5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for proper insertion and removal of your menstrual cup:

Insertion:

1. Fold & Hold: With clean hands, fold the cup using the 'C' fold method (or punch-down fold), holding it firmly between your thumb and forefinger.
2. Insert: Relax your muscles. Hold the cup at an angle, aiming towards the base of your spine. Gently separate the labia with your free hand. Push the curved edge of the folded cup into the vaginal opening. Ensure you are relaxed during insertion.
3. Check Placement: Once inside, the cup should fully open. You can gently rotate it or run a finger around the rim to ensure it has created a seal. If correctly placed, you should not feel the cup.

Removal and Emptying:

1. Remove: After 8-10 hours (or sooner if needed), wash your hands. Gently tug on the stem to break the seal. Pinch the base of the cup to collapse it and carefully pull it out.
2. Empty: Empty the contents into the toilet.
3. Rinse: Rinse the cup with cool water.

6. Maintenance and Care

Proper care ensures the longevity and hygiene of your Sirona Menstrual Cup.

• Daily Cleaning: After emptying, rinse the cup with cool water. You can use a mild, unscented, oil-free soap or a dedicated menstrual cup wash for thorough cleaning.
• Sterilization: Before and after each menstrual cycle, sterilize the cup by boiling it in water for 5-10 minutes. Ensure the cup does not touch the bottom of the pot to prevent damage.
• Storage: Store your clean and dry menstrual cup in the provided breathable drawstring pouch. Avoid airtight containers, as this can degrade the silicone.
• Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scented soaps, as these can irritate vaginal tissue or damage the silicone.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, refer to the following common solutions:

• Leakage:
  • Ensure the cup has fully opened inside. Gently rotate it or run a finger around the rim to check for a seal.
  • Check if the cup is positioned correctly. It should sit lower than a tampon, but fully inside the vaginal canal.
  • Verify you are using the correct size. Refer to the size guide in the specifications section.
• Difficulty Inserting/Removing:
  • Relaxation is key. Try different folds (C-fold, punch-down fold).
  • Use water or a water-based lubricant on the rim for easier insertion.
  • For removal, ensure the seal is broken by pinching the base before pulling.
• Discomfort:
  • The cup might be too high or too low. Adjust its position.
  • If the stem causes irritation, it can be trimmed carefully.
  • If discomfort persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
