How do I insert and remove my menstrual cup?Updated a month ago


HOW TO INSERT YOUR CUP

  1. Take a deep breath and find a comfortable position — sitting, squatting, or standing with one leg raised. (Tip: You can wet your cup with clean water for easier insertion, or do it in the shower.) 
  2. Fold your cup — either a C-fold (pictured) or punch-down fold — whatever feels most natural.
  3. Gently insert it into your vagina. Angle it toward your tailbone, lower than you would place a tampon. 
  4. Once inside, let it unfold fully and gently rotate to form a leak-proof seal.


HOW TO REMOVE YOUR CUP

  1. Wash your hands with soap and water.
  2. Sit, squat, or stand with one leg raised.
  3. Locate the base of your cup.
  4. Gently press the sides to release the suction.
  5. Pull your cup out using a firm grip.
  6. After emptying the cup, rinse it with cold water, wash with mild soap and warm water, rinse the soap off thoroughly, and reinsert or store.
