I have been a big fan of period cups for a few years now. Partly for environmental reasons (think of all the pads and tampons and plastic wrapping every time you have your period) and partly for cost. One $40 cup vs $12 every month is some pretty simple math!
So when I heard about Intimina's Ziggy Cup, I was intrigued to say the least.
Period sex can be a lot of things; messy, taboo, inconvenient. But on the flip-side, a female orgasm releases hormones that combat period cramps and lower back pain.
When approaching the Ziggy Cup, I would say to think of the first time you ever used a tampon. It was terrifying right?! That goes where? And I have to put it there with my hands!? But now it’s second nature. It’s much the same with the Ziggy - or any period cup for that matter - the first go is a bit weird, but you get used to it in no time.
Because the Ziggy is a different shape to a regular period cup, and is designed to be comfortably used during sex, I'm here to give you some pointers on both insertion and removal to make the process a little more seamless.
