How do I insert a menstrual cup?
It’s frustrating when you’re having trouble doing something, and someone says, “Oh, but it’s SO EASY!”. When you insert a menstrual cup for the first time, it can be challenging. At FemmyCycle, we want to show you how easy it really is.
Hint: Forget what you saw in middle school.
Those plastic models of the female reproductive system they showed you in school? They’re a little misleading. They give the impression that the vagina is a straight up and down sort of organ. Well, it isn’t. You’re vagina is slightly angled regardless of whether you’re sitting or standing, so inserting the FemmyCycle or any other menstrual cup straight into your body is not only uncomfortable-it’s nearly impossible.
FemmyCycle inserted into the vagina. Notice that the vagina is angled. That means inserting the FemmyCycle or any other menstrual cup will be a lot easier if you hold the cup almost parallel to the floor during insertion.
Okay. Now let’s talk about “The Fold”. People make a really big deal out of this, and we’ve seen a few interesting variations, but the C-fold is the one we like. If you have a FemmyCycle, look for a the little notch in the rim. That’s where the center of the fold is going to be. Now just fold the FemmyCycle in half so it resembles the letter C. That’s all there is to it. Now, holding the cup almost parallel to the floor, slide it in at an angle. If you have it in correctly, you should not be able to feel the cup. If you can still feel it, push it in a little more.
The C-fold is a popular way to prepare the FemmyCycle for insertion. This method is commonly used for other cups as well.
Learning to insert a menstrual cup is totally worth it!
Menstrual collection cups really are a safe, COMFORTABLE and eco-friendly alternative to pads and tampons. If Every woman used a menstrual cup, we could keep nearly 20 billion pads and tampons out of the world’s landfills each year. And because menstrual cups are reusable, they help save money, too!
