instructions:

• Normally it takes a few menstrual cycles to learn to use the menstruation cup, but some women succeed in using the cup right from the start. Please read the comprehensive instructions sent with the cup carefully.
• Sterilise the cup in a large amount of water according to instructions provided before use. The cup should be in boiling water for at least 2 minutes.
• With washed hands, fold the cup in half, and then in half again.
• Guide the folded end into the vagina past the pubic bone and then allow to open fully, rotating a few times to ensure a cup has unfolded and sealed against the internal walls.
• To remove, break the seal by squeezing the bottom part of the cup, hold upright to avoid spilling the contents. Never pull the cup down in an open position, holding it only by the tab!
• Rinse the cup in cold water, then wash carefully in hot water with mild and perfume-free washing liquid or soap, and re-insert it. From time to time it is okay to wipe the cup with toilet paper and reinsert.
• Wash the Diva Cup menstrual cup carefully after its last use during your period and store it, properly ventilated, in its storage bag.
• NOT to be used during post-natal bleeding due to the vagina being inflamed from childbirth.
• You may also like to use reusable menstrual cloths as a backup for heavy flow days.

which size to choose:

• The Diva Cup is available in three sizes, most woman can use either size, but one may be more comfortable than the other.
• As a general rule, the size 2 is best for a heavier flow, the size 1 for a lighter flow and model 0 for those new to periods and 18 years or under.
• Muscles can lose elasticity with age, and unless you are very active at strengthening your core muscles (through activities such as yoga or pilates), the size 2 cup a better choice for most adult women.
• If you have ever been pregnant, due to hormonal changes the size 2 is also recommended.
• The size 1 Diva Cup may suit you depending on the position of your cervix. With a thoroughly washed finger you can try if you can reach your cervix during menstruation. If your cervix sits very low, it is better to choose the smaller size menstrual cup.
