How to insert a Menstrual Cup

If are thinking about buying a menstrual cup, you need to know the basics or maybe you already have one and are having issues. Regardless, here are some tips for inserting your cup⬇️

1. Sterilize
It’s important that your cup is clean. You don’t have to sterilize your cup every time you use it, but you should at the beginning of your period. Later just wash your cup in between removal and insertion.

2. Position
Trying to insert your cup in a different position can help it go into place smoother and with less discomfort if this is your first time. I recommend squatting in the shower for first-timers.

3. Folds
The C Fold will help with getting the cup to fully open, while the punch down helps have less discomfort or you can try the triangle fold.

4. Lube
The most underestimated tool for inserting your cup. It helps make inserting your cup more comfortable and helps the cup “pop” open or fully open.

5. Try again
You most likely won’t get it your first time, so remove the cup and try again.

I got my cup delivered yesterday. I decided to try it out bc many girls told me that it's more comfy than a pad. But looking at the comments, now I'm freaking out.

lol I researched this just to see what it looks like. I couldn’t dare try this. ❤😊

I have been trying everything possible with my cup to open and on my last period I accidentaly tryed something that is making my cup open every single time on the first try- put it in your favorite fold, insert HALF way- so half of the cup is still outside of your vulva. Release it and wiggle it to open. Now just pust it by the pin inside to the place where you place it usually. It is much easyer to let it open while it is still partially outside so you can play with it with fingers. Hope it helps ❤

Using water as lubricant is also fine. Does the same trick for me

I want to try a cup, but I can’t fit anything up there (other then a finger and maybe a small tampon) and when i’m at school, it’s gonna be messy?

I tried but it doesn't go inside it is to much painful 😖

[Sax_player]

I’m on day 3 wanted to try a cup got one s couple day before I started couldn’t get in in finally did tonight 🎉

How do I stop mine from snapping open prematurely? Whenever it loudy snaps open and causes pain in the process, all of my effort to relax my pelvic floor muscles are thrown down the drain.

Thankyou so much .. This is the first time i'm using menstrual cup.. I'm not afraid to use it, but it's little bit complicated to place that cup correctly .. So ur video is very useful .. Thankyou ❣️🤝

My area is very sensitive it hurts whenever I try to put a tampon or menstrual cup in I don't know if I'm doing it wrong or it's just sensitive

[kenzielacosta]

One leg up in the shower or even outside of the shower. Twisting and bearing down or pushing the middle part of the bottom of the cup....and it goes up higher than you think. Not all the way up in the vaginal fornication but just at the opening. If you are brand new try a firmer cup or if you are sensitive try a less firm cup and try different folds before you actually start your period. But use lube because it's different when you don't have all that moisture to help the cup glide easier. Your first day on your cycle will most likely need to be changed more frequently. And wear a back up pair of period undies or a pad reusable or disposable.
Goodluck!

I've tried using the cup but it always leaks. Idk if I'm not inserting up far up enough. I have to have wear a pad for backup but it's so frustrating.

[aparnabiju]

[RR-gnqf]

Plz help me i need knowledge about it that tell me after how much time cup should be removed?? & It inserts completely or we need its outer stick outside???

[Magical_Trash]

I just bought my first one 😬 I've been trying to get it to fit, but i can't even get it past the opening 😭 im hoping either of these positions will work

[Highlyblessed_favored]

How many times do you need to take it out? Im asking for heavy flow girls. It looks like a dozen trips to the washrooms. Then fear of touching blood even if its my own, when you remove the cup doesn't it spill in back inside you and also all over your hands? 💀 If i had wore it, i would really want to clean inside me with water or I'd feel so dirty. I'm not trying to criticize by the way, I am just thinking of how this will never work for me. Personal opinion.

[renuadillzii]

This is my fourth month trying but the cup is folded inside too...
It is not unfolding....
It's so frustrating

[karkador]

the suction gives me so so so much pain. discs are much better
