The menstrual cup: an alternative to tampons.

Do you want to experience your period in comfort, while still protecting the planet? The menstrual cup is an ideal option!

This sustainable sanitary protection provides you easy application. It fits and removes easily thanks to its more thin and malleable silicone than most other menstrual cups!

Mme L’Ovary offers you the cup in two sizes, adapted according to your menstrual flow. The small format will suit young women or those with a seldom heavy flow and the large format for women who have already given birth, or those who have heavy periods.

The cup works perfectly alternating with Mme L’Ovary panties:

Give your body a break: wear the menstrual cup during the day, and Mme L’Ovary’s menstrual panties at night.
A complementary duo: Wear the menstrual cup on heavier days, and Mme L’Ovary panties on lighter days.
An ideal duo: during the ultra-heavy flow days, wear the menstrual cup in addition to the daytime menstrual panties (with or without pads) to avoid possible leaks.

How do I insert a menstrual cup?

First, choose a place that suits you. This could be in the toilet, in a bathtub, in a shower, or in bed. The important thing is to feel comfortable and relaxed.

To insert the menstrual cup, spread your labia and gently insert the cup, folded funnel-side down. Once you've located the vaginal opening, insert the cup and rotate it a few times until you feel comfortable. Then slowly release it to allow it to open.

If you're having trouble opening your menstrual cup, first place it at the vaginal opening. Then, gently slide your fingers up to the rim to open it and allow air in if needed. You can then twist it to a comfortable position.

How should I position it?

A menstrual cup sits lower than a tampon. It may shift slightly to find the best position for your anatomy. To prevent leaks, it's important thatThe menstrual cup is positioned either under the cervix or around it.The small stem of the cup should not protrude, or should reach just to the entrance of the vagina in order to avoid any discomfort.

Removing the menstrual cup

The menstrual cup creates a sort of suction effect once it's inserted. Therefore, avoid pulling directly on the stem, as this will create a suction sensation. Instead, squat down and begin pushing with your pelvic floor muscles. The menstrual cup will gradually descend, making it easier to remove.

You need to "peel" the cup. There are 3 ways to do this:

Pinch the bottom of the cup;
Pull the stem gently from one side and then the other;
Insert a finger up to the rim/ridge of the menstrual cup and detach it from the wall.

Menstrual cup care and hygiene rules

For effective and proper use of the menstrual cup, wash your hands before and after handling it. When the menstrual cup is full, remove it and empty it. Before reinserting it, rinse it thoroughly.

The menstrual cup must be removedat least 2 or 3 times a dayBetween menstrual periods, it is necessary to boil the cup to sterilize it.

You should also watch for signs of deterioration such as a sticky or powdery film, discoloration or odors.

Strong odours are produced when blood comes into contact with synthetic materials like plastic.

The reaction between our blood and the chemical components in sanitary pads or tampons is what's responsible for those strong smells you sometimes notice.

It's super important not to associate your menstrual blood with smelly and embarrassing waste!

When blood comes into contact with natural fibres like cotton, the smell is way softer and more neutral.

What are we trying to say? It's simple. You've got nothing to worry about if you're wearing a pair of Mme L’Ovary panties.
