HOW TO INSERT

Insert and secure your period cup with confidence using this simple guide! For complete instructions, please refer to the manual in your cup box.

Remember to sanitize your cup by boiling for 5 minutes before first use and at the beginning of each cycle to prevent bacterial buildup.

STEP 1: Wash Your Hands

Before inserting your cup, wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and mild, fragrance-free soap.

STEP 2: Fold and Angle the Cup

Choose a comfortable fold for your period cup. Once folded, angle the cup slightly toward your vagina for smoother insertion.

STEP 3: Insert the Cup

Gently push the folded cup inside and release your finger once most of it is in, allowing it to unfold naturally.

STEP 4: Create a Seal

Ensure a leak-proof seal by either pushing the cup up, twisting the stem, or running a finger along the brim.

STEP 5: Check Comfort

A properly sealed cup should feel comfortable with no pressure or bulges. With practice, you'll feel more confident each cycle!

STEP 1: Wash Your Hands

Before inserting your cup, wash your hands thoroughly with warm water and mild, fragrance-free soap.

Removing & Cleaning

HOW TO REMOVE
  1. Use the stem as a guide to help locate your period cup.
  2. The period cup comes with finger indents towards the bottom of the period cup, before the stem starts, which exists to help you find where to pinch the period cup to release the suction.
  3. You can also run your finger along the brim of the period cup inside the vaginal canal and poke your finger onto the wall of the period cup to break suction.
HOW TO CLEAN

During your flow, make sure to rinse your period cup and, if possible, use mild, fragrance-free soap to wash the period cup before reinserting. 

To prevent potential infection, always wash your hands before removing or inserting the period cup. You can reduce the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), a potentially fatal disease caused by a toxin emitted from a common bacteria, by boiling your cup, washing your hands with soap and water before handling the period cup, emptying the period cup on a more frequent basis, and thoroughly washing the period cup after emptying.

    So comfortable! Not scary!

    I used a different brand diva cup before August and there is a stark difference with the comfort and ease of this product! I got it first try after reading the directions and had a great result with no leaks.

    Best tampons ever!

    Ive been using tampons for a while now but they would always leak and feel uncomfortable. It was hard to find a good quality healthy brand. There are so many options out there and it is overwhelming. I knew this brand existed and always wanted to try them because they are made by people who have a period and understand the women’s body! That made my decision so much easier! These are life changing! So comfortable, easy to use, and no leaks! I just wish my target had more options than just the regular and super. Im definitely a super plus girl!
