We're talking about the menstrual cup with an applicator.

That was quite informative. Remember, practice makes perfect. Now, let's move on to the next step: ensuring hygiene during the process.
Step 1: Hygiene First - Wash Your Hands and the Applicator
Just like you wouldn't dive into a pool without checking the water temperature first, you shouldn't dive into the use of a menstrual cup without ensuring all your tools are squeaky clean. Hygiene is the cornerstone of menstrual health, so let's talk about how to clean your menstrual cup applicator properly.
First, wash your hands with soap and warm water. Remember, your hands are the first line of defense against introducing bacteria into your body. Next, rinse the applicator with warm water and mild, unscented soap. Why unscented? Well, your intimate area is like a delicate ecosystem, and strong scents or harsh chemicals can disrupt its balance. After rinsing, pat it dry with a clean towel.
But wait, you ask, can I use a sterilizer? Absolutely! If you have a menstrual cup sterilizer, feel free to give your applicator a spa treatment. Just remember to follow the manufacturer's instructions. Not sure what those are? Check out our FAQs for more information.
Remember, a clean menstrual cup applicator is not just a matter of comfort but of health, too. So, before you join the Cup Club, make sure you're doing it right. Ready for the next step? Let's dive in!
Step 2: Mastering the Fold and Insert Technique
Alright, you've mastered the art of folding your menstrual cup; now it's time to dive into the nitty-gritty of using the applicator for menstrual cup insertion. Don't fret! It's not rocket science, but it does require a little finesse.
First, get comfortable.
Whether you prefer standing, sitting, or one leg up on the toilet seat, find your power pose! Remember, this is your journey to menstrual wellness, and there's no wrong way to go about it. Ready? Let's get started.
Hold the folded menstrual cup with the stem pointing downwards and insert it into the applicator. Now, gently insert the applicator (with the cup inside) into your vagina. Once it's in, push the plunger of the applicator to release the cup. Voila! You've just used your menstrual cup applicator!
How do you know if you've done it right?
It should feel comfortable, almost like it's not there. If it feels off, don't worry. It might take a few tries to get the hang of it. Remember, practice makes perfect in the world of menstrual cups.

Step 3: Ensuring Comfort - The Perfect Fit Check
So you've inserted your menstrual cup with the help of an applicator, but how can you be sure it's sitting pretty?
Let's dive right in, shall we?
- Firstly, you should not feel any discomfort. If you're feeling like you're sitting on a cactus, chances are, something's off. Check the placement by gently running a finger around the base of the cup - it should be round or oval. If it feels more like a squashed pancake, it's not fully open. A gentle twist or slight repositioning should get it into shape. Remember, clean hands are a must!
- Secondly, the stem shouldn't be poking out or causing any discomfort. If it's feeling like an unwelcome guest, you might need to adjust the cup a bit higher or consider trimming the stem. But don't go Edward Scissorhands on it - a small trim can make a big difference!
- Finally, try doing a little jig, a squat, or even a cartwheel (if you're feeling particularly gymnastic). The cup should stay put, and you should still feel comfortable. If not, it's time for a little more adjustment.
And voila! You've just aced the diva cup applicator test. Welcome to the world of worry-free periods!

Cup Care 101: Cleaning and Storing Your Menstrual Cup Applicator
Now that you're part of the Cup Club let's dive into the nitty-gritty of menstrual cup applicators. These handy tools are your ticket to a stress-free period experience.
How do you ensure your applicator stays in tip-top shape? Let's spill the tea!
- First off, cleanliness is next to godliness, especially when it comes to your diva cup applicator. Rinse it with warm water and mild soap after each use. Remember, your applicator is like your favorite pair of jeans - it should never be bleached! If you're in a public restroom, use a clean tissue or a specialized menstrual hygiene wipe.
- When it comes to storage, think dry and airy. Store your menstrual cup insert tool in a breathable cotton bag, not in a sealed plastic bag or container. Plastic can trap moisture, creating a breeding ground for bacteria. Yikes!
- Lastly, inspect your applicator regularly. If you notice any cracks, discoloration, or odd smells, it's time to bid farewell. Remember, your menstrual health is paramount, and taking good care of your applicator is a part of it.
Ready to become a menstrual cup pro? Remember, practice makes perfect, and every period warrior has been in your shoes. Embrace the journey and celebrate the small victories along the way. You've got this!
