Removing a menstrual cup properly requires caution and some techniques to avoid leaking, discomfort, or worse- potential health problems. Let’s check out the top 10 mistakes to avoid when Removing Menstrual Cup.

Mistakes to Avoid When Removing Menstrual Cup

●        Not breaking the seal first

You must first break the suction seal that the menstrual cup forms with your vaginal walls in order to remove it. Attempting to remove the cup without first breaking the seal is painful and challenging. You can either gently pinch the cup’s base to release the suction or run your finger around the cup’s rim to break the seal.

●        Pulled out vertically

You should not pull straight down when removing your menstrual cup as it might make you uncomfortable to pull it straight down. Pull it out with a slight angle of the cup towards your lower back.

●        Not controlling the flow

Once you pull out the cup, the stuff will come out too. To avoid leaks and mess, make sure you have a pantyliner or toilet paper ready to catch the flow.

●        Pulling it off in the wrong Position

It is recommended to remove the cup when sitting on the toilet. This way you will have proper control and any leakage goes directly into the toilet. Avoid attempting to remove it while standing. It is also worth considering during the Menstrual Cup Insert process.

●        Not washing your hands

It’s crucial to properly wash your hands with soap and water both before and after taking the cup off. It helps prevent bacteria that can cause infection.

●        Not relaxing your pelvic floor

Pelvic floor muscle tension can make it harder to remove the cup. Breathe deeply, relax your muscles, and then carefully remove the cup.

●        Waiting too long to remove it

Recommended removal and emptying of your menstrual cup is every 4-12 hours depending on your flow. Leaving it inside too long can cause leakage, smell, and even dangerous bacterial growth.

●        Reinserting while it’s still inside out

If your cup has somehow turned inside out during removal, and you don’t want to push it back in. The wrong Menstrual Cup Insert process can cause leaks and make it messy.

●        Rinsing it with the wrong fluid

When cleaning your menstrual cup do not use harsh chemicals, alcohol, or anything that might irritate your sensitive vaginal area. It is advised to clean with warm water and mild soap.

●        Not checking for residue or debris

Once you have removed your cup, check it carefully to make sure no little pieces of tissue, or clots are left behind. It can prevent future leaks or discomfort.
