Lily Cup One Sizing:
The Lily Cup One is a one size menstrual cup. Best suited to teens or new cup users < 30 years old.
Dimensions: 39mm diameter | 47mm total length (including stem) | 21ml capacity
Before using your Lily Cup for the first time, it is recommended that you boil it for 5 minutes in order to sterilise it.
Insertion:
- Before handling your cup, always wash your hands.
- There are 2 ways you can fold the Lily Cup One. These are the c-fold, and half v-fold. Try each of these and pick the one that works best for you. You will be inserting the pointed end first.
- Like a tampon, angle the cup towards your tailbone and insert it into the vaginal canal.
- Release the fold and your Lily cup will open up.
- Gently squeeze the base of the cup and rotate it slightly to ensure it has fully opened and formed a light seal with the vaginal walls.
- The cup (including the stem) should sit lower than a tampon but be completely inside the vagina.
- If you find the stem is too long for you, it can be trimmed shorter using scissors.
 Removal:
- Relax your body and use your vaginal muscles to gently push your cup downwards.
- Grip the stem and gently pull downwards until you can feel the base of the cup. DO NOT pull the cup out by the stem.
- Squeeze the base of the Lily Cup to release the seal.
- Pull the cup down and just before you remove it, angle it slightly to help prevent spillage.
- Discard the menstrual fluid, wash the cup, then re-insert.
As with all menstrual cups, you should rinse your cup with clean water each time you empty and re-insert it. Washing with a specially formulated cup wash or oil and scent free soap is particularly good at some point during each day of your cycle. Once your period is finished, sterilise your cup and allow it to completely air dry before storing.
If you find that the loop stem of the Lily Cup One is protruding from the vaginal opening, then you can cut it off. However, make sure you are confident removing your cup before cutting.
No. The Lily Cup does not have measuring lines, so you will be unable to accurately measure your amount of menstrual fluid loss. As a guide, the Lily Cup One holds 21ml
Because the Lily Cup One can be folded down flat and stored in it’s own container, it’s a great option to keep in your schoolbag, locker, handbag, or in the car. It is discreet, takes up little space, and will be on hand when you need it!
The Lily Cup One is overall a smaller cup in diameter and length than the Lily Cup Compact. This makes it more suitable for younger, first time cup users. The rim of the Lily Cup One is also slightly firmer, making it easier to pop open.
