With a little practice, it will become quick and easy; it may take a few cycles to get the hang of it. It is important to wash your hands well before inserting or removing your Claricup. - Removal of your Claricup Wash your hands before handling your Claricup. The Claricup should be emptied every 6 hours. Sit on the toilet and relax to remove your Claricup. The Claricup stays in place thanks to the vaginal muscles, and any tension will make removal difficult. To remove the menstrual cup, pinch the base of the Claricup to release the suction effect and insert your finger along the length of the Claricup. You may hear a noise when the Claricup separates from the vaginal wall. Gently pull down on the base to lower the menstrual cup. The stem of the menstrual cup serves as a guide. It will help you find the base of the Claricup. Do not pull on the stem. Pour out the contents into the toilet. - Clean your menstrual cup Rinse your Claricup before reinserting it or use a second Claricup and place your dirty Claricup in its Claribox (sometimes where you are located does not allow you to discreetly clean your Claricup). - Disinfect your Claricup If possible, disinfect your menstrual cup before each insertion.

Instructions for use
• Wash your hands thoroughly before handling the product.
• Sterilise before use. Boil the cup for 3 to 5 minutes, dry and wait for it to cool before inserting.
• To insert: Bend the cup to insert it in the vagina. The most common shape is a 'c' shape, grasp the cup with your fingers so that it holds this shape during insertion. Try to find a position that makes insertion easier (squatting, placing one leg on a high object or lying down). Use lubricant or moisten the cup to facilitate insertion.
Push all the way in, once inside, the cup will unfold to form a secure leak-proof area.
• To remove: Squeeze the bottom of the cup, empty the contents into the toilet, rinse, clean and dry.
*Maximum usage time without removing the cup is usually about 12 hours. After this time boil the cup in a saucepan or specific sterilising pot for 3 to 5 minutes. Keep it in its box or bag until your next period.
Pharmaceutical Advice
Menstrual cups are made of a flexible, soft, hypoallergenic material that respects the natural vagina flora and prevents dryness and irritation. They collect more blood than tampons or pads but must be emptied and washed regularly and should not be used for more than 12 hours. Choosing the menstrual cup has several advantages. In the long term it is cheaper than using tampons and pads, it does not cause dryness and maintains the vagina’s natural moisture. The hypoallergenic material used to make menstrual cups does not produce any kind of reaction or allergy and does not smell as it is not in contact with the air. Of course, it is an eco-friendly and planet-friendly option.
It is important to choose the right menstrual cup size. They are usually classified as S, M and L, but some brands choose letters and others indicate their size according to their capacity. The size may vary depending on your flow (whether it is heavy, medium or light) or whether you have had children. To help you choose, if you have given birth the best option is an L, if you are over 30 and have no children you could choose a size M and if you are younger, in general, your size will be an S.
It is compatible with IUDs and other contraceptive methods.
Regarding sex, all menstrual cups are suitable for non-penetrative sex, although there are now some menstrual cups in the market designed to use during penetrative sex.
