Take your time and practice using your cup until you feel comfortable.
When you're ready to use, fold the cup using a fold that feels most comfortable for you. Insert the folded cup into your vagina with the same method as a tampon. The cup should sit lower than a tampon inside your vagina but should feel comfortable, with the stem fully inside. Once the cup is inside, it will open and create a light suction to prevent leaks. You can use your finger to check it is fully unfolded, and twist the cup if you need to.
The cup can be used for up to 12 hours, but you should empty your cup when you feel you need to. To remove the cup, gently pull the stem of the cup downwards until you can reach and hold the base of the cup. Pinch the base to release the suction and take it out. You may need to push down to help reach your cup. Empty the contents of your cup into the toilet and rinse. Re-insert cup if needed.
