A silicone menstrual cup is a feminine hygiene product that is usually made of medical grade silicone, which is very soft to the touch. It is shaped like a bell and has a short handle.
How do I use a silicone menstrual cup?
Please clean the new cup before use. Boil silicone cups in boiling water for 5-6 minutes to sterilize them, but not rubber ones! Then clean with a particular menstrual cup cleaning solution, or rinse thoroughly with neutral or mildly acidic soap or bath essence and water.
Washing your hands first is a must. Fold the menstrual cup in the opposite direction, keep the user in a sitting or squatting position, spread your legs wide, squeeze the cup with your fingers and squeeze the two sides of the cup into the middle, squeeze the cup into a strip and push it slowly into the deep vagina with a slight tilt downwards, then release your fingers and the cup will fully unfold and attach to the cervical opening.
To replace the cup, simply remove it by squeezing the short handle or the bottom of the cup, empty the contents, and wash it with water or unscented detergent to use again.
After use, please wash the menstrual cup with warm water and soap during menstruation, and disinfect it with boiling water or a disinfectant solution during menstruation.
Boiling water: Boil the container full of water for 2-5 minutes.
Disinfection: Soak in a disinfectant solution.
Benefits of silicone menstrual cups
Silicone menstrual cups are becoming more and more widely used, becoming a new trend in feminine hygiene products, so what are the benefits of silicone menstrual cups?
1. More comfortable experience
When inserted correctly, the silicone menstrual cup should not leak or cause any discomfort. The menstrual fluid stays in the vagina in liquid form rather than being absorbed like a pad or in semi-solidified form like a tampon, so using a silicone menstrual cup can be very relaxing and comfortable, and silicone menstrual cups last longer and prevent infection problems better than tampons and pads.
2. Economical
Silicone menstrual cups are reusable menstrual products that are more economical than those disposable pads and pads, and in the long run, users will save money by using silicone menstrual cups. Silicone menstrual cups help reduce solid waste production and silicone menstrual cups are easily degradable. At the same time, some disposable sanitary napkins and tampons take 25 years to degrade and can cause significant environmental impacts in the ocean and on land.
3. Observe menstruation
If a woman needs to track her menstrual production, silicone menstrual cups allow her to estimate the amount as a marker for their measurement more accurately. Measuring and tracking your menstruation helps you understand the health of your cycle.
There are many other benefits of silicone menstrual cups, and women need to determine if they are suitable for using silicone menstrual cups, as they do have disadvantages and some people find them uncomfortable to use.
