Menstrual Cup:
Follow these steps to insert your cup:
- Thoroughly wash hands before inserting the cup.
- Fold the cup in half so it creates a ‘C’ shape.
- Relax and push the curved edge of the folded cup into the vaginal opening.
- To remove the cup, relax the pelvic floor muscles, insert a finger and thumb inside and take hold of the base of the cup.
- Pinch the cup to break the seal making sure as to keep the cup pointing upwards.
- Slowly pull the cup out of the vagina and pour any menstrual blood into the toilet.
- Then rinse the cup under cold water and re-insert.
The BeYou Menstrual Cup can be left in for up to 12 hours. We recommend changing the cup every 4-8 hours. Please be aware, though rare, TSS, is a serious disease caused by toxin-producing strains of the staphylococcus aureus bacterium. In order to prevent TSS, or any other infection, ensure you follow the below cleaning hygiene advice when using your cup.
Size guide:
Under 25s who haven't had a child (or have had a caesarean) should try the 'medium' size.
Under 25s who have had a vaginal birth should try the 'large' size.
Over 25s should try the 'large' size.
Cleaning your cup:
Before using your cup for the time make sure to sanitise it. You can do this via one of the following methods:
- Boil the menstrual cup in a saucepan for 10 minutes.
- Place in a microwaveable container, submerged in water for 5 minutes in the microwave. Do not cover the container.
- Leave the cup to cool down and then pat dry before using it.
- Sanitise the cup in between cycles.
We recommend cleaning your cup with cold water & the BeYou Foaming Menstrual Cup Cleanser.
Cleanser:
To use, simply squirt a small amount of the cleanser onto the cup and lather with your hands to form a foam, turning the cup inside out where necessary. Once clean, rinse well with clean water.
