How do I use a menstrual cup for the first time?

Before you try your menstrual cup for the first time, take a moment to read the instructions inside the box, they walk you through everything step by step. Start by washing your hands and cleaning the cup according to the instructions. Once the cup has cooled, you’re ready to begin.

There are several ways to insert a cup, known as folding techniques (like the C‑fold or punch‑down fold). Each works slightly differently, so it’s all about finding the fold that feels most comfortable for you.

When it’s time to remove your cup, it’s simpler than you might think: gently pinch the base of the cup to release the suction, then wiggle it slightly as you lower it out. With a little practice, it becomes quick, easy, and totally manageable.
