Coupe menstruelle Curve

Why We Love the Curve Menstrual Cup

We love the Curve Menstrual Cup for its distinctive curved profile and tilted rim, which offer an alternative to more traditional menstrual cup designs.

Its shape may appeal to people who find conventional bell-shaped cups less comfortable or who prefer to explore a different design. The ribbed stem provides a useful grip when locating the cup for removal, while the two size options allow you to compare dimensions and capacity when choosing what may work best for your body.

The Curve may also be worth considering if you experience bladder sensitivity or have a tilted uterus or cervix and find that other cup shapes are uncomfortable. However, individual anatomy and preferences vary, and no particular cup shape is guaranteed to resolve bladder pressure or suit everyone.

As with any menstrual cup, finding the right fit depends on your cervix height, anatomy, flow and comfort preferences rather than age or childbirth history alone.

Using a menstrual cup can take a little practice. Allow yourself time to become familiar with folding, insertion, positioning and removal.

1. Wash your hands thoroughly before handling your cup.
2. Follow the supplied instructions to prepare the cup before first use.
3. Fold the cup using a comfortable fold and gently insert it as directed in the user guide.
4. Allow the cup to open and check that it is positioned correctly.
5. Wear for up to 12 hours, emptying sooner if your menstrual flow requires it.
6. To remove, wash your hands and follow the supplied instructions to release the cup's seal before gently easing it out.
7. Empty and clean the cup according to the care instructions before reinserting or storing it.

The ribbed stem is designed to help you locate the cup for removal. If you need to adjust its length, only trim it according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Never pull forcefully on the stem to remove the cup.

Proper cleaning and care help keep your reusable menstrual cup in good condition.

Follow the supplied Curve Menstrual Cup user guide for the correct cleaning and sanitising instructions.
