FAQs
How long can I wear the BeYou Menstrual Cup Large?
You can wear the BeYou Menstrual Cup Large for up to 12 hours, depending on your flow. It is safe for both day and night use.
How do I clean and sterilize the cup?
Wash your hands, empty the cup, rinse with cool water, and wash with a mild, unscented soap and warm water. Sterilize by boiling in water for 3-5 minutes before first use, after each cycle, and between uses if needed. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
Is the BeYou Menstrual Cup Large suitable for beginners?
Yes, it is designed with a soft yet structured form to help users achieve a reliable seal and minimize leaks, making it suitable for those new to menstrual cups. However, a slight learning curve is common for all menstrual cups.
What is the BeYou Menstrual Cup Large made of?
It is made from 100% medical-grade silicone, which is free from BPA, latex, and dyes.
Can I use this cup during exercise?
Yes, the BeYou Menstrual Cup Large is designed to be worn during physical activities, including sports and exercise, providing secure, leak-free protection.
How do I know if the Large size is right for me?
The large size is generally recommended for individuals who have given birth vaginally or experience a heavy menstrual flow. If you have a lighter flow or have not given birth vaginally, the smaller size might be more appropriate.
Does the cup have any odor?
No, the BeYou Menstrual Cup is designed to be odor-free. The medical-grade silicone does not absorb odors, and the internal seal prevents air from coming into contact with menstrual fluid, which is the usual cause of odor.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty inserting or removing the cup.
Ensure your hands and the cup are lubricated. Relax your pelvic muscles. Try different folding techniques for insertion. For removal, try squatting or bearing down slightly to shorten the vaginal canal and break the seal by pinching the base firmly.
Leaks occur during wear.
Check that the cup has fully opened after insertion by running a finger around its base to feel for a seal. Ensure the cup is positioned correctly and is the right size for you. Your cervix may be low, or the cup may need to be positioned slightly differently.
Cup feels uncomfortable.
Ensure the cup is not inserted too high or too low. Make sure it has popped open fully and is not folded. If discomfort persists, you may need to try a different size or shape of menstrual cup.
Difficulty breaking the seal for removal.
Relax your muscles. Try to reach the base of the cup and pinch it firmly. If you're still struggling, try gently wiggling the cup side-to-side while pulling down.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
First Use & Sterilization:
Before first use and after each cycle, thoroughly sterilize your BeYou Menstrual Cup. You can do this by boiling it in water for 3-5 minutes. Ensure the cup is fully submerged and does not touch the sides of the pot. Allow it to cool completely before handling.
Insertion:
Wash your hands thoroughly. Fold the cup using your preferred method (e.g., C-fold or punch-down fold). Gently insert the folded cup into your vagina, aiming towards your tailbone. Once inserted, it should pop open, creating a seal. You can run a finger around the base to ensure it has fully opened and created a seal.
Removal:
Wash your hands thoroughly. Relax your muscles. Pinch the base of the cup to break the seal, then gently pull it out.
Cleaning:
After removal and emptying, rinse the cup with cool water. Wash with a mild, unscented, water-based soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly. It can be reinserted immediately or stored after sterilization.
Storage:
Store the cup in its provided breathable pouch in a cool, dry place. Ensure it is completely dry before storing.
Compatibility:
This large size is generally recommended for those who have given birth vaginally or have a heavier flow. It is made from medical-grade silicone, suitable for internal use.
