THE FRENCH MENSTRUAL CUP

Because it's good for your body, the environment and your wallet. The Luneale Cup is much more than just menstrual protection, it's an invitation to experience your period with gentleness, respect and freedom. This reusable bell-shaped hygienic protection is gently placed in the vagina to collect your flow without absorbing it, thus preserving the natural balance of your intimate flora. This innovative approach considerably reduces the risk of intimate irritation and dryness , for incomparable comfort, cycle after cycle. Unlike some tampons or pads, it contains no chemicals, bleaching agents or plastics. Reusable for several years, it is more ecological and economical than disposable protection, and more discreet than menstrual panties. Designed to adapt to all body shapes and rhythms of life, the Luneale Cup accompanies you for up to 6 hours in a row, offering you reliable protection, without any leaks or unpleasant odors. Durable and eco-responsible, the Luneale Cup is designed to last you 5 years, thus reducing your waste and your environmental impact.

In France, 1.7 million women and menstruating people cannot afford to buy sufficient quantities of menstrual protection. 1.7 million. That's huge. And it's unacceptable, because when periods become a luxury, an entire aspect of dignity is undermined. The Luneale Cup is introduced into the intimate parts of our bodies as a gentle, reliable, sustainable, and incredibly sensible solution to period poverty. The result? Hundreds of euros saved each year.

It all starts with the right choice. To experience your period smoothly and in the greatest comfort, choose a size that's right for your flow.
The Luneale Cup comes in 3 sizes depending on flow:

• Size S is suitable for light to moderate flows. It holds up to 20 ml, for 6 hours of freedom, without worrying about it. Discreet and delicate, it hugs your intimate area with ease.
• Size M is the perfect balance—one that adapts to heavier flows or those who are undecided. Sensual and secure, it accompanies you throughout the day, without ever betraying your confidence.
• And when your body demands more, size L delivers generously. For heavy flows, busy schedules, or simply when you prefer to change less often.

Once you have found the perfect size, choose inert, odorless, hydrophobic, sterilizable materials... and above all bacteriostatic materials , such as silicone, which creates a healthy and protective environment that respects your vaginal microbiota.

Sometimes, intimate well-being requires a little gentleness, know-how, and technique. This is often the case with the menstrual cup, which can sometimes be perceived as tricky to adopt without the right method. Here are our best tips for a gentle introduction to wearing menstrual cups:

• To get started with complete peace of mind, don't hesitate to combine it with a sanitary towel or menstrual panties.
• Your hygiene is the first act of self-love, so wash your hands thoroughly with a mild soap. This prevents any risk of introducing bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus .
• Practice outside of your period with a few drops of our gentle, natural lubricant . Your intimate area will thank you.
  
• And above all... no pressure! If it's not perfect the first time, it's not a problem. On average, allow 1 to 3 cycles to fully master the movements , understand your body and find the technique that suits you.

Inserting and removing a menstrual cup is no small feat. It's a process that combines self-awareness, technical skill, and respect for your inner rhythm. Let's get hands-on! There's no single way to insert a cup; there are several techniques tailored to your preferences and body shape. It's up to you to choose the one that provides the most comfort. Discover our essential methods for inserting your menstrual cup with ease:

Method 1: The classic C-fold

• Gently flatten the cup and fold it in half to form a C.

• The rounded side faces your back (towards the back of the vagina).

• Place the Cup against your vulva and gently tilt it inwards: only the top is inserted first.

• Then, grab the MoonPad and screw it slightly towards the back of the vagina.

Method 2: The Punchdown — Precise and Discreet

• Press one edge of the ring toward the center of the Cup. You will get a thin, streamlined shape.

• Insert the Cup gently, in the axis of the vagina, almost to its full height.

• Release the fold and subtly rotate it to encourage opening.

Unsure if it's properly positioned? A properly positioned Cup is about a fingertip away from the vaginal opening. It should extend fully inside, without tilting. If everything is in place, you shouldn't feel it or experience any discomfort. And if you pay attention, you might hear a slight "pop" as it opens. This is the subtle sound of a perfectly positioned Cup, ready to collect what your body releases.

When the time comes to remove it, take your time. Breathe. This gesture is also a moment of intimate listening.

• Slide your fingers and pinch the MoonPad to release the suction effect.

• Small back and forth movements will help it slide smoothly.

• If it seems to have moved away, sit on the toilet and push gently with your perineum: it will come back down naturally.

Your body knows how to do it, trust it and don't stress. Find out how the moodPad ensures easy and efficient removal in the video tutorial "how to remove your menstrual cup?"

Once you've removed your menstrual cup, always empty it first. You can empty it in the toilet, a sink, in the shower, or even outdoors if necessary.

To clean your cup, simply rinse it with clean water.Cold water is best, as warm water tends to bind blood pigments, which can discolor your cup over time and make it yellow. If you want to use a cleaning product, make sure it's specially formulated for use with menstrual cups. Avoid regular soaps or shower gels, which have an unsuitable pH and can damage the silicone or disrupt your intimate balance. And if you don't have access to water? For situations where a water source is completely inaccessible, don't panic, we have solutions. You can use toy cleaners , cup cleaning foams , or our unscented intimate wipes.

At YESforLOV, we believe that intimate hygiene can be an art: that of honoring your body with rigor. So, when you sterilize your cup, don't think "constraint." but think "intimate well-being." Sterilize your cup the first time you use it, at the start of each cycle, or after a long period of non-use.
Why? Because sterilization eliminates any residual bacteria and ensures healthy, clean, and respectful use of your vaginal flora. It's a simple but essential step to preserve your body's balance and extend the life of platinum silicone. Want to pamper your Cup the way it deserves? Discover our favorite methods for sterilizing it simply and gently:

Method 1: Boiling bath
Submerge your Cup in a pot of boiling water for 5 minutes. And to prevent it from touching the bottom and getting damaged, slip it into a kitchen whisk. A clever and practical tip.

Method 2: Gentle steam from the microwave
Place your Cup in a glass container filled with water, then let it purify for 5 minutes at 600W. Right after? Rinse it with cold water, then wait a few minutes before using it again.

What if you're traveling without access to a saucepan or microwave? Sterilization tablets will do the trick: these effervescent tablets purify the cup in 15 minutes at room temperature. Slip a tablet into a small container of water, submerge your cup, and let it do the work. It's simple, discreet, and effective.

Do all cups look the same? Think again. While their function is the same, their shape, ergonomics, materials, and technology can all make a difference in your experience.

Choosing the Luneale Cup means giving yourself total freedom, without compromise.

• During vaginal intercourse: She withdraws to make room for the encounter or keeps herself for moments of love without penetration,
• With an IUD: Yes, it's possible. However, we recommend shortening the strings and pinching the MoonPad® tightly during removal to prevent any slippage. If in doubt, talk to your midwife or gynecologist.
• After vaginal surgery:  It is better to wait and get the advice of your gynecologist or midwife.
• In case of vaginal infection or treatment: Take a break. Any internal protection could potentially irritate a weakened mucous membrane.
• After childbirth, miscarriage, or abortion: Be patient and give your body the time it needs. The Cup is not recommended until the cervix and vagina are fully healed.
• Post-episiotomy: Wait for the perineum to heal completely and re-educate. To find out how to strengthen your perineum, click here.
• In the case of intimate pathology (endometriosis, fibroids, retroverted uterus, etc.): The Cup may or may not be suitable. The best advice anyone can give you will always be that of a healthcare professional.

If you had any doubts, know that the menstrual cup is now widely recognized by the gynecological community as a safe and effective alternative to traditional disposable protection , provided of course that you invest in a quality model. This hygienic protection is not new: the first modern menstrual cup, similar to those we know today, was invented in 1937 by the American actress Leona Chalmers.
According to several clinical studies, including one published in BMC Women's Health in 2019, the use of the menstrual cup does not lead to a significant change in the vaginal microbiota , unlike tampons which absorb the flow and can dry out the mucous membranes. The cup collects the flow without disturbing the natural balance , which limits the risks of irritation and infections. Gynecologists insist that the risk of toxic shock syndrome (TSS) remains extremely low with the cup, much lower than with some super absorbent tampons. However, they emphasize the importance of good hygiene when using it: hand washing, cleaning and regular sterilization of the cup. In summary, the menstrual cup is therefore an informed choice, validated by medical research and acclaimed by users.
