No, you don’t. You can learn to use a menstrual cup even if you’ve never used a tampon. It might take a little practice at first, but most people get the hang of it quickly once they learn how to fold and insert the cup correctly.

Yes, it’s completely safe. Using a menstrual cup doesn’t affect your virginity that’s a personal or cultural concept, not something physical.

Absolutely! Menstrual cups are perfect for busy, active teens. You can wear them for up to 8–12 hours, which means you may not need to empty them at school. They also stay in place while running, dancing, or swimming.

If you need to empty your cup while you’re out, just wipe it with toilet paper or a wet wipe and reinsert. Stall Mates are great and you can find them in our shop.
Rinse it with water and mild detergent when you get home. You don’t have to sterilize it every time, just once per cycle.

It can seem intimidating at first, but most users find that cups are less messy than pads or tampons once they get used to them. After a few cycles, it becomes a simple and clean part of your routine.

Don’t worry, the cup can’t get lost inside your body. If removal feels tricky, relax your muscles, bear down slightly, and pinch the base of the cup to release the seal before gently pulling it out. A little patience and practice go a long way.

Yes! Cups are safe to wear overnight for up to 12 hours. You can sleep comfortably without worrying about leaks or needing to get up in the middle of the night.

You may have noticed that we offer a cup even smaller than the MeLuna Standard Small — the Small Shorty. We don’t feature it here because most teens don’t have a low cervix. Using a cup that’s too short when it’s not needed can cause leaks, and a cup that sits too high can be difficult to reach, which can feel stressful. If you do need a low-cervix cup, it’s available! However, in most cases, we recommend the standard-height cup for easier reach and a more secure fit.
