The Scarlet Period Cup comes in two sizes - regular and large - to accommodate different body types and menstrual flows. It can be (comfortably) worn during physical activities, such as swimming and exercising, but should not be worn during sex.
Size 1 (regular) holds up to 5 teaspoons of blood, or the equivalent of 2.5 regular tampons or 2 regular pads.
Size 2 (large) holds up to 6.5 teaspoons of blood, or the equivalent of 4 regular tampons or 3 regular pads.
Sterilise before first use by boiling in water for 3-5mins. Clean thoroughly before subsequent uses. Store in a dry and well-ventilated area between cycles.
100% medical grade silicone.
Did you know more than 12 *billion* pads and 7 *billion* tampons are thrown out every year. The average person with a period uses 11,000 pads, tampons and panty liners in their lifetime.
The reusable Scarlet Period Cup is a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional period products, so by switching to Scarlet, you're supporting a period and planet positive future.
It is a reusable period cup made of 100% soft medical grade silicone that is worn internally like a tampon, but collects, rather than absorbs, your menstrual flow.
As it has more than 2.5x the capacity of a regular tampon, you can safely wear it for up to 8 hours before emptying. The Scarlet Period Cup is designed for ultimate comfort. Once your cup is in place, you shouldn't feel a thing.

Your Scarlet Period Cup CANNOT GET LOST. Sometimes the cup can move higher in the vagina, but don’t panic. Try using your pelvic muscles to push down to lower it. The force and skill of gravity will bring it down. Gotta love science.
We get asked this a lot. Simply take out your Scarlet Period Cup and empty it into the toilet. When out and about, we suggest keeping a bottle of water and a few sachets of our Cup Wipes handy so it’s super easy to wipe your cup clean. We also have our Cup & Hand Wash, a pH balanced, low-foaming wash designed specifically to clean your Scarlet Period Cup.
Make sure to check that the holes at the side of the cup are clear before reinserting the cup. No mess, no fuss.
Menstrual cups have been associated with Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). TSS is a rare, but very serious, illness that can cause death. It’s caused by the release of poisonous substances from an overgrowth of bacteria called Staphylococcus aureus, which is found in many women’s bodies. Toxic Shock Syndrome affects menstruating women, especially those who use super-absorbent tampons. TSS is rarely associated with the use of menstrual cups, but still occurs.
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF TSS? Symptoms can be similar to the flu, such as high fever, chills, headache or muscular pains. You may also experience dizziness, vomiting, diarrhoea, fainting, weakness or confusion. If ANY of these symptoms occur CONTACT AN EMERGENCY DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY. To learn more information about TSS, visit toxicshock.org.au
The Scarlet Period Cup lasts years, not hours.
Saving the planet from a whole bunch of waste.
Non-absorbent and made from medical grade silicone,
to respect your vagina's natural balance.
You can wear your Scarlet Cup worry-free
for 8 hours without needing to empty it.
Get ready to feel the joy of not having to change every few hours whilst also saving the environment from a whole bunch of waste.
Before inserting, fold the edges in on themselves to make the cup flat, then fold it again to make a C shape.
Gently insert into your vagina. When you let go, the cup will position itself at the base of your vagina, creating a super secure, leak-proof seal.
Pinch the finger grips at the base of the cup with your forefinger and thumb to release the suction seal. Rock the cup back and forth to gently ease it out.
