Frequently Asked Questions

You shouldn’t feel any pain while the cup is in. That said, some people may feel a bit of pressure if the cup is positioned too high or pressing against the cervix. Inoya’s soft silicone is designed to reduce this, but if you're cramping or feeling discomfort, it might be worth trying a different fold or inserting the cup slightly lower. A small adjustment can make a big difference in comfort.

When you need to change your cup in a public toilet, take a water bottle with you inside the toilet cubicle. Empty the blood into the toilet bowl, rinse your cup, and then flush. Don't forget to wash your hands thoroughly before changing your cup.

Of course! Our Inoya cup is designed to prevent leaks and provide maximum comfort even when you are lying down. You can wear your cup while sleeping, exercising, or during those long days out.

Our menstrual cup can be worn for up to 12 hours. For reasons of health and safety, do not exceed 12 hours per wear, even if your flow is not heavy.

Please see the 'User Guide'.

Our pads are made with ethically sourced organic cotton for both the top and inner layers. The outer layer has a polyurethane (PU) coating to prevent leaks without additional chemicals. Our manufacturing process is environmentally friendly. 

Reusable pads work just like the disposable ones you’re used to — just way comfier and better for your body. Ours are made with multiple layers of soft, absorbent organic cotton that draw moisture away and lock in your flow. They stay put with handy wings that snap around your underwear. Just change them every 3–4 hours (or more often on heavier days), and you’re good to go.

Our reusable pads are made to feel good. They're soft, breathable, and designed with smooth edges so there's nothing to rub or irritate. We use organic cotton because your most sensitive areas deserve gentle, non-toxic comfort all day long.

Our pads are made for most people who menstruate — with different sizes and absorbencies to suit light to heavy days. Everyone’s flow and preferences are different, so it’s all about finding what works best for you. If you're new to reusable pads or liners, starting with a pantyliner is a great way to ease in. You can pair it with your usual product (like a tampon or menstrual cup) and see how it feels for you ☺

The number of pads needed depends on your flow and how frequently you prefer to wash them. As a starting point, having around 6-8 pads is usually sufficient. This allows for rotation while some pads are in use and others are being washed and dried.

With proper use and care, Inoya pads are designed to last 3 years or longer. 

Yes, reusable menstrual pads will remain hygienic if properly cleaned and cared for. It's important to follow proper washing instructions and maintain good personal hygiene practices during your menstrual cycle.

Not if you store them properly. Once folded and tucked into a waterproof pouch or wet bag, used pads can be carried discreetly and without odour.

As long as they’ve been properly washed and dried, they’ll stay fresh and ready to go until it’s time to use or wash them again.
