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.
Why should I get both sizes?
If you are new to cups, you may want to begin by trying the light/medium flow size as it is slightly smaller and softer. Once you are comfortable using it, you can try the heavy flow size which is larger and firmer. Many Asan cup users use the heavy flow size for the heavier days of their period, and then switch to the light/medium flow size for lighter days.
What comes in the box?
Your purchase includes two Asan cups (one for heavy flow and one for light/medium flow), two cloth storage pouches, two welcome cards and two illustrated user guides. 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, this 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.
