AllMatters Menstrual Cup, Size B

The healthiest, easiest and most economical alternative! Here are the reasons:

MORE NATURAL

Tampons and pads absorb, menstrual cups simply collect! This eliminates irritation and dryness while ensuring the natural pH balance is kept intact. Pads and tampons typically contain problematic additives (bleach, chlorine, glue, perfume, lotion). More than a quarter of the fluids absorbed by a tampon are natural and necessary vaginal secretions.

The menstrual cup is made from medical-grade silicone. Silicone is made from natural materials, is ultra-hygienic and antibacterial. It is bleach-free, glue-free, chlorine-free, perfume-free and lotion-free! Tampons have been associated with the disease TSS (toxic shock syndrome) since the 1980s. This menstrual cup has never been associated with TSS. Nor any allergies. And, the world's first menstrual cup was invented in the '30s by a woman.

EASIER

The menstrual cup is reusable and should be emptied, normally twice a day. It is secured in position by a light vacuum, and the soft material won´t make you feel a thing!

NO MORE:

• having to buy pads or tampons
• forgetting to bring your tampons to school or work
• asking your partner to buy your pads or tampons
• hiding pads or tampons under your sleeve
• frequent bathroom runs
• fear of leaking and constant uncertainty
• scheduling holidays around your period
• odour problems

You can also use the menstrual cup during the night – the days where you had to sleep with a specific pad are over!

You can use the menstrual cup for sports too: go swimming, jogging, riding. Do yoga, jumping jacks or stand upside down. Unlike a tampon, the soft material even adjusts to your body, ensuring you won´t feel it.

You can use the menstrual cup ahead of time to avoid being "unprepared".

How does it work?

1. Fold and insert: the menstrual cup unfolds in the body and is secured in position by a light vacuum.
2. Wear for 12 hours: If you have a moderate to heavy flow, you might have to empty it more frequently. The menstrual cup collects the menstrual fluids.
3. Empty into the toilet and rinse: Give it a rinse and re-insert.
4. How do I clean it in a public bathroom? You simply wipe with toilet paper and rinse when you get home.

Cleaning instructions:

• When menstruating, empty the menstrual cup and rinse with water before reinserting it.
• The menstrual cup needs to be sterilised between uses while on your period.
• Sterilise the menstrual cup after your period:
  • Boil in a pot for 5 - 7 minutes.
  • Clean with OrganiWipes

Note: It is recommended that you consult with your doctor or gynaecologist before using a menstrual cup in conjunction with an IUD.
