deepcup

DeepCup is a brand name used for a type of silicone menstrual cup designed to collect menstrual fluid inside the vagina. DeepCup-style cups are characterized by a deeper well intended to increase capacity and to accommodate users with a higher cervix or heavier menstrual flow. They are typically made from medical-grade silicone and come in multiple sizes to fit different body anatomies. Common design elements include a flexible rim for comfort and a retrieval stem or grip to aid removal.

Usage and care practices for DeepCup align with other menstrual cups. The cup is folded and inserted into the vagina, where it unfolds to form a seal that prevents leakage. It can be worn for several hours, depending on flow, with recommendations ranging up to 8–12 hours in many cases. After removal, the cup is emptied, rinsed, and reinserted. For cleaning, cups are usually rinsed with water, and boiled or sterilized between cycles. Users are advised to avoid oil-based lubricants, which can degrade silicone, and to wash hands before handling the cup.

Safety and fit considerations apply to DeepCup as with other cups. Proper sizing and insertion technique reduce leakage and discomfort. Although menstrual cups have a low risk of toxic shock syndrome when used as directed, users should follow guidelines for wear time and hygiene. People with certain medical conditions or undergoing pregnancy should consult a healthcare provider before use.

Market presence varies by region, with DeepCup and similar cups sold through online retailers and specialty stores. They are viewed as an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to disposable menstrual products, though individual experiences with fit and comfort can differ.
