Description
A safe, ecological and practical alternative to traditional internal tampons, the menstrual cup respects the body and the environment because it is hypoallergenic and reusable. It is much more economical than traditional tampons, as well as very easy to use on any occasion, both day and night, when travelling or playing sports. Made of 100% soft platinum medical silicone, instead of absorbing menstrual flow, it collects it, respecting the body's natural balance.
It does not contain latex, phthalates, animal-derived substances (BSE-TSE), dyes, perfumes, or dangerous chemicals.
Small cup suitable for those under 30 who have never given birth, unless the birth was by C-section.
Large cup suitable for those over 30 who have given birth naturally.

Instructions for use
Always wash your hands thoroughly before any operation. Visually and by touch, check the FarmaCup, paying attention to the small holes on the wider circumference, which are essential to facilitate its removal and release the "seal" effect; it is therefore important that they are always clear. If necessary, remove any obstruction by passing a small needle through them. Sterilize the FarmaCup by immersing it in water and boiling it for at least 5-7 minutes. Make sure the cup is completely immersed in water; this will prevent damage. Sterilization should be carried out at the beginning of each cycle.
After checking and cleaning, you can proceed with inserting the FarmaCup; this operation is easy: it will be even easier if you are relaxed. For the first few times, it may be necessary to practice a bit to find the most suitable position, both for insertion and removal. It is recommended to practice during the last two days of the cycle when the flow is less abundant. For insertion, especially for young women, it may be necessary to use a water-based lubricant or wet it with water before insertion. The correct position is lower than a normal internal tampon.
To insert, wash your hands with neutral soap and fold the FarmaCup in half vertically, as if to form a "U", holding it between your thumb and index finger. With the other hand, gently spread your labia and insert the "U"-folded cup into your vagina. It should be inserted so that it stops about one phalange from the outside. Finally, check with your fingers that the FarmaCup adheres to the vaginal walls.
For easy removal, assume a comfortable position, preferably squatting, that relaxes the abdominal muscles. Wash your hands with neutral soap and insert your index finger and thumb into the vagina, pressing the cup at the base or, if necessary, insert a finger along the outer wall, using the stem or by contracting and relaxing the vaginal muscles that may hold the cup. First let one edge out and then the other, tilting the two opposite sides of the FarmaCup alternately. You may hear a sound of the cup detaching from the vaginal walls: this is the "seal or vacuum" effect that must be released before extraction. If you find that the cup resists, do not be alarmed but continue to relax. If the vaginal muscles are tense, they will hold it further; there is no danger of the cup getting "lost" inside. Gently pull out the cup, tilting it slightly; this will allow you to extract it easily without accidentally spilling the contents. Finally, empty the cup into the toilet and, once thoroughly rinsed, it can be reinserted.

Warnings
Remember to empty, rinse, and reinsert the FarmaCup every 4/8 hours, depending on your flow. To clean the cup, in addition to boiling it, you can also immerse it in a 5% sodium hypochlorite solution (following the instructions provided by the manufacturer of such solution) and not exceeding the immersion time, which is usually about 10 minutes. Do not use aggressive products that can damage the cup and cause irritation, especially corrosive products, essential oils, and perfumed soaps. Do not put the FarmaCup in the dishwasher.
It is not a contraceptive method and does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases.
If you experience burning or pain during urination, remove the cup immediately.
In case of gynecological problems, consult your doctor before using FarmaCup.
The cup must be removed before any sexual intercourse but it is not necessary to remove it for urination or defecation.
Do not lend or exchange your FarmaCup with anyone.
Keep the FarmaCup away from pets.
Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is an extremely serious condition caused by a bacterial toxin linked to Staphylococcus Aureus. TSS is often associated with the use of traditional tampons. Its symptoms are similar to those of the flu and include: sudden high fever (> 39°C), muscle pain, vomiting, headache, diarrhea, dizziness, fainting, skin rashes similar to erythema or sunburn. If you experience any of these symptoms, remove FarmaCup and consult a doctor immediately.
If you have previously suffered from TSS, consult your doctor before using the FarmaCup.
The stem should not cause any discomfort and it is important that it does not protrude from the vagina. If it is too long for your body, it can be shortened so that it only reaches the edge, taking care to round off any sharp edges that may be created as a result of the cut. The stem should only be shortened after you are sure it is too long, i.e., after using the cup several times. If the stem is to be completely cut off, it is possible to do so, but only if you are sure that you can extract it even without its help. The first indication that helps you realize that the stem needs to be cut is the discomfort you may experience when sitting or walking. Cut a small piece at a time and test the length to avoid cutting the stem too short.
If your FarmaCup is positioned correctly, you will not have leaks. If this happens, it may be due to its position, the stem, adherence, or size.
