FAQs
How do menstrual cups work?
A menstrual cup is a bell-shaped device that collects period flow. Fold your cup in half and insert into your vagina. Your cup will pop open and form a leak-proof seal. You can wear your cup for up to 12 hours. To remove, locate your cup using the removal ring, then pinch to break the seal and wiggle your cup out. You can wash your cup and re-use it straight away.
Is the Asan cup safe to use?
Yes, it is extremely safe. The Asan cup is made from USP Class VI silicone, which is the same material used in heart stents. It is biocompatible and does not contain plastics, toxins, BPAs or harmful chemicals. We have a patent for our design and follow strict quality standards.
Can the Asan cup get stuck?
No, the Asan cup cannot get lost or stuck inside you. The vaginal canal ends in the cervix, and a menstrual cup cannot go above this point. Asan's unique ring design makes it very easy to locate the cup - simply guide two fingers into your vagina and pull on the ring to bring your cup downwards. You can then pinch it to break the seal.
What comes in the box?
Your purchase includes an Asan cup, cloth storage pouches, a welcome card and an illustrated user guide. Our packaging is plastic-free and 95% recyclable.
Is the Asan cup worth the price?
The average UK woman spends over £100 on period products per year. By contrast, the Asan cup is a one-time purchase of just £25. Our innovative design is easier to use than traditional menstrual cups. We use the world's highest quality silicone to ensure a safe and durable product that will truly last up to 10 years.
Can I return the product?
As this is a hygiene product, we do not accept refunds or returns. However, if you’ve tried an Asan cup for 90 days and are unhappy with the size, we can offer you a free size replacement.
