Thoroughly wash your hands with soap
and water before using your Lily Cup™.
Getting started
Before rst use, fully submerge your Lily
Cup™in boiling water for 5 to 8 minutes.
Learning to use your Lily Cup™will take some practice at rst, but with
repeated use it will become easier and more comfortable. It is important to
thoroughly clean your Lily Cup™before and after each use (for details see
section ‘Cleaning and care’ on p15).

As you would with a tampon, angle your
cup towards your tailbone and insert it
upwards until the stem is inside. On the
Lily Cup™the tall rim of the cup should
be situated towards your back.
How to insert
Sit in a slight squatting position and relax your vaginal muscles. If necessary,
apply some water-based lubricant to the vaginal opening for added comfort.
Option 1 Option 2
TamponLily Cup™
The Lily Cup™is held in a lower
position than a tampon. The end of the
stem should sit approximately 1.5 cm
(0.6 in.) above your vaginal opening.

Avoiding leaks
No matter your folding technique, it is extremely important to make sure
that the top of your cup completely opens once you have inserted it. Gently
squeeze the base of the cup (not the stem) to open it inside your body.
In order to avoid spotting, be sure to form a seal between your body and
your Lily Cup™.
There are many ways to ensure that a seal is formed:
• Rotate the cup slightly left and right
• Wiggle the cup up and down, back and forth
• Run your finger around the cup to confirm it’s open
• Lightly pull down on the cup. If it doesn’t move, the seal is formed

ENGLISH •11
How to remove and empty
You can wear your Lily Cup, Lily Cup Compact or Lily Cup One for up to 12
hours, and we recommend that you empty your cup 2-3 times per 24 hour
period. Depending on your menstrual ow, you will become more familiar with
how often you personally need to empty your cup.
To remove, wash your hands and sit in a slight squatting position, i.e. over
the toilet.
Relax your body and use your vaginal muscles to
gently push the cup down and grip the stem to
slowly pull downwards.
Once you can feel the base of the cup softly
squeeze the base to release the seal. If you have
difficulty releasing the seal, gently shift the cup
from side to side.

•
ENGLISH
12
Gently pull the stem downwards and when you
feel that the base is almost out, angle it slightly
to avoid any spilling.
What should you do if you have difficulty removing your Lily Cup™ ?
Remain calm if you cannot remove your cup—it is common to have a little
initial difculty with removal. In a slight squatting position, use a series of
gentle, downward pushes with your vaginal muscles to move the cup lower.
Follow the removal instructions and relax your body as it will help to ease
the process.
If you have any further concerns always contact your medical practitioner.
Discard your menstrual fluid into the toilet, wash your cup, and reinsert (see
‘Cleaning and care’ on p15). If it is not possible to clean your cup, you may
reinsert it without washing as long as your hands are clean.

How do you know your correct Lily Cup™size?
Since a woman’s body undergoes many changes during life, the Lily Cup™is
available in two different sizes (except for Lily Cup™One which is available in
one size). The Lily Cup™is designed for maximum comfort and should not be
felt when worn. If you feel any discomfort, you may need to change your size.
Change your size if:
•
•
•
You are using a size A and feel that your cup is not securely collecting your
menstrual ow and/or experience continual spotting, then change to size B.
You are using a size B and nd it difcult to insert and/or feel any discomfort
during use, then change to size A.
If you nd Lily Cup™a bit long you may nd Lily Cup™ Compact a better
t for you.

Cleaning and care
Cleaning and storing your Lily Cup™properly will ensure that it lasts for a
number of years. Replace your cup if you notice any cuts, punctures, or a
sticky/oily lm forming on the silicone. Slight discoloration is normal and may
occur over time. This will not affect the function or safety of the Lily Cup™.
First Use
Regular Use
Fully submerge your Lily Cup™in boiling water for 5 to 8
minutes. Do not boil dry.
Wash your Lily Cup™before and after each use with either
mild soap and hot water or a purpose made cleaner. Rinse
thoroughly to remove any soap or cleaner residue as this
may later cause irritation. For a more thorough cleaning, boil
your cup as frequently as you like. If you have no access
to water (in a public bathroom) just empty, wipe your cup
out with tissue and reinsert. You can wash it at the next
convenient time.

substances, tea tree oil, alcohol, or bleach to clean your Lily Cup™.

Toxic Shock Syndrome
TSS is a rare but serious disease that may be fatal and has been linked
to high absorbency and prolonged use of tampons. Symptoms can include
sudden high fever, vomiting, diarrhoea, dizziness, fainting, and a rash like
sunburn. If you have any of these signs while using Lily Cup™, remove it and
contact your doctor immediately. Women who have experienced toxic shock
syndrome should not use any form of internal protection, including menstrual
cups. Lily Cup™ is intended for use during menstruation only. Make sure to
clean your hands and your cup thoroughly before and after each use, with
warm water and soap.
