🩸 How to Tell if a Menstrual Cup is Inserted Correctly

Menstrual cups are safe, eco-friendly, and convenient—but proper insertion is key to avoiding leaks, discomfort, and irritation. If you’re new to cups, it’s normal to wonder: “Is my cup in right?” Here’s how to tell.

---

✅ 1. You Shouldn’t Feel It

• Once inserted properly, a menstrual cup should feel completely comfortable.

• You shouldn’t feel pressure, pinching, or any foreign sensation.

• If you do feel discomfort, the cup may be too high, too low, or not fully opened.

---

✅ 2. Check the Seal

• Menstrual cups work by forming a gentle suction against the vaginal walls.

• After insertion, gently tug on the stem: if there’s resistance, the seal is working.

• No resistance or leaking? The cup might need to be rotated or reinserted.

✅ 3. Run a Finger Around the Base

• Feel the base of the cup (not the stem).

• If it’s smooth and rounded, the cup is open fully.

• If you feel folds or a flattened rim, it hasn’t popped open properly.

---

✅ 4. Positioning Is Key

• The cup should sit low in the vaginal canal, just below the cervix.

• Too high → may be uncomfortable or leak.

• Too low → may slip or be noticeable.

---

✅ 5. No Leaks (Most of the Time)

• If your cup is positioned correctly and sealed, leaks should be minimal or nonexistent.

• Occasional leaks can happen on heavy days, but frequent leaks signal a size, placement, or seal issue.

🌸 Bottom Line

A correctly inserted menstrual cup is:

• Comfortable, almost unnoticeable

• Fully open with a gentle seal

• Positioned low but secure

• Leak-free for hours

With practice, checking these signs becomes second nature.
