If you are using the menstrual cup for the first time, you may require a few attempts to insert it comfortably which is normal. Do not attempt to insert the menstrual cup during non-period days, because your cervix may be in a different position while you are menstruating which makes a favourable environment for a comfortable fit of the menstrual cup.
During periods, follow these steps to insert the menstrual cup:
Wash your hands properly. Wash your menstrual cup with everteen Natural Intimate Wash. Rinse it thoroughly before using it. You can also sterilize it in hot water.
Wash the exterior of your vaginal area with everteen Natural Intimate wash.
Sit in a relaxed squatting position. Try not to tense your pelvic muscles.
Fold your menstrual cup by punching down the opening of the cup and hold it with one hand with the open mouth-end facing the vaginal opening. With your other hand, spread the folds of the skin and find the vaginal opening.
Push the cup in about 45 degree angle towards your pubic bone. Now release the cup such that the fold of the cup opens.
Make sure that the cup is fully open.
Note: If the menstrual cup causes discomfort or leaks, then you have not positioned it properly. If you have normal-to-heavy flow flow, use everteen Menstrual Cup (Large) which can hold up to 30 ml of fluid.
