How to Use: If you’re interested in using a menstrual cup, you’ll have to find out what size you need, and talk with your gynecologist. You can buy any of the brands online or in most stores but most menstrual cup brands sell small and large versions.
When To Take it Out: You can wear a menstrual cup for 6-12 hours, depending on whether or not you have a heavy flow. This means you can use a cup for overnight protection. You should always remove your menstrual cup by the 12-hour mark.
