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:

  1. Insertion: Folded cup inserts easily
  2. Opening: LUNACUP opens and creates suction against vaginal walls
  3. Collection: Blood collects for up to 12 hours
  4. Removal: Cup is gently squeezed and removed
  5. 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

Myths and Reality

Myth: Cup can get lost in the body
Reality: This is impossible – vagina is a closed space

Myth: Cup is disgusting
Reality: Menstrual blood is a natural body fluid

Myth: Cup is complicated to use
Reality: After brief familiarization, use becomes automatic

First Steps with LUNACUP

Starting with a cup may require patience, but the result is worth it:

  1. Familiarization: Explore the cup and read instructions
  2. Relaxation: Try insertion in a calm moment
  3. Practice: A few cycles to perfect technique
  4. Freedom: Enjoy menstruation without limitations

Remember: LUNACUP is not just a product, it is a path to more liberated menstruation. Give your body time to learn the new routine and you will soon discover that menstruation will never again be an obstacle to your plans.
