Lunette Menstrual Cups are made in Finland. The Lunette Menstrual Cup is a bell-shaped cup that gives you a comfortable, safe, odorless and eco-friendly period for up to 12 hours a day. The Lunette has an expected lifespan of up to 10 years making it highly economical. Applying a small amount of lube to the outside of the menstrual cup before insertion can help [if the flow is very light],” she adds. “For heavier flows, a menstrual cup is ideal as it collects the period blood rather than absorbing it.” It’s also worth noting that it can take time to get used to a menstrual cup so don’t feel deflated or frustrated if you have to switch between a cup and other period wear before making a full transition. Try different folds that accentuate the insertion poin: Most menstruators use the typical C-fold. However, there are many ways to fold a Lunette. The video here will show you nine different folds. First things first, wash your hands and clean the Lunette cup by washing it with water and a mild liquid soap free of coloring agents and perfumes. We recommend using our Lunette Cup Cleanser that smells like eucalyptus and is chemical free, making it completely safe for your vagina and pH levels. Remember those 10,000 tampons? They’re far more expensive than a few periodcups over a lifetime. Make the switch today and get ready to save money, and lots of it. Better for your HealthA question you might be asking yourself is if these colour dyes are safe. Some of the companies that only make one cup colour will sometimes tell you that they’re not. However, here’s what the Lunette company has to say. This is shorter (by 4 mm), and has a lower capacity (by 5 ml) than the small size Diva to which it’s often compared.

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 ovulation, some women have a shorter luteal phase, making it harder to get pregnant. Here are the causes, symptoms, and treatment options. READ MORE Let’s talk about this sanitary cup specifically. It has an average stiffness, and it’s neither very hard, nor very soft. That’s why people seem to like it so much. It’s reasonably easy to insert, but it doesn’t press so strongly.

With Lunette, the health-conscious can rejoice, for there is another way! All Lunette Menstrual Cups are made free from harmful chemicals and are 100% safe for human tissue. In fact, a Danish study of seven of the top menstrual cup brands found that Lunette was the only cup tested that contained no harmful substances. Zero! Get Acquainted with yourself: It is always a good idea to know your own body. Take some time to locate the vaginal opening and even insert a finger to locate your cervix. It feels like the tip of your nose. Knowing where your cervix is will help you to position the cup properly and not insert it too high. If you have a high cervix, you may not be able to feel it with your fingers, which is totally normal! The Lunette Cup Model 1 is suited to menstruators who experience light to normal flow, resulting in anything from spotting to light bleeding. If you normally find yourself changing a low or regular-absorbency tampon or pad two to three times a day, this is the size for you. If the strings seem longer than normal, your IUD has probably moved. See your doctor if this is the case. Leave it to soak: Leaving your cup to soak can help to remove discolouration and smells. Rubbing alcohol, lemon juice or a 50/50 mixture of water and vinegar are all great natural ingredients that you use to freshen up your cup. After soaking for an hour, just make sure to boil your cup for 20 minutes to remove any residue (you’re welcome!).

However, others prefer softer cups which can feel more comfortable because they don’t press so strongly. This is especially important if you’ve tried some of the very stiff cups and found that they gave you cramps. Average Stiffness Other cups that fall into the average stiffness category include the Anigan Evacup, and the Juju Cup. Relax and take your time: Choose alone time when you can focus without distractions or interruptions. Perhaps after a warm bath when you are relaxed. If you are too nervous, the vaginal muscles will tighten, making it uncomfortable, if not impossible, for successful insertion. Our founder, Heli, designed Lunette when there were only three cups on the market. Now with over 150 brands to choose from, Lunette is the only one passing the vigorous Danish chemical safety test.Okay, so you currently use tampons, and you’re mostly happy with them. Why bother making the switch from them to a reusable menstrual cup like the Lunette? There are tons of reasons, but a few of our favourites include the following. Read more: Better for the Environment Most people feel a bit nervous about using a menstrual cup like the Lunette for the first time. It’s a LOT bigger than a tampon, and you might wonder if it’s really comfortable to use. The best way to keep your cup squeaky clean is to use our Feelbetter Cup Cleanser or Lunette Cupwipes. Our cleaning products are specifically formulated to be 100% safe for your body and will keep your menstrual cup clean, fresh and odour-free.

Take a deep breath and actively push the cup down with your pelvic muscles as you reach in to pull it out. They define normal as having to change a regular pad or tampon every 3-4 hours. And then a heavy flow as having to change a heavy pad or jumbo tampon in that same time frame, or even sooner. The Saalt Soft Menstrual Cup is made with ultra-soft, medical-grade silicone that’s designed to be extra gentle. That makes it a good choice for people who experience bladder sensitivity, cramping, or discomfort with firmer menstrual cups. They note that some discolouration is normal, and doesn’t mean that you need to replace the cup. However, with proper cleaning, you can minimize this discolouration. How Often do I have to Empty it? The capacity of the smaller cup (25ml) is not enough for people with really heavy periods. Instead, we suggest one of these high-capacity cups that can hold up to 40 ml.Mornings can be particularly difficult because menstrual cups often migrate higher up. Wait and hour or two after waking up if you have trouble right away. You can use them to wipe the cup, inside and out, as well as wipe your hands when you’re done. Or, Use Toilet Paper
