Pretty Woman Medical Grade Silicone Menstrual Cup

-Boil your cup for 5-10 minutes before using the Cup for the first time-Thoroughly wash your hands and the Cup for 15-20 seconds with warm water or mild, oil & fragrance-free soap-Before inserting the Cup we recommend you try both fold options to see which one is right for you. Once you have mastered your folds you are ready to insert your Cup. U-FOLD-Press the sides of the cup between your fingers & fold it in half to create U. Simple as that!PUSH DOWN FOLD-With your index finger on the top rim of the cup push the rim down into the center of the cup base to create a triangle.-While sitting, squatting or standing with one leg up on a ledge, gently separate your labia with your free hand. Holding the folded cup between your thumb and forefinger, push the curved edge of the folded cup into your vagina horizontally.TIP-Aim the folded  Cup towards your tailbone at the base of your spine, away from the cervix.-Once the Cup is in your vagina, grip the base of the cup, not the stem & turn the cup one complete rotation, 360 degrees, in either direction. This will create a seal.-To prevent leaking, once inserted, try sliding your finger along the outside of the cup & your vaginal wall, pressing gently on the sides of the cup. This should open the cup fully, creating the seal and will make rotation easier.-Before removing your  Cup you will need to clean hands & for those first-time users, some patience. Get comfortable, sit, squat or stand with one leg up on a ledge & gently separate your labia with your fingers. With your forefinger and thumb, gently pull on the stem until you can feel the base of the cup.- pinch the base of the cup. This will break the seal. Gently move the cup from side to side and pull down, this action will remove the cup from your vagina.-Boil your cup at the end of your cycle. After proper cleaning, place your  Cup in your carrying pouch, in a safe place, where it can stay until your next period
