About Flow Cup

What is the Flow Cup?

Flow Cup is a menstrual cup made from 100% medical grade silicone that is free from toxins, dyes, bleaches and fragrances. It is inserted like a tampon but rather than absorbing your menstrual fluid it collects it. 

Depending on the heaviness of your flow, Flow Cup can be used for up to 12 hours before having to empty it. It can be reusable for up to 10 years and provides a convenient, eco-friendly and affordable period product. 

What are the benefits of using Flow Cup? 

  • Eco-friendly: Flow Cup can be re-used for up to 10 years.

Care & Storage Instructions

How do I clean my Flow Cup?

Your cup must be disinfected before storing each month. You should clean your cup by rinsing with water then boiling it in a pot or pan of water for 3 minutes. Ensure there is enough water so the cup does not touch the bottom of the pot. After boiling, wait until your cup is cool and dry to store in the cotton bag that came with your Flow Cup.

How do I store my Flow Cup? 

You should store your cup in the cotton bag that came with your Flow Cup. This cotton provides a breathable environment so many moisture can dry and evaporate. You can wash this storage bag through a delicate cycle or by hand when necessary.
