Product Information

I've got an average flow so only need to empty it morning and evening so I'm normally at home. More details are in our separate article "can i go to the toilet while using a menstrual cup." Can my menstrual cup get lost in me? If you like to go outside, then consider taking the Lunette along with you on your next trip. Here are a few reasons why you might want to: Many people want to know whether or not they should choose the Lunette Cup or the Diva Menstrual Cup. In reality, both are great period cups and you couldn’t go wrong with either of them. Yes absolutely. No chance of any leaking blood down your legs, any escaped strings. I do find that some water leaks into the cup which comes out when the cup is removed. This is fine and if you weren't wearing a cup water would get into your vagina anyway. I always empty my cup after swimming. Full Details In Our Article "Can I Go Swimming With A Cup?" Can I exercise with my menstrual cup in?

The biggest risk with menstrual cups is mild irritation or discomfort. More substantial risks like infection or TSS are rare. The smaller size in particular seems to be a great choice for those who’ve tried the smallest size Diva cup but couldn’t get it to not leak because the Lunette Menstrual Cup is more pliable. Heavy bleeding: Needing to change a high-absorbency tampon or pad every three to four hours, though you may prefer to change more frequently.
Very heavy bleeding or Gushing:
Protection hardly works at all. You would need to change the highest absorbency tampon or pad every hour or two. How does the menstrual cup differ from the tampon? Scandinavian brand Lunette offers their menstrual cup in a variety of colours, from blue to orange and purple. Why does colour matter? Well, some users prefer a coloured option, as over time the clear menstrual cups can become discoloured. With a vibrant shade, you don’t have that issue so much. The bell shaped cup is made of the highest quality medical silicone, is soft and comfortable to use. Squeeze bottom to release suction: This is the key - the bottom of the cup has ridges for gripping. Grip the bottom and tweek the cup to the side. The idea is to pull an edge away from the vaginal wall to release suction. You will hear it when this happens.The good news is that is comfortable. Most people can’t even feel it once it’s inserted. It’s soft, flexible, and well designed so that it’s not uncomfortable. Inserting and Removing it The dividing line between normal and heavy flow is 80 ml during your periods. Lunette menstrual cup model 1:

In terms of sizing, the Lunnette Cup is pretty average in the menstrual cup world. We do love that the small size is actually quite small, while the large is actually quite large. This is unlike many other companies that have a small and a large size, that are both quite average. You can trim the stem to the correct length. Start small because having some stem is useful for removing the Lunette. Sensitive Vagina? Pads and tampons may be the most popular choices when it comes to period products, but they aren’t the only options. Lunette has partnered with a few different organizations and their goal is to work towards positive change for women in the developing world. Their goal is to bring affordable, sustainable period products to women and girls everywhere.

Can you have sex with a menstrual cup in?

Not usually. However, some people do experience leaking while they’re asleep. This is because the muscles in the vaginal walls that hold the cup in place relax, so the seal may be broken. Taking care to insert it properly can help. Many people want to know how does it work? If you’re familiar with other menstrual cups like the Diva Cup (made in Canada), Lena Cup (made in the USA), or MoonCup (made in the United Kingdom), it’s exactly the same.

We actually can’t say enough good things about this one and it gets a solid two-thumbs up from us here . It can always be found on our list of the best period cups of the year, and it’s been this way for years! The company recommends that people with a normal to heavy flow use Model 2, because it has a slightly higher capacity of 30 ml. Most people find that this isn’t a big deal and they just have to be a little bit patient. However, for some, this can cause some serious discomfort. If this is the case for you, we recommend switching to a softer menstrual cup. These cups will not push so strongly, and will in turn not restrict the urethra. What about Swimming or Traveling? This award-nominated menstrual cup from certified B Corp&Sisters comes in three sizes: A, B and teen. Suitable to be worn for up to 12 hours, the cup comes in a chic pastel pink colour and has a patented “pebble” stem, which fans of the product say makes removal of the product easier. They define normal as having to change a regular pad or tampon every 3-4 hours. And then a heavy flow as having to change a heavy pad or jumbo tampon in that same time frame, or even sooner.

I have an IUD can I still use a menstrual cup?

Firmness. Menstrual cups can vary in softness. If you have a sensitive bladder or tend to find menstrual cups uncomfortable, look for the cups that are marketed as extra soft. Boil your cup: Popping your menstrual cup into boiling water for 5-10 minutes before and after your period will help to maintain the cleanliness of the cup and the health of your vagina. Just make sure you’re using a deep pot to boil water in or you may risk burning or warping the cup. Made of 100 per cent medical grade silicone, the Bettercup is available in two sizes and comes with a GOTS-certified cotton bag. Featuring quite a short stem, it’s worth noting that it might be a better option for those with a low cervix. Another concern that many people have during their period is worrying about smells. Thankfully, we’re all about taking care of period woes, which is why we’ve got a number of secrets to share with you to ensure your menstrual cup is always fresh and free of any funky smells. Reviewers mention how much more manageable and comfortable their periods are with the DivaCup. Others mention trying other brands, but only finding success with the DivaCup because of its length.

There is a whole range of options for menstrual cup firmness. Some people prefer stiff cups which just “pop” open once inside of you. This makes them very easy to insert, with minimal fuss and hassle. We love products made in Europe (as well as North America) because they’re manufactured according to strict stands from top-quality materials.

After you’ve washed both your hands and cup, boil it (yes, like in a pot) in water for 20 minutes before first usage. Make sure that there is enough water so that the cup does not burn on the bottom and it can float! You could also use their special wipes . Again, we’d mention that these special cup wipes probably aren’t really necessary, but if you have money to burn, why not? They are however, good for when you’re on the road and in public bathrooms where you don’t have easy access to a sink.
