1. Before first use
MonthlyCup guidance says to follow the supplied instructions and boil before first use as instructed.
Instruction-first onboarding
Read the instructions like they are part of the product.
The cup is only one half of the experience. The other half is the manufacturer’s first-use guidance: how to prepare it, how often to empty it, and how to remove it without pulling the stem alone.
The five instruction zones
For a beginner, the most important instructions are the ones that affect preparation, use, removal, cleaning and storage.
2. Clean hands
The MonthlyCup guide instructs users to wash hands. This is a basic step to check every time.
3. Emptying rhythm
MonthlyCup says to empty according to flow and no later than 12 hours.
4. Removal method
MonthlyCup instructs users to release the seal before removal instead of pulling the stem alone.
5. Between periods
MonthlyCup says to boil between periods as instructed, dry fully and store with air circulation.
6. Replacement check
MonthlyCup guidance says to replace damaged, sticky or noticeably changed silicone.
Why instruction reading matters
A menstrual cup is reusable and handled directly. Small details—such as releasing the seal before removal or allowing air circulation during storage—are practical parts of use.
Start with the supplied manual
Use the instructions that came with your cup. Online guides can help you understand the topic, but the supplied product instructions should be followed.
Then compare official guide details
If you use MonthlyCup, the official guide lists model measurements and care guidance. It also explains that fit is individual.
Ask support for product questions
If the question is about MonthlyCup product or shopping details, use the current support page rather than guessing from old information.
Instruction mistakes to avoid
- Do not rely on the stem alone for removal; release the seal first.
- Do not stretch the emptying interval beyond the manufacturer’s stated guidance.
- Do not store the cup damp in a sealed environment if the product guidance says to dry fully and allow air circulation.
What this page cannot decide
This page cannot tell you which cup will fit your body, diagnose bleeding changes, or replace the instructions supplied with your own product.
If you experience new bleeding between periods, after sex or after menopause, NHS public information says to discuss it with a doctor.
