Yes, menstrual cup is a safe product.
Menstrual cup & UID
It is safe to use the cup with an UID. But it is important that you know how to use the menstrual cup correctly. You can use a menstrual cup if you have an UID. Still, studies suggest that women who used a menstrual cup had a higher rate of UID dislodgement than women who used tampons or pads. Although this is a personal choice, we recommend that you talk to your doctor first. Let's say you want to use the cup and you have an UID inserted. In that case, we recommend waiting three months after the UID insertion (to allow it to settle). It is also a good idea to cut the threads. Always be sure to break the suction completely before you start removing the cup.
Menstrual cup & SST
Toxic shock syndrome is a disease that affects both men and women, and is not only associated with the use of tampons.
Although it is a rare disease, there are several risks that can lead to the appearance of the toxic bacteria that cause it.
These are the most common causes: having recently given birth, staphylococcal infection, use of tampons during period, recent surgery, wound infection, using a nasal packing to treat bleeding, UID and tampon use at the same time
The guideline of removing and emptying the cup every 12 hours is precisely to avoid any possibility.
