How to use
How to use
Insertion:
- Before first-time use, boil the cup in water for 20 minutes.
- Wash your hands before you begin.
- To prepare for insertion, start by folding the cup. The most popular is the ‘C Fold’ method: pinch the cup together and fold it in half.
- Try different positions to help you relax, such as sitting on the toilet, lying down, or standing up.
- Insert the cup inside, aiming towards your lower back, not straight up.
- Once the cup is fully inserted, release and allow the cup to open up. The stem of the cup may stick out for some people. If you would like, you can trim the stem to a length that suits you.
- To ensure a proper suction seal has been created, run your finger around the base of the cup to ensure there are no folds or dents.
- Wear for up to 12 hours.
Removal:
- Wash hands before removing.
- Gently pinch the base of the cup to break the suction seal, then slowly and carefully pull it out.
- Do not pull on the stem as this can cause suction and discomfort.
- Empty the cup into the toilet or sink.
- Rinse with cold water and then wash with warm water using a mild, unscented soap.
- Re-insert, or if you have finished your period, boil the cup in water for 5-10 minutes to disinfect it before storing it for your next cycle.
