Pixie Cups are designed as a reusable alternative to traditional period products. You can use them to collect menstrual flow during your cycle. They're made from medical-grade silicone and are free from metals or toxins. Many people choose them for their comfort, long wear time (up to 12 hours), and eco-friendly nature. If you're looking for a product that can be worn throughout daily activities, including work, exercise, and sleep, these cups can be a practical option. Always follow the included instructions for safe and effective use.

You can typically wear a Pixie Cup for up to 12 hours before needing to remove, empty, and rinse it. The actual wear time may vary depending on your flow and personal comfort. It's important to follow the instructions provided with your cup and to practice good hygiene. If you're new to menstrual cups, you may want to check and empty it more frequently at first to find what works best for you. Always wash your hands before and after handling your cup.

If you notice an odor with your Pixie Cup, it could be due to residue buildup or not cleaning it thoroughly between uses. To help prevent smells, rinse your cup with water and use a mild, fragrance-free soap after each use. Make sure the cup is completely dry before storing it. Occasionally, you can boil the cup in water for a few minutes to give it a deeper clean. If odors persist, check the manufacturer's cleaning guidelines for additional tips.

Choosing the right size depends on your individual needs and comfort. Pixie Cups come in multiple sizes, such as extra small, small, and XL. Factors like your flow, age, and whether you've given birth may influence your choice. If you're unsure, you can look for starter kits or combo packs that include more than one size, allowing you to try and see what fits best. Reading product descriptions and user reviews can also help you make an informed decision.

• Rinse the cup with cold water to help prevent stains.
