Clean La Cup during your period.
Empty La Cup
You can empty it in the toilet, in a sink, in the shower or even in nature.
Simply wash your cup with drinking water.
You can simply use drinking water to rinse La Cup. Cold water is preferable, as hot
water tends to fix the blood pigments and this could stain your Cup as it goes along.
If you want to use a cleaning product.
Please note! Do not use soap or shower gel to clean your Cup, as they do not have a suitable pH
for this purpose.
You can opt for an intimate cleanser, but make sure that its pH is between 4 and 6. Ideally, you
should use a product that is tested for use with menstrual cups, such as La Mousse Luneale, which
is certified organic and tested for use with silicone menstrual cups.
If you use La Mousse Luneale, rinse it thoroughly after cleaning.
If you don’t have access to drinking water.
You can either bring a bottle of water (with a sports cap), use Les Wipes Luneale (our cupfriendly
wipes made for this purpose) or carefully wipe La Cup with paper and rinse it later, once you have
access to water.
In public places, it is best to go to a disabled toilet, where there is often a sink.
If the air holes are blocked, fill La Cup to the brim with water, place the palm of
your hand tightly over the top of the ring and squeeze the receptacle with your
other hand: the water will come out of the holes and unblock them.
Sterilise La Cup between periods.
Method 1:
Immerse La Cup in a pan of boiling water for 5 minutes. Tip: To prevent the cup from
touching the bottom of the pan, you can place it in a whisk.
Method 2:
Place La Cup in a glass jar filled with water and place in the microwave at 600W for 5
minutes.
If you wish to use La Cup immediately after boiling it, run it under cold water: platinum silicone
has a high thermal inertia and will quickly come down to the right temperature. Otherwise, place
it in its pouch until your next use.
If you cannot use one of these two methods (for example when travelling), you can also use a
cold sterilisation tablet (as for baby bottles) in accordance with the instructions given by the
manufacturer.
If your Cup has become opaque or stained, you can restore its original appearance by immersing
it overnight in boiling water with the juice of half a lemon or a little white vinegar. Remember to
rinse it well afterwards.
Important information.
Adjustment period
If you have never used a menstrual cup, it generally takes time to
familiarize yourself with the different manipulations.
Try La Cup preferably during the last days of your period or outside
of your period (by moistening it) and pair it with external periodic
protection (panty liner, towel, menstrual panties) while you acquire
the right gestures .
For some people this uptake is very quick, for others it can take
several cycles. So don’t be discouraged, it’s normal and your efforts
will be rewarded.
If you have ever used a regular menstrual cup, you may also need
to allow time for adaptation to La Cup Luneale, as its operation
is very different from that of other menstrual cups. In particular,
be aware that since it does not need to be fully extended (unlike
regular cups), it can sometimes confuse you, and you might think
that it is not put on correctly – which would not necessarily be the
case.
Warnings.
- La Cup is not a contraceptive and does not protect against Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs).
- You can keep La Cup on when you go to the bathroom.
- As La Cup is positioned in the vagina, you should not have vaginal intercourse while wearing it.
- If you wear an IUD, cut the wires short and take care to pinch the Moonpad® well when removing it so as not to
move it. If in doubt about the correct positioning of your IUD, use an alternative method of contraception and
consult your gynecologist or midwife.
- After surgery via the vagina (hysteroscopy, etc.), do not use La Cup without the consent of your gynecologist/
midwife.
- In the event of a vaginal infection (or suspected infection), treatment with an egg or intravaginal cream, avoid
wearing any internal protection: you risk discomfort and burns.
- La Cup is formally not recommended for post-natal bleeding, or after a miscarriage or an abortion.
- If you had an episiotomy, wait until the scar has healed and your perineum has been rehabilitated. In any case,
wait until the vagina and cervix are put back.
- If you suffer from another intimate pathology, ask your gynecologist/midwife for advice before using La Cup.
- Never clean La Cup in the dishwasher.
