How do I insert Pure Cup?
Good things come to those who are patient! To insert a menstrual cup into your vagina, you’ll need to fold the rim of the cup in an insertable formation. You can check out the various recommended folds on YouTube. To smoothen the insertion, you can use the lubricant of your choice.
After having inserted the cup, check to see whether the rim is in perfect alignment with the vaginal canal. If the rim is still in a fold, try twisting the cup from the bottom. Gradually the rim will open up completely and it will seal the vaginal canal.
How do I remove a Pure Cup?
Insert your finger into your vaginal canal and try creating an air gap between the rim of Pure cup and the inner walls of your vagina. Pinch the base of Pure Cup to release the vacuum and slowly draw it down with the help of the stem.

How do I prevent a leak with Pure Cup?
Usually, leaks only happen if Pure Cup hasn’t fully opened in your vaginal canal. So every time you insert the cup check and see whether there are any air gaps between the inner walls of your vagina and the rim of Pure Cup.
Another reason for a leak might be the left over excess blood after the insertion of a menstrual cup. So after the insertion, remove the excess fluid by running the finger over the edge of the menstrual cup.
Apart from this, make sure you empty the cup at regular intervals and clean the air holes near the rim of the cup. If the air holes are blocked, the menstrual cup won’t be able to create the necessary air seal and as a result fluid leakage will occur. So always make sure that the air holes of Pure Cup are absolutely clean.
