What is a menstrual cup?

The Nomai Menstrual Cup is a durable, reusable menstrual protection made of medical grade silicone.
As its name implies, it is a cup that is inserted into the vagina to collect menstrual discharge. The first menstrual cup was designed in the 19th century, so it is by no means a new invention. Among the numerous menstrual cup brands on the market, Nomai Menstrual Cup is an option with strong medical expertise behind its product development.

Superior option

The Nomai Menstrual Cup makes life easier in many ways and frees you to do things that weren’t done before during menstruation.

The Nomai Menstrual Cup has been designed together with menstrual cup users. During the product development process, numerous different structural models of the menstrual cup were drawn, from which, through testing, it was developed into the diamond it is now.

Due to the softness, narrow lower part and smooth surface of the Nomai Menstrual Cup, it is inconspicuous in use and does not press on the bladder or irritate the delicate mucous membranes of the vagina. Thanks to the smooth surface and large air holes, the menstrual cup is also easy to clean. The antenna of the cup and the grip reinforcement at its base increase the comfort of use of the cup.

The superior characteristics of the Nomai Menstrual Cup include the following:

Three different sizes. We are not all the same, several different sizes help you find the most suitable menstrual cup for yourself. It is recommended that you choose the size primarily according to the amount of leakage.

The very soft material and unique design of the Nomai Menstrual Cup fit each person's anatomy. It is easier to insert and remove, and it prevents transient bleeding.

The smooth surface of the Nomai Menstrual Cup does not irritate delicate mucous membranes and is hygienic, as the smooth surface is easy to clean.

The antenna at the base of the Nomai Menstrual Cup, formed by small beads. The beads allow the antenna to be easily shortened if necessary.

The Nomai Menstrual Cup is suitable for You — no matter your age or stage of life!

Care-free and discreet

Among the most important guidelines in the design of the Nomai Menstrual Cup have been knowledge of uterine anatomy and menstrual physiology. The Nomai Menstrual Cup is made of extra soft silicone that fits naturally into the vagina and perfectly adapts to each individual's anatomy. A large group of Finnish women of different ages tested the Nomai Menstrual Cup during the product development phase. A menstrual cup should be discreet, reliable, easy to use and extremely safe. Nomai is all of this.

Nomai Menstrual Cups are made from 100% medical silicone proven to be safe and that has received FDA approval. The colours have been tested according to international standards and are suitable for medical use. The silicone of the Nomai Menstrual Cup is free of harmful chemicals, latex, phthalates, BPA and parabens.

Medical silicone does not irritate or dry the mucous membranes, since it does not absorb anything into itself, but collects menstrual bleeding. The Nomai Menstrual Cup can therefore be safely used even on days of less menstruation. You can wear the Nomai Menstrual Cup continuously for up to 12 hours. The Nomai Menstrual Cup is a hygienic menstrual protection, since medical silicone is not a favourable substrate for bacteria.

Environmentally friendly menstrual protection

Promoting sustainable development is at the heart of Nomai's world of values. Disposable sanitary towels and tampons produce over 100 kilograms of poorly degrading and plastic-containing waste during the life of a menstruating individual. The Nomai Menstrual Cup is a plastic-free, reusable menstrual protection, which can be used for several years. By choosing the Nomai Menstrual Cup, you are doing a great favour not only to yourself, but also to our planet.

No animal ingredients are used in the production of the Nomai Menstrual Cup, which means that they are also suitable for vegans.

When it is time to replace the Nomai Menstrual Cup for a new one, you can dispose of the old one either in mixed waste or, for example, by burning in the fireplace. No harmful substances are released when burning silicone; it burns at a sufficiently high temperature into white ash.

Frequently asked questions

The Nomai Menstrual cup is made of medical grade silicone, which does not dry the mucous membranes and is not a favourable breeding ground for bacteria. In the menstrual cup, blood is collected inside the menstrual cup and it does not come in contact with the mucous membranes. It is not necessary to empty the menstrual cup every time you use the toilet, and it is often enough to empty it every 12 hours. Nomai Menstrual Cups come in three different sizes, which can hold menstrual bleeding volumes, depending on the size of the menstrual cup, from 23 ml to 41 ml. With a menstrual cup, you have more freedom to take part in different sports, such as swimming, than with a tampon.

Tampons are made of cotton or rayon. A tampon is made of absorbent material, which is in direct contact with the mucous membranes. Due to its absorbency, it can also dry the mucous membranes while absorbing menstrual bleeding. In this case, blood is in contact with the mucous membranes and acts as a good breeding ground for bacteria. For this reason, tampons have an unpleasant odour more often than with menstrual cups. A tampon has to be changed every time you go to the bathroom.

Yes, you can! There is no age limit for using a menstrual cup. If you have used tampons, it is faster to learn how to use a menstrual cup. By practicing, anyone will learn to use a menstrual cup. If you have not had sexual intercourse, initially choose the smallest menstrual cup (size light) with which it is most comfortable to practice using a menstrual cup. If necessary, you can put a water-soluble lubricant on the surface of the menstrual cup or soak the menstrual cup with water.

You can use a menstrual cup with an IUD. Be sure to remove the negative pressure from the menstrual cup before removing it. The moon cup settles in the vagina below the cervix and usually does not hit the cervix and the threads of the IUD. Discuss this further with your gynaecologist and ask them to check that the IUD removal threads are not too long. If the threads become longer, consult your gynaecologist, who will make sure that the IUD is well in place.
