traces of blood in the water stream. The cup make a vacuum seal against the walls of the vagina and no blood can escape out or any contaminated water flow close to the uterus. The cup allows you free movement without leakage.
Increase security
There is no risk of TSS, Toxic Shock Syndrome, as with tampons.
Your vagina doesn't dry out from frequent use as it can with tampons and uneven flow, but keep the balance of moist natural.
Your skin doesn't get irritated, rashes or warm as it may do with pads as the cup is kept within the vagina.
The cups are made of 100% medical grade silicone and does not release any substances, residues or toxins to the human body.
Boost your personal experience
Can be emptied less often than a pad or tampon need be changed. Some with regular flow can have it up to 12 hours without emptying. Most women can sleep the full night without waking up to empty the cup.
Many women say they get less cramps during their periods while they use a cup.
No leakage = No bulky underwear, or special period panties. With a menstrual cup you can wear sexy lingerie, bright clothing and tight garments with no stains.
You can have intimate cuddling and be at ease with your partner as with a cup no part is visible or can be felt outside your body.
As the cup make a vacuum seal against the walls of the vagina blood doesn't come into contact with air and the odor with a slight metallic base some women can note on themselves during periods is minimized.
Don't need to hide pads or tampons walking to the bathroom, or any waste left behind in the garbage that might feel embarrassing.
Boosting confidence and body awareness as many women using the cup doesn't feel like their periods limit them like before during their periods and get a better relationship to their own genitals and menstruation.
How do I use my menstrual cup?
Sterilization
Before the first use- make sure to sterilize your cup the first time by boiling it in bubbling water for 7 minutes. This procedure you also do once between every period you made use of your cup.
Insertion
To insert the cup correctly into your vagina you need to fold the cup in one of the many ways possible. To make insertion easier you can use a water based lubricant. You can squat or lift one leg up on the toilet whilst standing for easier placement. It should be directed slight towards your spine with the opening upwards.
Once inside you make sure the edges of the cup fold out properly by twisting it slightly, if it tend to fall out on one side you need to push it bit deeper- once it has folded out properly you drag the cup carefully down until you feel a slight resistance. The cup shall be placed lower in the vagina than the traditional tampon and should not touch the cervix for less discomfort.
Once the cup is inside and placed correctly you would normally not feel it after a few minutes. Just make sure the rim closed tight and the vaccum been created feeling that slight resistance pulling in the stem. The stem can be shortened if it feel incomfortable and too long. Use a pair of scissors or a sharp knife and take care to not cut away more than you need or harm the rounded bottom of the cup and ruin its function. The stem can be used to reposition the cup.
Removal
The cup is removed by finding the cup's stem and guide your fingers to the rounded bottom. You can use your fingers to pinch the bottom carefully and bulge the side in of the cup until the vacuum seal release. When it has released you can use the stem and bottom of cup to carefully lower the cup out of your vagina in a vertical position to not spill the blood inside. You empty the blood in the toilet and wipe the cup out with tissue before insertion again- or you clean it below a tap with soap and water. Make sure to rinse the cup in clean water before insertion. Especially note that the stem is not meant to break the vacuum seal removing the cup but for this you use a finger on the side.
