How many times is it normal to empty a menstrual cup?

Great question! Here’s a clear answer you can use:

🩸 How Many Times Should You Empty a Menstrual Cup?

On average, you should empty a menstrual cup every 8–12 hours. But how often really depends on your flow:

• Light flow: 2 times a day (morning & evening) may be enough.

• Moderate flow: About 3–4 times a day.

• Heavy flow: You may need to empty it every 4–6 hours.

⚠️ Important:

• Never wear a cup for more than 12 hours straight, even on light days.

• Always wash your hands before removing or reinserting.

• Rinse the cup with clean water (or mild, unscented soap if available) before reinsertion.

✅ Bottom line: Most people empty their cup 2–4 times a day, but it varies by flow.
