Inserting menstrual sponge: 5 tips

Our experts offer 6 tips for inserting our Beppy tampon:

Maintain a relaxed posture

Inserting a menstrual sponge is easiest when you are relaxed. Try the following positions:

Sitting on the toilet.
Standing with one leg on the edge of the bathtub.
Lying on the bed with knees raised.

If you are tense, your pelvic floor muscles can make insertion difficult. Breathe gently in and out to relax your body.

Use adequate moisture if necessary (for the Dry variety)

If you choose the Dry Beppy Soft Comfort Tampons, a little water or a drop of lubricant can help insert the sponge more smoothly. This makes the process more comfortable and prevents irritation. The Wet version already comes with a lactose gel, which makes insertion easier, especially if you are not familiar with a menstrual sponge before.

Follow a simple insertion technique

Inserting a menstrual sponge is simple if you know how to do it:

Wash your hands thoroughly.
Fold the sponge slightly so that it narrows.
Insert the sponge gently with your fingers. Make sure it’s deep enough so you don’t feel it.
Check that the sponge is properly in place by moving for a moment. If you don’t feel it, it is seated properly.

Note the wearing time

A menstrual sponge can be worn up to 8 hours without changing in between, depending of course on the amount of bleeding. We recommend using the same length of time you would normally wear a traditional tampon or sanitary pad, so you can easily discover what is feasible for you.

Removal without worry

Many women worry about removing the menstrual sponge, especially since it has no visible string. Fortunately, it’s simple: Use the handy little loop to gently pull the sponge out. Make sure you are relaxed so you have easier access. Wash your hands after use and discard the sponge in the trash. It can be that simple!
