Boil some water in a pan and leave the cup in it for a few minutes. To insert, the cup must be folded. To do this, the top edge is pressed in so that it folds slightly. You fix it between your fingers and do not insert it too deeply. You should not feel it. Once in the body, the cup unfolds so that a light vacuum is created. This ensures that the cup remains comfortable, does not slip away and catches all the blood. After a maximum of 12 hours, the cup must be removed again. Gently pull the stem until you can gently squeeze the bottom of the cup. This will release the vacuum and release the cup. You can now remove it, empty it, rinse it and reinsert it if desired. When your period is over, sterilize the cup again.
