Femme République Disc Menstrual Cup Size L

This is a disc‑style menstrual cup made from medical‑grade silicone and sized L with a 50 ml capacity. Unlike a conventional stem cup, the flexible yet slightly firm ring and double anti‑leak rim let the device sit low in the vaginal canal — just below the cervix and braced against the pelvic bone — while a soft inner pouch collects the flow. The notable advantage is that it’s designed to be left in place during penetrative sex, giving you reusable, sustainable protection for up to 12 hours.

Technical Specifications

How to use

Fold the disc according to the manual, insert it so the ring rests low in the vaginal canal and the pouch sits under the cervix. The slightly rigid ring helps the cup open and anchor against the pelvic bone; you should do a quick comfort and seal check by gently tugging the ring. If you plan to have penetrative sex, leave it in place — its disc shape is made for that. If you have an IUD or any other intrauterine device, check with your clinician before use, as cups can affect strings in some cases.

Because the cup is made from silicone, use a water‑based lubricant if you need help inserting — avoid silicone‑based lubricants as these can affect the surface of silicone products.

Cleaning and care

Rinse with warm water and a mild, unscented soap between uses and follow the included manual for full sterilisation guidance. The silicone travel case keeps the cup clean when folded in your bag. Store dry and away from direct sunlight. The material is durable and intended for repeated use, but inspect the cup regularly for tears or changes in texture and replace if damaged.

Who it’s for: people comfortable with internal menstrual products who want a high‑capacity, low‑position option and the ability to have penetrative sex while wearing their menstrual product. It’s also a good pick if you value sustainability over disposables.

Who it’s not for: anyone who finds deep insertion uncomfortable, prefers external products, or wants a cup with a stem for easy removal. If you’re unsure because of an anatomical concern or recent childbirth, seek personalised advice from a healthcare professional.

For those wanting a high‑capacity, reusable disc cup that permits penetrative sex and long wear.

If we were chatting in the shop, I’d say this is a disc‑style menstrual cup made from medical‑grade silicone for people who want more discretion and flexibility than tampons or pads. Unlike a standard bell cup, this sits deeper — positioned below the cervix and supported by the pelvic bone — which is why the manufacturer designs it specifically to allow penetrative sex while worn. It’s light, reusable and rated for up to 12 hours of comfortable wear, with a 50 ml capacity in this size L.

Fold the disc according to the instructions and insert it so the rim sits low and the body of the disc opens beneath the cervix. Run a finger around the edge to check it’s properly positioned and seated against the pelvic bone; a correct fit should feel secure rather than painful. Empty and rinse as needed — the product is rated for up to 12 hours of wear, but you should check more often on heavier flow days.

Clean before first use and after each removal with warm water and a mild, fragrance‑free soap or a toy cleaner suitable for silicone. You can sterilise in boiling water for a few minutes if you prefer — follow the included manual for timing — then dry thoroughly before storing. Keep it in the supplied silicone case between cycles to protect it from dust. Inspect the rim and body regularly for signs of wear or damage.

For people seeking a reusable menstrual disc that allows penetrative sex and offers long wear (up to 12 hours).

Yes — this disc is designed to sit deeper than a conventional cup and to allow penetrative intercourse. Comfort will depend on positioning for you and your partner, so try a short trial at home first and adjust orientation if needed.

The manufacturer specifies up to 12 hours of wear, but if your flow is heavy check it every 4–6 hours to avoid reaching full capacity and potential leaks. Empty and rinse if the disc feels full or uncomfortable.

Size L is typically chosen by people with a heavier flow or those who find smaller cups uncomfortable. If you’re new to internal menstrual products and unsure about sizing, consider whether a smaller size might be easier to insert and remove.
