How to use a menstrual cup?

Using a menstrual cup can be a bit challenging at first, but with some practice, it becomes easy to insert and remove. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to use a menstrual cup:

  1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
  2. Fold the cup. There are different ways to fold the cup, so try a few and find the method that works best for you. A popular method is folding the cup in half to create a "C" shape.
  3. Make sure the cup is clean and dry, and find a comfortable position. You can stand, sit on the toilet, or squat.
  4. Insert the cup. Hold the cup together and gently insert it into the vagina. You will feel when the cup is in place. It may take some time to get used to the feeling, but you will soon find the right technique.
  5. Check that the cup is properly positioned. You should feel that the cup is secure and cannot fall out. You can gently rotate the cup to ensure it is in the correct position.
  6. Use the cup for up to 12 hours. You can use the cup for up to 12 hours, depending on how heavy your flow is. When the cup is full, remove it and empty the blood.
  7. Remove the cup. Make sure you have a firm grip on the cup and gently pull it out. Empty the blood into the toilet or sink, rinse the cup, and wash it thoroughly with warm water and soap.
  8. Reinsert the cup. Once the cup is clean and dry, you can reinsert it and continue your day.

It may take some time to get used to using a menstrual cup, but many women find it a practical and sustainable way to manage their period. If you are unsure whether a menstrual cup is the right choice for you, you can always talk to your doctor or healthcare provider.
