What does the menstrual cup feel like?

When a menstrual cup is placed properly, you don’t feel the cup at all. You don’t even detect that you have the cup in. Ideal!

If you experience pain after inserting the cup, it is a good idea to take the cup out carefully because the cup may not have been inserted properly. Then you can reinsert the cup. Unlike traditional cups, the Beppy cup is inserted deeper, against the cervix.

Discomfort or pain after inserting the cup may be because the cup opens too quickly. Before the cup has reached the correct position. It is important to keep the cup squeezed together as long as possible and only let go when you have inserted the cup as deep as possible.

The Beppy Cup is made of Medical Grade Silicone, which is soft to the touch. The hardness of the cup is hard enough to fold out after insertion. This sometimes takes a little practice. While practicing, it is important that you are relaxed.

You know the Beppy Cup is properly placed when you don’t feel it or when the cup is not irritating. You insert a cup a little less deeply than a regular tampon. It is important that you check if the cup has expanded. You can do this by moving one of your fingers around the cup. Also, you know the cup is properly placed when the bottom is flat. Or when you don’t feel any violent bumps. After you insert the cup, it is important that you tighten the loop a little bit. When you feel resistance you know that the cup is well placed. Then you can let the cup sit comfortably.

The Beppy cup is suitable for everyone. It will always be the case that one woman likes a regular tampon better than a Beppy sponge or a menstrual cup.

The biggest advantage to menstrual cups is that they do not negatively affect the vainagle environment. So a cup can prevent vaginal complaints or reduce discomfort. Also, only rarely are women allergic to medical silicone (this is what the Beppy cup is made of).

When you take the cup out, it is important to break the vacuum. You can do this by slightly pressing the side of the cup. When the vacuum is broken, you can pull the cup down a little and then gently take it out. Taking it out is very simple thanks to the handy removal loop. Because this is not a traditional cup, the stalk does not bother you.

Cleaning the cup is not very complicated. It is important to wash your hands first. Then you can rinse the cup well with cold water inside and out. You have to make sure that you also clean the hard-to-reach parts well. Think about the anti-leak flap and the ventilation holes. For proper cleaning, you can use a pH-neutral soap such as Beppy Soapy. Next, you can massage the cup well with the soap and then you can rinse the cup thoroughly. You can repeat this step if needed.

Before using a cup for the first time, it is important to sterilize it properly. You can do this in a pot of boiling water or with the Beppy Steam & Sterilizer.

If you are out in public and need to clean your cup because you forgot the second clean menstrual cup, it is convenient to purchase Non-Alcoholic Baby Whipes or by simply carrying a bottle of water with you. This is because you can just clean the cup with this. It won’t get super clean of course, but clean enough so you can insert the cup again. When you get home, it is wise to change your cup for a sterilized clean cup as soon as possible.

The most convenient thing, of course, is to have a second clean and sterilized cup with you. That way you can always change them easily.
