Frequently asked questions about Menstrual Cups
The choice of size depends on several factors such as age, whether you've had vaginal births, and the amount of menstrual flow. In general, small cups are for young women or those who have not given birth, while large ones are for those over 30 or who have had children. The IRISCUP ROSA, for example, offers two sizes, ideal for beginners looking for comfort and a perfect fit.
To insert the cup, wash your hands thoroughly, fold the cup into a 'C' or '7' shape, and gently insert it into the vagina. Make sure it fully unfolds inside, creating a seal. For easier handling, THE PINK SIDE is especially valued for its ease of use and fit.
After each use, wash the cup with water and neutral soap. At the end of each cycle, it is important to sterilise it, which you can do by boiling it in water for 3 to 5 minutes or using a steriliser bag like the IRISANA, which is quick and safe.
The main differences lie in size, shape, and materials. For example, some cups like the EVE CUP are made from 100% Platinum silicone, making them especially hypoallergenic and comfortable for sensitive skin. Others have specific designs for sports activities or heavy flow.
