What→ The perfect, easy-to-use transition from tampons. For average-to-shorter cervix heights and lighter flows. You can measure your cervix by inserting a clean index finger into your vagina. Keep moving until the tip of your finger is touching your cervix. You’ll be able to distinguish your cervix from the rest of your vagina, as the tissue is a little bit firmer than your vaginal walls. If you can only get the first knuckle of your finger in then you have a very low-short cervix height. If you can get the second knuckle in then you have a medium-average cervix height.
Why→ Safe, flexible and comfortable to wear while sleeping, exercising and underwater, it offers longer wear than tampons with up to 12 hours’ wear at a time—a great beginner’s option to give you peace of mind if timekeeping isn’t your forte.
How→ The unique detachable ribbon makes removal a breeze while being flexible and comfy; the wave grip ridges aid insertion and removal; and the no-spill rim keeps the contents in the cup.
The boring bits→ Before first use and after each period…
Sterilise your Coralcone by boiling it in water for 5 minutes or soak it in a sterilising solution (follow the manufacturer’s instructions). Make sure you sterilise both the cup and the silicone ribbon—you can separate them if you want to ensure a thorough clean!
During your period…
→ Empty your cup 2 or 3 times a day (at least every 12 hours, optimally every 8), depending on the heaviness of flow.
→ If you drop your Coralcone on the floor or in the toilet bowl, wash and sterilise it again before you use it
→ Do not use if you have a vaginal abrasion
→ If you experience any pain, burning, irritation, inflammation, or discomfort urinating, remove and contact your doctor
→ Check with your doctor before using if you have an IUD/IUS or any known gynaecological condition
