Information about using the Mooncup

Information about using your Moon cup is given in the table and in the text below.

 

• Find a comfortable sitting, standing, squatting or kneeling position. Relax and take your time.
• Press the sides of the Mooncup menstrual cup together and then fold in half again.
• Hold the folded sides firmly together between thumb and forefinger of one hand. The single curved edge should be away from your palm.
• Stay relaxed. With your free hand gently separate the labia and push the curved edge of the folded Mooncup menstrual cup up into the vagina.
• Insert the Mooncup menstrual cup fully following the natural angle of your vagina. Aim towards the small of your back, not the top of your head. You do not need to push the Mooncup menstrual cup up high into the vagina, the vaginal muscle will keep it in place.
• Once the Mooncup menstrual cup is fully inserted grasp the base of the cup, not the stem, and rotate it once to ensure that it has fully unfolded.
• Most women find that the stem is too long. You will need to remove the Moon cup menstrual cup and cut the stem to your own requirements.
• It is important to keep your Moon cup clean. Wash it regularly with mild soap and hot and water. It can be cleaned more thoroughly between periods.
  

Please read the Usage Guide carefully before using your Moon cup menstrual cup for the first time.
