New to menstrual cups? We remember those days! We want to share some tips and tricks we would tell our BFFs if they were about to try a period cup for the first time. You’ve got this!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

👉 Read the instructions! You may be looking at this egg-shaped cup wondering how hard it could actually be. Good news: it’s not hard, you’ll just feel more confident once you pull out the instruction packet and have a good read. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

👉 Relax! This is incredibly important. If you’re tense, your muscles throughout your body will be tense too. Your pelvic muscles respond to stress very easily. Inserting a menstrual cup if you’re freaked out or worried will be no fun! Try inserting on a day that you don’t have your period. Don’t leave it in long-term, but insert, stand up and walk around so you can see if you got the knack of it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

👉 Use lube! Whether you’re on your period or not, if you’re dry down there, it’s going to make inserting a menstrual cup uncomfortable. Everything is just easier when it glides smoothly, right? We have our Pixie Cup Lube that is designed specifically for your menstrual cup and for your vagina. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

👉 Figure out the folds! Check out our highlights to see a few popular (and easy) folds. Figure out which one works with you the very best. You should hear or feel the menstrual cup pop open once you release it in your vagina. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
