How reliable is my menstrual cup?

 

So, you've decided to purchase your Ruby Cup congratulations! The excitement is real. No more last-minute dashes to the store for tampons or pads, no more digging through your handbag hoping to find a spare, and no more whispering, "Can you check me?" to your bestie in fear of leaks.

Instead, you're stepping into a world where your period doesn’t hold you back. Ruby Cup and our Period Underwear are about to become your new best friends, making those monthly visits feel like a minor blip, not a major production.

Let’s turn that excitement up a notch and dive into the things you never thought you'd do on your period — because with Ruby’s sustainable and trustworthy products, you absolutely can. Here are the top 5 things you absolutely can do while using Ruby products.

1. Run a Marathon (or Just to the Fridge)

Your Ruby Cup isn’t budging. Whether you're conquering 42 kilometers or just speed-walking to grab snacks, you’re covered. Literally. Ruby Cup stays right where it needs to be. Comfort and protection? Check. 

2. Binge a Whole Netflix Series in One Sitting

Sometimes the best way to deal with period cramps is to curl up on the couch and escape into another world. Ruby Cup makes sure you can binge-watch guilt-free, without worrying about sudden surprises. Prop your feet up, grab some snacks, and let the episodes roll. You’re in good hands (and underwear).

3. Go Swimming

Ruby Cup’s design means no leaks, no swelling, and no strings. Whether you're swimming laps at the pool or enjoying a casual dip at the beach, your period stays firmly under wraps. Plus, Ruby Underwear is the perfect cozy companion for that post-swim dry-off moment, quick and easy. 

4. Nap Like a Queen

Ah, the sacred period nap – is there anything better? With Ruby Cup, you can sprawl out in any position and drift off into the deepest sleep without worrying about leaks. Starfish, fetal position, or sprawled out diagonally across the bed – your cup isn’t going anywhere. And let’s be real, waking up to zero leaks is the ultimate period win. Sweet dreams, queen.

5. Boost Your Orgasms

Yes, you read that right. Menstrual cups like Ruby Cup can improve your orgasms. How? The cup sits comfortably against your vaginal walls, providing subtle pressure and enhancing sensitivity. Plus, by eliminating the dryness often caused by tampons, your body stays naturally lubricated, making intimacy during your period way more enjoyable.
