How do I put in a menstrual cup for the first time? I’ve never used a tampon nor had sex.

This is totally doable but definitely requires getting up in your vagina. (Sorry to be graphic, but you really do have to feel comfortable sticking fingers in your vagina and getting bloody.) However, once it’s in, it’s good for 12 hours!

To start, I would recommend first looking for the right size and fit (check out this website). Then, relax. Clean the cup and lay down on the floor with your legs spread (or, if you’re able, with a leg up in the shower – easy cleanup!). Give yourself time to fold the cup, insert and feel around to make sure it has expanded. Be patient – it can take some getting used to. But again, once it’s in, it’s great!
