This prevents irritation, because few people are allergic to it. It is also very environmentally friendly, because you can use the cup for years. That saves a lot of tampons and sanitary towels! The cup does not absorb the menstrual blood, but catches it. It can catch three times the amount of blood as a normal tampon, so it provides long-term protection, so you don't have to change it often. The cup can be used throughout your period, regardless of whether you have heavy or light periods. Once it is full, remove the cup from your body and pour the contents into the toilet. You can easily rinse it with some water and reinsert it. Specifications: Made from FSC 100% Fair Trade rubber from Sri Lanka Free from plastic, silicone, BPA, PVC, phthalate & bleach Size: M 4.1 by 6.65 cm (13 ml) Available in sizes S, M, L and XL Product specifications Menstrual cup - Medium Item description Menstrual cup - Medium Item number 4260365851587 Version Size M Country of origin Germany Instructions: Before first use and at the end of monthly use, the menstrual cup must be sterilized. Boil some water in a pan and leave the cup in it for a few minutes. To insert, the cup must be folded. To do this, the top edge is pressed in so that it folds slightly. Fix it between your fingers and do not insert it too deeply. You should not feel it. Once in the body, the cup unfolds to create a light vacuum. This ensures that the cup remains comfortable, does not slip and catches all the blood. After a maximum of 12 hours, the cup must be removed again. Gently pull the stem until you can gently squeeze the bottom of the cup. This will release the vacuum and release the cup. You can now remove it, empty it, rinse it and reinsert it if desired. When your period is over, sterilize the cup again. Environmental information about Menstrual Cup - Medium During menstruation, many disposable products are used.
