Intimina Lily Cup Size A

The Intimina Lily Cup Size A is a reusable menstrual cup engineered to make period care cleaner, greener, and more comfortable. Its signature design rolls as thin as a tampon, so insertion feels familiar even for first-time cup users. Once placed, a slanted body and spill-proof rim conform to the body's natural curves and create a reliable seal that holds up through swimming, exercise, and an active day—offering up to 12 hours of continuous protection regardless of flow intensity. Made from hypoallergenic, medical-grade silicone, it collects menstrual flow without absorbing moisture or causing the dryness and irritation sometimes linked to disposable products, and because silicone is non-absorbent it won't disturb vaginal pH or flora. At 28 ml capacity it suits medium to heavy flows, and its longer build makes it an especially good match for people with higher cervix positions.

Intensity & Experience Level

Level: Beginner (with a short learning curve) | Sensation tag: Internal / pressure-free wear

The Lily Cup A is one of the more forgiving menstrual cups on the market thanks to its soft, flexible silicone and tampon-like roll fold—making it accessible to first-time cup users. That said, confident placement and removal require a few practice cycles, so new users should allow themselves time to learn the technique before relying on it for a full day out.

Who is this product for?

• First-time menstrual cup users: The tampon-thin fold and soft silicone reduce the intimidation factor for anyone switching from disposables.
• People with medium to heavy flow: The 28 ml high-capacity design provides up to 12 hours of leak-free protection even on heavier days.
• Environmentally conscious users: Those looking to reduce plastic waste and move away from single-use pads and tampons.
• People with a higher cervix: The longer build and slanted design create a secure fit for anatomies where shorter cups may sit uncomfortably low.
• Active individuals: Swimmers, athletes, and anyone with a busy lifestyle who needs reliable, movement-proof period protection.

How to use the Intimina Lily Cup Size A?

1. Sterilize before first use: Boil the cup in water for 5–8 minutes and allow it to cool completely before use.
2. Fold the cup: Use the tampon-like roll fold, or try a C-fold or punch-down fold to make insertion easier.
3. Find a comfortable position: Sit on the toilet, squat, or place one leg on the edge of the bathtub to relax the pelvic floor and open up the insertion angle.
4. Insert gently: Guide the folded cup angled toward your tailbone until it sits comfortably inside the vaginal canal.
5. Confirm the seal: The cup should spring open fully. Rotate it slightly or run a finger around the base to check it has unfolded and formed a seal—this is your comfort checkpoint.
6. Wear for up to 12 hours: Empty before the 12-hour mark, or sooner on heavier days.
7. Remove carefully: Pinch the base of the cup firmly to break the seal, then gently pull it out keeping it upright to avoid spills. Empty, rinse, and reinsert or store.

Techniques & ways to play

• Roll fold (solo beginner): Roll the cup lengthwise tampon-style for the narrowest insertion point—ideal when learning.
• Punch-down fold (solo advanced): Creates a firm tip that pops open reliably once inserted; good once you're comfortable with placement.
• Shower squat removal: Squatting in the shower gives a clear angle and easy cleanup—great for messier flow days.
• Toilet position: Sitting on the toilet is the most accessible position for both insertion and removal at any experience level.
• One-leg-raised position: Resting one foot on the bath edge tilts the pelvis and can make finding the correct angle much easier for new users.

Pairs well with / Complete the scene

• Water-based lubricant: A small amount eases insertion, especially when learning—required if silicone feels resistant.
• Menstrual cup cleanser: A fragrance-free, purpose-formulated wash keeps the cup hygienic between uses without degrading the silicone.
• Steam sterilizer: Speeds up deep-cleaning between cycles alongside or instead of boiling.
• Breathable storage pouch: Included with the cup—essential for safe between-cycle storage.
• Intimina menstrual care collection: Explore other Intimina cup sizes and accessories for a complete period care kit.

How to clean and care

• After each use: Rinse with cold water first to prevent staining, then wash thoroughly with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap or dedicated menstrual cup cleanser.
• Deep clean: Boil in water for 5–8 minutes at the start and end of each cycle, or use a steam sterilizer.
• Lubricant compatibility: Water-based lubricants only. Avoid oil-based and silicone-based lubricants, as they can degrade medical-grade silicone over time.
• Drying: Allow to air-dry fully before storing.
• Storage: Keep in the included breathable pouch in a cool, dry place. Never store in an airtight container, as silicone needs airflow to stay hygienic between cycles.

Additional information

• Versatility: Suitable for light to heavy flows and fully compatible with swimming, exercise, and active daily routines.
• Odor reduction: Because the cup limits exposure to air, menstrual odor is typically minimized compared to disposable products.
• pH support: Non-absorbent silicone does not disrupt vaginal flora or pH balance the way absorbent tampons can.
• Postpartum note: Size A is recommended only for cesarean births. Those who have given birth vaginally should consider a larger size for a better fit.
• Accessibility: The soft silicone body and flexible stem are designed to be reachable for most anatomies, though some finger dexterity is required for confident insertion and removal.

Special considerations / warnings

• Insertion discomfort: If insertion feels uncomfortable, try a different fold technique or briefly warm the silicone under warm water to increase flexibility.
• Dexterity requirement: Effective use requires sufficient finger flexibility to fold, insert, rotate, and pinch-remove the cup—this may be challenging for some users.
• Anatomical awareness: Users should be familiar with their internal anatomy and cervix position to place the cup correctly.
• Learning curve: It is completely normal to need several cycles before insertion, placement, and removal feel natural and reliable.
• Lubricant restriction: Use only water-based lubricants. Silicone- or oil-based products will degrade the cup's material over time.
• Not for sexual activity: This product is a menstrual management device and is not intended for use during penetrative sexual activity.
• Medical flag: If you have an IUD, a retroverted uterus, or any pelvic health condition, consult a healthcare provider before use to confirm suitability.
• 18+ only. For consensual adult use.
