Is it safe to use the menstrual cup together with the intrauterine contraceptive device?

We know that there are many cup users who can easily use it with the IUD / IUD.

Unfortunately, there are also cases in which the use of these two means of delivery of the intrauterine device has occurred. This could be due to incorrect insertion of the cup (too deep), anatomical factors (such as the lowered cervix) or simply rejection of the body.

We recommend that you consult a nurse or gynecologist.

If you have chosen to use both, consider the following:

•  There should always be free space between the cup and the suppository. If you have a low tone cone, you do not have enough space in the vagina to allow the YUUKI cup to adhere to the vaginal walls and work with the IUD. However, from the experience of many users, we know that our cups are used by girls with a higher cervix. If you are not sure of the position of the suppository or if you need more information, contact your gynecologist to obtain the information.

•  After each menstruation, check that you still feel the body's fibers. If the fibers are not felt or you feel that the IUD has moved or is causing pain, use another form of contraception, such as a condom, until a doctor or health care professional reviews the device.

The cup holds firmly thanks to the vagina muscles and the slight vacuum built up inside it.

Yes. Even women with very heavy menstruation can use the cup, but they need to empty it more often or choose the big cup size.

Most women do not feel it, particularly if they have cut away the cup stem. Some are aware of having the cup, like having a tampon. The cup is soft, and when you have the right size and type and it is correctly inserted, you should not feel any pain or discomfort.

Never insert the cup right up. The vagina is angled toward the rectum, so incline the cup in that direction. To check whether it fits tightly, grasp the stem and try to turn the cup or run your finger over the rim to check that it is oval in shape.

If you are able to turn the cup, it does not fit tightly. Try to move it carefully up and down. A little air should enter to seal the cup.

It is recommended. You should of course wash the cup daily with warm water or with disinfection water. In any case, the cup must be boiled for 5-10 minutes each time before starting to menstruate or you should use our IB - infuser box.

It might happen that you’ll be somewhere where you can’t boil the cup in a normal saucepan. In this case we recommend using our sterilization box, which is used to store the cup during your menstrual cycle and also to sterilize the cup in a microwave. We certainly do not recommend using any chemicals (Savo, peroxide).

No, you do not have to take out the cup.

It is important that it has neutral pH (unfortunately we do not recommend classic soap gel, but if it has neutral pH, then you can use it).

It doesn’t matter, however; if you’re not sure, just wash the cup with clean water and then clean it properly when you get home (you can also moisten a paper towel and use it to wipe the cup).

You take it out and clean in the same way as at home, but you should take a bottle of water, our disinfection water or a wet paper tissue with you to clean the cup before using it again. You can clean the cup thoroughly when you get back home.

You can clean the cup thoroughly with a paper tissue or toilet paper and wait until you get home to clean it properly.

That is completely up to you. The cup will change the hymen. So, if you (or your family or religion) believe that the hymen must stay intact until the wedding, you should wait until after you have first had sexual intercourse. In all other respects, it is completely all right.

You should not use the cup during pregnancy. The vaginal passage should be unobstructed during that time, even if you are in the early stages of pregnancy. For safety reasons.

You should not use the cup because of postnatal bleeding. Please wait at least 6 weeks after giving birth before starting using the cup again.

Of course. You may discover that it will relieve uncertainty. Some women experience severe cramps during the menopause. Their menstrual flow varies. The vertical position and comfort of the cup as well as its relief have helped women to withstand these cramps more easily.

Yes. The Yuuki menstrual cup is made of medical grade silicone and not latex.

Do not worry, if you follow the steps of cleaning, care and instructions to save the cup, there is no risk of infections.

Yes, you can. You only have to find the correct angle that suits you best.

You should first try out the cup and see. The experience may be different for every woman. For women who cannot opt for a specific size or softness grade we offer two cups at a special offer price.

Yes, it is completely safe. The cups are said to cause this problem, but it has never been proven. It is pure speculation.

No; if you remove the vacuum well, you can take it out easily. The cup is flexible. If you remove enough of the vacuum, you can take the cup out very easily. And it cannot get lost inside you. It is firmly encircled by the vagina muscles, forming a sort of casing in which the cup is "embedded".

Most women will have no problems taking the cup out. However, if you do, this means you did not remove the vacuum sealing the cup. First, try to relax as much as possible. If this does not help, try to squat down (which will shorten the vaginal passage) or bend forward, such as when having intestinal problems, to reach the cup better. But if you think you cannot take the cup out without spilling it, go to the shower, press the cup wall completely and take it out. Most women are more concerned with spilling the contents than taking the cup out. Nevertheless, taking it out is the main priority. Different cups each work a little differently, but they always require some experience taking them out.

It is possible that the first few times you take it out, the process will not be absolutely perfect, but don’t worry, it’s merely a matter of experience.

You can, but you must be more careful when inserting and applying it. The silicone is thick enough not to be damaged by your nails.

After cleaning and sterilizing the cup, you should put it in a clean textile bag or in the Yuuki box. Never store the cup in a plastic bag!

Yes. Nobody will know what was delivered to you.

Yes, the bags are made of cotton and can be washed both in the washing machine and by hand. Satin sachets wash them by hand.

For hygiene reasons, you should empty the cup before exercising.

No, you cannot. The cups are in the lower part of the vagina. The penis could hit the cup and change its position.

Definitely not.

Surprisingly, this is one thing that women attempt to do in countries with a lower standard of living. But our company discourages it. Particularly if it is not guaranteed that the cup is 100% sterilized. Even when it is cleaned thoroughly, there is a risk, particularly if one of the women has an infection.

Yes. It is actually recommended! It is better to master the technique before getting your period, and it is also safe.

Any type, but it must be a water-based lubricant! This information must be stated on the package of the lubricating gel. Never use lubricants containing oils or sugar!
