It’s a small, flexible cup made of 100% medical-grade silicone (platinum). It is inserted in the
vagina and instead of absorbing your flow, like a tampon or pad, it collects it. After a couple of hours,
you throw the menstrual blood collected, wash and reuse the cup again. Thus, one menstrual Q cup
can be used for up to 5 years.
1. STERILIZE: Disinfect the cup before every use by washing with AmTrue Menstrual Cup Wash and then sterilize by putting it in boiling water for 3-5 minutes or by using AmTrue Menstrual Cup Sterilizer.
2. FOLD & HOLD: Take the cup with clean hands and fold its rim twice, holding it firmly between your thumb and forefinger.
3. INSERT: Hold the cup at an angle, aiming towards the base of your spine. Gently separate the labia with your free hand. Push the curved edge of the folded cup into the vaginal opening. Make sure you are relaxed while doing so.
4. REMOVE: With clean hands, reach for the base of the cup and pinch it to release the vacuum. Gripping the stem, gently pull it out.
5. EMPTY: Simply empty the menstrual blood into the toilet pot and rinse the cup with AmTrue Menstrual Q Cup Wash befor
1. Since the cup is inserted in the vagina it does not cause rashes as regular sanitary pads do.
2. You can enjoy complete freedom of movement when wearing the cup even during activities like swimming and working out.
3. When inserted properly, there is no leakage. The cup can be left inside for up to 9 hours unlike pads and tampons that have to be changed more frequently.
4. Menstrual Q cups do not create a sanitary waste like pads and tampons which take over 500 years to decompose.
5. One cup can last you for up to 5 years helping you save on the monthly expenditure on pads/tampons.
An average woman bleeds anywhere between 30-80ml during one cycle. The cup can hold upto
15, 25 or 30 ml of blood, depending on the size of the cup (small, medium or large). Hence, the cup
can easily hold the blood during your periods!
Menstrual Q cup is not changed, but the same cup is removed and reinserted after rinsing off the
collected flow. The frequency of which depends on the level of flow you experience on each day of
your period. In general, no period product (pads/cloth/tampon included), should be used for longer
than 9 hours at a stretch in single use.
Yes, cups are made of 100% medical grade silicone (platinum) and are safe to be inserted inside
the vagina.
Yes, you can. Menstrual Q cups can be worn for up to 9 hours so you can sleep with one on. But
keep in mind to empty it on time, as soon as you wake up and just before going to bed.
Yes, you can. Menstruators bleed from the vagina and pee from the urethral opening. The
menstrual Q cup sits in the vagina and collects blood, allowing you to comfortably pee from the
urethral opening.
No, the cup cannot get lost inside. The cup is inserted into the vaginal canal which is like a tube
that runs from the vaginal opening to the cervix. The cup cannot pass through your cervix and thus
cannot get lost inside.
The AmTrue Q Cup lasts for up to 5 years.
There are no known side effects of using menstrual Q cups. They are safe to use.
AmTrue Menstrual Q cup is made up of 100% medical grade silicone (platinum).
Locate the stem of the cup with your fingers. Pinch the base of the cup to release the vacuum.
Tug at it (the base, not the stem) while giving a poop-like push and slide the cup out with its mouth
facing upwards to avoid spilling.
Cups can be used by menstruators with low cervix. If need be, they may trim the stem of the
cup.
Wash the cup with soap and warm water or AmTrue Menstrual Cup Wash to remove stains and
any residue.
Wash the cup with just water or use AmTrue Menstrual Cup Wash each time you remove, empty
and reinsert the cup. At the end and beginning of your periods, sterilize the cup by putting it in boiling
water for 3-5 mins. Dry it and keep it in a safe place.
Try changing positions, like sitting or squatting.
Increase your internal abdominal pressure (like you would to pass a bowel movement) to help move
the menstrual Q cup down the vagina. It is important that you do not panic and or get stressed while
trying to take out the cup.
No. The vagina is highly elastic and can expand to fit objects like menstrual Q cups. Once the
object is removed, it goes back to its natural state.
Firstly, ensure that the cup is positioned correctly.
Next, make sure the cup is fully open inside, you can check this by inserting your finger and making
sure it opens up.
You should not have penetrative sex with a cup on.
Here are a few conditions which can lead to Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS):
1. Presence of Staph (Staphylococcus Aureus) in the vaginal canal- it is normally not present there and can be introduced through our hands while inserting, hence washing hands before inserting is important
2. Presence of a cut or bruise inside the vaginal canal
3. Staph to release toxins If any menstrual hygiene management product is used mindfully and changed/emptied every 6 to 9 hours, TSS should not happen. If used correctly as per the instructions, menstrual Q cups do not elevate the individual’s risk of TSS. Theoretically, since menstrual Q cups have blood on the inside and silicone forms a physical barrier between the blood and the vaginal walls, the odds are less in the favour of TSS.
Wash the cup with just water or use AmTrue Menstrual Q Cup Wash each time you remove,
empty and reinsert the cup. At the end and beginning of your periods, sterilize the cup by putting it in
boiling water for 3-5 mins, dry it and keep it in a clean place. To provide hygienic and hassle-free
periods, AmTrue also offers menstrual Q cup wash.
The four holes are there to help release the vacuum while removing the cup. Ensure that the
holes are not blocked when inserting the cup.
Yes, our menstrual Q cups are BPA-free and FDA-approved.
Yes, our cups are allergy-free
Yes, our cups are toxin-free
Some amount of discolouration is expected with use of cup, especially if you are boiling the cup
for sterilization. Using menstrual Q cup wash and steam sterilization can help delay this
discolouration.
Yes, they can. However, we suggest you take your doctor’s advice if using the cup for collecting
post-abortion flow.
Leaking associated with menstrual Q cup is most commonly attributed to your cup being
positioned incorrectly, not creating a secure suction seal or not using the right size. Adjusting your
insertion method using a different fold or placement height can improve your experience and ensure
that your cup is inserted correctly and sealing completely.
The movement of the cup in the canal shows that it hasn’t created a seal with the walls of the
vagina. Usually, the cup is supposed to be positioned at the base of the vagina, but it is highly
dependent on the user’s anatomy.
No, the cup does not lead to vaginal dryness as the cup only collects the blood and doesn’t
absorb it.
Yes, it is absolutely safe considering that you follow hygiene and recommended cleaning
instructions. AmTrue Menstrual Q cup contains no sulphates, no parabens, no formaldehyde and this
prevents any harm on the skin. It is made of 100% medical grade silicone (platinum) and is safe for
use
