FAQs
How do menstrual cups work?
A menstrual cup is a bell-shaped device that collects period flow. Fold your cup in half and insert into your vagina. Your cup will pop open and form a leak-proof seal. You can wear your cup for up to 12 hours. To remove, locate your cup using the removal ring, then pinch to break the seal and wiggle your cup out. You can wash your cup and re-use it straight away.
Is the Asan cup safe to use?
Yes, it is extremely safe. The Asan cup is made from USP Class VI silicone, which is the same material used in heart stents. It is biocompatible and does not contain plastics, toxins, BPAs or harmful chemicals. We have a patent for our design and follow strict quality standards.
Why should I get both sizes?
If you are new to cups, you may want to begin by trying the light/medium flow size as it is slightly smaller and softer. Once you are comfortable using it, you can try the heavy flow size which is larger and firmer. Many Asan cup users use the heavy flow size for the heavier days of their period, and then switch to the light/medium flow size for lighter days.
What comes in the box?
Your purchase includes two Asan cups, two cloth storage pouches, two welcome cards and two illustrated user guides. Our packaging is plastic-free and 95% recyclable.
Is the Asan cup worth the price?
As menstrual cups are inserted into the body, it is important to choose a safe and trusted brand. Many menstrual cup brands buy and resell generic products. By contrast, Asan patented our own menstrual cup design, and we control every aspect of the manufacturing process. This enables us to meet the worlds highest quality standards. The Asan cup is a truly safe and durable product that you can rely on for up to 10 years.
