What NOT To Do With Your Menstrual Cup: Essential Dos and Don’ts
Hey there, cup crusaders! ?
Menstrual cups have been changing the game for period care. They’re eco-friendly, cost-effective, and can be incredibly comfortable. But, like any other product, it’s essential to know what you shouldn’t do with them. Let’s dive into some essential DON’Ts to make sure your cup experience remains smooth and hassle-free.
1. Don’t Use the Wrong Size
Remember, just like shoes, one size doesn’t fit all. Choosing the wrong size can lead to leaks or discomfort. If you’re uncertain about which size is right for you, check out our previous blog post: Finding Your Perfect Menstrual Cup Size.
2. Avoid Using Harsh Chemicals for Cleaning
While it’s crucial to keep your cup clean, steer clear of using strong soaps or chemicals that could linger on the cup and irritate your delicate parts. Instead, opt for mild, unscented soap.
3. Don’t Leave It In Too Long
Even though menstrual cups can be worn for longer than tampons or pads, don’t forget about them! It’s recommended to empty and rinse your cup at least every 12 hours.
4. Avoid Random Storage
Once your period is over, store your cup in the breathable bag it came with. Don’t toss it into a random drawer or an airtight container – it needs air circulation to stay fresh.
5. Don’t Panic if it Gets Stuck
Relax, take a deep breath! It’s unlikely your cup is truly stuck. Don’t yank on it roughly. Instead, use your pelvic muscles to push it downwards, pinch the base to break the suction, and then remove it gently.
6. Never Insert Without Folding
Don’t attempt to insert the cup without folding it first. There are various folding methods, like the C-fold or punch-down fold, so find the one that’s easiest for you.
7. Avoid Sharing Your Cup
Even if you’re close with someone, don’t share your menstrual cup. It’s a personal item and should be used by one person only to avoid any potential health issues.
8. Don’t Assume It’s Like Tampons
If you’re transitioning from tampons, remember that the placement of a menstrual cup is different. It sits lower in the vagina. So, if you’re feeling it, it might be inserted too high.
Wrapping Up
Remember, while the ONA-CUP is crafted from premium FDA-approved silicone, offering unparalleled comfort in the menstrual cup market, all cups require proper care and handling. Following these guidelines will ensure you maximize the lifespan and efficiency of your ONA-CUP.
