What? You may be thinking, how is it possible that a cup that goes inside my body not carry disease, infections, certainly TSS? But guess what ladies, the answer is none of the above. Luv Ur Body Menstrual Cups carry zero disease, have no risk of infection and certainly will not cause TSS.
Because the menstrual cup
captures fluid rather than absorbs it — there is no connection to Toxic
Shock Syndrome (TSS), disease, infections or cancer.
There are a number of questions that women may have before purchasing Menstrual Cups. At the top of most people’s mind will be safety. Is this product really safe? The answer is, YES absolutely! As mentioned, the Luv Ur Body Menstrual Cup is made with quality medical grade silicone approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of the United States and this material has already been introduced, accepted, and rated by medical professionals for decades.
There has never been a case of TSS linked to Menstrual Cups usage since 1932. When you compare the menstrual cup to tampons not only do you eliminate the threat of TSS, but there is also a reduced concern about the product becoming lodged in the vaginal cavity due to over absorption causing infection.
Pads and tampons are made from strong industrial bleaches used to whiten the material. These bleaches contain cancer causing dioxins.
The Luv Ur Body menstrual cup offers a number of advantages that are simply not available with any other menstrual product. Safe, comfortable, and reliable the menstrual cup is a terrific option for women today.

A menstrual cup may not be sealed properly if its slightly dented or not fully ballooned open on insertion. You can check to see if its fully opened by inserting a forefinger into the vaginal canal & reaching up towards the rim of the Cup & gently feeling around to see if its dented or still folded.
If there are signs of spotting after insertion, follow these simple steps to create a "leak proof suction" & to ensure the menstrual cup is properly ballooned & "sealed" after insertion.
For the cup not to leak, its important to ensure the cervix is INSIDE the cup. The cervix feels like the pointed tip of your nose or thumb & forefinger pressed together with that dent in between them.
It is located at a 45 degrees angle towards the base of the spine (your tail bone). So the cup should be pushed towards the base of the spine & not straight up towards one's head because straight up is not the normal direction of any woman's vaginal canal. It may help to first insert your forefinger & locate the exact position of your cervix so that in your mind's eye you know exactly where it is & which direction you should be pushing the cup towards.
1) The cup needs to be gently turned clockwise or counter-clockwise inside the vaginal canal or moved around gently by grabbing hold of the base or mid section of cup. It could also be slightly pulled out & re-inserted such that it can suck in air & fully balloon open.
2) Another helpful tip is to insert the thumb & forefinger in on either side of the cup & push back gently against the vaginal walls to create space/air that the cup can suck up & fully open. The push back should be high up near the rim & possible.
3) Try to swirl your finger around the cup to remove any excess blood left in the vagina from spotting & wipe or preferably rinse off blood left on the labia after the steps above to accurately ascertain if the cup is still not sealed & causing the leaks.

One of the exciting perks of switching to the menstrual cup is that it allows you to forget that you are on your period entirely. The menstrual cup can safely be worn for up to 12 hours, which means you can go through an entire day without worrying about changing your pad or trying to calculate how many hours you’ve worn your tampon.
Pads should be changed every 4-5 hours or every 2-3 hours if the flow is extremely heavy, and if you do not change it frequently enough you can get a yeast infection. Tampons can safely be worn for 8 hours, but if you plan to sleep for longer than that, tampons can become dangerous. Toxic Shock Syndrome is not a myth! Toxic Shock Syndrome is caused by excessive tampon use and can result in fever, vomiting, fainting, and even death. In addition to being safe to wear for longer durations than pads or tampons, the menstrual cup has a much higher capacity than even the most super absorbent tampon out there! A super absorbency tampon can hold 12- 15 ml and can only be worn for 8 hours, while the menstrual cup holds 18+ ml and can be worn for 12 hours safely. The menstrual cup is the obvious winner if you want to stop worrying about bleeding through your clothes and constantly changing your tampon.
