La Cup Luneale
Do not use your cup before sterilising it.
Refer to this page, a little further down, in the cleaning section to find out how to do it.
At first, combine your cup with period underwear or another external protection: this will avoid small accidents while you find the right placement, and allow you to calmly verify that everything is properly in place and leak-free.
Practice handling outside of your period (with a little water to ease insertion).
This will help you feel more comfortable when the time comes, even though sensations may differ during menstruation.
Allow 1 to 3 cycles to master the technique.
Try The Cup preferably at the end of your period or between periods (moistening it to make insertion easier) and pair it with external protection while you build confidence.
For some people, everything feels natural from the first attempts; for others, it takes a little more time. Don't get discouraged: it's normal, and it's really worth it.
Prepare for a new adjustment period: The Luneale Cup works differently.
Unlike standard cups, it doesn't need to be fully open to be effective.
This sensation may be surprising at first, but rest assured: if it's properly positioned, it will be just as reliable, and much more comfortable.
Before handling your Cup, wash your hands thoroughly: this is essential for your intimate safety.
Flatten the Cup and fold it in half onto itself.
The folded side should be positioned at the back of your vagina during insertion.
The C-fold is recommended with the 2-step insertion.
Push one edge of the ring inward.
The larger side should be positioned at the back of your vagina during insertion.
The tulip fold is recommended with direct insertion.
Place the Cup against your vulva and tilt the ring into your vagina: at this point, only the top of the Cup is inserted, and it will begin to unfold.
Then grasp the MoonPad and twist towards the back of the vagina to position it approximately 1 finger joint from the vaginal opening.
Insert the Cup along almost its entire length.
At this stage, it's important that it remains aligned with your vaginal canal and doesn't position itself at an angle.
Then release the fold and twist it to the correct height (i.e. where you don't feel it)
The base of the MoonPad should sit just past the entrance of your vagina. If you can still feel the Cup, gently push it slightly deeper by pressing on the base of the MoonPad: it will position itself naturally so that you won't feel it at all.
The Cup's effectiveness depends on proper deployment: the upper ring must be deployed, which is ensured when it twists without resistance.
However, unlike traditional menstrual cups, the Cup's receptacle is more flexible to adapt to your body, so it may remain compressed without causing leaks.
In most cases, The Cup sits approximately one finger joint from the vaginal opening: it is therefore accessible.
Pinch the MoonPad: this will release the suction effect by allowing air to enter through the holes. Pull gently while making small back-and-forth movements.
If The Cup has moved up a bit too far (this happens depending on your anatomy and movements), we recommend sitting on the toilet and pushing slightly with your pelvic floor, which will bring it down and make it accessible.
Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is an extremely rare but serious and potentially fatal illness.
This syndrome can occur in men, women and children. It is caused by a toxin produced by bacteria (called staphylococcus aureus) that live on or in the human body – usually in the nose, respiratory tract or on the skin.
The conditions under which staphylococcus aureus produces this toxin are still unknown, and most people are naturally immune to it. However, since a minority are not immune, it is important to provide you with clear information, as half of cases occur during menstruation.
Given the potential severity of TSS, it must be detected and treated quickly.
It can resemble in many ways a sudden flu, with symptoms that don't necessarily all appear at once: high fever (39° or higher), headache or sore throat, vomiting, diarrhoea, dizziness, fainting, muscle pain or rashes that resemble sunburn.
If you have had TSS in the past, you must consult your doctor before using internal protection again (tampons or cups)
We recommend using a cup size that corresponds to your flow and ensuring you respect a maximum wearing time of 6 hours at a time.
We also invite you to wash your hands thoroughly before handling your cup, as staphylococcus aureus is often found on the skin.
No direct link between cups and TSS has yet been demonstrated, but we are convinced that accurate information on proper conditions of use will enable you to use your cup safely.
