Description
The Haakaa Menstrual Flow Cup is the perfect alternative for women looking for a safe, simple, economical and waste-free way to manage their periods. Made from 100% soft and flexible silicone, the Haakaa Flow Cup is free from BPA, chlorine and other harsh chemicals that are found in conventional pads and tampons.
Th Haakaa Menstrual Flow Cup sits comfortably inside the vagina, creating a seal that collects your menstrual blood. Alternative methods like tampons can absorb additional vaginal fluids, which can disturb the delicate PH and bacterial balance in your vagina, leading to swelling, dryness and odour. Your Flow Cup can be worn for up to 12 hours and can be reused over and over!
The Haakaa Menstrual Flow Cup has a shorter stem for comfort and is perfect for those who usually need to trim the stem of other menstrual cups.

Instructions:
Please read the instructions below before using your Menstrual Flow Cup.
- Always make sure you have clean hands before touching and inserting your Menstrual Flow Cup.
- Sterilise your Menstrual Flow Cup by boiling it in water for 3-5 minutes. Holding your Menstrual Flow Cup with the stem pointing down, drain it completely of water and dry.
- Find a position that is comfortable for you. You can stand, sit, or put a foot up on the toilet – any position works, as long as you’re relaxed.
- Place your finger on the top rim of your Menstrual Flow Cup and press down into the centre, forming a triangle shape. This makes the top rim much smaller to insert.
- Hold the folded cup firmly in one hand and gently insert your Menstrual Flow Cup into the vagina on a straight angle. Make sure the cup remains folded until it is completely inside your vagina and the stem is even with the vaginal opening.
- Let the cup pop open and check for folds or dents around the base. You’ll know if your Menstrual Flow Cup is inserted correctly if you can pull on the stem and feel resistance from the vacuum seal.
How to Remove:
Make sure you have clean and dry hands. Pull gently on the stem of the cup until you reach the base of the cup. Pinch the base of the cup to break the vacuum seal and continue to pull down gently until the cup is removed. Empty your Menstrual Flow Cup into the toilet and rinse with water before reinserting. If your period has finished, sterilise your Menstrual Flow Cup by boiling in water for 3-5 minutes, then place it back inside its case.
