New Here? Meet the Ivy Cup
What is the Ivy Cup?
A reusable menstrual cup made for comfort, real protection, and periods you don’t have to think about.
What is it, exactly?
It’s a soft, medical-grade silicone cup that sits inside you and collects your flow instead of absorbing it, the way a pad or tampon does. No strings, no chemicals, no changing every few hours. One cup, worn for hours at a time, reused for years.
How it works
Fold it
Pick a fold, there’s more than one way that works.
Insert it
It sits low, well below the cervix, and pops open to form a seal.
Wear it
Up to 12 hours of leak-free protection, day or night.
Empty & reinsert
Rinse with water, or wipe and reinsert on the go.
First time takes a little practice. After that, it’s second nature.
Quick questions
Does it hurt?
No. Once it’s in place correctly, you shouldn’t feel it at all.
Is it messy?
Less than pads or tampons, actually. Empty it, rinse, reinsert.
How do I know my size?
Take our 2-minute size quiz, it factors in your flow, age, and birth history.
Will it leak?
Not when it’s properly sealed. Most people get the hang of it within a cycle or two.
Is it safe?
Yes. 100% medical-grade silicone, no BPA, no latex, no rubber.
Can I use it if I’ve never used a tampon?
Yes, plenty of first-time cup users have never used tampons either.
