Fair Squared Period Cup – Medium

The Fair Squared Period Cup Medium is a thoughtfully engineered menstrual cup designed for comfort, sustainability, and reliable performance. Crafted from 100 % natural latex sourced through fair‑trade agreements, this cup offers an eco‑friendly alternative to disposable products while delivering the convenience of a reusable solution.

Material & Sustainability Highlights

• Natural Latex Composition: Made entirely from high‑quality natural rubber, the cup is free from synthetic additives and chemicals that can irritate sensitive skin.
• Fair‑Trade Sourcing: The latex is harvested under fair‑trade conditions, ensuring ethical labor practices and community support in producing regions.
• Vegan & Zero‑Waste Design: No animal products are used, and the cup’s long lifespan eliminates single‑use waste, aligning with zero‑waste lifestyles.
• FSC Certified Wood Alternatives: While the cup itself is latex, packaging materials often incorporate FSC‑certified paper to further reduce environmental impact.

Design & Capacity Specifications

The Medium size is engineered for average flow periods. Key specifications include:

• Capacity: Approximately 12–13 ml, suitable for moderate menstrual flows.
• Dimensions: The cup’s diameter and height are calibrated to fit comfortably within the vaginal canal, providing a secure seal without excessive bulk.
• Shape & Flexibility: A gentle, bell‑shaped design allows easy insertion and removal while maintaining a flexible structure that adapts to body movements.
• Color & Finish: Natural latex color with a smooth finish enhances comfort and reduces friction during wear.

Usage Guide

1. Preparation: Wash hands thoroughly. Gently rinse the cup under lukewarm water to remove any protective coating.
2. Folding Technique: Use a “C‑fold” or “W‑fold” method to compress the cup into a small, manageable shape for insertion.
3. Insertion: Position the folded cup at the vaginal opening and gently push it in until it opens fully inside the canal. The cup should sit comfortably below the cervix.
4. Sealing & Comfort Check: Ensure the cup has sealed against the vaginal walls; a slight suction feeling indicates proper placement.
5. Emptying Schedule: For medium flow, empty every 4–6 hours. During heavier days, you may need to empty more frequently.
6. Removal & Cleaning: Pinch the base of the cup to release the seal, gently pull it out, and rinse with water. Avoid using soaps or detergents that can degrade latex.

Care & Maintenance

• Daily Rinse: After each use, rinse the cup with clean water to remove any residue.
• Periodic Sterilization: Boil the cup for 5–10 minutes once a week or after every menstrual cycle to eliminate bacteria and maintain hygiene.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not expose the cup to bleach, alcohol, or other harsh cleaning agents that can compromise latex integrity.
• Storage: Keep the cup in a breathable pouch when not in use. Avoid sealing it in plastic bags for extended periods.
• Replacement Timeline: Natural latex cups typically last 2–3 years with proper care; monitor for signs of wear such as cracks or loss of elasticity.

Benefits Over Conventional Products

• Cost‑Effective Long Term: After the initial purchase, no recurring expenses are required.
• Environmental Impact Reduction: Eliminates millions of disposable tampons and pads from landfills each year.
• Health & Comfort: The cup’s flexible material reduces irritation and eliminates exposure to chemicals found in many disposable products.
• Convenience: No need for frequent changes; the cup can be worn for extended periods, ideal for travel or overnight use.
