The cup should be emptied within 12 hours. You can wear it for up to 12 hours, depending on your blood loss. When you first use the cup, we recommend emptying it more regularly so that you get to know your own flow.
Keep in mind that the cup is not a form of contraception or STI prevention. Of course you can have sex during your period, but always remove your cup first.
TSS is a rare condition that arises from an overgrowth of a certain type of bacteria. TSS is known to affect menstruating women, especially those who use super absorbent tampons. Still, TSS is a rare condition with 3 to 6 cases in 100,000 people every year. TSS is not only related to the use of tampons. TSS comes from toxic bacteria that shock the body. This bacteria can be transmitted through surgery, childbirth and other infections. You reduce the chance of TSS by following the instructions of the menstrual products. For specific questions about TSS, we recommend that you make an appointment with your doctor.

Yoni cup is made of medical grade silicone. This material is specially made to stay safe in your body for a long time. The cup is 100% plastic, latex and BPA-free. In addition, the material of the cup is extra soft and flexible so that it is comfortable.
Size 1 of the cup holds up to 29 ml of liquid. Size 2 holds up to 38 ml of liquid. For reference, a regular tampon absorbs about 5 ml of liquid.
According to our calculations, one Yoni cup, which has been used for 10 years, replaces at least 2,400 tampons.
The Yoni cup has a shorter stem to prevent users from pulling it when removing it, without breaking the vacuum first. When the cup is removed without first breaking the vacuum, there is a risk of internal damage in the vagina.
