Description
By starting gently, you'll see that the menstrual cup really changes the game compared with disposable tampons and pads. IrisCup is an innovative alternative: it collects menstrual flow instead of absorbing it, which means zero risk of toxic shock, zero disruption to your natural vaginal flora, and zero alteration of your intimate lubrication. It's a product designed for your long-term well-being.
Medical-grade platinum silicone: the safest material
IrisCup is made from 100% platinum-cured medical-grade silicone, the most biocompatible material that can come into direct contact with your vaginal mucous membrane. Why is this important? Because this silicone will not cause allergies, inflammation, or adverse reactions. It's hypoallergenic by nature, not just in marketing. I consider this type of material the absolute benchmark for anything involving internal intimate care.
Dimensions and comfort: suitable size S
Size S is perfectly suitable if you have never given birth vaginally or if you are under 30. It adapts to the vaginal walls without creating discomfort or pressure. Its precise dimensions are compact for easy insertion, and once in place, you won't feel it at all. That's the major advantage: forget the sensation of having something foreign inside you.
10-year lifespan: an investment that pays for itself
Here's my opinion based on feedback from my customers and the supplier's product information: a medical-grade menstrual cup like this one lasts around 10 years with regular use. It pays for itself in just 6 months when compared with the boxes of tampons or pads you buy every month. It's the most economical alternative on the market. What's more, you generate less waste: around 45 billion pads and tampons are thrown away worldwide every year. With a reusable cup, you help reduce this impact.
Eco-friendly without compromise
The manufacture of IrisCup does not use bleaching agents such as chlorine, which generate polluting dioxins. No materials sourced from deforestation are used. It's a product designed for your body AND for the planet. Between us, it's rare to find an intimate hygiene product that truly checks every box: safety, effectiveness, environmental responsibility, and affordability.

Who it's for and who it's not for
Ideal for: Anyone who menstruates and is looking for a durable, eco-friendly, and healthy solution. Particularly recommended if you have a medium to heavy flow, want to stop buying tampons/pads every month, or have skin that is sensitive to synthetic materials. If you're looking for long-term intimate well-being, see our complete guide to postpartum well-being to understand how menstrual cups fit into an optimal intimate hygiene routine.
Less suitable if: You have never used a menstrual cup and are afraid of insertion. In that case, I recommend starting with video tutorials or consulting your gynecologist for insertion advice. You can also explore our intimate well-being collection to discover other solutions if you prefer a gradual approach.
Advice from a friend — The first use can seem intimidating, but it's like a tampon: you'll quickly find your technique. The included sterilization bag makes it easy to clean between cycles. Invest in this cup—you won't regret it.
