Description
The FemmyCycle ® is a receptacle placed in the vagina to collect blood and cellular debris discharged from the uterus via the cervix during menstruation. As the name implies, Femmy means for women only and Cycle means we’ve created a new way to help you stay fresh, clean and confident during your menstrual cycle. The FemmyCycle is a unique, soft, medical grade silicone receptacle that collects menstrual flow for up to 12 hours.
The FemmyCycle menstrual cup is made of medical grade silicone. It has no engraving in order to avoid any possibility of creating a place for bacteria or viruses to hide. The FemmyCycle is transparent and has no coloring to enhance visibility of residual menstrual fluid inside the cup.
How is the FemmyCycle different from other menstrual cups?
The FemmyCycle has a unique design and lid that keeps the menstrual flow from spilling outside the vagina. Also, unlike all other menstrual cups, the FemmyCycle unfolds slowly and gradually once it’s inserted into the vagina. The FemmyCycle does not have any holes at the rim and with its innovative design, we can assure you that this cup is the best choice for you.
How to Choose your FemmyCycle Size
When choosing which model of the FemmyCycle is the right one for your use, you need to find your cervix. Please follow these very easy instructions to locate your cervix. Please note to get the most accurate measurement, please measure the cervix during menstruation since the cervix lowers down.
Stand with one leg raised up on the toilet seat, and insert your index finger into the vagina:
- If your finger is inserted as far as it will go and you do not feel the cervix, the best choice for you is the regular FemmyCycle
- If your finger is inserted as far as will go, but you can just touch your cervix, the best choice for you is the regular FemmyCycle
- If you can only insert your finger until the second knuckle, the best choice for you is the low cervix FemmyCycle.
