Intimina Lily Menstrual Cup - One (Starter Cup)

Why We Love the Lily Cup One

We like the Lily Cup One because its design addresses some of the common concerns people have when trying a menstrual cup for the first time. The firmer double rim may help the cup open after insertion, while the flexible body makes it easy to fold and store. We particularly like the loop-shaped removal aid, which provides something more substantial to locate than a small nib stem.

Its collapsible design is another standout feature. The cup folds flat into its protective case, making it a convenient option for carrying in a handbag or travel bag. Its petite dimensions may appeal to people who prefer a smaller cup, although a compact design does not automatically make it suitable for every cervix height or anatomy.

• 100% medical-grade silicone.
• Flexible, collapsible body that folds flat for storage.
• Firmer double rim designed to help the cup open after insertion.
• Loop-shaped removal aid for locating and removing the cup.
• Petite design intended with beginner cup users in mind.
• 20 ml capacity to the rim holes.
• Protective storage case included.
• Recommended wear time of up to 8 hours.
• Manufacturer-stated lifespan of up to 10 years, with no fixed replacement interval specified.

This Product May Suit You If…

• You're trying a menstrual cup for the first time and want a design intended to support beginners.
• You prefer a smaller, more compact cup rather than a traditional larger bell-shaped design.
• You like the idea of a firmer rim with a more flexible body.
• You find small nib stems difficult to locate and prefer a loop-shaped removal aid.
• You want a cup that folds flat for convenient storage and travel.
• You have a light-to-moderate flow or are comfortable emptying a smaller-capacity cup more frequently.
• You want a reusable menstrual cup made from medical-grade silicone.

Consider Another Option If…

• You prefer a consistently soft rim and are sensitive to pressure from firmer cup rims.
• You find collapsible cups difficult to position or open.
• You have a particularly high cervix and prefer a longer cup or removal aid that may be easier to reach.
• You have a very low cervix and need a shorter cup body than the 47 mm Lily Cup One.
• You need a larger capacity than 20 ml or prefer less frequent emptying.
• You prefer a traditional menstrual cup that maintains its full shape rather than folding flat.
• You prefer a different removal design, such as a longer stem.

The Lily Cup One is available in one current variant. Its petite design combines a 39 mm diameter with a 47 mm cup body and a 15 mm removal loop.

When choosing a menstrual cup, consider its diameter, body length and total length alongside your cervix height, available space, flow and comfort preferences. The removal loop adds to the overall length, so it is useful to distinguish between the cup body and the complete measurement.

Understanding the measurements

• Diameter: At 39 mm, Lily Cup One has a relatively compact diameter compared with many traditional menstrual cups.
• Body length: The cup body measures 47 mm, excluding the removal loop.
• Removal loop: The loop adds 15 mm to the overall length and provides a feature to locate during removal.
• Total length: The complete measurement, including the loop, is 62 mm.
• Capacity: The cup holds 20 ml to the rim holes. Depending on your flow, you may need to empty it more frequently than a higher-capacity cup.

• 100% medical-grade silicone.
• Body construction: Flexible and collapsible.
• Rim: Firmer double rim.
• Country of manufacture: China.
• Manufacturer-stated lifespan: Up to 10 years.
