How does menstruation with the LUNACUP menstrual cup work?
How does menstruation actually work with the LUNACUP menstrual cup? If you are used to pads or tampons, you might think a cup will be complicated. The opposite is true – LUNACUP simplifies menstruation and makes it more liberated.
Basic Principle: Collection vs. Absorption
Unlike tampons that absorb blood and pads that catch it, LUNACUP collects menstrual blood. This means:
- No drying out – vagina maintains natural moisture
- No chemicals – medical-grade silicone is 100% safe
- No waste – one cup serves for years
How LUNACUP Works in Practice
LUNACUP is inserted into the vagina where it creates a gentle seal. Menstrual blood then collects in the cup instead of flowing out. It is that simple!
Step by step:
- Insertion: Folded cup inserts easily
- Opening: LUNACUP opens and creates suction against vaginal walls
- Collection: Blood collects for up to 12 hours
- Removal: Cup is gently squeezed and removed
- Emptying: Contents are poured out and cup is rinsed
Why LUNACUP is So Effective
LUNACUP is designed to work perfectly with female anatomy:
- Flexible material adapts to your body
- Perfect shape ensures reliable seal
- Right size provides maximum comfort
- Smooth surface allows easy insertion and removal
Capacity and Emptying Frequency
LUNACUP holds up to 30ml of fluid – that is more than double a regular tampon. Since the average woman loses only 30-40ml of blood during her entire period, one cup holds a significant portion of daily flow.
How often to empty:
- Light days: every 12 hours
- Medium days: every 8-10 hours
- Heavy days: every 4-6 hours
Advantages Over Traditional Methods
LUNACUP changes how women experience menstruation:
- Freedom of movement – sports, swimming, sleeping without worry
- Money savings – one cup for years of use
- Ecology – no monthly waste
- Health – no chemicals or fragrances
- Comfort – you do not feel it when properly inserted
