How to insert:
At first glance, many people think that how does this "huge" stuff get in there.
Good news that it is very easy!
In the short videos here, you can see how small the Aqua Cup menstrual cup can be folded.
Relax and descend into a semi-squat position with a slightly wider spread.
Here you can see how you can e.g.
into a "needle" shape so narrow fold the cup so you can easily put it on:
Or here is another popular and quick method,
the"C" folding:
Experiment to see which form works best for you!
Carefully push the folded cup into the sleeve. The top of the chalice should be approximately one index finger's distance from the vaginal opening, when you let go. Then it will open and the flexible silicone rim will fit perfectly to the shape of your vagina. (Yes: the sleeve widens inside like a funnel, so it can even reach a diameter of 3.5 cm.)
MYTH: the vagina is not a straight tube, as many imagine, but bends back inside and widens. For this reason, it cannot be "expanded" by the devices designed for it: (e.g. geisha ball, pessary, silicone cup tampons, etc.
From the opening do not push higher than approx. the distance of the index finger! That way, it will be very easily accessible when you take it out.
Fix the vacuum by slightly turning it to the side or pulling it back, and check: if the bottom of the tip of the cup forms a nice regular circle, then it fits perfectly to the wall of the sleeve! Otherwise, the presence of the cup is the same as that of a tampon, so you will not feel it, since there are not many sensory nerves in the inner wall of the vagina.
After a few practices, feel free to cut the stem completely! That way, nothing sticks out of the sleeve to get dirty and disturb your comfort.
You can menstruate without panties or even in a thong, because the presence of the cup will be completely imperceptible and invisible!
Don't worry, the cup will always be within reach even without the stem! You can push it lower with a stronger abdominal press, as the silicone surface can slide slightly up and down in the vagina.
