Recent studies prove that menstrual cups are safe. They're also safer than using tampons when it comes to Toxic Shock Syndrome.

SĆ, puoi dormire con la coppetta mestruale senza preoccuparti delle perdite e di macchiare le lenzuola. Ti consigliamo di svuotare la coppetta mestruale ogni 8 ore durante il giorno, prima di andare a letto e non appena ti alzi la mattina.
When inserted and placed correctly, your menstrual cup shouldn't hurt. Most people forget they're wearing a cup because it's so comfortable. If you experience any pain, check if your cup is open and positioned correctly, or try a softer cup. Always check with your gynecologist first to rule out any health issues before changing cups.Ā
A menstrual cup should sit lower than a tampon in your vaginal canal, below your cervix. Also, inserting a tampon vs a menstrual cup is different. Instead of inserting a cup vertically and up like a tampon, insert your menstrual cup horizontally and back toward your tailbone.Ā
Una coppetta mestruale non puĆ² incastarsi cosĆ come e non la puoi perdere all'interno della tua vagina. Se hai difficoltĆ a rimuovere la coppetta mestruale, ricordati sempre di rilasciare l'aspirazione della coppetta pizzicandone la base o premendo un dito tra la coppetta e la parete vaginale.
Durante le mestruazioni, risciacqua la coppetta mestruale sotto l'acqua corrente pulita ogni volta che la svuoti. Quando utilizzi un bagno pubblico, usa una bottiglietta d'acqua per pulire la coppetta sopra il water, oppure puliscila con dei fazzoletti o della carta igienica, quindi reinseriscila. Tra una mestruazione e l'altra, sterilizza la coppetta in acqua bollente per 2-3 minuti.
La coppetta mestruale non perde se ĆØ stata inserita correttamente. Se perde significa che non si ĆØ aperta bene e non ha creato la giusta aderenza. Per evitare perdite, fai scorrere il dito indice attorno alla base della coppetta. Se senti delle pieghe, significa che la tua coppetta non si ĆØ aperta del tutto. Basta afferrare delicatamente la base e ruotarla finchĆ© non la senti aprirsi completamente.
La coppetta mestruale Ruby Cup puĆ² durare fino a 10 anni. In ogni caso, quando inizia ad avere delle macchie che non si tolgono, screpolature e cambiamenti nella consistenza del silicone, deve essere sostituita. Svuotarla ogni 8 ore, risciacquarla sempre dopo ogni utilizzo e sterilizzarla tra un ciclo e l'altro aiuterĆ la tua coppetta mestruale a durare il piĆ¹ a lungo possibile.
La coppetta mestruale Ć© il prodotto mestruale piĆŗ ecologico in quanto puĆ³ essere riutilizzata per ben 10 anni. Se mettiamo a confronto le coppette mestruali con gli assorbenti riutilizzabili o slip mestruali, le coppette sono piĆ¹ facili da mantenere e pulire, facendo utilizzare meno acqua rispetto a qualsiasi altro prodotto riutilizzabile per le mestruazioni.La coppetta mestruale ĆØ senza ombra di dubbio la scelta migliore per il nostro pianeta.
