- Do NOT use the Venus Cup if you have a yeast or bacterial infection. Since Silicone is non-porous, it is believed that menstrual cups do not worsen or cause yeast infections or Bacterial Vaginosis. However, you should remove your cup, boil and store it away until the infection has completely cleared. Visit a doctor for more information, diagnosis and treatment.
