Period Menstrual Cup: Common Difficulties & Solutions for Ease of Use

 

Making the switch to menstrual cups can be beneficial, but there is a learning curve like with any new product. These eco-friendly period products do so many great things, but there are a few challenges most users encounter during their first time using them. Let’s check out the common issues users face with Period Menstrual Cup and their solutions.

Difficulties With Menstrual Cup and Solutions

        Insertion Difficulties

It can be a little bit challenging to insert the menstrual cup, especially for beginners because they use the wrong folding technique.

Solution: You can try out the C-fold or punch-down fold to see what works for you. Relax your pelvic muscles and use water-based lubricant to make it less painful.

        Leaking Difficulties

Many first-time users experience leaks which can be discomforting.

Solution: You need to run the finger around the base of the cup after insertion to ensure the cup has opened fully and sealed against your vaginal walls. Twisting the cup and sometimes even a gentle tug can help pop the cup open.

        Removal Difficulties

Sometimes it can be hard to remove a menstrual cup if it is suctioned strongly or stuck.

Solution: You must break the suction and gently pinch the cup's base in order to pull the cup out for easy removal. This also makes it easier to grip and remove.

        Public Restroom Use Difficulties 

The issue that most users face is emptying and rinsing the cup in a public restroom. 

Solution: Shecup has the right solution for you in these cases, which is Shecup wipes. You can use the Wipes to clean the cup and reinsert it in emergencies. 

        Odor Issues 

If the cup is not cleaned properly or left in for too long, an unpleasant odor may occur. 

Solution: You need to rinse the Period Menstrual Cup after every 8 to 12 hours. At the end of each cycle make sure to sterilize your cup by boiling it in water for 5-6 minutes to get rid of the odour.

        Finding the Right Fit

There are many menstrual cup sizes and shapes to choose from, so it can be confusing when you are looking for the one that is right for you. 

Solution: You need to consider your age, flow, and if you’ve ever given birth. When you buy a menstrual cup from Shecup, you can check the necessary information like size dimensions, and

holding capacity under the product description.

        Stains on the Cup

A Reusable Menstrual Cup can get stains over time. 

Solution: You can soak the cup in a solution of hydrogen peroxide and water or rub it with baking soda. It also helps keep the cup clean by regular boiling between cycles.

Summary 

Knowing the difficulties and solutions makes it easier for new users to get familiar with a Reusable Menstrual Cup. With time and practice, you will be able to use it easily. Shecup has the best product for beginners, the Shecup L, which is also recommended by experts for ease of use.
