We have a few more great tips for menstrual cup newbies!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

👉 Wait for the pop! Depending on what fold you choose, you should feel the pop of your menstrual cup springing open! This is absolutely crucial. This magical pop is the only thing standing in the way of a carefree period day or one of horror films. Just kidding… but close. Making sure your period cup pops open is vital to creating a seal and keeping your day leak-free.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

👉 Empty your menstrual cup in the shower! Whether you shower at night or in the morning, this is a great period hack. You don’t have to worry about a crazy mess because everything washes down the drain. We love keeping our Pixie Cup Wash in the shower - it’s gentle on your period cup and on you!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

👉 Pinch don’t pull! So, if your menstrual cup is working and kicking period woes like it should be, then it’s going to have created a really tight seal keeping it leak-free. If you try to pull your period out at this point, you’ll basically get nowhere and place unneeded pressure on your cervix and pelvic muscles. Be sure to break the seal! Do this by pinching the base of your menstrual cup or by sliding a finger up the side. You should feel the release or hear the sound of air escaping. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

👉 Size does matter! We’re all shaped differently and one menstrual cup doesn’t fit all. Thankfully there are several sizes and styles. Here at Pixie Cup we have our small, large and extra large menstrual cups depending on your flow and cervix height. Our Pixie Cup Luxe is specifically designed for women with a low cervix. If you are questioning what size menstrual cup is best for you or how to measure your cervix, check out our story highlights!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
