A menstrual cup is a soft, pliable silicone receptacle typically constructed of medical-grade silicone that gathers your menstrual blood instead of absorbing it and doesn’t soak like your regular tampons and pads. so it’s comfortable down there. It also goes by the nickname the eco-friendly, body-friendly alternative to tampons and pads, if you’d like to use one. The cup remains within your vaginal canal and won’t hurt you. It has a gentle seal so there are no leaks, and you remain clean for 12 hours. The best thing is that you can use it for many years, so it’s good for your body and the environment.
No! After a couple of times getting used to it, a menstrual cup is cleaner to wear than tampons or pads. The cup holds blood and doesn’t absorb it, which means there’s no dripping or goopy discomfort. After a few usages-maybe once or twice-you will get used to draining it, just like brushing your teeth. Aarya cup has a smooth edge with a smooth surface that isn’t heavy to hold. Your period doesn’t have to be stressful; the cup shouldn’t be, either.
Here’s your step-by-step guide:
Sterilize the cup and wash your hands before putting it in so it’s clean and safe.
Fold the cup (the C-fold or punch-down fold is easiest). Relax pelvis muscles and insert slowly; it will stretch out inside and form a leak-proof seal. Live your life for up to 12 hours. When full, just take it out, empty it, clean it, and reinsert it. No stink and no more mess it’s easier than it looks, promise.
First things first, chill out. Pinch the bottom of the cup so you can snap the seal (don’t pull on the stem by itself!). Wobble it gently from side to side while taking it out; don’t panic, it’s easy. Pour the contents down the toilet, rinse it out with clean water, and replace it. After practicing a few times, it’ll be second nature and a calming, quick, sanitary ritual. And yes, the gentle silicone of the Aarya cup is easy and not painful to remove.
After draining, rinse your cup with fresh water and a light, fragrance-free soap like Aarya Cup Wash. Avoid using soaps with oils or scents; they’re too harsh for sensitive skin. Sterilize your cup at the start and finish of each cycle with the Aarya Sterilizer Container (2–3 minutes in the microwave and it’s brand new). Use it like skincare for your cup: gentle, consistent, and thoughtful.
Perfectly good! Just pour the contents/blood of the cup down the toilet, empty it, rinse it with a tissue or a wet wipe, and then reuse it. If you’re on bottled water, just quickly rinse, but if you don’t have access to bottled water, don’t worry; your next home full wash will do that. The geniuses of the Aarya Cup is its 12-hour leak-proof, so most likely you won’t even have to touch it on the go.
Just one! Every Aarya Menstrual Cup lasts for years if it’s taken care of properly. Some people, though, prefer to have 2 bottles one at home and one on the go, or one as a spare while the other dries after being washed for more convenience. Either way, it’s a single upfront payment that rewards you with comfort, savings, and less waste every month.
Nope. You just need one size that’s comfortable for you all cycle long. Flow doesn’t determine your cup size; anatomy does. Select your cup by age, history of childbirth, and height of the cervix, not how heavy your flow is. A properly fitting cup functions on day one and day five equally because consistency is part of its appeal.
Not quite; we’re all constructed differently, and that’s just the reason Aarya provides a variety of sizes. The proper cup feels like it’s not present at all. A smaller cup is good for novices or lower cervixes, and a bigger one is best after childbirth or more flow. Once you’ve found your mate, you’ll know ease makes itself felt.
Not at all. Cleanliness and hygiene should never be compromised used or secondhand cups can carry bacteria or infections, even if they’re your family member’s. Your menstrual cup has to be your own, sterilized, and stored safely. It’s an intimate product that comes in contact with your most sensitive skin; sharing is not caring here. Always prefer to use a fresh, medically tested cup like Aarya; it’s tested and made with 100% medical-grade silicone and thoroughly tested for safety and biocompatibility, so you know it’s gentle and safe for your body.
With proper care, your menstrual cup can last for years. But you can easily notice when it is time for a new one if the silicone begins to appear cloudy or sticky or develops an odd smell even after washing. Small tears or a rough surface are also indicators to change it. On average, most women change their cup every 2–3 years for comfort and hygiene. When a favourite pair of shoes no longer feels right, it’s time for an upgrade.
A good-quality medical-grade silicone cup (such as Aarya) can last for 5 years yes, five! That’s about 60 times of comfort, saving, and no more waste. Its lifetime is based on how well you clean and store it. Soak it with mild soap, sterilise it before and after your period, and store it in a breathable pouch. It’s small care for something that gives back months of ease and freedom.
Your ideal cup size is based on your age, history of childbirth, and height of cervix and not simply flow. Here’s the simple rule: Small: For teenagers, newbies, or those who’ve never given birth. Medium: For women with average flow or those who have had a vaginal delivery. Large: For heavy flow or comfort after childbirth. If in doubt, begin small. You’ll soon see what comes naturally. And if you’re wearing Aarya, every size is made to be flexible, soft, and body-adaptive literally no pressure.
If your cup fits right, you won’t feel a thing. Our cervixes do have sizes, so make sure to check which fits best. A properly inserted menstrual cup sits low in the vaginal canal and creates a gentle seal so it doesn’t poke, pinch, or remind you it’s there; it creates its own space and makes you comfortable. The first couple of tries may feel odd (it’s new territory, after all), but once you find your angle, it’ll feel like nothing. If you can feel the stem, just trim it slightly; comfort should always be customised.
You will know it is in properly when it feels snug and you don’t feel it shift. After insertion, slightly turn the cup; it should “pop” open and create a light vacuum seal. You can circle your finger around the base to ensure that it is totally open. If it is folded or uneven, make small adjustments. It is perfect when it’s seated and there are no leaks, pressures, or stresses.
Yes, you can! The vagina is elastic; it stretches just enough to fit the cup snugly. Start with a smaller size, and be patient putting it in; don’t panic and be harsh on yourself. The Aarya Menstrual Cup is made from gentle medical-grade silicone that adjusts to the shape of your body and moves with your body; it takes the shape of your body. It might take a few attempts to get it just right, but once you have, it’ll feel like second nature.
Nope! Your cup can’t get stuck forever; your body isn’t built that way. Your vagina is not a dark hole where things will get lost in it. Sometimes, it might move a little higher, especially during sleep or exercise, but it’s always within reach. Take a deep breath, relax your muscles, and gently bear down as if you’re passing gas. The cup will naturally move down. Pinch the base to release the seal and remove it calmly.
Not a chance! Your vaginal canal is a few inches deep and sealed off by your cervix there is nowhere for the cup to travel. It can’t get “lost”, although it may ride up a bit. When that occurs, take a deep breath, sit in a squatting position, and it’ll come on down freely. Your body is intended to be your friend, not your enemy. The cup is merely a guest, not a traveller.
No, menstrual cups don’t result in backflow. They contain blood safely and keep it from leaking or backing up. Your cervix naturally releases the flow downward; the cup just catches it. The seal it creates keeps things in their spot without interfering with your natural flow. So, no worries, your cup isn’t altering biology; it’s just doing it better.
Not at all, provided you clean it properly. Menstrual blood itself doesn’t have a smell; it’s a mixture with air and bacteria on pads or tampons that makes them stinky. Since cups collect and don’t absorb, and they are kept sealed inside, there is minimal contact with air. Rinse your cup with gentle soap and water; sterilize it before and after each cycle. That is all that is needed to keep things clean. With Aarya, freshness is not a scent, just pure care properly done.
Yes, definitely! The stem is only present to serve as a guide for you to find the cup not to prick or bother you. If it’s too long or causes irritation, cut it gradually until it fits well. Don’t, however, cut the whole base off you still require enough traction to remove it comfortably. Use sterilized scissors and clean the cup before and after cutting. The intention is straightforward: your cup must be invisible, not obtrusive. Comfort triumphs.
Those small holes by the rim aren’t ornaments they’re vital. They assist in releasing air when the cup opens within you, enabling it to form a soft seal that avoids leaks. Consider them “breathing points” for the cup. They also make removal easier, since they break suction when you pinch the base. Small detail, huge difference. The design on every Aarya cup incorporates these micro details for a purpose comfort is in the engineering.
Not quite a properly inserted cup seals tight and doesn’t require backup. If you’re new to menstrual cups or still getting used to inserting it, you can use a panty liner for a little extra peace of mind. Once you get the hang of it (and trust us, you will sooner than you think!), you won’t need anything else. Once you do get the hang of it (and you will, in no time!), you won’t require anything else. The Aarya cup is leak-free for 12 hours trustworthy enough to skip the extras
Every 8–12 hours, as per your flow. Most women can wait half a day without worrying that is the charm of a menstrual cup. During heavier days, you can check every 6–8 hours, just for comfort’s sake. If you have a light flow, you can get away with it for a longer period without any complications. It’s safe, hygienic, and made for extended protection. No hurry and no more stains just rhythm in harmony with your body.
It shouldn’t hurt at all perhaps it will just be a little uncomfortable the first time. So just relax. When you tense up, your muscles contract and make it more difficult to remove. Pinch the base to break the seal, then wiggle out the cup gently while keeping your cool. Aarya’s soft silicone construction makes removal glissade-like, not scratchy. It’s a swift, clean motion once you find your angle, more “ahh” than “ouch.
Yes, absolutely. Your menstrual cup resides in your vaginal canal, completely different from where you pee (urethra) or poop (anus). You may feel a bit of pressure if your bladder’s full, but it’s normal. Just be certain the cup is correctly seated and not against your pelvic wall. You can go about your bathroom business as usual; the cup doesn’t budge and doesn’t clog anything. Promise.
Yes, you can! Knowing your period’s rhythm (and those pre-cramp signs never deceive) allows you to put your cup in a few hours before your flow starts. It’s a good way to prevent that “oh no” when your period catches you in public. Remember only this: don’t leave it in for more than 12 hours without a check. After your period starts, you’re good to go for leak-free comfort on day one.
Yes, you can easily! A tilted cervix or uterus is pretty normal, and menstrual cups can function perfectly well with it. The trick is discovering a soft, flexible cup (such as Aarya) and experimenting with a different insertion angle. You may insert it lower or tilt it towards your back, whatever feels most comfortable for your body. The flexibility of the cup means that it will adjust to your anatomy, not you trying to adjust your anatomy to it.
Yes, a virgin can wear a menstrual cup. The cup would easily fit in your vagina without causing any damage. Go ahead and start off with a smaller size. Relax your pelvic muscles and make use of a water-based lubricant if required. Indeed, it may take a little time to get used to. But yes, it’s absolutely safe. Using the cup does not make you lose your virginity; it is just another way of managing your period confidently and comfortably.
It will stretch the hymen, but it does not take your virginity. The hymen is a thin, moveable membrane that can be naturally stretched by any activity, like biking, dancing, or even stretching. A menstrual cup does not take away from your worth, your identity, or your womanhood; it’s just a product that makes your period cleaner and more sustainable. Virginity isn’t anatomy; it’s choice.
Ah, yes, but let me tell you the truth: if you’re self-stimulating yourself externally, you’re okay; the cup will not get in the way. However, with anything internal, such as penetration or toys, take out the cup. It is not so much an issue of safety but of comfort. The cup snugly occupies your vaginal canal, and the pressure resulting from penetration might push or dislodge it. The bottom line? Just listen to your body and try to stay comfortable, remembering that pleasure and periods can go together but respectfully.
Yes, you can. And ironically, in many ways, a menstrual cup will allow you to better see your actual flow and thus better understand your body’s rhythm. Clots are normal for most people, particularly on heavy days. The Aarya cup is also flexible and can hold 3x as much as a pad, so even with clots, it won’t overflow quickly. That said, if you experience frequent or unusually large clots, though, it’s worth getting checked out by your gynaecologist; knowledge is care.
Though menstrual cups don’t “treat” cramps per se, most users find their discomfort lightens up. Here’s why: tampons and pads might irritate or dry you out, but cups won’t. The Aarya cup is constructed with soft medical-grade silicone that flows with your body naturally, so there is no interior pressure. And sometimes, not having to worry about leaks or discomfort allows your body to relax more, which can further soothe the cramps too. Freedom does more good than we know.
Yes, absolutely! That’s one of the best advantages of having a menstrual cup. It’s totally leakproof; don’t worry about pool being red when you dive during periods It’s a myth that the cup won’t absorb water and will remain firmly in place so you can swim, surf, or soak without a care. Unlike a tampon, it won’t swell or move. So go ahead and dive in; your period doesn’t have to keep you on the shore.
Of course! The Aarya cup is designed to move with you. Whether you’re running to yoga or dancing to weight training, it stays exactly where it should; it moves with your movement. It’s soft and flexible silicone that molds to the shape of your body, it creates that space in itself forming a seal that moves with your muscles, not against them. You’ll forget it’s even there. No more stains, no shifting, or any kind of discomfort. Periods shouldn’t pause your power, and with a cup, they won’t.
Not immediately. After giving birth, your body needs time to heal. It’s handled pain, pressure, and more through stretching. Doctors usually recommend avoiding using anything internal, including a menstrual cup, for at least 6–8 weeks, until postpartum bleeding (lochia) fully stops. Once you are healed with scars and pain and given the go-ahead from your doctor, the Aarya menstrual cup can be a great next step, especially because it’s gentle, safe, and reusable. Your body needs patience before progress.
If you are only mildly vaginismatic, you may want to try a menstrual cup, but only if and when you are ready and comfortable. Start small, go slow, and listen to your body. Because your muscles show that tightness when something is around the vagina, it’s normal, not odd. A soft, pliable cup like Aarya’s may be helpful sometimes in building confidence and body awareness. However, if pain or fear of pain arises with insertion, stop. There is no need to rush; there is no “Should I try one more time?” Healing is all about you and always about your comfort.
Yes, you can, and many women with endometriosis find menstrual cups more comfortable than tampons or pads. Because the Aarya cup collects rather than absorbs blood, it creates less dryness and friction. The soft silicone moves with your body without pulling on it and doesn’t exert additional pressure on the pelvic area. But remember, everyone is different, so if you hurt, talk to your gynecologist and find your comfort zone. The goal here is comfort.
