Steps on How to Use a Menstrual Cup?
Step 1: Insertion
Clean hands first. Fold the period cup (try a C-fold or punch-down), relax your muscles, and insert at a gentle angle. Once inside, let it open one little twist, and your menstrual cup is sealed and secure.
Step 2: Removal
Pinch the base, break the seal, and rock it side-to-side as you remove. Avoid pulling the stem directly. Sure, it feels new at first, but so did cycling and now it’s second nature.
Step 3: Cleaning
Empty, rinse, and reinsert. Between cycles, boil your silicone menstrual cup or use a sterilizer. Simple, safe, and fuss-free.

FAQ about Menstrual Cups
Is wearing a menstrual cup painful?
No, wearing a menstrual cup is not painful if you choose the right size and insert it correctly. The cup is made from medical-grade silicone, which is soft and flexible. For beginners, slight discomfort can happen during the first few uses, but with proper folding (like the C-fold or punch-down fold) and relaxation, insertion becomes easy. Over time, most users say it feels like nothing is there.
Is a period cup 100% safe?
Yes, a period cup is safe when used as directed. The Aarya Care menstrual cup is FDA-approved, made from biocompatible medical-grade silicone, and tested for skin irritation, vaginal comfort, and durability. Unlike tampons, it doesn’t disrupt your natural pH or cause dryness. As long as you clean and sterilise the cup properly, it’s a safe and reusable option trusted by gynaecologists.
How do you know when your sanitary cup is full?
You can tell your menstrual cup is full when you feel a slight heaviness, a downward pull, or notice the cup shifting. Typically, this happens between 8–12 hours depending on your flow. On heavier days, you may need to check sooner. A full cup might also break its seal and cause light spotting, which is a sign to empty it. With experience, you’ll learn your personal flow rhythm.
Can I sleep with a menstrual cup?
Yes, you can sleep with a menstrual cup. It provides up to 12 hours of leak-proof protection, making it ideal for overnight use. Unlike pads that shift while sleeping, the silicone period cup stays secure and comfortable. If you have a very heavy flow, you may want to empty it before bed or first thing in the morning.
How many hours can I wear a menstrual cup?
You can wear a menstrual cup for up to 12 hours, but the duration may vary depending on your flow. On lighter days, many people forget it’s even there and comfortably go the full 12 hours. On heavier flow days, it’s best to empty it earlier, around 6–8 hours, to avoid leaks and stay comfortable. The first few cycles are about learning your own rhythm, so pay attention to how full the cup feels. Each time you empty, make sure to wash and reinsert the cup properly to maintain hygiene and vaginal health. Compared to pads or tampons, this gives you longer-lasting protection and fewer bathroom trips.
Do gynaecologists recommend menstrual cups?
Yes, gynecologists recommend menstrual cups because they are safer for vaginal health compared to pads and tampons. Cups don’t absorb natural moisture, which means less dryness and irritation. They also reduce the risk of rashes, infections, and toxic shock syndrome (TSS). Being eco-friendly, cost-effective, and reusable for years, they’re a doctor-approved choice for sustainable period care.
In which hole to insert a menstrual cup?
A menstrual cup is inserted into the vaginal canal. It does not go into the urethra (where urine passes) or anus. To insert, fold the silicone cup (C-fold or punch-down), insert it at an angle toward the tailbone, and let it open to form a seal. Once inside, it simply collects menstrual fluid until you remove it.
Does a menstrual cup leak when full?
Yes, a menstrual cup can leak when it is full and overflows, especially on heavy flow days. Other common reasons for leakage include an improper fit, the cup not opening fully to form a seal, or being positioned incorrectly in relation to the cervix. A properly placed menstrual cup rarely leaks, but once it reaches capacity, you may notice slight pressure or spotting; that’s your signal to empty it. To prevent leaks, check the cup’s fullness more often during your first few cycles, and if needed, choose a higher-capacity menstrual cup for heavier days. Over time, you’ll learn your personal flow pattern and be able to manage it without worry.
How to empty a menstrual cup?
To empty your menstrual cup, always start by washing your hands. Pinch the base of the cup to break the suction seal, then gently wiggle it out. Avoid pulling on the stem, as that can cause discomfort. Tilt the cup and pour the collected flow into the toilet. Some people also prefer to pee while the cup is removed for extra comfort. After emptying, rinse the cup with clean water or wipe it with tissue if water isn’t available before reinserting. Between cycles, make sure to sterilise the cup for complete hygiene. Avoid using harsh soaps, as they may irritate delicate vaginal tissue.
Can I swim with a menstrual cup?
Yes, you can swim with a menstrual cup. Designed to be worn internally, it forms a secure, leak-proof seal that collects menstrual fluid without spilling even during swimming or other physical activities. Unlike tampons, there are no strings showing, and unlike pads, there’s no risk of sogginess or shifting. Whether you’re swimming, exercising, or even diving, a silicone period cup stays comfortable and discreet. Pools already contain chlorine, which helps reduce infection risks, making swimming with a menstrual cup safe and hygienic.
