A Firmer Cup for Sport & Exercise
Getting the right size and learning proper insertion techniques are crucial for maximum comfort and effectiveness. Don't worry, though, there's a learning curve to using menstrual cups, especially during workouts. It may take some practice, but as you become more familiar with your cup, the comfort level will increase.
And don't forget to prep your cup pre-workout! A quick emptying and readjustment can make all the difference in maintaining a snug fit and optimal functionality during even the most intense training sessions. So, with the right menstrual cup and a little bit of prep, you can exercise with confidence and without any worries!
Success with sport menstrual cups comes down to this:
- Secure Fit: Firmer material ensures the cup stays in place, preventing leaks.
- Sizing and Insertion: Choose the right size and learn to insert the cup properly.
- Practice Makes Perfect: Familiarity with the cup decreases initial discomfort.
- Pre-Workout Prep: Empty and adjust your cup before high-intensity activities.
Many types of sport and exercise demand a high degree of core muscle engagement. This is where the MeLuna Sport menstrual cup really excells.
It's made from a firmer menstrual cup material, which resists compression during those activities.
This is important since compression would mean the seal could break and the cup would leak.
Perfect for Martial Arts
"Martial arts that involve a lot of throws and rolls, like Aikido, can be especially challenging during my period. That's why it's important to have a menstrual cup I can rely on."
Karin Kohler, Founder/Owner MeLuna USA - Aikido and Taekwon-Do Student
What to Expect with Menstrual Cups for Sport
Because the material is firmer it can be a little harder to fold. That means it might take more practice to insert and remove a menstrual cup made from a firmer material, like the MeLuna Sport cup.
The firmer material can also be slightly more noticeable during insertion and removal. This will be especially noticeable towards the end of your period when there is less moisture.
To ensure your comfort, most customers prefer to have the MeLuna Sport as a secondary cup to their MeLuna Classic, rather than using the Sport menstrual cup as their only cup.
Important Things to Know
MeLuna Sport cups resist leaking because they are firmer and resist compression.
There are many reasons why a menstrual cup may leak.
In fact we have written about it here in "6 Top Reasons Why Your Menstrual Cup Leaks"
If your current menstrual cup leaks because the diameter is insufficient for example, choosing a firmer cup of the same diameter would likely not make it leak less.
One way to know would be to observe when your cup leaks.
Does it leak during activity but seems fine other times?
Then a MeLuna Sport could be a great option for you!
