HSP Small Reusable Menstrual Cup (Pack of 1)

The small, flexible cup is made of silicone or latex rubber. Instead of absorbing your flow, like a tampon or pad, it catches and collects it. Just before your period begins, tightly fold the menstrual cup and insert it like a tampon without an applicator. Used correctly, you shouldn’t feel it. It’s similar to putting a diaphragm or birth control ring in place. Your cup will spring open (you may need to rotate it first) and rest against the walls of your vagina. It forms a seal to prevent leaks. The blood then simply drips into the cup.To remove it, you pull the stem sticking out the bottom and pinch the base to release the seal. Then you just empty, wash with soap and water, and replace. At the end of your cycle, you can sterilize your cup in boiling water. How do I insert my HSP Menstrual Cup? Always read the instructions that come along with your HSP Menstrual Cup Use prior to use. It is easier to insert or remove when relaxed. It only takes a few seconds to insert or remove and becomes simpler with repeated use. Always clean your HSP Menstrual Cup before first use. Wash your hands with gentle soap and water. Rinse your hands thoroughly and then rinse your cup under water as it’s easier to insert when wet. You can use a water-based lubricant if you’re a virgin or a first time user (if you prefer), or you can insert it in the shower. Fold your cup into a “C” shape by using both of your hands. Flatten two sides together and then fold onto itself. Using your dominant hand, hold just below the rim of the cup firmly. Spread your legs and separate your labia with your free hand. Make sure the round side of the “C” is facing up. From either a standing (with one leg up), squatting, or sitting position, make sure the “C” side of the cup is facing up, and then insert the cup into your vagina coming at a 45 degree angle (toward the back of the spine). Once the cup and the stem are not visible you can stop inserting.
