Intimina
Intimina is a Swedish intimate wellness brand founded in 2009 as part of the LELO group, producing menstrual cups, kegel exercisers, pelvic floor trainers, and intimate health accessories designed with the specific goal of giving people with vaginas comprehensive, design-led intimate health tools that address the full lifecycle of pelvic health from menstruation through to pelvic floor rehabilitation. Where most intimate health product categories present clinical, medically austere products that communicate the function without any attention to the experience of using them, Intimina applies the same design rigour and material quality that LELO brought to the vibrator category to a set of intimate health products whose users are equally deserving of considered, well-made tools. The Intimina range at Lovva covers menstrual cups, kegel exercisers, and pelvic floor trainers for buyers seeking intimate health products that match their personal health goals with the same quality and care they apply to their other health investments.

About Intimina
Intimina was founded in 2009 within the LELO group with a founding observation that most intimate health products available to people with vaginas were clinically functional at best and actively unpleasant to use at worst, and that the users of these products deserved the same quality of design, materials, and user experience that had been applied successfully to other personal health and wellness categories. The menstrual cup category in 2009 consisted largely of products made from inferior silicone grades, with no attention to insertion and removal ergonomics, no consideration of the variation in cervical position between individuals, and no design investment that would make the products anything other than a functional clinical object. Intimina treated all of these as design problems worth solving.
The Lily Cup range that resulted from this design investment became the menstrual cup that introduced a significant number of menstrual cup users to the format: its significantly softer silicone compared to competitors, its rolled rim that aids insertion for new users, its collapsible Compact format for discreet travel storage, and its range of sizes that acknowledge the anatomical variation in cervical height between individuals were each design decisions that addressed specific usability problems the category had not previously prioritised. The cups are produced in medical-grade silicone that is body-safe, non-reactive, and capable of being fully sterilised between uses, which is the material standard that a product worn internally for extended periods requires.
The Kegel exerciser range extends the same design rigour into the pelvic floor health category, producing kegel balls, weighted trainers, and the Kegel Smart app-guided progressive training device that brings genuine fitness progression logic to pelvic floor training: a programme that adjusts the training intensity based on the user's measured improvement rather than offering a fixed routine that does not adapt to the individual's development. This progressive approach to pelvic floor training reflects the same evidence-based health thinking that makes Intimina products genuinely useful intimate health tools rather than wellness accessories with limited functional substance.
For Australian buyers, Intimina at Lovva provides access to the most design-serious intimate health brand available, with medical-grade silicone throughout, a product range that addresses the full scope of vaginal intimate health from menstruation through to pelvic floor rehabilitation, and a design quality that makes using these products a considered health investment rather than a reluctant clinical necessity.
Intimina Product Range
The Lily Cup series is Intimina's menstrual cup range, covering three distinct cup formats designed for different anatomical needs and use contexts. The Lily Cup One is specifically designed as a first menstrual cup for users who have never used an internal menstrual product before, with a softer silicone and a retrieval string in addition to the standard stem to assist removal for new users still developing the internal grip technique that experienced cup users use. The Lily Cup Classic is the standard Lily Cup format in two sizes suited to different cervical heights: the smaller size for users with a lower cervix position and the larger for those with an average to high cervix position. The Lily Cup Compact collapses flat for storage in a discrete case significantly smaller than the cup in its full form, making it the most practical Lily Cup format for travel and for users who carry their cup before and after their period rather than keeping it at home.

The Kegel Ball series covers weighted kegel trainers in medical-grade silicone, designed for beginner through intermediate pelvic floor strengthening through the resistance training effect of weighted internal wear during daily activity. The single and double ball configurations provide different weight and resistance levels, and the retrieval cord on all Intimina kegel ball products ensures safe removal regardless of the user's pelvic floor strength at the start of training. The kegel ball range suits buyers beginning pelvic floor training for the first time, users returning to pelvic floor training after pregnancy and childbirth, and users maintaining pelvic floor health as a regular wellness practice.
The Kegel Smart is Intimina's most technologically developed product, a Bluetooth-connected progressive kegel trainer that pairs with the Intimina app to measure the user's pelvic floor strength, set a training programme based on individual baseline assessment, and adjust the programme progressively as strength improves. Where standard kegel balls provide resistance training without feedback or progression guidance, the Kegel Smart provides the sensor-based measurement and app-guided progression that makes pelvic floor training as structured and evidence-based as other forms of fitness training. It suits buyers who want to follow a measured, progressive pelvic floor training programme with objective progress tracking rather than an unsupported training routine.

Who Buys Intimina Products
Buyers who want to switch from disposable menstrual products to a reusable, sustainable, body-safe alternative find Intimina Lily Cups the most design-seriously developed menstrual cup option available. The anatomical sizing range, the soft medical-grade silicone, and the Lily Cup One format specifically designed for first-time internal menstrual product users make the Lily Cup series the most accessible and most considered starting point for buyers exploring the menstrual cup format for the first time.
Buyers pursuing pelvic floor health for any of the many reasons that pelvic floor health matters, including post-partum rehabilitation, stress urinary incontinence management, sexual health and sensation improvement, or general intimate wellness maintenance, find the Intimina kegel range the most design-serious and most evidence-grounded source of pelvic floor training tools at accessible prices. The range covers both the simple weighted resistance of standard kegel balls and the progressive, measurement-guided training of the Kegel Smart depending on the buyer's goals and engagement level.
Post-partum buyers who have been advised by a healthcare professional or physiotherapist to pursue pelvic floor rehabilitation find the Intimina range, particularly the Kegel Smart progressive training system, one of the most clinically aligned self-directed pelvic floor training tools available without a clinical prescription. The Kegel Smart's app-guided progression mirrors the structured, progressive approach that pelvic floor physiotherapy applies, making it suitable for self-directed use alongside professional advice.
Buyers who care about the quality and sustainability of their personal health tools and who find the clinical aesthetics and inferior materials of most intimate health products incompatible with the care they apply to other health investments find Intimina's medical-grade silicone, LELO-heritage design quality, and considered user experience a significantly better match for their standards than the category's alternatives.
Choosing Intimina Products
For menstrual cups, cervical height is the most important anatomical factor for sizing. The cervix sits higher during some cycle phases and lower during others, and its resting position during menstruation varies between individuals from low, where the cervix is easily reached with one finger, through average, to high, where the cervix requires significant reach to contact. A cup sized for a low cervix position in a user with a high cervix will sit too low and may be uncomfortable or prone to leaking. The Lily Cup Classic comes in two sizes specifically to address this variation: check your cervical height during menstruation before selecting a size. Online guides for measuring cervical height are available and are the most useful pre-purchase research for new menstrual cup buyers.
For first-time menstrual cup users, the Lily Cup One is the specifically designed starting point. The retrieval string it includes in addition to the standard stem reduces the manual dexterity and internal grip technique requirement for first-time removal, which is the most commonly cited difficulty for new menstrual cup users. The softer silicone of the Lily Cup One also makes insertion and removal more forgiving during the learning period when technique is still developing. Once comfortable with cup use after one to two cycles, most users can transition to the Classic format if they prefer.
For kegel training beginners, start with the single Intimina kegel ball at the lightest available weight rather than the double ball configuration. Single ball resistance training is the correct starting point for anyone beginning pelvic floor training, including post-partum users whose pelvic floor strength may be significantly reduced. The ability to hold a single kegel ball comfortably during normal daily activity for the recommended session duration is the appropriate baseline before progressing to a heavier or double-ball configuration.
For the Kegel Smart, complete the initial baseline assessment through the Intimina app before beginning the training programme, and allow the app to set the starting programme based on this assessment rather than selecting a difficulty level manually. The Kegel Smart's value is in its ability to calibrate the training to your specific strength baseline and adjust as your strength develops: bypassing the assessment defeats the purpose of the progressive training system.
Looking After Intimina Products
Sterilise Intimina menstrual cups and kegel products in boiling water for five to seven minutes before first use and at the start of each menstrual cycle. Between uses within the same cycle, rinse with clean water and mild, fragrance-free soap. At the end of the cycle before storage, sterilise by boiling and allow to dry completely before returning to the storage pouch. Store in the breathable fabric pouch provided rather than in an airtight container, which can encourage bacterial growth in residual moisture on the silicone surface.
For the Kegel Smart, clean with warm water and mild soap after every session and dry completely before returning to the storage case. The electronic sensor component is waterproof but should not be boiled: clean by washing rather than sterilising. Charge via the included magnetic charging system before extended storage and check the app for any firmware updates that improve the training algorithm accuracy.
Do not use silicone-based or oil-based products on Intimina medical-grade silicone: these degrade the silicone surface over time. Use only water for rinsing during use, and fragrance-free, intimate-safe soap for cleaning. Do not use harsh cleaning agents, vinegar, or hydrogen peroxide on silicone intimate health products.
Goes Well With
Intimina kegel training pairs naturally with the Kegel Smart app, which is the most direct complement to the kegel ball range and provides progression guidance that converts standalone kegel ball use into a structured training programme. For buyers using the standard kegel ball range who want to add this progression and measurement capability, upgrading to the Kegel Smart is the most direct and evidence-aligned next step within the Intimina range.
For menstrual cup users who experience discomfort during insertion, a small amount of water or a water-based lubricant applied to the cup rim significantly reduces insertion friction and makes the learning period for new cup users shorter and more comfortable. Use only water-based lubricant rather than silicone or oil-based formulas, which degrade the medical-grade silicone surface of the cup over time.
The Lovva blog on how to communicate about intimate health and products with a partner provides a useful framework for buyers who want to discuss their intimate health practices, including menstrual cup use or pelvic floor training, with a partner in a way that is open, comfortable, and reflects the genuine health investment that Intimina products represent.

Frequently asked questions
What is Intimina and what is the brand's relationship to LELO?
Intimina is a Swedish intimate wellness brand founded in 2009 as part of the LELO group, applying the same design rigour, medical-grade silicone standard, and user experience thinking that LELO brought to the vibrator category to a range of menstrual cups, kegel exercisers, and pelvic floor trainers. The brand produces the Lily Cup menstrual cup series, the kegel ball training range, and the Kegel Smart app-guided progressive pelvic floor trainer, all in medical-grade silicone designed for intimate health use.
How do I choose the right Lily Cup menstrual cup size?
Cervical height is the most important sizing factor. The cervix position during menstruation varies between individuals from low, where it is easily reached with one finger, to high, where significant reach is required to contact it. The Lily Cup Classic comes in two sizes to address this variation. Measure your cervical height during menstruation before selecting a size. First-time menstrual cup users should consider the Lily Cup One, which includes a retrieval string alongside the standard stem to assist removal while technique develops, and uses softer silicone to make the learning period more forgiving.
What is the Kegel Smart and how does it differ from standard kegel balls?
The Kegel Smart is a Bluetooth-connected progressive kegel trainer that pairs with the Intimina app to measure the user's pelvic floor strength through a baseline assessment, set a training programme calibrated to that baseline, and adjust the programme progressively as strength improves. Standard kegel balls provide weighted resistance training without measurement or progression guidance. The Kegel Smart makes pelvic floor training as structured and evidence-based as other fitness training, with objective progress tracking that confirms improvement over time.
Are Intimina products suitable for post-partum pelvic floor rehabilitation?
Yes, with appropriate guidance. The Intimina kegel ball range and Kegel Smart are designed for pelvic floor rehabilitation use and the Kegel Smart's app-guided progressive programme specifically mirrors the structured approach of pelvic floor physiotherapy. Post-partum users should begin with the single lightest kegel ball and allow the Kegel Smart baseline assessment to set an appropriate starting point rather than selecting a difficulty level manually. Use alongside professional physiotherapy advice where possible rather than as a complete substitute for clinical guidance.
How do I clean and sterilise Intimina menstrual cups and kegel products?
Sterilise menstrual cups and kegel ball products by boiling for five to seven minutes before first use and at the start of each menstrual cycle. Between uses within the same cycle, rinse with clean water and fragrance-free intimate-safe soap. Dry completely before returning to the breathable fabric storage pouch rather than an airtight container. For the Kegel Smart, wash with warm water and mild soap after every session and dry completely. Do not boil the Kegel Smart. Use only water-based products with all Intimina silicone: silicone and oil-based products degrade the medical-grade silicone surface.
