FAQ

Can it be used at night?

Yes, you can use the cap for up to 12 hours, both during the day and at night, also while lying down. Just remember to empty it just before going to sleep and right after waking up.

Can the cup leak through?

If correctly inserted, the menstrual cup should not leak. If a leak occurs, you have to try to identify the cause. The most common issues include incorrect size, incorrect application that prevents the cup from correctly unfolding, blocked holes or simply overfilling.

How to clean the cup on a trip?

You will need water or intimate wipes to empty and clean the cup. It will be even easier if you use the container supplied with the my bella cup. Pour water from the tap or a bottle into the container, close it and shake it vigorously for several seconds. That’s all – you can now use the cup! Remember to wash your hands before each use.

How often do you need to empty it?

It all depends on how heavy your flow is. For very heavy flows, the cup should be emptied every 3-5 hours. When the flow is lighter, you can keep using it for up to 12 hours. However, this is the limit – make sure not to exceed it to maintain proper hygiene and safeguard your health.

Can I use the cup during physical effort?

There are no contraindications to using the cup during physical effort. However, we recommend emptying it before exercise and immediately after. Remember that if you observe any leaks during normal use, you are much more likely to observe them also during exercise.

Can the menstrual cup fall out?

A correctly sized and applied cup will not fall out on its own. Remember that the vacuum effectively holds the cup in your vagina. If the cup is too small, it may slide down and make it seem like it is about to fall out, but this is very unlikely.

Can the menstrual cup get stuck?

This is not possible, although you may have that impression when you cannot feel the cup. Remember that the most important thing is to relax – stress acts to your disadvantage, contracting the muscles further. Relax and start to alternately contract and loosen your muscles. Then, grab the base of the cup with your fingers, and compress it gently to peel the sides off the vaginal walls and remove the vacuum.
