If the Intimina Ziggy low cervix cup leaks, it’s probably due to one of three issues. Below I outline what they are and how to manage them for fewer leaks: Just like tampons, it's a goer. You can wear menstrual cups while swimming, and for every other form of exercise. "You wear a menstrual cup completely internally, so you don’t need to worry. However, if you’ve experienced leaks and haven’t quite mastered the art yet it’s best to resolve this first," suggests the female health expert. The Lena Cup is a suction-based menstrual cup, but it has more of a tulip shape than the typical bell one, with an upper lip that curves slightly outward. It comes in two sizes, small (for people with a “normal” flow and a low-to-medium cervix depth) and large (for people with a “heavy” flow) and also offers a “sensitive” cup that’s made of slightly softer silicone. Each of its standard cups are tinted four different colors, but you can get the sensitive cup in two colors, untinted and coral. All testers tried the standard cup and most liked it. The instructions that came with the cup were helpful and straightforward and the cup was a mid-range level of firmness that made it easy to fold up, insert, and remove. However, all testers experienced trouble creating a seal, which caused some leaking. For most, the leaking was minimal, but one tester wrote that it “continually” leaked, no matter what she did. The Saalt cup’s stem is also a little longer and more spindly than most, so users may have to trim it.

I don’t think it’s my place to have much of an opinion on the matter. I’m just happy to be having sex, and I usually don’t mind the mess of period sex. It didn’t feel much different for me, besides the bit of silicone if I went too deep.” We’ll just say he’s giving it the green light. Try it For Yourself Hydrogen peroxide (1%): You can get this from most drug stores or pharmacies. Use one part 1% hydrogen peroxide and one part water. Submerge your cup and let it soak for 24 hours. Give it a good wash to remove all of the hydrogen peroxide residue before using it or storing it. Formerly called Instead Softcup, Softdisc is made of a medical-grade polymer and is hypoallergenic. For most people, DivaCup is the first brand that comes to mind when they think of menstrual cups. And, for the most part, the DivaCup lives up to its good reputation. It comes in three sizes: Model 0 (for ages 18 and under), Model 1 (for ages 18 to 30 with medium flow), and Model 3 (for ages 30 and up and/or heavy flow). The cup comes in undyed silicone only. DivaCup has a longer, narrower shape and shorter stem than most menstrual cups, which makes it ideal for some and not for others.If your cup overfills you’re at risk of leaking, so it’s a good idea to get up in the night during the heavier days of your period. How should I care for my Ziggy cup? The Blossom cup comes in two sizes (small, for lighter flows, and large, for heavier flows), and a range of colors including undyed. It’s made of silicone and has a stem with ridges for removal. Saalt is a suction-based menstrual cup with a ridged stem handle that comes in three sizes: “Teen” (for users under 18 years old or with a petite physique and a light/moderate period and low cervix); “Small” (for users with a light/moderate period and/or low cervix); and “Regular” (for users with a moderate/heavy flow and/or high cervix). The Small and Regular cups are also available in two firmness levels—standard and a softer texture intended for users who have tried cups before and experienced sensitivity, cramping, and/or difficulty going to the bathroom with the cup. Like many cups, it comes in several colors and has a quiz to figure out the size and cup type that’s best for you. Ziggy can be worn by anyone who menstruates and anyone who wants to feel fearless during the period. It’s an affordable product that doesn’t compromise on quality and lasts you years. I wouldn’t recommend the Ziggy for newbies, those averse to touching their own blood, or anyone who suspects their vagina is a little length-challenged.

On the plus side, because it has a flatter fit, the brand claims it can be worn during penetrative sex. Another tester tried this (on a lighter day, when leaking was less of a concern) and found that it worked well—so, if you’re willing to do some trial-and-error testing for (potentially) less messy period sex, the Intimina Ziggy may be worth a shot. The Nixit and Ziggy Cup are the most similar discs to each other in comparison to any other few discs on the market. If you’re looking for a disc that is firmer or a disc that offers different sizes, the Unique menstrual disc would be a good place to start. Summary However, there are ways to use both safely. Esguerra recommends taking extra care to break the seal by pinching the base of the cup before pulling it out so you don’t tug at the IUD’s strings. You may also want to get your IUD’s strings clipped. “Some providers offer a service to cut the [IUD] strings flush with the cervix so there’s less of an opportunity to pull out the IUD strings,” she says. “That’s something to talk about with your provider if you’re committed to using both products.”Ziggy Cup velikosti B má objem 76 ml a je určený na slabou až silnou menstruaci.
