Yes, you can, and it is even a better solution for your condition, as you should use chemical-free products and let your menstrual flow happen naturally. This is why many doctors do not recommend tampons for endometriosis. See our blog.

The menstrual cup is inserted into the vagina and collects the menstrual blood. It is placed in the vaginal opening and creates a vacuum which protects against blood leaks. If used correctly, the cup is the most effective product to protect against any blood flow without it being noticeable inside or interfering with your daily activities.

A menstrual cup is the safest way to protect yourself from leakage. To enjoy the benefits of a menstrual cup, you need to choose the right size and insert the cup correctly.

You should empty the cup at least every 10 to 12 hours, depending on how much you are bleeding, to avoid leakage.

It may take a few tries to insert and remove the cup correctly, but once it's done, you can enjoy 100% protection.

Some people also choose to sleep with menstrual panties on, just to feel 100% safe.

Femi.Eko® menstrual cups have the following capacity:

SIZE A/ S - max. volume 26 ml.

SIZE B/ M - max. volume 32 ml.

SIZE TEEN – maximum volume 18 ml.

All women are different and so are their periods. If you have heavy bleeding, it may be a good idea to empty the menstrual cup more often.

First of all, congratulations for thinking about it :). We know it takes a leap of faith to change old habits, but it's the best decision for a more sustainable period.

Don't be put off by what you may have already read. Getting started may be easier than you think.

The best place to start is by reading our manual (which comes with your product in the box). Give it at least 3 months to try the cup to get the perfect experience. And yes, we said PERFECT, because you will be completely surprised at how much you struggled in your life until you found this stress-free way to manage your period.

If you're still having trouble finding the right size for you, or if you want to see if the menstrual cup is the product you need, take our test and see for yourself.

If you have problems such as urinary tract infections (UTI), an intrauterine device/coil inserted, anatomical peculiarities such as uterine retroversion or postpartum scars, we recommend talking to your doctor first and seeing if it is better to buy Femi.EKO menstrual discs instead of a menstrual cup.

You can use a menstrual cup if you are a virgin, as it will not damage your hymen if you insert it correctly. The Femi.Eko® menstrual cup for teenagers is specially developed for the specific anatomy of young girls.

We only recommend cup size TEEN / XS as it is a friendly product for first menstruation, virgins and teenagers.

If you are a teenager over 18 years old, or if you have started your sexual life, you can use the menstrual cup in size A/S.

STEP 1: Hygiene is important whenever we talk about our private parts, so wash your hands thoroughly before using the menstrual cup.

STEP 2: Fold your disinfected Femi.Eko® Menstrual Cup into a C shape to make it easier to insert. If this is your first time using a menstrual cup, it will help to breathe and remember that it is normal to try a few times before you get the cup in the right position.

STEP 3: Hold the cup in a C-shape and get into a position where you can easily access the vaginal opening. You can lift one leg or stand with one leg on the toilet seat. Whatever works best for you is perfect!

STEP 4: Open your vagina with one hand, then insert the menstrual cup (still folded, remember?) into your vagina as far as you can go and feels comfortable. Don't worry if it doesn't work the first time. You didn't learn to ride a bike right away, did you? Just relax and try again. It's worth it, trust us!

STEP 5: Rotate the menstrual cup inside your vagina to ensure it opens completely and forms a seal inside. This is important as it will ensure that there are no leaks for up to 12 hours.

When your cycle is over, simply wash the menstrual cup, disinfect it and place it in your Femi.Eko® special bag that you received in the original package.

You can remove the menstrual cup by inserting a finger along the side to loosen the suction or by gently squeezing the stem (at the bottom of the cup).

Do not pull it without breaking the vacuum seal with your finger! All you have to do is push the menstrual cup out with your pelvic floor muscles and press on its bottom with your finger to break the seal, then grasp both sides of the menstrual cup with a finger and remove it in a rotating motion. You will not feel any discomfort or pain if everything is done correctly.

Removing the menstrual cup can be easy, and gets easier with the experience of a few times. Give it time and don't stress.

You can use your Menstrual Cup for up to 12 hours and the recommendation is to empty it twice a day or every 10 to 12 hours. If you have heavy bleeding, you should empty it more often as this will help you avoid leaks.

You should always clean your Femi.Eko® Menstrual Cup after each use. Sterilize it after each cycle by boiling it in water for 5 minutes, or use our Femi.Eko® sterilizer which you can find under accessories. If you do not have a sterilizer, you can clean the menstrual cup with water and natural soap, remember to rinse it thoroughly. The hardened blood pieces can be carefully removed with a soft brush. If the blood is stuck in the holes of the cup, you can fill your Femi.Eko® Menstrual Cup with water, place it between your palms and simply squeeze the cup so that the water is flushed out through the holes.

Before using your menstrual cup for the first time, or between periods, it may be a good idea to sterilize it. Put water in a pot and bring it to a boil, then place your Femi.Eko® Menstrual Cup in the boiling water for up to 10 minutes the first time, and only 5 minutes between periods. If you have a sterilizer available, use it. Don't worry: the menstrual cup will not change its properties when boiled, but make sure that the water used does not contain too much lime to avoid limescale deposits.

Do not use harmful chemicals to clean your menstrual cup, such as vinegar, tea tree oil, castile soap, antibacterial soap, common hand sanitizers, hydrogen peroxide, and other household products, and do not put it in the dishwasher, as this can damage the silicone and cause infections.

Sometimes you may have to empty your menstrual cup in a public restroom. Don't worry about that! Just follow this routine: wash your hands thoroughly, remove the cup, pour the blood into the toilet, rinse the menstrual cup thoroughly with water (you can take a water bottle with you to the restroom), reinsert the cup, and then wash your hands.

We know that many public toilets do not have a water tap near the toilet, so a bottle of water can solve this problem.

The Femi.Eko® menstrual cup is anatomically designed to prevent leakage if inserted and used correctly. However, there may be some exceptions, such as: –

– if the menstrual cup is too small

– if a menstrual cup is not inserted correctly

– if your bleeding is too heavy

– if it is not emptied as often as necessary.

You should be aware that the menstrual cup can sometimes become dislodged due to bowel or cervical movements, resulting in leakage.

If you can't match a cup, we recommend that you try Femi.Eko® Menstrual Pads , as they are easy to use and wear from the first try.

The menstrual cup has nothing to do with your period pain or cramps, and in fact, many women experience fewer cramps when using menstrual cups and reusable menstrual products, as they are less harmful to natural bleeding and do not contain bleaching composites like tampons and sanitary pads often do.

The natural flow of blood is not stopped when using a Menstrual Cup, and the cup does not absorb the blood. Nor does it prevent natural discharge, which, when it occurs, can disrupt the natural menstrual process.

If you suffer from menstrual cramps, or if they get worse, make an appointment with your doctor to find out the cause.

Like all other menstrual products, the menstrual cup, if not used correctly, can cause infections.

But keep in mind that menstrual cups are a safer way to get through your period than tampons or reusable pads , as the cup is airtight and thus prevents bacteria from forming.

Always wash your hands with soap or use a disinfectant before and after inserting and removing the menstrual cup.

Empty the cup at least every 10 to 12 hours to minimize the risk of infections.

You don't need to lubricate your menstrual cup to insert it, but if you do, make sure to use a safe lubricant. Do not use harmful chemicals to clean your cup, such as vinegar, tea tree oil, castile soap, antibacterial soap, common hand sanitizers, hydrogen peroxide, and other household products, and do not put it in the dishwasher, as this can damage the silicone and cause infections.

Wash the cup with clean water or boil it for 5-10 minutes after your period is over, and sterilize it again before using it for your next period.

Store the menstrual cup in the cotton bag you received in the package.

You should discuss using the cup with your doctor if:

– you use an intrauterine device for contraception (sometimes it is necessary to shorten the string attached to the device so that you do not pull it out when you remove your menstrual cup)

– you have had TSS

– you have recently undergone a gynecological operation, given birth or had a miscarriage

– you have a vaginal infection

– you have never had intercourse and you are worried about preserving your hymen

- if you have increasing cramps, blood between periods or any kind of pain.
