Can I wear Talisi menstrual cups to bed?
Absolutely,
yes! You can definitely wear Talisi menstrual cups to bed. Talisi cups are safe
for all-day and all-night use. The only thing you need to do is to remember to
empty your cups after 10-12 hours of wearing it.
Some may
worry if the cup won’t spill its contents if they lie on their backs or side.
To answer this, please recall that Talisi menstrual cups create a vacuum seal
which completely seals off the region below the cervix from the rest of the
vagina. (Insert image if possible).
This means
that the blood accumulated there won’t leak out. Here are some steps you can
take to ensure you sleep soundly, without worrying about leaks or stains.
- Empty and replace your cup right
before bedtime: Emptying and replacing your cup right before bedtime makes you
feel refreshed and guarantees a longer and sound sleep. Doing this also gives
you more hours of sleep, without the worry of waking up too soon to empty and
replace your cup.
- Ensure your cup is properly worn:
First, purchase a cup that is the right size for you. Remember to bear down (as
if trying to contract/tense your abdominal muscles while squeezing your pelvic
floor muscles - like you would do when moving your bowel) after inserting the
cup to help create the suction seal. Also run your hands across the sides of
the cup to ensure it is smooth and that it has no folds anywhere.
- Set an alarm to wake you up if you
need to empty your cup during the night: If it takes about 8 hours or less for
your cup to need emptying and replacement, you can set an alarm to wake you up
so you can empty your cup and head back to bed.
