t's very easy. Once you have washed your hands, assume a comfortable position. We recommend having your knees slightly bent and legs open (squatting). While holding the UVA menstrual cup folded and lubricated in one hand, open the vaginal lips with the other hand and insert it with the nozzle facing upwards. Once it's fully inserted, release the cup and let it open. It will perfectly adapt to your body.

Our UVA menstrual cup is made of German medical-grade silicone gel, a material that makes it safe, soft, and gentle for greater comfort, hygiene, and easy cleaning.

To check if your UVA menstrual cup is properly inserted, twist it 360° by holding the base. It should rotate fully and easily. If you feel resistance or notice that it is not fully opened in its oval shape or has folds, remove it and reinsert it until it is properly placed. It may take a little practice at first, but you'll get used to it over time.

The maximum time you should leave the UVA menstrual cup inserted is 12 hours; but keep in mind that the frequency of changes will depend on the amount and intensity of your flow. Usually, it's recommended to empty it 2 to 4 times a day.

You can use a menstrual cup after giving birth as long as you have had a complication-free postpartum period; otherwise, you should consult your doctor. If you were already using the UVA menstrual cup before giving birth, keep in mind all the changes your body has undergone, such as nine months without bleeding, dilation, and weakening of the vaginal walls, so give yourself time to readjust to using the cup.

The UVA menstrual cup includes a sterilizing cup for cleaning, which is very easy to use: Place the cup inside the sterilizer, fill it with water until the cup is completely covered. Then, microwave it for 3 or 4 minutes. After finishing, carefully pour out the water and let the cup and sterilizer cool down. Place your cup inside a pot, fill it with water until the cup is completely covered, and heat it until the water reaches its boiling point. After 2 minutes, remove the UVA menstrual cup and let it cool down in the environment.

It is recommended not to use it in that case until you have fully recovered. Remember to consult your doctor or gynecologist.

No, it is important to use only specific products for cleaning the UVA menstrual cup. Using other products can damage the material and compromise its safety and hygiene. The UVA menstrual cup comes with a sterilizer and can be cleaned with water and mild soap. Avoid using products that contain perfumes or fragrances.

It is recommended to clean it before and after each use; and sterilize it on the first and last day of the period, wash it with intimate soap at least once a day, and wash hands thoroughly. Before coming into contact with the cup, make sure to have good nail hygiene, as dirt or bacteria can be hidden underneath them.

It is very important to maintain good hygiene at all times and follow the instructions to empty the menstrual cup at least every 12 hours. If blood is left in the cup for too long, bacteria can develop. Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is a disease caused by a bacteria, and although using the cup reduces the chances of getting infections because it protects your vaginal flora and maintains the balanced pH, it is essential to keep the area very clean and follow all hygiene instructions.

If you have a low cervix, you will need a short cup (that fits inside your vaginal canal) but if you have a medium or high cervix, any height can work for you.

Insert a finger into the vaginal canal and locate the cervix. It feels like the tip of a nose and has a different texture. Can you reach it? If you can't reach it, you definitely have a high cervix. If you can reach it, when you take your finger out, measure how far you had to insert your finger. A low cervix is less than 7cm. We believe that comfort and the amount of flow are the most important criteria when choosing your cup. Comfort comes from good quality material and ease of insertion. The shorter the cup, the less distance it has to travel inside, making it easier to insert.

The UVA menstrual cup can be used by all menstruating individuals, however, we always advise that you speak with your doctor before using it, especially if you have any specific conditions. If you have had a recent natural childbirth, you should wait a few months before using it. Consult with your doctor on when you can resume using it.

The first thing you should do is immediately remove it. Be careful because it may have filled completely, so remove it slowly and try to keep it upright.

It is recommended to talk to your healthcare provider before using any menstrual product for the first time.

The IUD or IUS is placed inside the uterus and the menstrual cup goes in the vaginal canal. The uterus and vagina are separated by the cervix, which is like the roof of the vagina. However, although it is not easy for this to happen, it is possible that when removing the menstrual cup, the suction may pull the strings and dislodge the IUD or IUS. For this reason, it is very important to press on the menstrual cup before removing it and check that the strings are in place.
