Have you not tried a menstrual cup before? Don’t worry, using the menstrual cup takes a little practice, but once you learn it, you'll never want to go back to the old way again!
To make it as easy and comfortable as possible to use a menstrual cup, you should choose the right size for yourself. With the help of these 5 tips you will easily choose the correct menstrual cup size!
1. The most important point when choosing a menstrual cup is the amount of menstrual bleeding. Light size for light bleeding, Medium size for moderate bleeding and Heavy for heavy bleeding. Do you think you have light, moderate or heavy bleeding? Consider how often you have to change your menstrual protection and whether the protection is full when you change it. If you change the menstrual protection every time you go to the bathroom and it isn’t entirely soaked, your bleeding is likely to be moderate. If during the first days of bleeding, you have lots of clots or you have to change your menstrual protection often because it is full, your menstrual bleeding is likely to be heavy.
2. Are you a young person who is practicing using a menstrual cup for the first time? In this case, choose the Light size — it's the easiest way to practice using the menstrual cup. Once you learn how to use the menstrual cup, you can choose to change it to the Medium on heavier bleeding days, especially if the Light size fills up too quickly and you have to empty it several times a day.
3. Have you given birth? Some women who have given birth want to use a Light-sized menstrual cup - especially if their bleeding is light, e.g. when using a hormonal IUD. However, most choose the Medium or Heavy size. The Nomai Menstrual Cup is made of such soft silicone that in use you will not notice a difference in the size you are using.
4. Do you experience heavy bleeding? In this case, definitely choose the Heavy size! It will allow menstruation to become care-free and you won’t have to empty the Nomai Menstrual Cup every time you go to the bathroom.
5. Do you have stress urinary incontinence, prolapse, or feel like you haven't had time to take care of your pelvic floor muscles? In this case, the Heavy size is an excellent choice! It settles well against the walls of the vagina, as a bonus it also reduces stress urinary incontinence, keeps prolapse under control and helps you find the pelvic floor muscles. The Heavy-sized menstrual cup is a brilliant training aid for pelvic floor exercises!
