Oh Bloody Chums! Menstrual Cup

1. Sterilize - wash and boil the menstrual cup before first use and between cycles.

2. Fold - fold the menstrual cup in half, creating a U shape or a C shape, to make it easier to insert.

3. Insert - relax and find a comfortable position (such as squatting, standing with one leg raised, or sitting on the toilet). Then, gently insert the folded menstrual cup into the vagina, aiming towards the tailbone.

4. Release - once the cup is inside, gently rotate it to ensure it has fully opened and formed a seal with the vaginal walls.

5. Check - after a few hours, check to see if the cup has leaked or if it needs to be emptied.

6. Remove - gently grasp the base of the cup and twist it to break the seal. Then, gently pull the cup down and out of the vagina.

7. Empty - empty the menstrual fluid into the toilet and rinse the cup with soap and water or a specialized cleaning solution.

8. Reinsert - after cleaning, reinsert the cup and repeat steps 4-7 as needed.
