Most first-time users start with the Regular, which suits medium flow and a medium cervix. Choose Mini if you have lighter flow, a lower cervix, or are under 18. Choose Super for heavier flow, a higher cervix, or post-birth bodies.

Yes. When used correctly, menstrual cups are considered a safe and effective form of period care for most women. The Inoya Period Cup is made from 100% medical-grade WACKER silicone (Germany), independently lab tested, and free from BPA, heavy metals, latex and dyes.
Wash your hands, then fold the cup (a C-fold or punch-down fold is easiest for beginners). While seated, squatting, or with one leg raised, gently insert the folded cup into the vaginal canal. Once inside, let it open naturally, then run a finger around the base to confirm it has fully opened. It should sit comfortably below the cervix.

The Inoya Period Cup can be worn for up to 12 hours. For safety and hygiene, do not exceed 12 hours per wear, even on lighter days.
Yes. The Inoya Cup is designed to prevent leaks and provide comfort whether you're sleeping, exercising, swimming, or on the go. Its soft silicone forms a leak-proof seal that stays put through movement.
You shouldn't feel pain while the cup is in. Some people may feel light pressure if the cup is positioned too high or against the cervix. Inoya's soft silicone is designed to minimise this, but if you feel discomfort, try repositioning the cup slightly lower or using a different fold.
Take a small water bottle into the cubicle with you. Empty the cup into the toilet, rinse it with the bottle water, then reinsert. Wash your hands thoroughly at the sink afterwards.
Rinse in cold water after use, then soak in cold water with a small amount of detergent. If any stains remain, apply a little soap directly to the fabric, leave it to soak for another hour or so, then rinse and machine wash with your regular laundry on a cold or warm cycle. Air dry to help extend the life of your pads. Avoid bleach, fabric softener and high heat, as they can damage the organic cotton and waterproof backing over time.
Yes. Inoya reusable pads are independently lab tested and made from GOTS-certified organic cotton with a leak-proof PU backing. Free from BPA, PFAS, chlorine, dyes, and synthetic fragrance. As long as they're washed properly between uses, they stay hygienic for years.
Reusable pads work just like disposables, only softer and healthier. Multiple layers of absorbent organic cotton draw moisture away and lock in your flow. Wings snap around your underwear to keep the pad in place. Change every 3-4 hours (or more often on heavy days).
Choose the size that matches your flow:
- Panty Liners (19cm): everyday freshness, light spotting, or discharge
- Regular (23cm): light to medium flow days
- Large (28cm): medium to heavy flow days
- Overnight (34cm): overnight protection, heaviest days, or postpartum
Most people build a wardrobe with 2-3 of each size for a full cycle.
Most people find 6-8 pads is enough to rotate through a full cycle, allowing some pads to be worn while others are washed and dried. Heavier flow may need more; lighter flow may need fewer.
Our sets are curated to give you the right mix of sizes without the guesswork.
With proper care, Inoya reusable pads are designed to last 3+ years. That's one pad replacing hundreds of disposables over its lifetime, saving money and keeping waste out of landfill.
Not if you store them properly. Fold and tuck used pads into a waterproof wet bag until you're home. As long as they've been rinsed and stored dry, they stay fresh and odour-free.
Yes. Inoya pads are soft, breathable, and designed with smooth edges so nothing rubs or irritates. GOTS-certified organic cotton keeps your most sensitive areas gentle and chemical-free all day.
