A care routine you can actually remember.
Use this page as a product-care map: what to do before first use, how to handle emptying during a period, and how to prepare the cup for storage afterward.
Care by moment, not by panic.
MonthlyCup’s published guide gives a few important anchors. The details below stay within those anchors and avoid adding unsupported medical instructions.
MonthlyCup guidance says to boil before first use as instructed. Keep the supplied instruction manual available so the exact product directions are easy to check.
Wash your hands before inserting, removing, or cleaning the cup. This is one of the most straightforward habits to build into the routine.
Empty according to your flow and no later than 12 hours, according to the MonthlyCup guide. When removing, release the seal before removal instead of pulling the stem alone.
Boil between periods as instructed, let the cup dry fully, and store it where air can circulate.
Dry first. Store breathable.
Moisture and sealed storage are common sources of uncertainty. The supplied MonthlyCup guidance is simple: dry fully and store with air circulation.
Storage do-and-check list
- Wait until the cup is fully dry before putting it away.
- Use storage that allows air circulation.
- Keep the product instructions with your period supplies if you tend to forget details.
- Before the next cycle, check whether the silicone looks damaged or noticeably changed.
Care is separate from sizing.
The MonthlyCup guide advises comparing measurements, individual flow, and preferences. Age or childbirth alone are not a size rule, and no model is guaranteed to fit everyone.
| Model | Diameter | Cup length | Total length | Capacity to holes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mini | 37 mm | 45 mm | 55 mm | 15 ml |
| Normal | 43 mm | 55 mm | 65 mm | 22 ml |
| Plus | 47 mm | 55 mm | 65 mm | 43 ml |
