Sheba Feminine
Ultra-Soft Menstrual Cups
Overview
The Sheba Feminine ultra-soft cup is a reusable menstrual cup that collects rather than absorbs menstrual fluid. It is made of 100% medical-grade silicone and can be safely worn for up to 12 hours and used for up to 10 years. South Africa’s softest menstrual cup, with a loop to make removal easy!
It stays in place by creating a seal between the cup and your vaginal wall. Once your cup is filled, you simply empty, rinse, and reinsert the cup for another 12 hours of protection.
The Oshun Blue Ultra-Soft Cup (Size A: 15-20ml) is named after the goddess Oshun, also known as the river orisha which comes from the Yoruba religion and culture in Nigeria. Oshun symbolises water, fertility, love and sensuality.

Instructions
Step 1
Wash your hands thoroughly.
Step 2
Tightly fold the Sheba ultra-soft menstrual cup in your preferred fold shape, holding it in one hand with the rim facing up.
Step 3
Find a comfortable position. Holding the folded menstrual cup with one hand, use your free hand to part your labia. Slowly insert your menstrual cup into your vagina in the direction your tailbone.
Step 4
When you can no longer hold the cup in a folded position, let it “pop” open inside your vagina. Ensure that the ring is not protruding out of your vaginal opening.
Step 5
To check that the cup has fully opened, slide a clean finger up to the cup bottom and feel it – it should be round.
Step 6
If it is not round, rotate it until the cup bottom is round.
To Note:
You shouldn’t feel your menstrual cup if you’ve inserted the cup correctly. You should also be able to move, jump, sit, stand, and do other everyday activities without your cup falling out. If you’re having trouble putting in your cup the first few times, don’t worry about it, practice makes perfect 🙂 Use our anatomical pantyliners to help with any leaks you may have whilst trying to master the cup.
How to take your menstrual cup out
To take out a menstrual cup, just follow these steps:
- Wash your hands thoroughly.
- Place your index finger and thumb into your vagina. Pull the cup’s ring gently until you can reach the base.
- Pinch the base to release the seal and pull down on the ring to remove the cup.
- Once it’s out, empty the cup into the sink or toilet.
The measuring lines on the cup help monitor your flow and easily learn your flow.
Cup after-care
The Sheba ultra-soft reusable menstrual cups should be washed and wiped clean before and after your cycle and before being reinserted into your vagina. Your cup should be emptied at least twice a day. Your Sheba cup can be used for up to 12 hours.
To avoid odour and discolouration, rinse first in cold water, and then wash with hot water and a mild soap.
Reusable menstrual cups are durable and can last up to 10 years with proper care.
