1) How will this cup fit inside my vaginal cavity?

It will. It is just the perfect size to fit inside although women who are sexually active may find it easier to use it. In fact, once it’s inside you won’t even feel it. It wouldn’t even occur to you that there’s something in there. Once inserted inside your vaginal cavity, it forms a suction/vacuum that helps it stay inside with no worries at all. So much so that you can run, swim, wear that white trouser and be sure that there will be no spotting.

2) How is that possible?

Well, it is made in such a way that it just about fits inside your cavity and doesn’t move unless you take it out. So it collects all the flow and all you have to do is take it out, rinse and put it back!

3) Is that a hygienic thing to do?
It's probably the most hygienic way of going through your periods. There's no blood on the pads that you have to see, there's no odour, there's no worry of disposing used pads. All you need to do is sterilise it before and after your periods. During your periods, you only need to rinse it properly under running water. It is much, much more hygienic than pads or tampons, which may cause Toxic Shock Syndrome, itching, redness, rashes, etc.

4) How do I clean it?

a) At the beginning of each period:

• Use hot water to sterilise it. Take hot / boiling water in a mug and put the cup in it.
• You can also boil the cup in a vessel full of water so that the cup does not settle in bottom and burn.
• You can wash the cup with mild non fragrant soap before putting it in hot water.
• Sterilise the cup before your periods in boiling water for 8-10 mins.

b) During period:
1. Remove the cup from the vaginal cavity and rinse it thoroughly in fresh running water. That’s all! 2. You can wash it with warm/hot water with the soap strips provided or with a mild soap.

c) At the end of each period:

• Use hot water to sterilise it. Take hot / boiling water in a mug and put the cup in it.
• You can wash the cup with mild non fragrant soap before putting it in hot water.
• Sterilise the cup before your periods in boiling water for 8-10 mins.

5) How often do I need to remove and rinse the cup during period?

Once in 8 to 12 hours is enough. Usually, once while taking the morning bath and once before going to bed is sufficient. For days with heavy flow, you can do it more frequently. It will take 3-4 cycles for you to get used to the cup. That will determine how often you need to empty the cup, which way is easier for you to insert and remove the cup. This process will also help you understand your body better. If the cup fits perfectly, there will be no spotting at all. There are only two reasons why spotting should happen:
a) The cup hasn't opened up inside.

b) The cup is full.

6) What if there is odour or stains on the cup?

Add 1 tbsp of soda bi carbonate or baking soda in a mug of hot water and soak the cup in the solution for 8-10 minutes. Wash and dry in sunlight for some time.

7) Do I need to replace my menstrual cup with a new one?

Usually, one cup will last a lifetime. If proper care is taken regarding sterilisation, there should be no issues. You need to order another one only if you lose the existing one!

8) How to store it?

After your periods, sterilise the cup in boiling water for 8-10 mins, let it dry completely and store it in the cloth pouch provided. Keep it in an airy, clean place. Do not store it in an airtight container.
