Sex, birth control and anatomy

It is not necessary to remove th cup for urination or bowel movement; however, as cup sits
low in the vaginal canal, it cannot be worn during intercourse. The cup is not a birth control device and
should not be used for this purpose. The cup is regulated by the US FDA, Australian TGA and Health
Canada solely for use as feminine hygiene protection.
Please note the following when using cup with an internal birth control device such as an IUD or NuvaRing®.

The cup is worn low at the base of the vagina and away from the cervix. This means that it should not
interfere with an internal birth control device. However, please use caution when using any internal feminine
hygiene product with an IUD as there is the possibility that they can be dislodged. When using cup,
it is important to carefully follow the directions in our User Guide, paying close attention to inserting The
cup low in the vaginal canal and breaking the seal (suction) before removal. Many of our customers use
The cup with an IUD or NuvaRing® simultaneously, but we recommend that you become familiar with
your birth control device’s risks (such as the body expelling the IUD, etc.).
As with any gynecological concerns, please consult your physician prior to using any kind of internal feminine
hygiene product, including a menstrual cup.
