How to use the Haakaa Flow Cup:
Insertion:
- Always make sure you have clean hands before touching and inserting your flow cup.
- Place your finger on the top rim of your Flow Cup and press down into the centre. This will form a triangle shape and create a smaller insertion point (also known as the ‘punch down fold’.
- With one hand, hold the folded cup firmly.
- Find a comfortable position and gently insert your cup into the vagina. Make sure you are relaxed and that you insert the cup towards the tip of your tailbone.
- Check that the cup has expanded completely after insertion by running your index finger around the base of the cup.
Removal:
- Make sure you have clean hands.
- Use the stem of the cup to guide you to the base of the cup.
- Pinch the base of the Flow cup to release the suction and then gently pull down until the cup is removed.
Rinse and re-insert, or at the end of your period, wash, sterilize, and store the Flow Cup inside its case until next required.
How to Clean the Haakaa Flow Cup:
Before first use and at the end of each cycle, please sterilise your Haakaa cup.
During your cycle, simply rinse under cold water and/or wash with a mild scent-free and oil-free soap. You may also wash the Haakaa with any brand of menstrual cup wash.
- DO NOT use any bleach-based cleaners.
- Store in a dry, cool place and avoid storing in direct sunlight.
Check the condition of your Haakaa cup regularly and replace it if there are any signs of damage.

Bit too small on heavy flow days but it’s easy to use

Love this cup. The other brand I tried wasn’t firm enough but this cup gives me confidence with no leaks.

Great discreet packaging and love the cup itself! Came with a good set of instructions for use and cleaning, and a handy box and pouch to keep it in when not being used. Had a heart attack the first time I used it and couldn’t reach the stem to pull it out, but a bit of googling gave me some tricks to try and all was well in the end! So the short stem initially worried me, but is actually fine. Really nice soft silicone, easy to use and clean.
