What is The
Alicia™?
In
the simplest of terms, The Alicia™,
is the single most revolutionary concept
in feminine hygiene since the tampon. The
Alicia™ is very sanitary, comfortable,
reliable and convenient menstrual pod that
holds one full ounce (30 ml) of menstrual
fluid. Since the entire cycle is an average
of 3-4 ounces (90-120 ml), most women find
that The Alicia™, it is not even half
full after 8 hours. The vagina is continually
self-cleansing, washing away dead cells
and bacteria. Tampons absorb the natural
fluids that we need to keep the vagina clean
and moist. The Alicia™ is non-absorbent
and simply collects the menstrual flow,
leaving the natural moisture level in the
vagina undisturbed.
Is
The Alicia™ expensive?
The Alicia™
retails for $AUD 60.00 per unit. (Freight
or postage costs are not inclusive)
When you compare the cost of The Alicia™
to monthly purchases of pads or tampons
bought over the time you have menstruated,
there is a big difference in costs! The
Alicia™ pays for itself within a short
few months. You’ll be amazed how much
money The Alicia™ can save you in
the long run!.
Can I return or exchange
The Alicia™?
When purchasing The
Alicia™, it has a 2 year guarantee. This
entitles you to a refund if not satisfied
with the product or if the product is faulty.
Freight costs are not inclusive with any
refund made.
How does The Alicia™
stay in place?
The muscles and tissues
in the vaginal walls are very strong and
flexible! When The Alicia™ has been inserted,
and is pull and push gently on the tail
to ensure The Alicia™ pops open. This creates
a suction seal within the vagina canal.
If it does not pop, keep gently pulling
and pushing on the tail until it does, otherwise
The Alicia™ will leak if insertion has not
been done correctly.
Can I use The Alicia™
if I am a heavy or light bleeder?
Yes! Whether you're
a heavy bleeder or a light one, it's ok
to use The Alicia™. The Alicia™ holds one
full ounce (30 ml). Since the entire cycle
is an average of 3-4 ounces (90-120 ml),
most women find that The Alicia™. It is
not even half full after just 8 hours.
The Alicia™ allows for easy monitoring of
your monthly menstruation cycle by the measurements
noted on product itself. These measurements
are great tool for any type bleeder when
wanting to monitor their flow!
Light bleeders can go for 12 hours (or more)
when using The Alicia™ without it filling
it up. This becomes very convenient when
only having to empty The Alicia™ twice per
day!
For heavy bleeders, they simply need to
just remove The Alicia™ every couple of
hours to see how quickly The Alicia™ fills.
As heavy bleeders become familiar with amount
of their monthly flow, they can then adjust
when they next empty The Alicia™ when using
it.
Can I try The Alicia™
prior to the beginning of my period?
Of course you can!
Some women who were new to using The Alicia™
found it very helpful to test inserting
and removing The Alicia™ prior to their
period. If you do test using the Alicia™
please read carefully the directions included
when buying our product or any other additional
information that can be found elsewhere
in The Alicia™ FAQ!
Can you feel The
Alicia™ when using it, and does it hurt?
Some women can feel
The Alicia™ and some women can't. The Alicia™
does not hurt when using it, as long as
it has been inserted correctly. If you find
the tail of The Alicia™ uncomfortable please
trim the tail to suit.
What's the difference
between the varying sizes of The Alicia™?
The Alicia is made
in 4 varying sizes. This is so that it can
be catered for all women. The sizes range
from "Extra Small", "Small", "Medium" and
"Large".
EXTRA SMALL: For small
teenagers and very small women.
SMALL: For women under
30 years old who have never had childbirth
or C-Section.
MEDIUM: For women who have
had vaginal childbirth or C-Section; and
for women who are over 30 years old and
never had childbirth.
LARGE: For larger built
women that have had children.
Wouldn't The Alicia™
be messy to use?
Initially, when learning
how to insert and remove The Alicia™, it
is probable that you will encounter your
menstrual blood. Once you are comfortable
and know how to correctly use The Alicia™,
with no leaks, there is no mess. Remember,
menstrual blood is natural - not something
to be afraid of!
Is The Alicia™ ok
to use during outdoor activities?
Whether your swimming,
hiking, camping, backpacking, playing sports,
skiing or whichever outdoor activity you
are doing, The Alicia™ is ideal for all!
It is suitable for all menstruating women
of all ages engaged in any outdoor activity.
Is the type of silicone
used to manufacturer of The Alicia™ the
same as breast implants?
No. The silicone used
in breast implants is in a 'gel-like' form
silicone known to seep through its containing
bag. It is not the same silicone used by
the manufacturers of The Alicia™. The particular
silicone we use for The Alicia™ is of high,
medical grade quality, 100% hyper-allergenic
and has been used safely in medical applications
such as catheters, heart valves, medical
tubing, teats and internal body parts for
many years.
