How to Use it

 

Correctly inserted, the Mooncup is so comfortable that you will forget it exists. It may take a little practice at first as you need to find the angle and position that is right for you.

 

Once you have perfected it you will be amazed at how simple the Mooncup is to use. You will need to empty, rinse or wipe and reinsert your Mooncup every four to twelve hours depending on your flow. The fluid remains inside the cup, and the process is not messy or uncomfortable.

 

The Mooncup can safely be used overnight and is great for all sports, swimming and travelling.

 

Step-by-Step

Find a comfortable sitting, standing, squatting or kneeling position. Relax and take your time.

Press the sides of the Mooncup menstrual cup together and then fold in half again. Hold the folded sides firmly together between thumb and forefinger of one hand. The single curved edge should be away from your palm. Stay relaxed. With your free hand gently separate the labia and push the curved edge of the folded Mooncup menstrual cup up into the vagina. Insert the Mooncup menstrual cup fully following the natural angle of your vagina. Aim towards the small of your back, not the top of your head. You do not need to push the Mooncup menstrual cup up high into the vagina, the vaginal muscle will keep it in place.

Once the Mooncup menstrual cup is fully inserted grasp the base of the cup, not the stem, and rotate it once to ensure that it has fully unfolded.

 

Most women find that the stem is too long. You will need to remove the Mooncup menstrual cup and cut the stem to your own requirements.

 

It is very important to keep your Mooncup menstrual cup clean. It should be washed daily and thoroughly boiled or soaked in sterilising solution between periods.
