Help Me ChooseFAQ - Top 3 Commonly Asked
My cup is stuck - help!?
Stay calm & breathe! Your Zero cup is held in place by your vaginal muscles - if you are panicked and tense, it will be more difficult to remove.
You can take comfort in knowing that it is not possible for your Zero cup to get "lost" inside you. With this in mind, if you cannot reach your menstrual cup, you can do a number of things to help ease your Zero cup down.
Firstly, ensure you are position in a comfortable seated or squatting position. Next, use your vagina muscles to "push down" your Zero cup: a sequence of slow and gentle pushes will help to ease the cup lower.
You should now be able to feel the stem or the base of your menstrual cup. Pinch the base of the cup in order to release the light suction seal. Slowly rock the cup from side to side to help ease it out in its upright position.
Help - I'm leaking!
You may experience leaking if your Zero menstrual cup is not worn correctly. It must be positioned as low as possible in the vagina for it to effectively collect your menstrual fluid.
Once you have perfected the positioning of your menstrual cup, you should ensure that a suction seal has formed between your Zero cup and your vaginal walls. This can be checked in a number of ways:
Pinching the base of the your Zero menstrual cup (not the stem) and rotating it a few times to ensure the seal has formed.Clenching your vaginal muscles a few times will help to position your menstrual cup correctly.Running a clean index finger around the rim of your Zero menstrual cup to ensure it is fully open and that your cervix is positioned within the cup.
Finally, ensure you are wearing the correct size Zero cup. If it is too small, you may experience leakage. If you are still leaking after three cycles, please contact us for further assistance.
What makes Zero different than a tampon?
Zero menstrual cups work by collecting your menstrual fluid rather than absorbing it like a tampon would.
Did you know one tampon holds about 5ml of blood, whereas even the S model Zero holds up to 20ml. That's four times as much fluid collected by your Zero cup than one regular tampon. Therefore, instead of changing your tampon every 4-6 hours (per user guidelines), you can simply empty your Zero cup every 12 hours.
Zero cup is a reusable and eco-friendly item that promotes zero waste, and unlike tampons or pads, Zero is free from any toxins or additives such as bleach, fragrance, or acetone.
If you consider that within one year, you'll have had 12 periods (on average), you can work out that Zero will cost you less than £1.50 a month. A box of 32 tampons costs £2.70 on average, so you will certainly have offset the initial cost, and made a saving!
