Noble Cup is an eco-friendly, time saving, cost-effective method of managing menstruation, made for African women in mind.
Since Every Queen Bleeds, anyone can purchase a Noble Cup. When you purchase a cup for yourself, one will be provided to a woman in need.
Benefits
Chemical and irritant free.
The Noble Cup does not disturb the natural equilibrium of the vaginal area as it is free from chemical substances or irritants.
Less leaks and no odor.
When inserted correctly, you should experience no leaks. And the silicone barrier means no odor when worn no longer than the suggested 12 hours.
Eco-friendly.
Pads and tampons create waste and are difficult to dispose of for women in communities without adequate garbage disposal facilities. One Noble Cup can be re-used for up to 5 years.
Comfortable & convenient.
You can wear your Noble Cup for any activity while menstruating. Great for overnight use, a day at school or work, and is perfect for travel, sports, swimming and life on the go.
Cost-effective.
As opposed to single-use period products, Noble Cup is a one time cost!
How-to use the Noble Cup
Step 1: Insertion
Wash your hands thoroughly before handling your Noble Cup, inserting or removing. Find a comfortable squatting or crouching position.
Spread apart your labia to find your vaginal opening. Relax your vaginal muscles and insert the edge of the cup horizontally into your vaginal opening. To ensure that your cup is in place, pinch the base of the cup and rotate to assure it has opened completely.
Step 2: Choose your preferred fold
The U Fold
Press the sides of the cup together and fold it in half to make a ‘U’ shape.
The Triangle Fold
Place a finger on the top rim of the cup and press it down. Once pressed, it forms a triangle making the top much smaller for insertion.
3. Removal
The Noble Cup can be safely worn for up to 12 hours. You might prefer to remove and empty more regularly (every 4-8 hours) depending on your flow.
Relaxing your vaginal muscles is key to removal. Crouch or sit in a squatting position to remove your cup, push with your vaginal muscles to move the cup lower. To make removal easier, pinch the base of your cup to release the suction seal. Grip the cup with your fingers from the base and pull down gently to remove it.
Keep your cup in an upright position to keep from spilling. Once removed, empty your cup.
4. Cleaning
Rinse your Noble Cup once removed or simply wipe with toilet paper before re-inserting. Sterilize your Noble Cup by boiling in water (3-5 minutes) before every new cycle. Make sure to clean the small holes at the top of your Noble Cup as they help make the seal. Do not use harsh soaps or detergents to clean your cup, you can soak your cup in warm water for extra cleaning.
Tip: If you do not have access to potable water in your bathroom, use a water bottle or pat dry with tissue paper after emptying.
