MOON CUP (alternative to sanitary towels)
 
Tips for first time menstrual cup users
Read the instructions thoroughly. Wash your hands.
 
Try to locate your cervix.We all have differently positioned cervixes and the cup should be placed below the cervix, if not, it will most likely leak. Try to locate your cervix with your finger, you should feel for a slightly firmer area of tissue and position your cup under it..
 
Until you feel 100% comfortable with your menstrual cup, you might want to wear a pantyliner so you don't have to worry about leaking.
 
Trim the stem of the cup.If you can feel the stem and find it uncomfortable, after using the cup a couple of times, you can cut it shorter. However, do not trim the stem whilst the menstrual cup is inserted! Practice before your period. No one expects you to be an instant menstrual cup pro, so we recommend you practice inserting and removing your cup before you get your period.
 
Use lubrication.You can use water or a water-based lubricant, to make it easier.
