Sleeping with a menstrual cup

Sleeping comfortably with a menstrual cup overnight

Sleep through the night with a menstrual cup

Sleeping well during your period can be difficult, especially with heavy bleeding. One of the most appreciated benefits of a menstrual cup is being able to sleep undisturbed through the night.

How to use it at night

Empty and insert the cup before bed. When properly positioned, you won't feel it at all. The cup can stay in for up to 12 hours and holds significantly more than a tampon.

For beginners

If you're new to cups, we recommend waiting 2–3 cycles before sleeping with one, so you can master the technique first.

Positioning

If the cup feels uncomfortable lying down, try reinserting it. Proper placement eliminates all discomfort.

Hygiene

Always wash your hands before handling the cup. Boil before use after extended breaks.

The freedom to sleep undisturbed

Once you've mastered the technique, you'll quickly notice how much easier the cup makes nighttime. No worrying about leaks, whether at home or away.
