Some of the FAQs
[sc_fs_multi_faq headline-0=”h2″ question-0=”does the cup hurt when inserting or removing?” answer-0=”For some women, the cup will be a bit uncomfortable while inserting or removing, especially during the first few times using the cup. However, with practice, the cup becomes easier to use and should not cause discomfort when inserting or removing.” image-0=”” headline-1=”h2″ question-1=”can the cup get stuck or lost inside you?” answer-1=”You may panic and feel that the cup is lost or stuck inside you, but don’t worry—it’s not. It’s physically impossible for the cup to fit in the opening of the cervix, so there’s no way elacup can get lost in your body or reach your uterus. The cup can’t leave your vaginal canal, which is only a few inches long.” image-1=”” headline-2=”h2″ question-2=”Will a menstrual cup break the hymen? ” answer-2=”Using a menstrual cup does have the potential to stretch or break the hymen. The hymen is a type of membrane that rests at the entrance of your vagina and partially covers it but doesn’t completely seal it. Every woman’s hymen is different and some women don’t even have a hymen. The hymen is elastic and in many cases, penetrative sex may stretch the hymen but not tear or break it. Using a tampon can also cause the hymen to stretch or tear. It’s possible that the hymen can tear from doing practically anything, from yoga to horseback riding. However, if having an intact hymen is important to you, using a menstrual cup may not be the best choice for period protection.” image-2=”” headline-3=”h2″ question-3=”Can I use the cup if I have an IUD or use a contraceptive ring?” answer-3=”Yes, but there are precautions you should take with both. An Intra Uterine Device (IUD) usually has strings that dangle at the opening of the cervix, so you may need to ask your doctor to trim them so they don’t interfere with the cup. Using a menstrual cup can dislodge an IUD as can some other activities, so always exercise caution. You can do this by making sure your menstrual cup is in the right position and isn’t touching the IUD strings. If you wear a contraceptive ring, it might be difficult to remove the cup without removing the ring. You should insert the ring before you insert your cup. If the ring does get removed with your cup, don’t panic, you can simply place it back in. You should always follow up with your doctor with any concerns you have regarding use of the menstrual cup and contraceptives based on your unique anatomy.” image-3=”” headline-4=”h2″ question-4=”Can the cup cause a yeast infection or UTI?” answer-4=”No. However, it’s essential to follow the directions when using elacup to prevent infection; this mainly includes washing your hands and the cup when any contact is made. In addition, should you have a yeast infection or a urinary tract infection, be sure to use the sanitizing container to ensure all bacteria is removed from your cup before using it again.” image-4=”” headline-5=”h2″ question-5=”Can menstrual cup cause TSS” answer-5=”Because the device has to be inserted into the vagina, there has been a long-standing concern that menstrual cups cause toxic shock syndrome (TSS). The researchers found that in the study sample, there were only five reported cases of TSS, a potentially fatal condition caused by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus. But the researchers were not able to compare the risk of TSS from menstrual cups with the risk from other products because the overall number of menstrual cup users is not known. https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2019/07/17/742370168/menstrual-cups-they-re-safe-to-use-and-people-like-using-them
