Having a period in everyday situations is quite challenging, but having a period and having sex seems like an impossible feat. That was before Ziggy came along. And in 2022, it’s even easier to combine periods and pleasure without worry, thanks to the newest generation of menstrual cups for mess-free sex – Ziggy Cup 2!
Meet our newest flex family member, the Ziggy duo!
The new Ziggy is even lighter, like a petal inside the body. It has a double rim and a ribbed tab to allow slip-free removal. This also add protection from leakage. Thanks to the special tilt and ring for easier removal, Ziggy 2 is easier to use. This unique menstrual disc has a specific shape and special purpose.
It also has a new outfit, available in two colours and two sizes. Ziggy A (50 ml / 1.69. oz.) is a light pink menstrual disc intended for those with a shorter cervix and lighter to medium-intensive period flow. Ziggy B is cerise, a bit bigger (76 ml / 2.5. oz.) and created for people with a higher cervix and heavier flow.
Is a menstrual disc for me?
Ziggy can be worn by anyone who menstruates and anyone who wants to feel fearless during the period. It’s an affordable product that doesn’t compromise on quality and lasts you years.
Reusable menstrual discs are easy to insert and feel like nothings there. Ziggy A and B give you the ultimate confidence in any situation with their leak-proof ‘anatomy’. They also offer 8 hours of non-stop period protection. Because of the way Ziggy rests below the cervix, it catches your flow entirely so that you can even enjoy mess-free period sex. This menstrual disc is also one of the best options for someone’s first disc – for teenagers or those who have never used a menstrual cup before. It is currently the only menstrual cup in this shape on the market.
Are you sure I can have it during sex?
Yes! That’s was one of the focuses when it was first being designed. Here are the features that make it sex-friendly:
- It has a flat-fit design for absolute comfort & room for penetration;
- Leak-proof double rim;
- Ribbed tab for slip-free removal;
- Up to 8 hours of non-stop protection;
- Unlike a tampon, it collects blood rather than absorbing it (less risk of toxic shock syndrome);
- Healthy for your body: no odours, dryness, or irritation (gentle for the vagina’s natural pH balance);
- Covers light to heavy flows.
How can I use it?
It’s very easy to use, which is why many women choose Ziggy as their first disc. The ideal option would be to sit on the toilet (or try different positions) and do the following:
Squeeze – Use your thumb and forefinger to squeeze the sides of the rim together to form a figure eight.
Insert – Insert the back rim of the cup first and use your index finger to push the cup. Angle the cup back and slightly down so that the rim moves behind your cervix.
Placement – Tuck the front rim up behind your pelvic bone to correctly position the cup around your cervix to collect your flow. If your disc is inserted properly, you won’t have problems with leaking.
Removal – It’s so easy that Ziggy can even be removed in a public toilet. Just keep in mind that you have to have clean and disinfected hands and soap, water and toilet paper around. Hygiene is always a must because we want to avoid bacterial infection or any other infections.
Use your finger and hook it behind the front rim of the inserted cup. Gently pull the cup out while keeping it horizontal to avoid spillage.
New year, new features
Except for the two sizes that our customers asked for, the new flex Ziggy disposable menstrual disc has a contoured tab for slip-free removal. The reinforced, flexible, petal-thin body is also made for easier insertion and better adaptation to the shape of the vaginal canal.
Our first generation Ziggy line will soon be replaced by the Ziggy A and B on our webshop, so hurry if you want to keep this period product in your collection.
New Ziggy loves nature!
Yes, the new Ziggy doesn’t have a silicone case anymore. Its package is now completely made from a carton, which, unlike tampons, makes new Ziggy Cup a totally eco-friendly period product- from the product itself to its packaging. And it also comes with a washable fabric hygienic storage pouch like some of Lily cups. This flex disc is a great long-run silicone investment.
