HOW TO WEAR A MENSTRUAL CUP

A menstrual cup is a reusable feminine hygiene product. It is a small, flexible funnel-shaped cup usually made from medical grade silicone that needs to be inserted into the vagina during menstruation to collect menstrual fluid.
The menstrual cup can hold more blood and is the best eco-friendly alternative when compared to other menstrual products available. You could wear a cup for up to about 12 hours.

Before you insert your menstrual cup: When your menstrual cup is used for the first time, it could be uncomfortable. But lubricating or greasing the rim with water or water-based lube or lubricant makes a wet cup a lot easier to insert. We also suggest wearing the cup during your period days as the period blood acts as natural lubrication. Please avoid dry runs.

2.Be relaxed and calm. You can also take couple of deep breaths to let your muscles relaxed.
3.Sit in squatting position /one leg on the commode/use the commode as a stool with flap closed(slightly in the front)
4.Pinch the base of the cup to release the suction and easily it will slide down. If you are unable to locate the base, without panicking just give a slight push using your pelvic muscles to push down the cup. The cup will easily slide a bit and you will be able to hold the base of the cup. The grip rings will help in holding the cup. Pinch the base to release the suction and then slide down the cup carefully so that the blood contents don't spill. Empty the contents , wash the cup and insert again. StoneSoup' s unique design cup is very easy to remove. It may take two to three cycles to get a hang of using the cup.
Cup care: The cup needs to be soaked in hot water in a small mug for about 10 minutes before and after the cycle. In between periods only washing with cold water is sufficient. After the period cycle, wash it clean and dry it before storing in the cloth pouch given and then inside the tin provided.
Please follow the youtube video where Dr Nishi Singh (UAE), a renowned microbiologist and consultant to the UAE government talks about infections and menstrual cups (menstrual cup price). The talk gives a clear idea as to why a cup need not be sterilised and also why women don't need any vaginal wash products.
