Mahina Cup is a reusable, soft bell-shaped menstrual cup that is worn internally and suctions snugly in the vaginal canal. Produced from the highest quality Health Grade, Class VI Silicone and designed with you in mind. 

Mahina Menstrual Cup collects blood rather than absorbs it, like tampons or pads. It warms to your body and moves inside with you. 

You will save approximately $250 per year, which adds up to about $5,000 savings over the course of your bleeding years.  

(Ma- Hee- Na) means ‘Moon’ or ‘Moon Goddess’ in Hawaiian. As women, we wax and wane with the moon; she reminds and reflects to us our beautiful cyclical nature. Mahina shows us light and dark, and every phase in-between. We remember that whatever it is, it’s ok, that life is supposed to ebb and flow.

Every Mahina Menstrual Cup is a tribute to the Goddess of the Moon in the sky and in your belly. 

Mahina Menstrual Cup is pH neutral which means it doesn’t affect the delicate balance of your vaginal pH. Most yeast infections occur when this balance is offset. Tampons are acidic and often lead to irritations and infections. During your monthly flow, the cells in the vaginal canal are open and porous, vulnerable and receptive to what is inside. The fibers from tampons, even if organic cotton, often break off and can lodge into your vaginal canal, creating a dangerous environment and bacterial playground over time. 

We want you to have a healthy period and an even healthier vagina, so rest well and bleed free with Mahina Cup. 

Although menstrual cups have no relation to yeast infections, it may be more comfortable for you to wear a reusable pad alternative until the symptoms clear. This will allow your vaginal canal to get the most air flow and to ensure you are not harbouring yeast.  It’s recommended to change whatever you chose to use during this time frequently and boil/wash in hot water.

If symptoms are minor, and it feels comfortable to have your cup in, follow your body’s intuition and intelligence and reach out to your physician if needed. Remember, Mahina Menstrual Cup is 100% health-grade silicone; it does not absorb or give off anything. It’s pH neutral so doesn’t run any risk of carrying bacteria.

Mahina Cup is inserted into the vaginal canal and sits just below the cervix. It creates a suction and collects moon blood while you move freely in whichever way you chose. After 12 hours, you take it out, empty the fluids, rinse it out and put it right back in. It’s simple and luxurious period care. 

You will know it’s positioned correctly if you are having no sensations or leaks. You should not feel Mahina Menstrual Cup once inside.

If you’re having trouble with positioning, be sure to follow our user guide video.  After placing inside, gently feel around the rim with one finger to check that your cup has opened; then a slight tug down will ensure a proper suction in your vaginal canal. You want the whole cup to be inside and sitting just below your cervix. 

You can wear Mahina Menstrual Cup comfortably and safely for up to 12 hours. If it’s your first time, we recommend checking every 3-4 hours just to be sure you got the suction technique down and to see how much you are bleeding. It’s common for your flow to get lighter if switching from conventional tampons, so be patient and allow your body time to adjust. 

Make sure to watch our user guide video. The best technique is a gentle tug down once inserted to ensure proper suction in the vaginal canal. 

Leaks and spotting mean improper placement and weak suction. Experiment with putting Mahina Menstrual Cup higher or lower and take the time to really get to know your body. It can be a little bit of a learning curve, and we promise, with practice it will be second nature in no time. 

When first starting your journey with Mahina Menstrual Cup, we recommend you check every 3-4 hours and here’s why.

1. To see how much you are bleeding and to properly gauge how long you can leave your cup in for.
2. To ensure you are getting the proper suction on your Mahina Menstrual Cup.

Once you get the hang of using and loving your cup, you will have the freedom of up to 12 hours between changes. Remember to empty and clean your cup at least every 12 hours for proper care.

There are a few options if you need to change your Mahina Menstural Cup in a publc restroom.

1. Bring a water bottle into the stall with you so you can rinse out your cup and put her back in.
2. Wipe out your cup with toilet paper and reinsert.
3. Take your Mahina Menstrual Cup proudly to the sink and tell any sisters, who glance over curiously, about her.

The main thing to remember, is your blood is safe to be inside you. If you have a lighter clean, while out and about, make sure to give your Mahina Menstrual Cup a proper rinse when you return back to a home or private bathroom.

We have found the most success with our ‘Tulip Technique.’

With one finger push down on the side edge towards the bottom until your Mahina Cup forms the shape of a tulip. By holding the base you insert the cup on a tilted angle.

When inserting, make sure the cup is placed far enough inside. The muscles inside the vagina will hug and suction to your Mahina Menstrual Cup to prevent leaking and movement. Here she can sit comfortably, just deep enough that you do not feel the stem. 

Once Mahina cup is inside, if it does not open automatically, you can take the base and swirl it. This will ensure it’s open and in correct placement.

 Tip: you can try inserting Mahina Cup before your bleeding begins to get the hang of it. 

Relax sis, there is nowhere for Mahina Cup to get lost and no possibilities of her getting stuck. Your vaginal canal is a beautiful network of spiral muscles leading up to your cervix, a tiny opening that leads to your uterus. Unless you are fully dilated, nothing is getting through!

If you are having trouble with removing your Mahina Cup, here’s a few tips. 

1. Get into a deep squat, this will position your pelvis in a way that automatically brings your Mahina Cup closer to the base of your vaginal canal.
2. This is best done in the shower or somewhere with no worries about blood droplets.
3. Relax, take a few deep belly breaths and trust your bodies ability to let go. 
4. Take a deep inhale, followed by a deep exhale.
5. With your thumb and first finger, reach for the base of your Mahina Cup, Exhale, and slowly bring down and out. 
6. TADA! You are a Mahina Cup Ninja!!

Mahina Menstrual Cup is used successfully by many women with an IUD. It’s recommended that you consult your physician and ask them to check the space between your IUD and Mahina Menstrual Cup. They can cut the IUD string to prevent dislodging.

Some things to keep in mind:

It’s important to fully break the seal of your Mahina Menstrual Cup when taking out.

Remove your Mahina Menstrual Cup slowly and consciously to ensure you don’t tug on your IUD string.

Leave space between your cervix and Mahina Menstrual Cup, possibly inserting lower in the vaginal canal to ensure this.

Every body is different so there is never any one rule that applies. However, many women with a retroverted or tilted uterus find using Mahina Menstrual Cup easy. It greatly depends on how tilted your uterus is and you may have to play with the positioning of your cup for greater effectiveness. 

If you do have a tilted or retroverted uterus, we recommend seeking a Mayan Abdominal Massage therapist in addition to a consistent Yoni Steaming practice to assist the uterus in returning to its optimal position.
