Intimina Ziggy Menstrual Cup FAQ’s
How do I measure my cervix height?
- Insert a (clean) finger into your vagina. Keep moving until the tip of your finger is touching your cervix. You’ll be able to distinguish your cervix from the rest of your vagina, as the tissue is a little bit firmer than your vaginal walls. It feels a little like the tip of your nose.
- If you can only get one joint of your finger in, you have a very low cervix. Two joints? You have an average cervix height. If you can fit your entire finger into your vagina before you touch your cervix, then you have a high cervix.
- Once you are familiar with the height of your cervix, you can note the measurement and compare it against the length of different menstrual cups to find out the perfect one for you.
How do you chose between Size A and Size B?
Childbirth can often affect the shape of the vagina and weaken pelvic floor tone. Size B is recommended for all women who have given birth vaginally. Size A is recommended for those who have not given birth or those who gave birth by Caesarean.
How to use Ziggy Cup?
Using your fingers, squeeze the rim in half for insertion, making an ‘8’ shape. Sitting comfortably on the toilet, relax your vaginal muscles and insert the cup into your vagina by firmly pushing the back rim inside, so the rim moves behind your cervix. Then tuck the front rim up behind your pelvic bone. The cup will fit perfectly around your cervix to collect your flow. A few additional tips for insertion that we recommend specifically for Ziggy Cup; it is important to note that there is actually a front and back to the Ziggy Cup! If you look at the cup from the side, you'll see the difference: one side of the cup looks to be slightly thicker and gives you a bit more space to get a grip on the cup during insertion. Try squeezing in the middle, insert back end (thinner part) first and tuck it behind the pubic bone. After that, try to kind of push it further in by pushing the thicker-rimmed part, and just go over it with your finger. You can also try to feel that your cervix is in the middle and touch with your finger to make sure the rim is open if it's still tucked properly!
To remove your Ziggy Cup, you need to be sitting comfortably on the toilet (or crouch down), relax your body and insert your finger into your vagina, hooking it under the front rim of Ziggy Cup. Gently pull the cup out, making sure it is horizontal to avoid spillage. Empty the contents into the toilet, then rinse and reinsert for 8 more hours of protection.
What's the front and the back of Ziggy?
You can turn the cup over and look at the bottom - the front rim of the cup looks slightly thicker, and the cup itself is shallower on that part, while the back of the rim is thinner and the cup is deeper. This gives you a bit more space to get a grip on the cup during insertion (tucking it back/up behind the pelvic bone) and removal (hooking the finger behind the rim and wiggling it down).
Can Ziggy Cup be used as contraception?
Although Ziggy Cup can be worn during sexual intercourse, it doesn’t act as a contraceptive and will not protect you from STI's or pregnancy as a result of sexual intercourse.
