FAQs

How long can I wear the Omnitex Menstrual Cup?

You can wear the Omnitex Menstrual Cup for up to 12 hours, depending on your flow. It's recommended to empty and clean the cup at least twice a day.

How do I choose the right size?

The pack contains two small cups, typically suitable for lighter flows or individuals under 30 who have not given birth vaginally. Refer to specific sizing guides if unsure about your needs.

Is medical-grade silicone safe?

Yes, medical-grade silicone is hypoallergenic, non-toxic, BPA-free, and latex-free, making it safe for internal use and tested according to ISO10993 standards.

Can I use a menstrual cup with an IUD?

Many people use menstrual cups with IUDs, but it's crucial to break the seal completely before removal to avoid dislodging the IUD. Always consult your healthcare provider before using a cup with an IUD.

How do I clean the cup in a public restroom?

Carry a small bottle of water for rinsing and some unscented wipes or toilet paper. You can rinse the cup in the stall or wipe it clean and reinsert it, then perform a thorough wash when you have access to soap and water.

Can I swim or exercise with the cup?

Yes, once properly inserted and sealed, the Omnitex Menstrual Cup is secure and leak-proof, making it suitable for swimming, exercising, and other physical activities.

What is the expected lifespan of the cup?

With proper care and maintenance, a medical-grade silicone menstrual cup can last for several years, typically up to 5-10 years.

Troubleshooting

Cup is difficult to insert

Ensure you are relaxed. Try different folding techniques and insertion angles. Applying a water-based lubricant to the rim can help.

Cup is difficult to remove

Do not panic. Relax and bear down gently. Pinch the base firmly to break the seal. If still stuck, try gently wiggling it from side to side while pulling down.

Experiencing leaks

Ensure the cup has fully opened after insertion. Check that the seal has been broken before removal. You may need to try a different fold or ensure it's positioned correctly in the vaginal canal.

Cup has odor

Ensure the cup is thoroughly cleaned with mild, unscented soap after each use and properly sterilized between cycles. Avoid using harsh or oil-based soaps.

Difficulty breaking the seal

Ensure you are pinching the base of the cup, not just pulling the stem. Try wiggling the base slightly to help break the seal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Environmentally sustainable and reduces monthly waste.
  • Cost-effective over time compared to disposable products.
  • Comfortable and discreet once properly inserted.
  • Provides extended wear time, up to 12 hours.
  • Made from body-safe, medical-grade materials.

Cons

  • Requires a learning period for insertion and removal.
  • May not be suitable for individuals with very sensitive tissues or certain vaginal shapes.
  • Requires proper sterilization between uses.
  • Can be messy during emptying, especially in public restrooms.
  • Finding the right fit might take trial and error.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Sterilization: Before first use and after each cycle, sterilize the cups by boiling them in water for 5-10 minutes. Ensure the cup does not touch the bottom of the pot.
  2. Insertion: Fold the cup using a preferred method (e.g., C-fold, punch-down fold). Relax your pelvic muscles, and gently insert the folded cup rim-first into the vagina, aiming towards your tailbone. Once inserted, the cup should pop open.
  3. Removal: Wash your hands thoroughly. Bear down gently as if having a bowel movement to shorten the cup's length. Pinch the base of the cup firmly to break the seal, and then gently pull it out.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for most individuals; the 'small' size is generally recommended for lighter flows or those under 30 who haven't given birth vaginally. Consult product guidelines for precise sizing recommendations.
  • Compatible with IUDs, but consult your healthcare provider before use.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each removal and emptying, rinse the cup with cold water first (to prevent staining), then wash with mild, unscented, oil-free soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Storage: After sterilizing and drying, store the cups in their breathable pouch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
