How to Insert
The Easy-Does-It Cup

Easy in, easy out. Beginner-friendly all the way.

1. Sanitize

2. Fold

Fold your cup using one of the folds shown below:

1. Sanitize

Sanitize your cup before use by boiling it in water for 5-7 minutes. Repeat this process between each cycle.

Wash your cup and hands before
and after each use.

 

2. Fold

Fold your cup using one of the folds shown below:

Push-down fold

Push the side of the cup with the finger indent down and into the cup.

c-fold

Flatten the cup and bring the ends together so the rim forms a “C” shape.

7-fold

Flatten the cup and bring one end down so the rim looks like the number 7.

3. Insert

Sitting, squatting, or with one leg raised, gently separate your labia with your free hand.

Relax your pelvic muscles and guide the cup into your vagina, slightly upward and toward your tailbone. Keep the cup folded until it is entirely inside of your vagina.

 

4. Release

Gently release your folded cup, allowing it to pop open and seal to your vaginal walls. Holding the base, rotate the cup to help it seal. If it’s difficult to rotate, it is sealed correctly. You can also tug gently on the stem—if you feel a slight suction, it is sealed correctly.

 

5. Pinch

Sitting, squatting, or with one leg raised, find the base of the cup with your thumb and forefinger. If you cannot reach it, relax, and use your pelvic floor muscles to push down on the cup. Do not pull on the stem.

 

6. Remove

Once you feel the base of the cup, pinch the bottom to release the seal. Hold the base of the cup, gently move it side to side, and guide it out. Keep the cup upright to avoid spills. Empty into a toilet or sink, then wash with water and pH-balanced soap, like the Cora Cup Cleanse. Re-insert or store for later.

So easy to use and I LOVE that it’s sustainable and eco friendly. Win win. No leaks and very comfortable too!

priscilla t.

My experience with the Cora Cup was so much better than I expected. I definitely recommend this cup to all people who menstruate!

paige l.

I was surprised at how comfortable the Cora Cup was during the day and night, including for several dance classes.

stephanie h.

The Cora Cup has been super helpful to me as a swimmer because I no longer have to worry about my tampon leaking or forgetting to change it during practice.

ALICIA H.

I can’t believe I waited so long to order a Cora Cup. So much more comfortable than other period products. It’s been a real game changer for me. I’ll never go back.

AMY H.

As a first time cup user I was very intimidated, but I absolutely love it now! Having to change only every 12 hours is amazing when you work, are a student, or whatever else! I don’t even feel it in.
