You will need to practice inserting and removing the cup, but once you have mastered the technique, it becomes easy and comfortable.\n\u003cbr\u003eBefore using the cup for the first time, you must sterilize it: wash your hands and fill a small saucepan with enough water to cover the cup, then bring it to a boil.  Submerge the cup completely in the water for 3-4 minutes. Remove the cup from the water, and it is ready to use. We recommend repeating this process after each cycle to keep your cup perfectly clean.\n\u003cbr\u003eHOW TO INSERT\n\u003cbr\u003eStep 1. Wash your hands thoroughly and assume a comfortable position. Recommended positions are: squatting, sitting on the toilet, or standing.\n\u003cbr\u003eStep 2. Fold the cup (Fig.1). There are two ways to fold the cup:\n\u003cbr\u003eA – Push both sides of the cup toward each other and fold the cup in half so that it forms a \"U\" shape.\n\u003cbr\u003eB – Place a finger on the rim of the top of the cup and push it inward so that it forms a triangle.\n\u003cbr\u003eStep 3. (Fig. 2 and 3) While holding the folded cup in one hand, gently spread the outer labia with your other hand. Insert the cup into the vagina toward the tailbone until the stem is level with the vaginal opening and does not protrude. Do not push the end of the stem more than 1.5 cm into the vagina. The cup sits lower than a tampon. Once you have placed the cup, release it; the cup will open and conform perfectly to your vaginal wall.\n\u003cbr\u003eStep 4. (Fig. 4) To ensure that the cup is in the correct position, rotate it 360º in any direction by grasping it at the base (above the stem). The cup should rotate easily if it is properly placed. To ensure that the cup has opened properly, you can insert one finger into your vagina and gently press against one side of your vaginal wall to create space for the cup to open fully. If the stem causes irritation to the vaginal wall after being properly inserted, you can remove the cup and trim the stem slightly. If the stem is trimmed completely, it will be more difficult to remove the cup.\n\u003cbr\u003eHOW TO REMOVE\n\u003cbr\u003e1. Wash your hands\n\u003cbr\u003e2. Assume a comfortable position (standing, sitting on the toilet, or squatting). Insert your index finger and thumb into the vagina and locate the stem or the base of the cup.\n\u003cbr\u003e3. It will be easier to pull the cup out by gently contracting your lower abdominal\/pelvic floor muscles.\n\u003cbr\u003e4. Gently pull on the stem so that you can firmly grasp the base of the cup.\n\u003cbr\u003e5. Gently pinch the base of the cup to break the vacuum. When removing the cup, hold it at an angle and move it back and forth.\n\u003cbr\u003e6. Hold the cup vertically once it is completely removed from the vagina so that the contents remain inside the cup. Empty the cup in the toilet afterward.\n\u003cbr\u003e7.Wash the cup with clean water so that it is ready for the next use. Make sure that the holes at the top are thoroughly cleaned. You can also use unscented soap. If there is no clean water nearby, you can dry the cup with toilet paper or a tissue and wash it with clean water later.\n\u003cbr\u003eOTHER TIPS\n\u003cbr\u003eThe menstrual cup must be emptied at least every 12 hours. We recommend washing and cleaning the cup 2 to 3 times daily after emptying it. Once you understand how the cup works and how your flow is, you will quickly learn how often you need to empty your cup. Thoroughly wash, clean, and dry your GENIAL DAY® cup after each menstrual period. Make sure you also thoroughly clean the suction holes. Store the cup in the included cotton bag.\n\u003cbr\u003eYou can use the cup at night, while exercising, and in the swimming pool.\n\u003cbr\u003eYou do not need to remove the cup to urinate or have a bowel movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWarnings\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePREVENTIVE WARNINGS\n\u003cbr\u003eUse the cup according to the instructions and only during menstruation.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe cup must be removed before having sexual intercourse. Remember that the menstrual cup is not a contraceptive or protection against sexually transmitted diseases.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe menstrual cup is for intimate use, so it should not be shared.\n\u003cbr\u003eClean the cup with unscented mild soap and warm water. Do not use scented soap, oil-based soap, Castile soap, alcohol, antibacterial soap, hand soap, vinegar, tea tree oil, wet wipes, dishwashing liquid, peroxide, bleach, or other harsh chemicals.\n\u003cbr\u003eDo not use oil-based lubricant to insert the cup.\n\u003cbr\u003eNever store the cup in a plastic bag or airtight container.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe menstrual cup can be used together with an IUD or a pessary. Consult your doctor about this before using the cup.\n\u003cbr\u003eIf you experience any adverse effects, stop using the cup and consult your doctor.\n\u003cbr\u003eIf your cup shows signs of damage, it is advisable to replace it. Throw the cup away in the trash. NOTE: the color of the cup may naturally discolor slightly over time. This does not affect the performance of the cup.\n\u003cbr\u003eKeep the menstrual cup out of reach of children and animals.\n\u003cbr\u003eHow often should you replace the menstrual cup\n\u003cbr\u003eRegularly inspect your cup for signs of deterioration, such as a sticky or powdery layer, discoloration, odor, and\/or irritation. Since it is a personal hygiene product, you should generally replace the cup after 1 year. However, it is up to the user to decide when they want to replace their cup.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eManufacturer \/ Distributor\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGentleday Benelux, \nBleiswijkseweg 37c, \n2712PB Zoetermeer","brand":"Gentle Day","offers":[{"title":"1 Piece","offer_id":50953821487434,"sku":"846128","price":37.18,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0924\/5497\/7866\/files\/846128.jpg?v=1761899860","url":"https:\/\/ithomepharma.com\/en\/products\/gentle-day-menstruatiecup-s-1-stuks","provider":"AtHomePharma","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
