You can use the S size Mimacup without any problems. Don’t worry about the cup being too hard, as Mimacup is manufactured with a soft and flexible medical silicone.
Don’t worry if it seems big, once it is inserted it is not much larger than a tampon that has absorbed menstrual flow.
Of course, although we recommend using a neutral pH lubricant, as other lubricants may shorten the useful life of the cup’s silicone.
Mimacup normally opens up once inserted, but if you want to be sure, you can either insert your fingers to feel around the rim of the cup, or move the stem slightly to turn it so that if it is caught slightly, it will open up.
To reach the stem you will not have to put your fingers very far inside, as it should be located around once centimetre in. The menstrual cup is not inserted as deeply as tampons.
Perhaps you will notice you are wearing it for the first few hours or days, but it adapts so well to the vagina that you will end up forgetting you are wearing it after a few days, without worrying about it when you need to go the toilet.
No, as it stays inside, there is no outer part that might require it to be changed, like tampon strings for example. It is really very comfortable.
Once you get used to using it and you know how your menstrual cycle works, it is very unlikely to have leaks. It is a more reliable means of protection than tampons. But it never hurts to make sure it has been inserted correctly.
If you have any leaks, you can always contact us or check how heavy your flow is and make sure you are using the right size.
For the first few days you can use a back-up pad, until you know your period well.
Of course, whether you are using pills, the ring or an IUD, the cup will not cause any side effects. You can use it without worrying.
We recommend not using the cup until the infection is cured, as medication may affect the cup’s silicone material.
If you have any questions, we recommend asking your gynaecologist.

The S size can hold up to 25 ml, while the L size can hold up to 35 ml.
It should normally be emptied 2 or 3 times a day, however this depends on each woman’s period. It can be left in for up to 12 hours, which is why we advise checking the cup on the first day to see how heavy your flow is. It is easy to check using the measuring lines.
No problem, you can clean it with toilet paper or wet wipes and then reinsert it. When you find the right time, you can wash it with water and neutral pH soap.
We advise washing the Mimacup with drinking water. If you do not have any drinking water nearby, you can use bottled water. If you do not have any bottled water either, you should boil it.
If the cup has been properly sterilised, there is no risk of a vaginal infection.
Yes, it’s not a problem, you can even use it while swimming. It is very comfortable, and you don’t even need to change it!
You can sleep perfectly fine while wearing the cup, as long as you do not go longer than 12 hours without changing it.
It is not advisable to use any internal feminine hygiene products during postnatal menstruation, and we recommend not using it for about six weeks, in order to avoid the risk of infections.
Yes, you can wash it by hand or in the washing machine. But we recommend using a mild detergent suitable for special garments.
It was industrially produced during the 1930s, although in 1867 there were already some models. The best known was made by Leona Chalmers and designed in the United States in 1932.
The product was not very commercially viable, since it does not generate the same level of profit as disposable feminine hygiene products, which meant it wasn’t profitable.
In some cases, inappropriate use of a menstrual cup can cause TSS, although today there are very few cases related to the menstrual cup. More information
