How to Remove a Menstrual Cup- Solving The Real Dilemma?

Most women feel unsure about inserting or removing menstrual cup safely. So, let’s address removal first before insertion.
A Step-By-Step Guide On Removing a Menstrual Cup
Though menstrual cups provide leak-free comfort during periods, many still search for the right way of removing menstrual cup. First, wash your hands with soap. After that, choose a comfortable position—sitting on the toilet or squatting often helps. Insert your thumb and index finger until you feel the base of the cup. If it has a stem, gently pull it to reach the base. Pinch the base to break the suction seal, then gently pull downward while holding the base to remove the cup without spills.
Tips for Safely Removing Your Menstrual Cup
If you’re still unsure about removing menstrual cup, consider these tips:
- Practice before your period: Try inserting and removing the cup in the shower a few times a week. It will ease the transition when your period starts.
- Stay relaxed: Tension makes removal more difficult. A calm body helps release pelvic floor muscles, making removal easier. Don’t worry about messing up or spills at first—it’s a learning process.
- Break the seal: Gently press the base of the cup with your thumb and index finger to release the suction. You may hear a slight suction sound—this is normal and essential to prevent discomfort or leakage.

Practice Makes Perfect
For some people, removing a menstrual cup is the trickiest part of using a period cup. However, note that with time it gets easier. Just ensure to wash your hands with mild soap thoroughly before removing your cup and clean the cup properly after you remove it, so it’s ready for your next usage.

Menstrual Cups and Public Health: Implications for Menstrual Hygiene Management
Menstrual cups are reusable and cost-effective, lasting for years. This makes them an excellent choice, especially in low-income communities where access to sanitary products is limited. They offer a hygienic, sustainable solution for menstrual health.
Going In Public With It
Even if you’re confident in removing menstrual cup at home, doing it in public spaces requires extra preparation.
- Before heading out: Clean and sanitize your cup thoroughly. Insert it in a private setting before leaving.
- Timing is key: Learn your flow pattern. You may need to remove and empty the cup every 4–8 hours on heavy flow days. Look for restrooms with private stalls for more comfort while removing menstrual cup.
- Stay discreet: Carry a breathable pouch for cup storage. Include wet wipes or a small bottle of water for cleaning if a sink isn’t nearby, and bring backup supplies just in case.
