Menstrual cups are the most low-cost menstrual product so far. Our cup is made of 100% Medical Grade Silicone. They are supposed to be inserted into your vagina. It can collect up to 15 ml of blood and it doesnt leak out. On average, we bleed just about 20 ml a day and the cup has the storing capacity of a minimum of 15 ml of blood depending on the size of the cup. You can be completely at ease and check on the cup once in 8 hours. There's absolutely no need to remove it while peeing or while doing absolutely anything else including swimming. Once you go cup, you always go yup. Our manufacturing facility is germ free and sterilized. However, some of you might still want to wash your cup once before inserting it for your own peace of mind. We are with you. During your cycle, you can just wash the menstrual cup with water and gentle unscented soap. However, when you are inserting it for the first time at the beginning of your next cycle, you must sterilize the cup. Once you buy the cup, you don't have to think about it for the next 5 years. It's safe since you won't be throwing away pads or tampons every 5 days of the month. A sustainable choice for all. The cup is reusable and can be recycled ensuring no harm to the planet. Menstrual Cups can cause the hymen to break at times depending on your body type. The hymen can break due to many reasons including swimming, dancing, horseback riding and other adventurous activities. The tearing of hymen in no way leads to loss of virginity.
