Vush Let's Flow Menstrual Cup

Why We Love the VUSH Let's Flow Menstrual Cup

We like the Let's Flow for its simple, tapered design and soft, flexible body. The flat tab-style stem with grip lines provides a useful removal aid for people who prefer something more defined than a small rounded stem. Its V-shaped profile may appeal to those who prefer a traditional menstrual cup with a narrower base.

The two sizes offer a choice between a narrower Regular and a wider Super, with both having the same listed body and total lengths. We would particularly consider this cup for someone with an average or higher cervix, provided the body length and removal tab suit their anatomy and reach.

As with other softer cups, some people may need a little practice to get the cup to open fully and form a comfortable seal.

• Soft, flexible medical-grade silicone that can be folded for insertion.
• Tapered, cone-shaped body with a smooth finish.
• Two sizes: Regular and Super.
• Flat tab-style stem with grip lines to help locate and remove the cup.
• Four air holes to support the cup's function and help release the seal.
• Up to 8 hours of wear, with earlier emptying according to your flow.
• Reusable design in a soft pink colour.
• Includes a cotton storage pouch and printed instructions.
• Latex-free, BPA-free, vegan and cruelty-free.

This product may suit you if...

• You prefer a soft, flexible menstrual cup rather than a firmer design.
• You like a tapered, V-shaped cup with a narrower base.
• You have an average or higher cervix and the 60 mm cup body suits your available space.
• You want a choice between a narrower Regular and a wider Super.
• You prefer a flat tab-style stem with grip lines rather than a ring or loop.
• You want a reusable cup with a defined removal aid.
• You are comfortable learning how to fold, position, open and remove a menstrual cup.

Consider another option if...

• You have a low cervix and need a shorter cup body.
• You have previously found that soft cups are difficult to open and would prefer a firmer design.
• You experience discomfort from wider cups or prefer a smaller diameter.
• You have limited hand dexterity or difficulty reaching the cup's base and need a more prominent removal aid, such as a ring or loop.
• You need a higher-capacity cup and want to minimise how frequently you empty it.
• You prefer a menstrual disc or another product that does not rely on a conventional cup seal.

Choosing the right menstrual cup involves more than selecting a size based on flow. Consider your cervix height, available vaginal space, preferred diameter, capacity and ability to reach the cup comfortably for removal.

VUSH recommends Regular for light to medium flow and Super for medium to heavy flow.

Regular

Regular is the narrower of the two sizes, with a 43 mm diameter and a capacity of 25 ml to the markings. It may suit someone with light to moderate flow who prefers a smaller-diameter cup.

Super

Super has a wider 46 mm diameter and a capacity of 30 ml to the markings. It may suit someone with moderate to heavier flow or someone who prefers a wider cup.

Understanding the measurements

Both sizes have the same listed body length of 60 mm and total length of 85 mm, including the stem. This means choosing Regular instead of Super does not necessarily address a concern about cup length.

The stem is included in the total length, so consider whether the cup body and removal tab will sit comfortably within your anatomy. Your cervix can also change position throughout your cycle, so measuring during menstruation can help you make a more informed choice.

Capacity figures vary depending on where they are measured. The markings provide the manufacturer's indicated capacity, while the air-hole and rim figures show additional available volume. The rim capacity is the maximum listed capacity and should not be confused with the marked capacity.

• Printed instructions.

1. Before first use, sanitise the cup by boiling it according to the supplied instructions. Allow it to cool completely before handling.
2. Wash your hands thoroughly before inserting the cup.
3. Fold the cup using a fold that creates a comfortable insertion point.
4. Gently insert the folded cup into the vaginal canal and allow it to open.
5. Check that the cup has opened properly and is sitting comfortably.
6. Wear for up to 8 hours, emptying sooner when needed for your flow.
7. To remove, wash your hands, relax and locate the base of the cup. Gently pinch the base to release the seal before easing the cup out. Do not pull on the stem alone.
8. Empty the contents and rinse the cup with clean water before reinserting.

Before first use

Sanitise your cup by boiling it before using it for the first time. Follow the supplied instructions for the appropriate boiling procedure.

At the beginning of each cycle

Sanitise the cup again by boiling before your period begins.

During menstruation

After emptying the cup, rinse it with clean water before reinserting.

Check that all four air holes are clear each time you reinsert the cup. Blocked air holes can affect the cup's function and make releasing the seal more difficult.

After your period

1. Wash the cup with soap and water.
2. Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
3. Allow it to dry completely.
4. Store it in the supplied cotton pouch.

When to replace your cup

VUSH states that the cup can last up to five years but recommends replacing it every year. Follow the manufacturer's annual replacement recommendation and inspect your cup regularly for signs of deterioration or damage.

Replace the cup if you notice tears, cracking, changes in texture or other signs of wear.

• Always follow the instructions supplied with your menstrual cup.
• Do not wear the cup for longer than 8 hours at a time.
• Never force the cup into position or pull it out without first releasing the seal.
• Do not pull on the stem alone when removing the cup.
• Stop using the cup if you experience persistent pain, irritation or discomfort and seek advice from a healthcare professional.
• If you have difficulty removing the cup, relax and try again gently. Seek medical assistance if you cannot remove it.
• Menstrual cups do not prevent pregnancy or protect against sexually transmitted infections.
• The cup is intended for individual use and should not be shared.
