Embracing the convenience and eco-friendliness of a menstrual cup over traditional sanitary napkins and tampons is a powerful choice. This guide will empower you to master the art of positioning the cup within your vagina with precision and ease.

Mastering the correct technique and cleaning process for a menstrual cup is a journey of learning and growth. This guide will equip you with the knowledge and skills to become a pro, even if you're starting from scratch.

The correct way to Use the Menstrual Cup:

Make sure to have your hands clean before handling the cup.

Insertion: Learn a folding method that you're comfortable with, as there are several folding techniques available, like:

1. C-fold: Flatten the cup and fold it in half. This forms a "C".
2. Punch-down: Press one side of the cup down into the middle, making the other rim pointed (this is great for easy insertion).
3. Labia: Pinch and bend out one side of the rim & press into the other.
4. 7-fold: Flatten the cup and bring one end down to the other to make a "7".
5. Diamond: Bring one side of the rim out towards the stem and pinch the other rim together.
6. Origami: Form a slim oval and fold the sides over each other to create it.

Make the convenient fold and position yourself, preferably sitting or squatting.

Gently insert the folded cup into your vagina and make sure it's fully open. If it feels good, you're all set to go.

Removal:

When removing it, carefully pinch the base, not the stem, to break the seal. This makes it easy to pull the cup off your body.

Cleaning:

After dumping the blood, rinse it thoroughly with water. You can also use a mild, unscented soap if you prefer. Once the period ends, the cup needs proper sterilisation. You can do this by boiling the cup in a pot of water for 5-10 minutes or by using a sterilising solution designed explicitly for menstrual cups.

When considering all this, decide now to purchase your first AUURA menstrual cup. Remember, choosing the right cup size for your body is essential, so be sure to check the cup size by analysing your flow. With your new cup in hand, you're ready to embark on the journey of a lifetime.
