Sterilize the Fleurcup menstrual cup only between each cycle.


Why is the Fleurcup menstrual cup better than a tampon ?


The Fleurcup menstrual cup enables collection of the period flow while tampons absorb this. Consequently, the Fleurcup menstrual cup does not dry or irritate your vagina.

Moreover, you can use a single cup for several years whereas a woman will use approximately 12,000 tampons in her life.

The Fleurcup menstrual cup is therefore much safer, much more practical, much more economical and creates far less pollution than a tampon.

Also, with a tampon, urine tends to return towards the vagina along the string during urination. This is not the case with the Fleurcup menstrual cup.


Can I use the Fleurcup menstrual cup if I have an IUD - a contraceptive coil or ring ?

Yes, you can wear the Fleurcup menstrual cup.


Can the Fleurcup menstrual cup be used by virgins ?

Yes. The Small Fleurcup menstrual cup can be used by virgins.


Can I keep the Fleurcup menstrual cup during coitus ?

No, you cannot.

Furthermore, the Fleurcup menstrual cup is not a contraceptive device and does not protect you against sexually transmitted diseases (STD).
