FAQs

A menstrual cup is a reusable feminine hygiene product made from medical-grade silicone. It's a small, flexible funnel-shaped cup that you insert into your vagina to collect menstrual fluid.

PureCup menstrual cups are designed to be inserted into the vagina during menstruation. They collect menstrual fluid rather than absorbing it, unlike tampons or pads. The cup forms a seal against the vaginal wall just below the cervix. Every 4 to 12 hours (depending on your flow), you should remove the cup, empty it, wash it, and reinsert it.

PureCup menstrual cups come in two sizes: small and Regular. Women under 30 who haven't given birth vaginally may prefer the small size, while women over 30 and/or those who have given birth vaginally may find the Regular size more suitable. If you have a heavy flow, you might also prefer the Regular size.

Before first use and at the end of each cycle, sterilize your cup by boiling it in water for 5-7 minutes. During your period, after removing and emptying the cup, wash it with warm water and mild, unscented soap before reinserting.

Yes, PureCup menstrual cups are made from medical-grade silicone, which is hypoallergenic and safe for use in the body. However, as with any menstrual product, it's essential to maintain good hygiene. Always wash your hands before inserting or removing your cup, and keep the cup clean.

It's generally safe to use a menstrual cup with an IUD. However, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before use.

With proper care, a PureCup menstrual cup can last several years. We recommend replacing your cup if you notice any signs of wear and tear, such as cracks, tears, or changes in texture or color.

Absolutely! One of the benefits of a menstrual cup is that it provides reliable protection during all types of physical activities, including swimming and exercising.

If your PureCup is leaking, it might not be fully open or properly sealed against your vaginal wall. You can check by running your finger around the base of the cup to make sure it's fully open. If the cup is not fully open, try rotating it or gently pressing the base to create the seal.
