5 Useful menstrution cup tips from women

Choose the right brand

There are many menstrual cups on the market, but it is important to choose a reliable brand. Cups made of medical silicone are very popular because they are safe for your body, remain hygienic and last a long time. The Beppy Cup is a favorite of many women, thanks to its flexible design and high quality medical silicone, which ensures optimal comfort and fit.

Use proper technique for insertion and removal

Inserting and removing a menstrual cup can seem a bit tricky at first, but after some practice, it comes naturally and is as easy as tampons. Fold the cup into a C-shape to make it easier to insert, and make sure it is positioned properly so it does not cause discomfort. Removing the cup may also take some practice. Gently squeeze the bottom of the cup to loosen the vacuum so you can remove it without difficulty. Women who have used the menstrual cup for a while often say that the process ends up being much easier than they thought at first.

Clean the cup well

Because a menstrual cup is reusable, it is important to clean it properly. After each period of use, clean the cup with warm water and mild soap; you can use our Natural Cup Soap for this purpose. This prevents bacteria from developing and ensures that the cup remains hygienic. Women who have been using the menstrual cup for a longer period of time also recommend boiling the cup out regularly or using a sterilizer. In our assortment you will find the Steamer+Sterilizer for the best cleaning!

Give your body time to adjust

As with any new experience, it takes some time to get used to using a menstrual cup. It’s normal to feel a little unsure at first, but give yourself time to get the hang of it. Many women say that after a few practices, they gained a sense of confidence and felt much more comfortable with their menstrual cup. It is important to be patient with yourself so you can enjoy all the benefits the menstrual cup offers.

Don’t be afraid of leaks

Many women worry about leaks when they first use a menstrual cup. But don’t worry! The chance of leakage is minimal if you insert the cup correctly. You need to change a menstrual cup much less often than a tampon, which also reduces the chance of leaking. However, if you’re not quite sure yet, you can wear a panty liner in the beginning for extra security. After a while, you’ll find that you no longer have to worry about leaking!
