Lunette Menstrual Cup - Violet - Reusable Model 1 Menstrual Cup for Light Flow

Product Information

For many, there is a learning curve when it comes to the first few cycles. Not to worry! We’re the go-to-people for any menstrual cup questions you may have. Seriously, any.

Although the manufacturer says the DivaCup should be replaced every 12 months, many people report using them for a lot longer than that. 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. This cup is made of medical-grade silicone, so it’s free of chemicals and bisphenol A (BPA). It’s very pliant, which makes it easier for some people to insert. Best of all, reviewers say it’s easy to clean, thanks to the large holes on the top of the rim and the fact that it’s overall smooth. 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. Very light bleeding: Needing to change a low-absorbency tampon or pad one or two times per day, though you may prefer to change them more frequently.You should always wash your hands before you handle a menstrual cup, or put anything into your vagina for that matter! You don’t want to introduce all sorts of foreign bacteria in there because this can cause things like yeast infections, or bacterial vaginosis, as the pH balance gets disrupted. Take a "dry run" before your period: You might be more comfortable practicing before your period if you feel squeamish about touching blood. In this case, use water as a lubricant. Size. While different manufacturers will have their own names, most cups are offered in small or large sizes. Smaller sizes are typically intended for lighter flow days and people who are new to menstrual cups. Larger sizes are for heavier flow days, those with menstrual cup experience, and people who have had two or more vaginal births. 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.

Leaving your cup to soak can help to remove discolouration and smells. Rubbing alcohol, lemon juice or a 50/50 mixture of water and vinegar are all great natural ingredients that you use to freshen up your cup. After soaking for an hour, just make sure to boil your cup for 20 minutes to remove any residue (you’re welcome!). We’ve created a starter kit that is perfect for those who haven't tried menstrual cups before and are on a budget. This kit has everything you need to keep your cup clean and sanitary, along with both cup sizes to cater both light and heavy flows. All set! This size is made from a softer silicone than size 2 making it especially good for teens and younger users. The best way to keep your cup squeaky clean is to use our Feelbetter Cup Cleanser or Lunette Cupwipes. Our cleaning products are specifically formulated to be 100% safe for your body and will keep your menstrual cup clean, fresh and odour-free. 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.One alternative you may want to consider is a menstrual cup. Compared with single-use products, a cup is more eco-friendly, doesn’t have to be changed as frequently, and may be less prone to leakage. We love products made in Europe (as well as North America) because they’re manufactured according to strict stands from top-quality materials.

Most people feel a bit nervous about using a menstrual cup like the Lunette for the first time. It’s a LOT bigger than a tampon, and you might wonder if it’s really comfortable to use. Some brands of tampons contain trace amounts of toxic chemicals in them. They come from the manufacturing process, as well as the pesticides used to grow the cotton. 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. Claiming to be the world’s first collapsible menstrual cup, the Intimina lily cup compact can be pulled out to form a traditional funnel shape when needed. It can also be collapsed flat and slot into a protective case, making it easy and discreet for when you’re on the move. Squeeze bottom to release suction: This is the key - the bottom of the cup has ridges for gripping. Grip the bottom and tweak the cup to the side. The idea is to pull an edge away from the vaginal wall to release the suction. You will hear or feel it when this happens.Lunette is a company that is serious about women’s health. They make top-quality products that are very safe to use. Risks associated with menstrual cups are similar to those of other interior menstrual products. You may feel a little discomfort during insertion. Rashes or allergic reactions are rare, but possible. How do you know when a menstrual cup is full? Don’t panic, that’s why we’re here. Although you’d be well off with either menstrual cup size, we want to make sure you’re comfortable with your choice. Our Model 1 Cup is made of soft, medical grade silicone, and is perfect for a light to normal flow.
