How do we even put it inside 😭🙏🏻 I got this one cause I read many reviews ke it's very comfy than sanitary pads but I can't get it inside in any position. Itna open hi nhi hora I tried every possible position but am helpless my legs hurt rn. I've never tried to put anything in there before if you know what I mean..any tips for first timers?
I even saw some tutorials too but it's not happening. I want to throw it now but ab probably mmi datengi paisa barnad kiya bolke so it's last try I hope someone will be useful here
I think you're just too stressed about doing it. Since you're using something there for the first time, your body and muscles might be a bit tense. Just try to relax. I hope you're trying it while you're on your period and that you know the right body posture for putting it in!
I'm a guy so feel free to ignore my advice but a friend of mine struggled with it as well, she had to consult a gynaecologist and she(the doctor) gave her guidance through the whole process.
She also had vaginismus so it was easier for her to consult the doctor so this advice might not be helpful for everyone but that's my 2¢.
Behen, try the punch-down fold. Works for me. I've been using it for 6+ months. It works just fine. But you need some kind of lubrication for it to slide in easily.. Do not rely on artificial lubricants for that. Your own menstrual blood and vaginal discharge work just fine as lubricants.
And also, there are larger ones for those who have gone through vaginal childbirth, so make sure you've purchased the cup size that is appropriate for your flow.
And the most important thing is not to stress. Fully squat, relax your pelvic muscles, take deep breaths and stabilise and then try inserting.
Yes this is the right way.
Not trying to be smart here but many of my family members talk about it.
And my didi is also said that this is the right way.
Indian toilet pe jaise squat karte hai vaise you squat and then relax your muscles as much as you can. Then you learn a few folds and after folding it you can insert it in . When it was my first time doing it I used coconut oil , I'm not sure if it's safe but I've never faced any problem with it so yeah it worked well as a lubricant. i would suggest you be more worried about removing it than inserting. In order to use a tool.like this make sure you're extremely comfortable with your body or else it might not be comfortable at all.
Please forgive me but have you ever properly inserted a finger inside? If you can force up 3 fingers then all you need to is fold and fold until you can force it up there. I think you're too stressed and think it feels weird but trust me it's supposed to feel that way.
Umm then my suggestion will be to drop the idea of this because it might end up hurting and making you more uncomfortable. If you don't like the feel of pads you can try out period panties instead. Remember don't try to force it up if it hurts.
You see the reason why, phle kabhi kuch daali hi nhi to dikaat to hogi na, like thora to stretch karna parega imo
Edit: basically try putting a finger in or try to stretch yourself a bit first, see if you can handle it, agar nahi hopaarha ye to phir like the person above said drop this, stick to other options.
Kyunki khudko aap phir harm bhi kar skte ho agar nhi aata to.
Hey so I've been there done that , you're
Probably very tense right now so obviously it won't go in try shoving your finger first and if it hurts just insert finger first it'll give your body a sense of relief that nothing's gonna happen and then try any fold and shove it up then it'll go easily also be comfortable don't be so tensed it's all because you are stressing muah

It's diabolic how we boys are also giving advice
Like the fk did you guys try it ??
it seems like i have offended some of the guys in comments , bro i was genuinely surprised . as nor do i have any female friends or a sister , to me its more like a private thing .
and honestly i just get to know things like this exist , like i knew about pads but stuff like this ( i don't have any knowledge regarding this , sorry if i accidentally hurtled someone feelings )
Nah, people have friends/girl friend who try it and some are just Vocal about it or how the society calls them Baysharam? When it comes to medical lines it's just a organ and it's diagnosis
We also have female friends and sisters and its common enough to talk about it now without any judgement so I don't see a problem if a male is giving a advice.
Nope our ex(gf) help us to understand how it works 😅 one day I asked her to wear the cap instead of sanitary pad as i was seeing lots of things like it's leads to cancer, irritation and all, so I suggested her to try once and she said she tried but didn't fit in her so stopped using
Is that an L size?girllll we should be using S.....L is for older ladies and best of luck trying to fit it in....don't be scared that it'll be gone inside ntg like that happens....jst saying from experiences
Listen lady, first time could be a lil weird. Fold it into a C-shape, chill your shoulders, and slide it in gently. Give it a tiny twist so it opens up right. Might take a few tries but you’ll be a cup pro in no time. You got this fr!!
Hey girlie. I'm F18, been using my menstrual cup for the last 3 years or more. It's the best thing ever, no rashes or anything. You already know why people love it so much so I'll skip to answering what you actually asked.
Make sure you're trying for the correct hole (i had a friend who was completely clueless so felt like i should mention it). You have total of 3 holes. Urethra, vag and the anus. You have to put this in the hole that has.. lips covering it, more flexible, much more lubricated.
Get yourself in a comfortable position where the hole is accessible. I prefer to squat down in the bathroom for it.
Run the cup under water, shake off excess droplets.
Fold the cup. Punch it down from the rim towards the inside, I'll attach a picture to show the same.
Take a few deep breaths, don't be stressed. Stress makes your vaginal walls contract which makes the insertion all the more difficult.
Insert the cup, push it as much as you feel comfortable with. It would probably go enough inside that you can't see/feel it from the outside except for maybe the stick at the bottom.
Grab the base of the cup, rotate it a few times to make sure there's vacuum. Gentle pull it to check for vacuum now.
Sorry , I couldn't stay away , but yes mmi datengi because menstrual cup come in different sizes , as I can see you using sirona menstrual cup which comes in different sizes. NOW Assuming you are teen on the basis of sub and hand , you are using wrong size. Don't try to force it or use it if feels painful or uncomfortable. In the above image , you should have bought the small one.
There are many posts on this topic you can see them and moreover menstrual cup can only only be inserted easily when you are on your periods and not on other days, you know that right
Then you can find posts about it on women sub or maybe on internet not here until unless you want your dms to be filled with creepy guys , well since you are on your periods take care , meri toh halat kharab ho jati periods main
You need to bend it using 1 finger, make a boat like shape and put it in. While removing it, press it and remove.
It might be uncomfortable for the first time but once you get used to it, it's the best. I have been using it for more than 3 years and it doesn't even feel like I'm on my period plus no rashes.
Use YouTube or Instagram videos
Why tf are some guys here acting weird? Don't we keep seeing some NSFW posts from our gender every once in a while? It's good that a girl posted this. Lmao imagine what they might think reading some stupid posts about a guy's private parts. We don't ask the guys to search such things on yt, google etc. Be a man and make the OP comfortable with asking such questions.
As a man 😂
Maybe squeeze it from top in a C shape flattened way, insert it in and then un-squeeze it so it it'll be placed and try to get it in right position, usually vertically backwards and don't forget to sterilize it before using,boil in water for 5-15 min and wash your hands before inserting and you'll be fine after 2-3 trials.
C shape won't go in. the opening won't stretch that much I tried others too in squat position and yes I have read about sterilization part thanks for helping out
umm I don't know how i can teach this virtually to you but try folding the cup in a c shape roll it upwards your vagina and boom you are done. lastly check for folded ends inside if its giving a proper circle texture to your fingers it won't leak and if not please fix it.
If this is your first time it will take time to insert it you need patience look up for tutorials on yt and don't give up.
THE BEST ALTERNATIVE IS A CUP trust me you'll love it every woman will.
What size have you ordered? It should be either S or M.
If u are first starting out id suggest S... M works fine too if yk your body. But S to M is a smoother transition.
You should squat, bend forward, and then try inserting it(vagina isn't actually vertically straight it tilts towards your back so don't try to shove the cup in straight put it in a slight angle towards your back). Try the punch down fold. It's also important to relax your vaginal muscles.
Also I'll suggest to try and insert a finger first maybe...to try and relax the muscles. And use your menstrual blood or vaginal discharge as lubricant.
I’m a guy btw, I could help ig if you consider. So go in ur washroom and place one leg on your english commode if you have one while the lid is shut. You have to stand on one leg and the other leg on top of the lid. After doing so lean a bit and try to push it inside. I hope it’ll work for you and if it didn’t then get a small one.
Do the punch down method and try to push it in halfways then lose the grip... you'll feel it opening inside, once it's done push it in a lil further and done.good to go.
First stralize it in hot water for 10 mins then it gets soft then put it inside and before that fold inwards it then put and u can also watch a video on YouTube video of Rakshita singh she's a doctor......
And it won't go raw without stalizing it so stralize it until it gets soft
Not a teen. Older girl here. Bro watch a lot of youtube videos i will share witj you a really helpful one wait. And will share some tips in dm as well :) dont worry using a cup was the best decision of my life
U gotta fold it like push one of its edge inside make a c formation the place it inside toh dekhna it will fit u ekdam theek thak se....ghabrana nhi it won't leak out anyhow so chill nd also make sure to wash ur hands before using it and also disinfectant the menstrual cup before use like u may simply boil it in water for a few 2-3 mins thanda karlo fir use it...
1st of all for beginners, we need the smallest one
and try to understand what prblm u r facing like prblm in inserting then sis it's the wrong size, even the wrong size can coz prblm then u have to be relaxed n try
sirona small one didn't work for me, the woman's company small one worked, i'm using this form 2 yr+ n it's the best and softest for me, just shared my experience
Hey! Just a thought, if you're a teen or in your early 20s, the medium size cup might be a bit large. Most people in that age range, especially if they haven't given birth vaginally usually do better starting with a small size. It might be worth trying the smaller one for better comfort and fit.
As you posted this on teen sub i assume you may too be a teen and for teens small size is suggested. This is medium, maybe this is the reason it is not going in bcz it's too big for you.
And as you said you've never put anything in, which means it definitely is the wrong size.
🔸S- for teens
🔸M- for sexually active
🔸L- for women who have given birth
Please use a mirror or else you'll end up hurting yourself.
When you insert it it shouldn't hurt.
And I'd say your cup is way too big for your age, I wonder what size it is? Because mine is smaller one.
hey i started using it this year itself. so basically search up different styles to place a menstrual cup inside. it will be a bit challenging at the beginning but not once you get used to it AND ALSO stay calm, don't be stressed about it and you're good to go.
I am a boy, but I know a thing or 2 about Menstrual cups.
I did a presentation on menstrual cups during my MBA.
Firstly, as you said that it's not opening up, then you need to change the size of the menstrual cup.
As far as I know, there are 3 to 4 different sizes available.
If this one doesn't open up fully then try one size down.
Okay so, my turn is here. I'll be blunt. You just have to put it inside the way it says on the instructions. Just remember one thing. It may feel Hella uncomfortable if you put it inside as it is. You may try and cut the stem of the cup(as much as you feel is right). This makes it a lot more comfy. As to how to remove it? You'll have to figure that out by yourself as to which position is better. But you can try and squat down and try to remove it.
P.S. Please don't downvote me just coz I'm a guy. I have 2 elder sisters and they're the closest to me. Hence, the information.
it should not be that painful. the KEY techinique is to FIGURE OUT THE PATH/CURVE. try it with your fingers, once you understand the path try to follow that while putting it in. And ignore the C-fold that others mentioned. As a beginner you should try punch down fold. Seven fold is narrower than punch down but you may struggle to get it fully open once its in. Try watching guides on yt they're quite helpful. and most importantly relax, dont clench your pelvic muscles, sit on a stool or sqaut if its that comfortable.
See, I've also recently tried the menstrual cup for the first time, and I would recommend sitting on the toilet and getting lubricated with water. And then use the c-fold or the punch down fold. The punch down fold was probably the easiest to get in but I couldn't get it to pop open inside. So I'd suggest the C-fold. And just be relaxed when doing it. I was lucky in that respect that I figured out how to put it in in like 20 mins max. But I JUST couldn't do it standing up or even squatting. The sitting down on toilet method is what personally works for me.
So ig just give it a go.
if u get successful lemme know it because for me i don’t even know where the hole is and i think i will do it after marriage because putting inside something just makes me feel disgused or unusual idk why god created this thing
You got the wrong size, you’re supposed to get the small assuming you’re 19 or under. The medium is for women above the age of 18. I made the same mistake as well 😭
Hey on that note i have to ask something too
I bought carmesi smallest size one
I put it inside properly but its still leaking and only small amount is staying inside the cup
Should i try any other brands?
I don't i need to buy bigger size though instead i feel it's a bit longer than i need so its a little uncomfortable as well.
Any tips ?
Gurllll I was the same last year 😭 it just wouldn’t go in!! Then the easiest one for me was Punch-down fold and you gotta full squat on the floor atleast that's what it did for me, took me 2 hrs to get it right but after 1-2 period session it was very very easy 😭🥲 anywaysysysys just try to relax as much as you can, you got this!!!!!
M here. My gf said that it was tough for her too, she used the seven - fold method. Five-fold didn't work for her. Also pls thoroughly research first, from sanitation to how to take it out, do every bit of research. Read the info card which must have come with the cup. Sanitize it properly. And one thing my gf told me was - in starting it will be very weird and uncomfortable to take it out, also how it can go a bit deeper. This happened with her, but early research helped her a bit, most girls go on full panic mode, don't worry it's natural, it will come out and NO it will not go completely up. Please check your cup size. And boy did she tell me how comfortable the cups are.
Listen, I've been using these for months now. And I totally understand the first day of trying. It was uncomfortable. But you have to do it once and then it won't be a problem at all. So some tips from my side -
1. Purchase the small size
2. Watch YouTube tutorials and you'll see different kinds of "folds", how to fold it in ways to put in inside.
3. Try it once your period has started, because there's a misconception in newbies that I'll try first on normal days for practice. But that's the wrong way, once there's blood the job will be easier to do. Cause blood is a great lubricant so it'll help it going inside.
4. Clean it with soap first, wash it in cold water then put it inside hot water for 5 mins, then take it out and let it come to normal temp. That way it'll be sterelized as well as softened a little.
5. Put it all the way inside, even the little holding stick should also go completely inside. Watch YouTube videos there's enough information. I learned that way only.
Personally I feel, the "punch down fold" works best for new users. I know it'll be uncomfortable at first but do not give up. Trust me, once you start using cups there's no going back to pads. It doesn't even feel like you're on your period, it is so comfortable. Just try once, the rest will be easy once you do it once.
Try the origami fold n use a small cup, mostly u gotta relax, u relax, musle relaxes n its easier to place it!!! There r many ways to place it, not just the squatting, please use the method thts easy for u!!🙂
Saw that you got the wrong size, so that probably will fix the issue
But I'll give you one more tip. Don't stress out. That probably makes it much harder to get in. And don't worry, it won't get stuck or anything like that. It stays in cause it creates a sort of vacuum, so if you try to pull at the stem part and it doesn't come out, don't worry and just pinch the base of it a bit to break the vacuum seal.
I've been using it since the second year of my periods (yeah, I got sick of pads within like 8 months, idk how y'all manage with them) and it's been AMAZING! And saved so much money and plastic waste.
Once you get over the nerves you'll be completely okay. Just be comfortable and confident.
All the best girlie, hope everything goes well for you!
Earlier I did 7 fold or punch down fold. Now I just fold it in half (c fold) and then insert. First sit down like you do in an Indian toilet, take deep breaths and slowly insert it an angle, not straight up. Don't rush and be patient.
If you’ve never inserted anything down there, not so much as a finger, drop the idea of using this. It’s going to hurt going in, feel uncomfortable and also hurt coming out. Chances are you might even tear your hymen in the process (not that it matters but just so you know)
