Femi Eko Menstrual Cup

Why We Love the Femi Eko Menstrual Cup

We like the Femi.Eko for its practical design, flexible silicone body and adjustable stem. Its medium-to-firm feel provides a balance between flexibility and structure. A cup with some firmness can be easier to open after insertion, although individual comfort and firmness preferences vary.

We also appreciate having two size options, allowing you to compare diameter, length and capacity when choosing a cup. The trimmable stem is another useful feature if you prefer to customise the length for comfort.

• Available in two sizes: Small and Medium.
• Capacity of 28 ml for Small and 32 ml for Medium, measured to the air holes.

4. Gently insert the folded cup into the vagina, allowing it to open below the cervix.
5. Check that the cup has opened properly and is sitting comfortably.
6. To remove, wash your hands, gently pinch the base of the cup to release the seal and ease it out carefully.
