The short answer? Yes! If you\u2019re old enough to menstruate then you can use a menstrual cup, regardless of sexual activity. \u2018Popping your cherry\u2019 might be a euphemistic way to describe losing your virginity, but it also lends to the problematic idea that there is something to be \u2018popped\u2019.<\/p>\n

Outside of the many misconceptions, it creates about anatomy and sex, this phrase also leads to a lot of confusion about what period\u00a0products\u00a0virgins can and cannot use. Luckily for any would-be cup users out there, while you may not have had sex, you don\u2019t have to abstain from using a menstrual cup.<\/p>\n

Using a menstrual cup can be compared to bike riding – when you once learn it you will never forget it. So learn it properly – with a little prep and a little patience, you can be a cup pro in no time.<\/p>\n
