Menstrual Cups & Period Care for Sustainable Comfort

Everything You Need to Know About Menstrual Cups

Menstrual cups are flexible, bell-shaped period care devices made from body-safe silicone that collect menstrual flow internally. Unlike tampons, they do not absorb — they collect — which reduces dryness and odor. A properly fitted menstrual cup like the Lena Cup can be worn up to 12 hours. Period care with cups is eco-friendly, cost-effective and increasingly popular across Canada.

How to Choose the Right Menstrual Cup Size

Most brands including Lena Cup offer two sizes: smaller for lighter flow, younger users or lower cervix; larger for heavy flow or postpartum. Consider your age, flow level and whether you have given birth. Lena Cup sizing guides on product pages help you decide. When in doubt, many beginners start with the smaller size.

Menstrual Cups vs Tampons and Pads

Menstrual cups are reusable for years, producing far less waste than tampons or pads. They hold more fluid than tampons, meaning fewer changes. Period care with cups has a higher upfront cost but lower lifetime expense. Cups do require cleaning and sterilizing between cycles — a small trade-off for sustainability.

Cleaning and Sterilizing Your Menstrual Cup

Rinse your menstrual cup with water during your cycle. Between cycles, boil in water for 5–10 minutes or use a dedicated sterilizing cup. Store in a breathable cotton pouch — never sealed airtight while damp. Use cup-safe cleansers only; avoid harsh soaps that degrade silicone. Proper period care hygiene keeps your Lena Cup safe for years.
