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

Product Information

It’s made in Finland of the highest quality, medical-grade silicone. European or North American menstrual cups are usually a far better buy than the cheap ones made in China , even though they can be double or triple the price. They don’t leak, and will also last far longer due to the high quality materials. The suction seal ensures that no menstrual fluid can escape. Instead, it’s collected in the cup. You can wear the Lunette for 8-12 hours (or a little bit less if you have a very heavy flow). The next thing to expect is that you won’t get the hang of inserting and removing it right away. This is normal. Expect some struggle! It takes most people at least 2-3 cycles to really feel confident with this. Use a pad in the meantime and don’t worry too much about it. Save Lots of Money A menstrual cup is a reusable device worn inside the vagina that creates a seal against your vaginal wall and collects menstrual blood rather than absorbing it like a tampon. Menstrual Cups come in all shapes and sizes and most commonly are made of medical grade silicone. They are just as safe as tampons but most importantly they are more comfortable and make your period easier to manage. Are menstrual cups messy to use?

Lunette mentions that you should use their special Feelbetter Menstrual Cup Cleanserto make your cup “squeaky clean,” but in our opinion, it’s probably unnecessary. Most people find that plain old soap and water works quite wellMost people find that this isn’t a big deal and they just have to be a little bit patient. However, for some, this can cause some serious discomfort. If this is the case for you, we recommend switching to a softer menstrual cup. These cups will not push so strongly, and will in turn not restrict the urethra. What about Swimming or Traveling? Be aware! Neither the Lunette menstrual cup, nor the Soft Cup are contraceptive devices. You’ll need to use some other form of protection to prevent pregnancy and/or STI’s. How Does the Lunette Cup Compare? If you want a high quality menstrual cup, you can’t go wrong with the Lunette Cup. It’s manufactured in Finland of the highest quality silicone. Lunette is a company who is serious about providing a great product. We love products made in Europe (as well as North America) because they’re manufactured according to strict stands from top-quality materials.

The average tampons holds around 5 ml of fluid, while a jumbo one holds 10 ml. Compare this to the Lunette Cup which holds 25 ml (small) or 30 ml (large). With the Lunette Menstrual Cup, you won’t just be saving money — you’ll be saving the planet, too! On average, menstruators will use 22 disposable products during a cycle — that adds up to a whopping 12,000 during a lifetime! All of that disposable waste adds up, which is where we come in.

When you rinse your cup, remember to always use cold water to avoid staining it! If your cup is already stained, let it sit under the sun for a couple hours, or soak it in spirit vinegar or lemon juice and boil it for... you guessed it, 20 MINUTES! Cleaning the menstrual cup air-holes If you have a low sitting cervix, have really strong pelvic floor muscles or a sensitive bladder Size 1 could be a better choice for you due to the small shape and softer silicone.

After that time, you can remove the cup by pinching in at the base to break the suction seal. Dump the contents into the toilet.

Heaving bleeding is when you need to change a high absorbency tampon or pad every three to four hours, though you may prefer to change more frequently. After you’ve washed both your hands and cup, boil it (yes, like in a pot) in water for 20 minutes before first usage. Make sure that there is enough water so that the cup does not burn on the bottom and it can float!

The dyes are approved by the FDA for medical, as well as food use, because they don’t contain heavy metals, or phthalates. The colours are inside the silicone, so it’s impossible for them to leach from the cup into your vaginal canal. This is unlike the cheaper ones which don’t take these same precautions. Pros: As an alternative to special wipes, you could use plain, old toilet paper. It has the advantage of being free! Bring a Water Bottle At home, at work, on the go!
