Femme République Menstrual Cup Size S

This is a disc‑style menstrual cup made from medical silicone, designed as an alternative to tampons and pads. Unlike a conventional bell‑shaped cup, the disc sits deep in the vagina, just beneath the cervix and resting on the pelvic bone. That placement — together with a slightly rigid, flexible ring and a double rim — is what lets this model remain secure during everyday movement and permits penetrative sex while worn.

Product specs

How to use

Fold the disc according to the leaflet and insert so it sits deep under the cervix; the ring should open and sit against the vaginal walls with the rim forming a seal. Because this model sits deeper than a conventional cup, it can take a couple of tries to find the most comfortable fold and angle — the manual inside the box explains recommended folds. The slightly firmer ring gives stability but may feel different from softer cups, especially during initial positioning.

Tip on lubricants: as this is medical silicone, use a water‑based lubricant for easier insertion. Avoid silicone‑based lubes as they can affect the surface of silicone products.

Cleaning and care

Wash after each use with warm water and a mild, unscented soap. The product comes with care instructions — follow them for any longer‑term sterilisation recommendations. When travelling, store the folded cup in the supplied silicone case to keep it clean. Inspect the rim and body regularly for wear and replace the cup if the silicone shows damage.

Who this is for: users who want a reusable, low‑profile menstrual solution that allows penetrative sex and provides up to 12 hours of wear. Who this isn't for: anyone uncomfortable with deep internal placement, or those who prefer a stemmed/bell cup to feel for removal more easily. If you have a heavy flow and need higher capacity, consider a larger size or a conventional cup with greater capacity.

For those who want a low‑profile, reusable disc cup that allows penetrative sex and suits lighter flows.

This is a disc-shaped menstrual cup made from 100% medical-grade silicone that sits deeper in the vaginal canal, resting on the pelvic bone rather than higher in the vaginal vault. The design includes a slightly rigid but flexible ring and a double rim intended to reduce leaks, plus an internal 'sack' that holds the flow. The distinctive point here is that the disc format is intended to allow penetrative sex while worn — useful if that's something you want to do during your period.

Fold the disc as described in the manual and ease it in so the ring sits below the cervix and the sack faces upward to collect flow. The slightly rigid ring helps the cup stay in place against the vaginal walls; you shouldn’t need to grip a stem to keep it positioned. To remove, hook a finger around the ring or press gently to release suction and slide it out slowly. Because capacity is 30 ml, empty it more often on heavier days — the manufacturer states up to 12 hours of comfort but your personal flow will determine exact timings.

Tip on lubricants: this product is made of silicone, so use only water-based lubricants if you need extra slip. Avoid silicone-based lubes, as they can affect the surface of silicone items over time.

Wash with warm water and mild, fragrance-free soap after each use. Medical-grade silicone can usually be sterilised by boiling briefly, but follow the included instruction manual for the manufacturer’s recommended method. Store folded inside the supplied silicone case to keep it clean between uses.

Who this suits: people who want a low-profile cup and those who specifically want the option of penetrative sex while wearing a menstrual product. Who it may not suit: anyone who prefers a traditional bell-shaped cup, those with a very heavy flow who need a larger capacity, or users who find deep placement uncomfortable. If you have particular medical concerns or an unusual pelvic anatomy, check with a healthcare professional first.

For people who want a low-profile menstrual cup and want to have penetrative sex during their period.

The disc format stands apart from conventional bell cups because it’s designed to sit deeper and allow penetrative sex; that makes it a good choice for users seeking that function. Best suited to intermediate users comfortable with a deeper fit rather than absolute beginners.

Yes — the disc design is intended to allow penetration. You and your partner may still notice the presence of the cup depending on anatomy; check the fit beforehand and stop if either of you feels uncomfortable.

The manufacturer specifies up to 12 hours of wear, but capacity is 30 ml. On lighter days you may comfortably go the full 12 hours; on heavier days you’ll need to empty it more frequently to avoid overflow.

Use a water-based lubricant only. Silicone-based lubricants can degrade silicone products and reduce their lifespan.

Because it sits low and rests on the pelvic bone, many users report they don’t feel it after a short adjustment period. The ring is slightly rigid to hold position, so initial awareness while you get used to it is normal.

This is a disc-shaped menstrual cup in medical-grade silicone that sits low in the vaginal canal, just beneath the cervix and supported by the pelvic bone. Unlike conventional bell cups, this model’s disc design and slightly rigid yet flexible ring are made so it can be worn during penetrative sex. The inner ‘sack’ catches and holds flow, giving up to 12 hours of wear and a 30 ml capacity — a good match for light to moderate flow.

Fold the disc according to the manual (common folds include a C- or taco-style fold) and insert it so the ring sits low, immediately beneath the cervix and supported by the pelvic bone. Once in place the double rim and internal sac should form a secure catch for menstrual flow. If you plan to have penetrative sex, the disc shape is specifically designed to allow intercourse while worn — however some partners may feel the ring depending on anatomy and position. To remove, relax, hook a finger to break the seal and gently pull the rim downwards.

Rinse after emptying and wash with warm water and a mild, unscented soap. Between cycles you can sterilise by boiling for a few minutes if you prefer — check the included manual for the manufacturer’s exact guidance. Dry thoroughly and store in the supplied silicone case when not in use. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to keep the silicone in good condition.

For anyone wanting to wear a reusable disc cup that permits penetrative sex and suits light-to-moderate flow.

This disc-style cup stands out because it’s designed for penetrative sex — a clear difference from most bell-shaped cups. With a 30 ml capacity and size S, it suits beginners or those with lighter flows who want a reusable option for intercourse; skill level: beginner to intermediate.

Some partners may notice the ring, especially in shallower positions, but because the disc sits deep under the cervix it’s often less noticeable than other internal devices. Try positions where depth of penetration is greater to reduce awareness.

If you have an IUD, check with your healthcare provider before using any internal menstrual device. When removing the cup be gentle and break the seal first — abrupt pulling could, in rare cases, affect an IUD.

You can remove it whenever you choose by relaxing, inserting a finger, pinching or tugging the rim to release the seal and gently pulling down. If you prefer not to remove during sex, it can be left in place for up to 12 hours as long as hygiene is maintained.
