As you are using the menstrual cup for the very first time, then you need to stay comfortable because it will make you feel uneasy in the beginning. Greasing the bowl will be helping you a lot in making the whole process smooth. As you do put the cup, you should lubricate the rim with a water-based lube (lubricant). A wet form of the menstrual cup is much easier to insert.
- You should wash your hands thoroughly.
- Now you will be going to apply water-based lube to the rim of the cup.
- You have to tightly fold the menstrual cup in half, just using holding it in one hand with the rim facing up.
- Now make the insert of the cup, and rim up right into your vagina like you would a tampon without an applicator. It should be sitting just like a few inches below your cervix.
- As the cup is in your vagina, you should rotate it. It will spring out as you do open to create an airtight seal that stops leaks.
- You should not be feeling the menstrual cup if you have inserted the container correctly. You would be able to move as well as jump and sit down comfortably.
You can think about to wear a menstrual cup for 6 to 12 hours that would be all depending on whether or not you have a heavy flow. This means that you can often make the use of the cup for overnight protection. You should always make sure that you do remove your menstrual cup by the 12-hour mark. If it becomes full just as before then, you have to empty it ahead of schedule to avoid any the leaks.
