Liebe Menstrual Cup Large – Medical Silicone

This is a large menstrual cup from Liebe made in medical‑grade silicone and built to be a long‑lasting replacement for disposable pads and tampons. It collects—not absorbs—your flow and can be worn for extended periods (manufacturer guidance is up to 12 hours depending on flow). The main selling points are higher capacity, suitability for allergy sufferers, and a lifespan rated up to 15 years when cared for correctly.

Technical details

How to use

Fold the cup and insert it into the vagina so it sits below the cervix and opens to form a seal against the vaginal walls. A common and simple fold is the C‑fold (press the rim flat, fold into a C) or a punch‑down fold for a smaller insertion profile. Once inserted you should not feel it; a poor fit will cause slipping or leaks, in which case try a different angle or empty and reinsert.

Because it collects flow rather than absorbing it, you will need to empty it more often on heavier days — the manufacturer recommends a maximum of 12 hours, but you may find you empty it sooner during your heaviest flow. As the cup is silicone, use only a water‑based lubricant if you need extra slip for insertion.

Cleaning and care

Rinse the cup after emptying and wash with a mild, fragrance‑free soap. Between cycles sterilise by boiling in water as instructed, then dry and store in the supplied cotton pouch. Inspect the cup regularly for discoloration, tears or stickiness; these signs mean it’s time to replace. With proper care Liebe rates the cup for up to 15 years of use, and many users recoup the purchase cost within a few months compared with disposables.

Additional practical notes: the cup does not shed fibres like tampons, won’t scratch or dry the vaginal walls, and is suitable for people with sensitivities to common menstrual product materials. It’s an ecological option that reduces single‑use waste.
