A menstrual cup is a reusable period product, usually made from medical-grade silicone, that sits inside the body and collects menstrual blood rather than absorbing it.

For almost everyone, yes. When used correctly and cleaned properly, menstrual cups are widely considered a safe reusable option for period care.

This depends on your flow and the specific cup guidance, but generally many people wear a cup for 4-10 hours at a time before emptying and reinserting.

There can be a learning curve. Many people need a few cycles to get comfortable with insertion, removal, and finding the routine that works best for them.

If you’re transitioning from disposables, it’s like learning how to use a tampon all over again- it’s jarring. But don’t give up, give yourself some grace- take some time for yourself to learn and practice. It’s worth it.

If your cup has opened fully and feels comfortable, it is usually sealed. Some people gently rotate the cup, pull very gently on the stem, or check around the base to make sure it has opened.

Most people rinse it with clean water and reinsert it, then do a fuller clean or sterilise it between cycles, depending on the cup brand’s guidance.

Halo makes cleaning your cup during the day easier, if you want to find out more, go to our homepage!

This is one of the biggest reasons people hesitate. Many users end up improvising with toilet roll, bottled water, or shared sinks, which is exactly the kind of friction Halo is designed to reduce. Halo was developed to support more discreet, practical cup rinsing in public and shared bathrooms, with one-handed use and a portable, self-contained format.

Halo is Amora’s portable menstrual cup rinsing pod. It is designed to make cup care feel cleaner, easier, and more discreet, especially outside the home. It supports one-handed use, is compact enough for everyday carry, and is built around the real-life problem of managing a cup confidently in shared or public spaces.

Halo is designed for current menstrual cup users, people considering the switch, and former users who found public cleaning awkward or inconvenient. Amora’s strongest audience is people who want reusable period care to feel more practical, hygienic, and emotionally easier in real life.

Most existing solutions focus on sterilising, simple rinse containers, or home use. Halo is positioned differently: it is designed specifically for discreet public use, one-handed interaction, portability, and a non-clinical, lifestyle-led experience rather than a medical-feeling product.
