Using the menstrual cup for the first time

Welcome to the world of the menstrual cup!

We know that this change can make a big difference in your life and your health. We can tell you with certainty that this will be great for you and you won’t regret making this change for your comfort, safety and economy. We invite you to read on to learn the most important facts about the menstrual cup and everything you need to know to start using it effectively and easily.

The first thing you need to know about the menstrual cup is how it works. It is a container made of medical silicone that is inserted into the vaginal canal and collects the blood that comes with menstruation. Due to its design, the cup adapts to the walls of the vagina and strengthens its muscles. At the same time, it guarantees comfort when moving and adapts to different body positions without losing its shape, causing discomfort.

Moreover, the material protects your body from infections and unpleasant odors thanks to its easy cleaning and sterilization. It is important to note that because it is not made of stainless material, it is much harder for bacteria such as staphylococcus to grow and attach, protecting you from dangers such as toxic shock . As for savings, you can stop spending monthly pads and tampons month after month; the menstrual cup has an average lifespan of 6 years. That’s good news for the environment and for your wallet, because you’ll recoup your investment in less than 6 months – great news!

How should I use the menstrual cup?

Now you’re probably wondering how to use your menstrual cup. Don’t worry, it’s very simple! The first thing you need to do is sterilize it: soak it in boiling water for a few minutes to kill all the bacteria on the surface (do this even if the menstrual cup is new). Once the cup is up to temperature, press the two sides of the cup together until they are completely flat and fold the cup in half, creating a U or C shape. Carefully insert the cup into your vaginal canal, using a little water-based lubricant if necessary. It is best to lean forward slightly to facilitate insertion of the cup, which will relax the vaginal walls and prevent discomfort.

Another consideration when inserting the menstrual cup is to wash your hands thoroughly before touching the cup to avoid infections and fungi that can cause itching or irritation. Finally, remember that you can help the cup open properly in the vaginal canal by touching the rim with your finger and breaking the vacuum created by pressing on the rim and pushing a little. Rest assured, the cup will not get lost in your vaginal canal. And now we hope you found all this information useful and wish you a wonderful start with your menstrual cup.
