Do menstrual cups leak? Tips and tricks to prevent leaks and how to use them comfortably
Menstrual cups are sanitary products that are inserted into the vagina. Recently, they have started appearing in drugstores, so you've probably heard of them and seen them in person more often than before. One of the most common questions people ask about menstrual cups is "leakage." Leaking menstrual blood is something you want to avoid with any sanitary product. However, it's impossible to say with 100% certainty that menstrual cups will not leak, regardless of who you are. On the other hand, when we say "leakage," we mean a trickle of fluid leaking, and if the cup is inserted correctly and fits snugly, and isn't nearly full, it's rare for it to leak heavily.
Even if the same person uses it in the same way, there are times when there is no leakage and times when there is a little leakage. In this article, we will explain the reasons why Murmo menstrual cups may leak and give tips on how to prevent leakage.
Possible reasons for the leak
1. Menstrual cup not fitted correctly
2. The menstrual cup is almost full
3. The size or shape of the menstrual cup doesn't fit your body
1. The menstrual cup is not inserted correctly. This happens when the menstrual cup is not open, positioned correctly, or fits properly inside the vagina.
2. The menstrual cup is full There is an air hole at the top of the menstrual cup, and if menstrual blood accumulates up to the level of this hole, it is likely to leak. If menstrual blood starts leaking after a few hours, it is likely that the cup is full, so remove it, wash it, and then reinsert it.
3. The size or shape of the menstrual cup is not suitable for your body. The shape of the vagina is different for each individual, so if you have a heavy flow and leak, try using a Murmo menstrual cup after getting used to putting on and taking off and using the menstrual cup, which may make your period more comfortable by trying a larger size menstrual cup.
The murmo menstrual cup is designed to be easy to put on and take off, with a focus on making it easy for first-time users to use without any setbacks. As such, it has a slightly slimmer shape, is made of softer material, and has a slightly smaller medium capacity.
Tips to prevent leaks
1. Open the menstrual cup inside
2. Wear it in the correct position
3. After insertion, as a finishing touch, wipe your vulva with toilet paper.
4. Increase frequency of replacement
1. Open the menstrual cup insideThe trick to opening a menstrual cup inside your vagina is to pinch both sides of the bottom of the cup that is sticking out when the cup is about two-thirds inside and push out the folded part.When you do this, if you hear a small "pushing" sound as air escapes, it is likely that the cup has opened.
2. Wear it in the correct position
After opening it as in step 1, rotate the stem (the rod at the bottom) several times. This will fine-tune the cup so that it fits better against the walls of your vagina. From this position, slowly push the cup all the way in. If it goes all the way in and there is no discomfort at the entrance of your vagina, then it's fine. If you feel like the bottom of the menstrual cup is stuck at the entrance of your vagina, it's too low, so push the cup all the way in.
3. After inserting, as a finishing touch, wipe your vulva with toilet paper. This will remove any menstrual blood around the area first, preventing it from getting on your underwear.
4. Replace your menstrual cup more frequently: If your menstrual cup starts leaking after a while of wearing it, it's likely that your menstrual blood has filled up beyond the air hole. In this case, we recommend removing the menstrual cup, discarding the blood, washing the cup, and then reinserting it.
How to stay comfortable without leaking onto your clothes even if your menstrual cup leaks
Combining it with other sanitary items: Combining it with other sanitary products such as thin panty liners or napkins, or sanitary items such as absorbent shorts, will make your period more comfortable. Since you'll be wearing pants anyway, you can also try switching to absorbent shorts.
The amount of menstrual blood varies from day to day, so we recommend trying different items depending on the amount of menstrual blood you have, and finding a way to manage it that suits you.
