Liebe Small Menstrual Cup 15 ml

This is the Liebe Small Menstrual Cup, made from medical-grade silicone and sized for people under 30 who haven’t had a vaginal birth. It’s a reusable collection cup with a 15ml capacity — that’s a fairly small cup, so it’s best for light to moderate flow or for anyone who prefers a lower-profile option. The cup sits inside the vagina, forms a gentle seal and collects your period fluid rather than absorbing it.

How to use

Fold the cup using a C- or punch-down fold, insert so the rim sits below the cervix and rotate or wiggle slightly to ensure the rim opens and seals. Empty into the toilet, rinse with water and reinsert. Because the cup is small (15ml), you may need to empty it more often than a larger cup if you have a heavy flow. It is suitable for overnight wear within the 8–12 hour window if your flow allows.

If you find insertion sticky or uncomfortable, use a water-based lubricant — avoid silicone-based lubricants with silicone cups. Take care when removing: pinch the base to break the seal before pulling down; don’t tug on the stem alone.

Cleaning and care

Rinse the cup after emptying with clean water and mild, fragrance-free soap. For a full sterilise, boil briefly as instructed by the manufacturer and allow to dry before storing in the cotton pouch. With proper maintenance the cup can last up to 15 years. Because it’s medical-grade silicone it won’t shed fibres like tampons, and it’s designed not to scratch or dry the vaginal walls.

Who is this for? If you’re under 30 and haven’t had a vaginal birth, want a low-capacity reusable option and prefer minimal waste, this cup will suit you. Who it’s not for? If you’ve had a vaginal birth, or you regularly have a heavy flow and want fewer changes between emptying, consider a larger capacity cup instead.

Other practical notes: it’s an ecological alternative to disposables, you can wear it overnight within the 8–12 hour guidance, and the estimated recovery of the initial cost is around four months compared with single-use products.

For people under 30 who haven’t had a vaginal birth and want a low-capacity, reusable menstrual cup.

If you’re in store asking for a low‑capacity, reusable option that’s gentle on the body, this is the small Liebe menstrual cup. Made from medical‑grade silicone, it sits inside the vagina to collect flow rather than absorb it. Because it holds 15 ml and is shaped for a comfortable fit, it’s aimed at lighter flows and those who prefer a smaller insertion size.

Fold the cup (C‑fold or punch‑down are popular), insert it similarly to a tampon and allow it to open so it seals against the vaginal walls. You can wear it for up to 8–12 hours depending on how heavy your flow is — many people use it overnight. To remove, pinch the base to break the seal and pull out gently; empty into the toilet and rinse before reinserting.

Tip: if you need extra comfort for insertion, use a water‑based lubricant. Do not use silicone‑based lubricants with a silicone cup as they can degrade the surface over time.

Between uses rinse with warm water and a mild, fragrance‑free soap. At the end of your period sterilise the cup by boiling it in water for a few minutes (follow any additional guidance from the brand). Store dry in the supplied cotton pouch — avoid airtight containers. Inspect the cup regularly for changes in texture, colour or elasticity; with sensible care the manufacturer notes a lifespan of up to 15 years.

Avoid harsh bleaches, oil‑based cleaners or abrasive brushes, and replace the cup sooner if you notice damage. Regular cleaning keeps the cup hygienic and comfortable to use.

A compact, entry‑level cup suited to lighter flows and first‑time users; its 15 ml capacity is smaller than many mid‑range cups so you’ll empty it more often if your flow is heavy. Level: beginner to intermediate.

Fifteen millilitres is approximately the capacity of 2–3 regular tampons (a typical regular tampon holds about 5–7 ml). It’s best for light to moderate flow; if you typically use super tampons you might prefer a larger cup.

Yes — when fitted correctly it stays in place for swimming, running and most workouts. If you notice leakage during high‑impact activity, it may be a sign you need a different fold, a change of position or a larger size.

The cup is made from medical‑grade silicone and is suitable for people with common sensitivities. If you have a severe silicone allergy or concerns, check with your healthcare professional first.

Consider the larger size if you’re over 30, have had a vaginal birth, or if you regularly find the small cup needs emptying very frequently or leaks despite correct placement.
