The Hivette is a menstrual cup. Menstrual cup is a reusable device for menstrual fluid collection. The Hivette is the first Malaysian menstrual cup and was introduced at the beginning of 2019. It is an environmentally-friendly alternative to pads and tampons as it collect the menstrual fluid instead of absorbing it like tampons and pads did. This will eventually reduce the risk of getting Toxic Shock Syndrome. (Which is great, right?)
Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is very common in woman with absorbent pads/tampons due to overgrowth of bacteria. Want to know more about TSS? We got you! More about TSS in WebMD
With proper care, the cups are reusable for up to 10 years, however, we recommend that you replace it if the material starts getting sticky, cracking or any visible tears spotted. We recommend emptying your cup every 4 to 6 hours. Our menstrual cup is available in two colors (black and yellow) and sizes (25ml and 35ml).
Material:
The Hivette is made of medical-grade silicone. For your information, medical-grade silicon is a unique material which is skin-contact safe and commonly used in industrial applications.
How do I choose the right size?
The Hivette is available in two (2) sizes.
The smaller cups (25ml) are generally suggested for women that are:
- Younger than 30 years old/teens
- Haven’t give a birth, vaginally
- Never had sexual intercourse
The bigger cup size (35 ml) is frequently suggested for ladies who are:
- Older than 30 years of age
- Giving a birth, vaginally
- Have a heavier period
How do I use menstrual cup?
- Wash & sanitize
- Fold the cup
- Try to find the best position

Wondering on how to use your cup or how to fold it? Worry not!
On the other hand, there are few misconceptions circling around about wearing a menstrual cup. This includes:
- I lose my virginity if I’m wearing a menstrual cup
- I have to remove the cup every time I want to pee/poo
- It is non-hygienic to but silicone inside my vagina
- Menstrual cup will get lost inside me

It works as advertised and is comfortable. I did have to trim the stem, but that’s expected (maybe TMI, but there it is :D). Would buy again if needed.

My first time using menstual cup, and I chose The Hivette. I feel that it is more comfortable compared to napkin. Of course, for the first few time, need some trial to find out the right way to wear it and I put napkin for safety😊 My experience, for normal flow, only need to clean 8hours once. For heavy flow, need to clean maybe 2-3hrs once depend on own situation.
After get used to it, i feel very comfortable, good sleep, not need to worry the leak out, easy to pull out and clean, no more feeling itchy (wearing napkin made me itchy) , not smelly, more healthy and save cost (no need to buy napkin every month) . For those still thinking, suggest to try on menstrual cup, u will fall in love with it 👍

Switching from ordinary pad, tampon to The Hivette menstrual cup. A brand new experience and takes some time to get used to it(how to insert and remove the cup). After using for straight 3 days, I would say I love it! No more irritation and itchiness even though how hot the weather is. Plus I can now sleep tight without worrying leakage issue.Highly recommend to all girlfriends.

Extremely easy to use. It’s eco-friendly, comfortable and saves me a lot of money. Just after using it for the first time, I instantly became a cup-convert. The black Hivette Menstrual Cup helps if you have issues with stains.
