How to remove a menstrual cup? 4 practical tips
Removing a menstrual cup is really very simple, you just need to master the right technique. Many women have already done it, so you can do it too! Below you will find a number of practical tips that will make removing the cup a lot easier:
- Relax your body
One of the most important tips for removing a menstrual cup is to completely relax your body. When you are tense, your vaginal muscles can tighten, making it more difficult to remove the cup. By relaxing, you make the process much easier. Breathe in deeply and assume a comfortable position, such as sitting on the toilet, squatting, or with one leg on the edge of the bathtub. These positions help you gain better access to the menstrual cup and make it easier to remove the cup.
- Make sure your hands are clean
Hygiene is very important when using a menstrual cup. Always wash your hands thoroughly before removing the cup to prevent bacteria from multiplying and causing infections.
- Carefully break the vacuum
The menstrual cup works by creating a slight vacuum between the cup and the vaginal walls, which prevents leakage. Before removing the cup, it is important to break this vacuum. Use your fingers to grasp the base of the cup. Gently squeeze the bottom to break the vacuum. You may hear a soft sound or feel the suction decrease.
- Removing the menstrual cup
Once you have broken the vacuum, you can easily remove the cup. Gently pull on the handy removal loop, slowly moving the cup outwards. After you have removed the cup, empty its contents into the toilet. Then rinse the cup with water and clean it thoroughly with our cup soap or use the sterilizer + steamer for extra hygiene.
