About Intimina
Intimina is a Swedish women’s health brand from LELO, the designer best known for its pleasure products. It was founded in 2009 by Ivana Sedic and launched in the US in 2011. The early range covered massagers, pelvic floor exercisers, cleansers and moisturisers.
Menstrual cups became the brand’s focus. The Lily Cup range grew to include a collapsible cup and a beginner cup. In 2018, Intimina launched Ziggy Cup, a flat-fit disc made to be worn during sex. Today, its products are sold through pharmacies and retailers worldwide.
In 2020, Intimina worked with the Pantone Color Institute to create Period, a bold red shade. It was part of the Seen + Heard campaign, which aimed to make periods easier to talk about.
Intimina lines
Intimina sorts its range by life stage and purpose. Here are its main products.
Lily Cup
Lily Cup is Intimina’s classic menstrual cup, made from medical-grade silicone. It has a slanted shape and an ultra-smooth finish, and comes in sizes A and B. Size B holds about 30 ml and is wider, for those who have given birth vaginally or have a heavier flow. Intimina says it can be worn for up to 12 hours. Browse it with our other menstrual cups.
Lily Cup Compact
Lily Cup Compact folds down flat into a slim case, so it fits in a pocket or purse. Intimina calls it the world’s first collapsible menstrual cup. It suits light to medium flows and comes in sizes A and B. Pop it open, fold it and insert it like any cup. When you are done, collapse it and store it in its case.
Lily Cup One
Lily Cup One is made for first-time cup users. It is soft and small, with a removal ring at the base for an easy grip. The cup collapses into its own case for storage. Intimina designed it for younger users and anyone new to reusable period care. It is a good first step before moving to a standard Lily Cup.
Ziggy Cup and Ziggy Cup 2
Ziggy Cup is a flat-fit menstrual disc made from thin silicone. Intimina launched it in 2018 as a reusable cup that can be worn during sex. It sits higher than a standard cup, tucked behind the pubic bone. Ziggy Cup 2 comes in two sizes and has a removal tab. Our period sex guide for men covers how couples approach sex during a period.
Laselle Kegel Exercisers
Laselle are weighted silicone kegel exercisers made for pelvic floor exercise. They come singly or as a set of three, at 28 g, 38 g and 48 g. Users start with the lightest weight and move up over time. Each has a soft retrieval cord for easy removal. The silicone surface is smooth, so it is easy to wash and dry after each session. Compare them with our other kegel exercisers.
KegelSmart and KegelSmart 2
KegelSmart is a rechargeable pelvic floor trainer that guides each routine with vibration. It senses your muscle strength and picks a level to match, across five levels. Pulses tell you when to squeeze and when to relax. KegelSmart 2 adds touch sensors and a waterproof, rechargeable design. Both are made from medical-grade silicone. Sessions are short, so they fit easily into a daily routine.
Intimina personal massagers
Intimina also makes a small range of silicone massagers. Raya is a contoured massager for external use, and Kiri is a slim, curved clitoral massager. Celesse is a curved G-spot massager. Kalia is a wearable couples massager. All are rechargeable and waterproof, and made from body-safe silicone. They sit among our personal massagers, and suit non-penetrative pleasure as well as solo play.
Bloom period underwear
Bloom is Intimina’s period underwear. Each pair is made with organic cotton and a breathable leak-proof layer. Our listing states each pair holds around 20 ml. Bloom can be worn on its own on lighter days, or as backup with a menstrual cup or disc. Rinse in cold water after use, then machine wash. Skip fabric softener, which can affect absorbency.
Feminine care: Balmy, Feminine Moisturizer and Accessory Cleaner
Intimina’s care range supports its devices. Balmy is a fragrance-free external moisturising cream, pH-balanced at 4.5, with hyaluronic acid and squalane. Feminine Moisturizer is a water-based gel that is safe with silicone. The Accessory Cleaner is an alcohol-free spray for cups, kegel trainers and massagers. Use it between washes. The moisturiser and cream are both free of fragrance, and suit daily use.
Cup or disc?
A menstrual cup sits low in the vagina and forms a light seal. A disc, such as Ziggy Cup, sits higher and tucks behind the pubic bone. Cups have a stem or ring to help removal, while discs have a rim or tab you hook with a finger.
Cups suit people who want a firm, familiar fit. Discs suit people who find cups uncomfortable or want to have sex during their period. Neither is better for everyone, so it can take a cycle or two to find your match. Our guide to menstrual sponges covers another reusable option.
Practise inserting and removing a new cup or disc at home on a light day. Wear backup underwear for the first cycle while you learn the fit. Empty it in the shower if you find that easier. Most people find it feels natural after two or three periods.
Choosing a cup size
Intimina sizes most cups as A and B. Size A is smaller and suits people who have not given birth vaginally. Size B is larger and suits those who have, or who have a heavier flow. Cervix height matters too. A low cervix may suit Lily Cup Compact or a disc, while a higher one may suit the classic Lily Cup.
If you are unsure, start with Lily Cup One. It is soft, small and easy to remove.
Getting started with pelvic floor exercise
Laselle and KegelSmart are made for pelvic floor exercise, sometimes called kegels. Start when you are relaxed, with an empty bladder. Lie down, add a little water-based lubricant and insert the exerciser gently. Short, regular sessions are easier to keep up than long ones.
A pelvic health physiotherapist can check your technique and suggest a routine. This is a good idea after childbirth or if you have any pelvic symptoms.
Caring for Intimina products
Wash cups and discs with mild, unscented soap and water when you empty them. Boil them between periods, as Intimina directs. Wash kegel trainers and massagers with warm soapy water or the Accessory Cleaner after each use. Let everything dry fully before storage, and keep each item in its pouch or case. Replace any silicone item that becomes sticky, cracked or torn.

Who Intimina suits — and who should look elsewhere
Intimina suits people who want reusable period care and simple pelvic floor tools from a health-focused brand. It also suits couples who want a disc they can wear during sex.
It is not the brand for anyone wanting a wide range of sex toys. Its massagers are a small side range. People who prefer tampons or pads may also find the move to a cup takes time.
Please read — safety first. Read the instructions for each product before first use. Boil menstrual cups and discs before first use and between periods, as Intimina directs. Do not wear a cup or disc for longer than the stated time. Menstrual cups have been linked to rare cases of toxic shock syndrome. Remove the cup and seek medical help if you get a sudden fever, rash, vomiting or dizziness. A disc is not a contraceptive and does not protect against STIs. Ask a doctor or pelvic health physio before kegel training if you are pregnant, postpartum or have pelvic pain. This information is general in nature and is not medical advice. If you have a health condition or ongoing discomfort, stop use and speak with a qualified health professional. |
