Before using your Sati Cup for the first time you should sterilize
the cup in boiling water for 3-5 minutes. Remember not to let the
cup touch the bottom of the pot.
1. Wash your hands thoroughly.
2. Apply water or a water-based lube to the rim of the cup.
3. Press one side by folding it down and in to the inside, resembling the letter “M”. Then fold the cup halfway. (Push Down fold) Find a comfortable position in which your vaginal muscles are relaxed (as when you put a tampon) – a squat or one foot raised to a support.
4. Insert the cup, rim up, into your vagina. It should sit a few inches below your cervix.
5. Once the cup is in your vagina, it will pop open to create an airtight seal that stops leakage. To check if your Sati Cup is open, run your finger around the middle part of the cup, if you feel an indent use your thumb or your index finger to nudge upward the indented part or you can twist the base of the cup to make it fully open.
You shouldn’t feel your menstrual cup if you’ve inserted the cup correctly. You should also be able to move, jump, sit, stand, and do other everyday activities without your cup falling out.
We highly suggest for the first-time users to empty your cup every 3-4 hours to avoid leakage, on heavy days you might need to empty your Sati Cup up to three times a day but later in your cycle, you will likely find you only need to take it out once a day. It is not recommended you leave your Sati Cup in for more than 12 hours – ideally, you should empty it every 6-8 hours.
As long as your Sati Cup is the right size, is inserted correctly and emptied when needed, it shouldn’t leak. However, like tampons leaks can happen from time to time – especially if your cup hasn’t opened out properIy.
Others chose to wear a cloth liner as a safeguard while they get used to cup life. Getting the hang of using a menstrual cup can take a while. Give yourself at least 3 cycles to learn the ropes to work out what works best for you.
