How Long Can a MeLuna Menstrual Cup Stay In?
You can safely wear your MeLuna menstrual cup for 8 to 12 hours at a time, depending on your flow. Most users find it sufficient to empty the cup 2 to 4 times a day, but the frequency may vary based on individual flow and the day of your cycle.
Tip: Start by emptying the cup at the same intervals you would have changed tampons or pads. This will help you figure out the best routine for your body.
- Yes, you can wear the cup overnight—just be sure to empty it at least every 12 hours.
- No, you don’t need to remove the cup every time you go to the bathroom, although some users may find it necessary due to strong pelvic muscles, etc.
How to Remove Your MeLuna Cup
-
Wash your hands thoroughly.
-
Find a comfortable position—many prefer sitting.
-
Use your pelvic floor muscles to gently push the cup downward. This often breaks the seal naturally.
-
If the seal remains, pinch the base of the cup (not just the handle) to release it.
-
Gently pull the handle (ball, ring, or stem) only after breaking the seal.
✨ Practice makes perfect! The first few times may take patience—stay relaxed and take your time.
Can a Menstrual Cup Get Lost Inside Me?
No! Your MeLuna cup cannot get lost in your body. The cervix is a natural barrier—your menstrual cup can't pass through it.
Why Does My Cup Look Oval After Removal?
That’s completely normal! The MeLuna cup is made from TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), a material that adapts to your body. Since the vagina is shaped more like a flattened tube than a perfect circle, your cup may appear oval-shaped after use. This simply means it’s doing its job—creating a perfect, leak-proof seal.
Silicone cups don’t reshape the same way, so TPE’s adaptive fit is one of the unique benefits of MeLuna.
Thinking of a Dry Run? Here’s What to Know
Many first-time users try inserting the cup before their period. That’s fine—but keep in mind:
-
Your cervix sits lower during your period, so the fit may feel different.
-
More natural lubrication during your cycle also makes insertion easier.
If a dry run feels tricky, don’t worry—it’s likely to feel better during your actual period.
