The menstrual cup is a natural alternative to tampons and pads. Its purpose is to collect the flow of your period, and its application is similar to that of a tampon.

Please read the instructions included in the box on how to insert and remove the cup. Keep the instructions since learning to use your cup can take up to a couple of cycles. If you have any questions, we are here to help.

Here are the basic steps:

1. Fold the cup and insert it into the vagina.
2. Go about your daily activities, including sports, swimming, and sleeping, as the cup is designed to be worn for up to 12 hours.
3. When it's time to remove the cup, empty its content, rinse it, and then reinsert again.

How long will it last?

When properly cared for, a menstrual cup can last up to 5 years or longer. It's essential to replace your cup if it becomes sticky or develops cracks.

Can a teen use a cup?

Yes, teenagers can use a menstrual cup. However, it's important for them to feel comfortable with their bodies and have a good understanding of their menstrual cycle before trying a cup. It may be helpful for teens to discuss cup usage with a trusted adult or healthcare provider for guidance and support.

How to clean a cup in a public bathroom?

All you need is a bottle of water to rinse the cup and wash your hands. Our GENTLE DAY wipes are also a great help, or you can wipe the cup with toilet paper and rinse it once water is available.

How do I know when my menstrual cup is full?

It's often difficult to know exactly how full your menstrual cup is. Some of these signs can also be caused by a cup that doesn't fit properly:

• A “heavy” feeling: You may feel a slight or noticeable sensation of fullness in your vaginal canal when the cup is reaching its capacity.
• A bubbling sensation. Cups that are about to overflow can create a feeling of bubbles.
• Light warning leaks.
• A slipping cup: As the cup fills up, it may start descending lower in the vagina.

It's important to familiarize yourself with your menstrual flow patterns and to keep track of the timing and amount of flow to determine when it's necessary to empty and clean your menstrual cup. Remember, it may take a few cycles to become familiar with your cup's capacity and determine how often it needs to be emptied.

Is there any leaks with a cup?

Usually, if a leak occurs, it is likely due to using the wrong cup size or improper insertion. Proper placement and a secure fit against the vaginal walls are essential for preventing leaks. If the cup fails to open inside the vagina, it may result in leakage. To help you adjust to using a cup, we recommend using liners or period panties during the first month. This will provide added protection and give you time to become accustomed to using the cup.

Can I use it with an IUD?

GENIAL Cup is classified as an average soft cup, making it safe to use with an IUD. Its flexibility minimizes the risk of accidentally displacing or dislodging the IUD during cup removal. However, if you have any concerns or specific questions regarding the compatibility of GENIAL Cup with your IUD, we strongly recommend consulting with your gynecologist.

Can I use the cup after giving birth?

Yes, you can use a menstrual cup after giving birth. However, it is important to wait until your postpartum bleeding has stopped. The cervix and vaginal muscles need time to heal after childbirth, so it's recommended to consult with your healthcare provider first.

Please contact us if you have any questions about the cup.
