Plus, &SISTERS donate 10% of their profits to charities working to combat period poverty around the world, so your cycle can give back.
This cup is ideal for anyone with a period, who’s given birth vaginally or are over 30. Because it’s crafted from silicone, it can be worn for up to 12 hours, although this will depend on your rate of flow.

Storage & prep
There are a few different ways to insert your cup. &SISTERS recommend using either the 'U’ fold or 'punchdown' fold for the quickest and easiest insertion.
For the U fold: - Firstly, wash your hands well using an anti-bacterial soap for at least 20 seconds. - Create a ‘U’ shape from the opening of your Nüdie by pressing and holding the sides of the cup together and then folding it in half. - Find a comfortable position and relax your pelvic floor muscles. Standing with one foot on the closed toilet or side of the bath works well. - Gently push your Nüdie into the vaginal canal with the tip approximately 1 cm into the vagina. The Nüdie will now pop open inside you and create a seal.
If you’re struggling with the U fold, try the punchdown fold instead. It opens a little more easily once inside. - On one side of your cup, push down with your index finger until the wall of the cup touches the base of the cup and curls in on itself. - Insert in the same way as you would the U fold.
If you’re having difficulty inserting your Nüdie, try wetting your cup with clean, room temperature water, or using a bit of personal lubricant.
