You’ve probably heard of the Beppy menstrual cup: a durable and comfortable option that makes your menstrual period a lot easier. Besides offering more convenience, it’s also an eco-friendly alternative to tampons and pads. But you may be wondering: how exactly does removing a menstrual cup work? No worries, we have the answer for you! In this blog, our experts share 3 practical tips for removing your menstrual cup in a safe and easy way.

4 practical tips

Removing a menstrual cup is really quite easy, you just need to master the right technique. Many women have gone before you, so you can do it too! Here are some practical tips that will make removing the cup a lot easier:

1. Relax your body

One of the most important tips when removing a menstrual cup is to completely relax your body. When you are tense, your vaginal muscles can tighten, making it more difficult to remove the cup. By relaxing, you will make the process much easier. Breathe deeply and assume a comfortable position, such as sitting on the toilet, squatting, or with one leg on the edge of the tub. These positions help you gain better access to the menstrual cup and make removing the cup easier.

2. Make sure your hands are clean

Hygiene is very important when using a menstrual cup. Therefore, always wash your hands thoroughly before removing the cup to prevent bacteria from multiplying and causing infections.

3. Break the vacuum gently

The menstrual cup works by creating a slight vacuum between the cup and the vaginal walls, which prevents leakage. Before removing the cup, it is important to break this vacuum. Use your fingers to grasp the base of the cup. Gently squeeze the base to break the vacuum. You may hear a soft sound or feel the suction decrease.

4. Menstrual cup removal

Once you have broken the vacuum, you can easily remove the cup. Gently pull the convenient removal loop, moving the cup out slowly. After you remove the cup, empty the contents into the toilet. Then rinse the cup with water and clean it thoroughly with our cup soap or use the sterilizer + steamer for extra hygiene.
