Coupe menstruelle Lily d'Intimina

Why We Love the INTIMINA Lily Cup

We particularly like the Lily Cup's sleek, tapered design and angled rim. Its narrow roll-up fold may appeal to people who find wider menstrual cup folds uncomfortable or difficult to insert. The longer shape is worth considering if you have a higher cervix and prefer a cup with a stem to help you locate it during removal.

The flexible silicone offers a softer feel than firmer cup designs, although softer cups can sometimes take more practice to open fully. Its length is an important consideration, as it may not be the most comfortable option for someone with a lower cervix.

• Made from 100% medical-grade silicone.
• Long, tapered body designed with an angled rim.
• Narrow roll-up fold for insertion.
• Available in two sizes, A and B.
• Size A has a 40 mm diameter and 28 ml capacity.
• Size B has a 43 mm diameter and 32 ml capacity.
• Total length of 78 mm, including the stem.
• Stem to assist with locating and removing the cup.
• Reusable menstrual cup supplied with a storage pouch and printed instructions.
• Suitable for up to 8 hours of wear before emptying.

This product may suit you if...

• You have a higher cervix and prefer a longer menstrual cup.
• You find a narrow insertion fold more manageable than wider folded cups.
• You prefer a flexible silicone cup rather than a firmer design.
• You want a choice of two sizes with different diameters and capacities.
• You prefer a traditional stem for locating and removing your cup.
• You are comfortable checking that a softer cup has opened fully after insertion.

Consider another option if...

• You have a low cervix or find longer menstrual cups uncomfortable. A shorter design may be a better starting point.
• You find softer cups difficult to open and prefer a firmer rim or body.
• You have limited hand dexterity and would prefer a larger loop or ring removal aid.
• You prefer a shorter, rounder menstrual cup rather than a long, tapered shape.
• You need a cup with a larger capacity than the size you are considering.

• Material: 100% medical-grade silicone.
• Country of manufacture: China.
• Product construction: Lily Cup design without air holes.
• Reusable menstrual cup designed for repeated use with appropriate cleaning and care.

Each retail package includes:

1. Wash your hands thoroughly before handling your menstrual cup.
2. Fold the Lily Cup using its narrow roll-up insertion fold.
3. Relax your pelvic floor and gently insert the folded cup towards your tailbone.
4. Allow the cup to open fully inside the vaginal canal. Check that it has opened correctly and adjust its position if necessary.
5. Wear for up to 8 hours, emptying sooner if required by your menstrual flow.
6. To remove, wash your hands and relax. Use the stem to help bring the cup within reach.
7. Pinch the base of the cup to release the seal before gently removing it.
8. Empty the contents, clean the cup and reinsert as required.

Before first use, fully submerge the Lily Cup in boiling water for 5 to 8 minutes. Take care not to allow the pot to boil dry.

During your period, wash the cup with mild soap and water or a purpose-made menstrual cup cleaner whenever you empty it. Rinse thoroughly to remove any cleanser residue.

Avoid cleaning the cup with vinegar, bleach, alcohol, tea tree oil, petroleum-based substances or harsh cleaning products.

After cleaning, allow the cup to dry before storing it in its supplied storage pouch.

Inspect your cup regularly for signs of deterioration. Replace it if you notice cuts, punctures or a sticky or oily film on the silicone. Some discolouration can occur with regular use and does not necessarily mean the cup needs replacing.

• Always read and follow the manufacturer's instructions before using the Lily Cup.
• Do not wear the cup for longer than 8 hours without emptying it.
• The Lily Cup is intended for menstrual use only. It is not contraception and does not protect against sexually transmitted infections.
• Remove the cup before sexual intercourse.
• Do not use a menstrual cup if you have previously experienced Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), in accordance with INTIMINA's instructions.
• If you experience sudden fever, vomiting, diarrhoea, dizziness, fainting or a sunburn-like rash while using the cup, remove it and seek urgent medical attention.
• Stop using the cup and seek medical advice if it causes pain or ongoing discomfort.
• If you have a gynaecological or other medical concern, speak with your healthcare professional before use.
