Menstrual cups

Empty your menstrual cup according to the heaviness of your flow, but no later than every 12 hours. On heavier days, you may need to empty it more frequently.

First, wash your hands and relax. Gently squeeze the base of the menstrual cup to release the seal, then carefully pull it out.
Do not pull on the stem or the ball. Instead, gently grip the base of the cup to remove it.

Stay calm and try changing position, for example by squatting. Gently bear down with your pelvic floor, reach for the base of the cup, and release the seal by squeezing it. The cup cannot get lost or move into your uterus.

A menstrual cup may leak if it hasn’t fully opened, isn’t positioned correctly below the cervix, or is already full. The cup may also be the wrong size. Whoop·de·doo offers two sizes, so you can choose the one that best suits your flow and individual needs.

A menstrual cup is inserted correctly when it has fully opened, feels comfortable, and doesn’t leak. If you can’t feel the cup and there is no menstrual leakage, it is most likely positioned correctly.

A menstrual cup sits lower in the vagina than a tampon. It should sit comfortably below the cervix, where it opens up and creates a seal. When inserted correctly, you shouldn’t be able to feel it.

You can wear a menstrual cup for up to 12 hours, depending on your flow. On heavier days, you may need to empty it sooner, while on lighter days, it can be worn for longer. Whoop·de·doo menstrual cups are designed for comfortable and safe wear both day and night.

We designed the Whoop·de·doo Menstrual Cup in two sizes, which you can purchase separately or together in the better-value Duo Pack. You can alternate between the two sizes throughout your cycle, depending on what feels most comfortable for you. For the beginning of your period, we recommend the Classic cup, while the Light cup is ideal for the final, lighter days of your cycle.

Light is designed for women and girls with a strong pelvic floor who are accustomed to using smaller menstrual products, such as smaller tampons. It is ideal for lighter-flow days.
Classic is suitable for heavier flow or the first days of your period. It is also a good choice for women who have given birth vaginally and for those who usually use larger tampons.

If you are unsure which option is right for you, feel free to contact us.

When inserted correctly, you can wear the cup throughout your day — while sleeping, exercising, swimming and going about your usual activities.

The easiest way to insert it is in a squat, ideally in the shower or bath, or with one foot resting on the toilet seat. Fold the cup into a “flower” shape and let it “bloom” once inserted into the vagina. Then run a finger around the cup to check that it has fully opened and is sitting snugly against the vaginal wall. When you want to empty the cup, squat down again. First locate the small ball at the base, then gently squeeze the entire lower part of the cup where the ridges are. This releases the seal between the cup and the vaginal wall, allowing you to remove it easily.

Then simply empty the cup, rinse it and reinsert it. For easier handling, we recommend moistening your fingers before insertion or removal.

Do not pull the cup out by the ball alone, as this may cause the contents to spill.

If you choose the Duo Pack, you can alternate between the two cup sizes throughout your period, depending on what feels most comfortable for you.

When inserted correctly, you can barely feel a menstrual cup and can comfortably go about your day – sleeping, exercising, travelling or swimming. Because it collects menstrual blood inside the body, you don’t have to deal with the feeling of dampness, sweating or the discomfort often associated with pads. The blood also remains inside the cup and does not come into contact with air, helping to prevent unwanted odour. Throughout your period, you can enjoy a greater sense of cleanliness, freshness and freedom.

Unlike a tampon, a menstrual cup does not absorb blood – it simply collects it, so it does not dry out the vaginal mucosa. When swimming, it also does not absorb water, and there is no string showing. It is discreet, reusable and barely noticeable when worn.

That is exactly why a menstrual cup is an ideal summer companion – under your swimsuit, at the seaside, in the pool or while travelling.

The Whoop·de·doo Menstrual cup is made from non-porous medical-grade silicone, making it 100% hygienic and very easy to care for.

After your period, wash the cup thoroughly and remove any traces of menstrual blood. For hygienic cleaning, pour hot water over it or boil it briefly. You can also use our Whoop·de·doo Cleaning Spray – leave it on for a few seconds, then rinse thoroughly with drinking water.

Once clean and dry, store the cup in the clean fabric pouch included in the packaging.

Yes. We developed the cup in consultation with gynecologist MUDr. Erika Franc, who recommends our Whoop·de·doo Classic Cup for women with a low cervix.

However, every woman's body is unique, so we always recommend discussing your individual situation with your gynecologist to find the most suitable option for you.
