Intimina Lily Cup Size A - Thin Menstrual Cup, Period Cup with Up to 8 Hours Use

Product Information

Used tampons for years until I heard about period cups, I was a bit scared of the idea to begin with until I heard more about them. When well cared for, one of the Lily Cups can last up to a decade (the Ziggy Cup is thinner, so it’s only good for 2 years). That’s like 3,000 tampons you’d use otherwise! It’s very comfortable once you’re used to it Today, there are tons of different types of menstrual cups on the market that vary in size and shape. Why Cups Are Better Than Pads or Tampons

Lily Cup One’s designed for people who are new to periods, or newly switching from pads and tampons to cups. It has several unique features designed specifically for those folks! The size of the cup also leads to more cup capacity. Your flow will determine whether you need a high capacity cup or not, says Dr. Greves. If the smaller size fits better but your flow is heavier, then you’ll need to empty it more frequently. For those with consistently heavy flows, a menstrual disc might be better suited as it typically holds more. Firmness Eco-friendly: A person can use around 11,000 single-use menstrual products in their lifetime. Using a reusable menstrual cup that lasts for several years significantly reduces menstrual cycle-related waste. Additionally, a 2021 study recommends using menstrual cups as an alternative to sanitary napkins to help reduce plastic waste. I didn’t think it was that messy when I finally got the cup out. Yes, your fingers will have some blood on them. And, yes, you will have to get up in there in your vagina, but you’re getting to know your own body. You can also see just how much blood your body loses during your period.Menstrual cups are becoming more and more trendy. Whether for their practical use, financial aspects or because of ecology, but many women are choosing menstrual cups over pads and tampons lately. Still, menstrual cups are unknown to many, so we decided to answer all of your questions and tell you everything you need to know about menstrual cups. I mean comfortable. This is going to be a very invasive experience, especially if you’re not used to really dealing with your nether regions or are a virgin. I so, so do not recommend trying out the cup for the first time while traveling or in an unfamiliar bathroom. As of 2021, there is very little research on the relationship between tampons and women’s health issues down the line. The most common concern is being exposed to a chemical called dioxin which is a byproduct of the bleaching process. It has previously been linked to cancer and endometriosis in women. The FDA now requires that companies use chlorine-free bleach during the bleaching process.

Samo obrnite jo navznoter in že ste pripravljene (tako bo steblo v notranjosti skodelice). Skodelica bo ravno tako učinkovita in le malenkost ji zmanjšamo zmogljivost (kapaciteto). This thinner material certainly doesn’t change its function and the cup holds fluid without spillage in exactly the same way. The case of the Lily Cup Compact Individuals inserting them for the first time may find using water or water-based lubricant helpful. I rate this feature highly; it makes it extremely portable. Sterilise in boiling water after each use, and then keep it in your bag so you need never forget it. The case will protect it from collecting fluff or getting wet if something spills in your bag.When you take it out, pinch the bottom of the cup first to release the seal, otherwise it might feel like you’re pulling all your internal organs out (been there…). Once you’ve done that, you just pull it out using the handle. Then you tip the blood out, rinse the cup and can use it again (if you’re not near a sink e.g. you’re in a public loo, you can wipe it with a tissue). How Much Does A Lily Cup Hold? How Long Can You Use It For? The company claims this menstrual cup provides 12 hour-protection. It has a pull-tab, making it easier for people to remove it, similar to a tampon. That’s a long time to have something inside of you. Taking this amount of time into consideration, and the absorbency of a vagina, it sounds like there could be some exposure over time. But, nothing has been proven. But maybe you’re a bit stressed out too. Buying a menstrual cup isn’t like buying a shirt—you don’t really have a frame of reference to choose the right size. Until now!
