Hello lovely readers! If you've chosen to embrace more eco-friendly and body-positive period care, you're likely familiar with menstrual cups. These nifty, reusable little wonders can transform your period experience. However, like any new change, they can come with a few bumps along the road. Fear not! We're here to help you troubleshoot some common menstrual cup issues, ensuring your journey to hassle-free period care is as smooth as can be.
Getting the Right Fit
One major key to successful period cups experience is ensuring the right fit. Menstrual cups come in various shapes and sizes to suit different needs. Our MomDaughts Menstrual Collection offers a variety of options, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned user.
If the cup feels uncomfortable or tends to leak, it might be due to incorrect sizing. Check out our MomDaughts' Short Tailed Menstrual Cup for a snug fit, especially for those with a shorter cervix. Our MomDaughts' Double Tail Menstrual Cup also provides a secure fit with an easy-to-remove tail for those who need it.
Insertion Woes
An incorrectly inserted cup can be a common hiccup for beginners. It's all about the technique! After folding your cup, ensure it fully opens inside you. If you're facing trouble with a firm opening, consider using a collapsible cup like the MomDaughts' Collapsible Menstrual Cup With Cute Storage Case that makes insertion a breeze.
When inserting, try different positions, taking deep breaths, and using a water-based lubricant to ease the process. Finding the right technique will take time, but patience and practice are your best allies.
Managing Leaks
Experiencing leaks can be frustrating. But don't worry, it's usually easy to fix. Check if the cup has fully opened and sealed against the vaginal walls. Ensure there are no folds or dents in the cup.
For dependability during heavy flow days, consider pairing your cup with a menstrual disc for extra protection. Our MomDaughts' Menstrual Disc can provide additional security by sitting higher in the vaginal canal.
Cleaning Your Cup
Ensuring your period cup is cleaned correctly is crucial for maintaining hygiene and extending its longevity. After each use, rinse your cup with warm water and a gentle soap. Sterilize it after every menstrual cycle using a sterilizer like the MomDaughts' Foldable Sterilizer Cup.
In addition to cleaning your cup, remember to store it properly in a breathable pouch, preventing odors and maintaining flexibility.
Final Thoughts
Menstrual cups are an incredible step towards eco-friendly and comfortable period care. Each person's experience is unique, so finding what works best for you is key. With a bit of patience and practice, you'll master the art of using a menstrual cup before you know it.
