Mooncup
What Is A Mooncup?
The Mooncup is a reusable, soft silicone menstruation cup. Women created it as a convenient, safe, and environmentally friendly replacement for tampons and pads. The Mooncup was the initial menstrual cup produced entirely of medical-grade silicone, a hypoallergenic alternative to rubber formerly associated with latex allergy.
The Mooncup measures 5cm in length and includes a’stem’ to remove. Because vaginal length varies, the Mooncup stem is designed to be cut as needed.
How Does The Menstrual Cup Mooncup Work?
Once inside, the Mooncup expands and gently seals the vaginal wall, securing it in place.
The Mooncup is more compact than a tampon and collects menstrual blood. Mooncups are maintained by vaginal muscles and should be emptied, washed, and reinserted every four to eight hours. It is safe to use while traveling, swimming, or exercising.
In A Public Toilet, How Do I Use My Mooncup?
To start, wash your hands at the sink in the same manner as you would while replacing a tampon.
You can then bring a little water bottle with you into the toilet cubicle. Remove the Mooncup, empty its contents into the toilet bowl, rinse with a small quantity of water, and reintroduce. Alternatively, you can empty the contents into the toilet bowl, wipe the Mooncup menstruation cup clean with toilet paper, and then reinsert. When you return home, you can give it a more thorough cleaning.
Bear in mind that you may not need to empty your Mooncup as frequently as you would tampons or pads due to the larger capacity of the Mooncup menstruation cup.
What Is The Best Way To Clean My Mooncup?
If you take good care of your Mooncup menstruation cup and keep it clean, it should last for years.
Use For The First Time And In Between Periods
We recommend thoroughly cleaning your Mooncup menstrual cup before using it first and following your period. This can be consummate by boiling it for 5 to 7 minutes while immersed in water.
Alternatively, you might use a sterilizing solution or pill. This is a method that is frequently used to disinfect infant equipment. Dilute according to the manufacturer’s recommendations and soak for the shortest time indicated. Then thoroughly rinse with clean water.
Management Of Your Mooncup During Your Period
When a sink is nearby:
Mooncup menstrual cups should be washed with water or a mild, unscented soap. Always thoroughly rinse it with water following soap usage, as any soap residue left on the Mooncup may irritate.
When on the road:
Follow the same procedure as previously, but make sure you clean your Mooncup with drinking water.
