Intimina Lily Cup Menstrual Cup Size B

The Intimina Lily Cup is a reusable silicone menstrual cup with an angled shape that follows your anatomy and a slanted, no-spill rim. It's made for people with a higher cervix or a heavier flow, and it can be worn for up to 8 hours. This is size B, the larger of Intimina's two Lily Cup sizes.

What sets the Lily Cup apart

Most menstrual cups are symmetrical bells. The Lily Cup is angled, with a slanted rim, so it follows the natural tilt of the vaginal canal rather than sitting straight up. Intimina says it's the only cup that can be rolled as thin as a tampon, which helps with insertion if you find folded cups bulky. It's also long, so it suits people with a higher cervix who find shorter cups hard to reach, and Intimina says it covers everything from the lightest to the heaviest flow.

Choosing size B

The Lily Cup comes in two sizes, A and B. Intimina's size guide is the place to check which suits you, since the right fit depends on your body and history; Intimina generally points people who have given birth vaginally toward size B. If you're between sizes or unsure, compare both on the guide before buying.

Inserting and removing it

Wash your hands. Roll the cup tightly from the rim, or use a fold you're comfortable with, and insert it angled back toward your tailbone rather than straight up. Once it's inside, let it open and run a finger around the rim to check it has sealed. To remove it, bear down gently, pull the stem until you can reach the base, then pinch the base to release the seal and ease it out upright so it doesn't spill. Empty, rinse and reinsert. Intimina rates it for up to 8 hours at a time; empty it sooner on heavy days.

Care between periods

Rinse with cold water first, then wash with warm water and a mild, unscented soap. At the end of each cycle, follow the cleaning instructions in the box, which typically include boiling, then dry the cup and store it in a breathable pouch rather than an airtight container.
