Intimina Lily Menstrual Cup B

The Intimina Lily Menstrual Cup B is a body-safe, medical-grade silicone period cup designed specifically for women with a history of childbirth or those with a weaker pelvic floor. Unlike traditional cups, its unique angled shape and ultra-thin profile mimic the comfort of a tampon while offering up to 8 hours of leak-free protection for medium to heavy flows.

Constructed from 100% medical-grade silicone, this cup is free from phthalates, latex, and BPA, ensuring it is safe for sensitive skin and body tissues. The product features a distinct two-tiered design where the taller rim sits at the cervix, providing a secure seal that prevents leakage during active periods, while the shorter stem allows for easy removal without discomfort. This anatomical engineering makes insertion and removal significantly easier compared to standard ring-shaped cups, reducing the risk of the cup getting lost or causing pain upon extraction.

For optimal hygiene and longevity, the Lily Cup B is reusable and dishwasher safe, eliminating the need for constant repurchasing and reducing your carbon footprint. The material is naturally lubricated by body fluids, though users with a very dry vagina may find a water-based lubricant helpful during initial insertions. When not in use, the cup can be easily folded or rolled into a compact size for discreet storage in a bag or drawer, making it an ideal travel companion.

Proper usage is key to maximizing the cup's 8-hour wear time and ensuring comfort. Before insertion, the cup should be washed with warm water and mild, unscented soap, or sterilized by boiling for 5-10 minutes. To insert, fold the cup in half with the tall rim facing away from you, then roll it upwards to create a smaller, tampon-like shape. Angle the cup towards your tailbone and push it upwards into the vaginal canal until the removal stem is no longer visible inside the body. Once inserted, run a finger around the rim to ensure it has popped open into its cup shape; if it remains folded, it may not seal properly.

During removal, gently push down on the base of the cup to break the vacuum seal, then grip the stem and pull downwards slowly. If the cup does not release, try wiggling it slightly or pushing down harder on the base. After removal, empty the contents into the toilet and rinse immediately. For deep cleaning, place the cup in a dishwasher on the top rack or boil it for sterilization before re-insertion. Regular cleaning after each use prevents bacterial growth and maintains the integrity of the silicone material over time.

Choosing between the Lily Cup A and Lily Cup B depends largely on your anatomy and flow. The Lily Cup B is recommended for women who have given birth vaginally, as the cervix may be positioned lower, requiring a cup with a longer stem and larger capacity. It is also suitable for those with a weaker pelvic floor who may need the extra support and comfort provided by the angled design. If you have a heavier menstrual flow, the Lily Cup B's larger volume capacity makes it the superior choice for preventing leaks during intense days.
