How To Use A Reusable Applicator
In the UK, Lil‑Lets offers a reusable range that includes reusable menstrual cups and a reusable tampon applicator.
If you’re looking for more sustainable period products, our reusable range is a great alternative to single‑use options. By choosing a reusable tampon applicator or menstrual cup, you can help reduce plastic waste while still prioritising comfort and reliability.
Lil‑Lets’ reusable menstrual cups and applicator are made with comfort in mind and designed for easy insertion, making them a practical choice for those looking to incorporate reusable products into their period routine.
If you’re thinking about moving away from disposable plastic applicators, a reusable tampon applicator is an easy, low‑effort switch.
It works in much the same way as a disposable applicator, helping you insert a tampon comfortably and hygienically. The difference? Instead of throwing it away after one use, a reusable applicator is washed, reused, and ready to go next time.
The Lil‑Lets reusable tampon applicator is designed to feel comfortable and familiar, so there’s no need to change your routine. You simply use it with a compatible tampon, clean it after use, and store it for later.
It’s a simple way to reduce plastic waste while still choosing an option made with comfort and ease in mind.
Yes! Lil‑Lets sells two reusable menstrual cup sizes, designed to suit different bodies and life stages.
Having two sizes helps make sure you can find a cup that feels comfortable and works with your body. Both menstrual cups are reusable, easy to care for, and designed to be a more sustainable alternative to single‑use period products.
If you’re unsure which size is right for you, starting with the option that best matches your age and birth history is a helpful guide.
Lil‑Lets menstrual cups come in two sizes to help suit different bodies and life stages. The main differences between Size 1 and Size 2 relate to fit and use, not how heavy your period is.
Both sizes are made from the same high‑quality materials and offer the same level of protection.
Choosing the right size helps the cup sit comfortably and work effectively for your body.
If you’re unsure which size to choose, these guidelines are a helpful starting point, but comfort and personal preference always matter most.
Choosing the right Lil‑Lets menstrual cup size is mainly about finding the best fit for your body. As a general guide, Size 1 is recommended if you’re under 30, new to periods or menstrual cups, and haven’t given birth vaginally, while Size 2 is designed for those who are over 30 or have given birth vaginally.
These factors can affect pelvic floor changes and comfort, which is why cup size is based on fit rather than how heavy your period is. If you’re unsure, starting with the size that best matches your age and birth history is a helpful place to begin, and personal comfort should always be the final guide.
Yes, reusable tampon applicators are hygienic and safe to use when they’re cared for properly. Lil‑Lets reusable tampon applicators are made from medical‑grade material and are free from latex, BPA and phthalates, making them a safe choice for everyday use.
The applicator is designed to be easy to clean, simply wash it with warm water and mild soap after each use, allow it to dry fully, and store it safely. For added convenience, it comes with a cloth storage bag, helping keep it clean and discreet at home or on the go.
When cleaned and stored correctly, a reusable applicator is just as hygienic as disposable options, while also helping to reduce plastic waste. It’s a simple, low‑effort switch for anyone looking for a more sustainable period routine without compromising on comfort or hygiene.

Lil‑Lets menstrual cups are also suitable for heavier flows. They can be worn for up to 8 hours and are designed to capture a similar amount of fluid to a heavy‑flow tampon, making them a dependable option throughout the day or overnight.
