How to use Boondh Menstrual cup?
One of the common queries which most of the customers ask is how to use the boondh cup. This is quite a simple process and once a person gets familiar with it, it becomes a very easy task. First, one has to fold the Boondh cup in half, forming a C shape at the top. Next, one has to decide on a suitable position to insert the Boondh cup. This can be standing, squatting or even sitting. Once this is decided, one has to push the folded part of the cup through their genitalia and ensure that the outer wall of the cup is firmly secure inside. This is to ensure that no leakage happens.
Now the process of removal is also very simple. Simply pull the cup using the end tip. Empty the contents of the cup and wash it thoroughly in running water. A Boondh cup can last for 10-12 hours, but it totally depends upon one’s flow. Next simply put the Boondh cup in boiling water for 5-10 minutes. Remember not to leave the cup in boiling water for extended periods of time; it may lead to permanent damage of the cup.
Step 1: Fold
- Fold Option 1 "U Fold": Press the sides of the cup together and then fold it into half again forming a tight “U” shape.
- Fold Option 2 "Push Down": Place a finger on the top rim of the cup and press it down slowly into the center of the inside base to form a triangle. This makes the top rim much smaller and smoother to insert.
Step 2: Hold
Hold the folded sides firmly in place between your thumb and your forefinger so that the curved edge is facing away from your palm or so that the stem of the cup is facing your palm.
Step 3: Insert
In a comfortable position and with your vaginal muscles relaxed, gently separate the labia with your hand and gently push the curved edge of the folded Boondh Cup horizontally into the vaginal opening so that the tip of the stem is no further than a half inch (1.27 cm) into the vagina. Inserting The Cup too high in the vaginal canal may cause leaks and also may make removal more difficult.
Step 4: Seal and Rotate
Grip the base of the cup (not the stem) and now turn the cup one full rotation (360 degrees) in either direction or insert the cup about half way, turning the cup one full rotation and then pushing it horizontally in the rest of the way. The Cup must rotate easily as this would ensure that it is fully open and that it is positioned horizontally towards your tailbone.
Step 5: Removal
To remove the cup, pull gently on the stem of The Cup until you can reach the base. Pinch the base of the cup to release the seal and now continue to pull down to remove it. After the cup has been removed, empty the contents, wash The Cup well with warm water or a mild unscented water-based (oil-free) soap and only then reinsert.
When to Empty
The Cup must be emptied, washed and reinserted at least twice a day (twice in a 24 hour period) and can be worn overnight without concern of leaking. By monitoring the quantity of the cup over a couple of cycles, you will quickly learn how often to empty it according to your specific needs. Most women find that their cup is not even half full after 12 hours. For those with heavier flows, this cup is simply emptied more often.

The advantage of the menstrual cup over napkins and tampons
Well as seen above you would have noticed that the first and foremost advantage that menstrual cup evidently has over sanitary napkins and tampons is the amount of money spent over buying these napkins and tampons over a period of 8 to 10 years which is exorbitant when compared to the one-time investment in a Boondh Menstrual Cup. Also menstrual cup is healthier for the vaginal environment than using tampons. Tampons absorb all the vaginal moisture, including secretions that are needed to maintain the proper pH and beneficial bacteria. The cups collect the menstrual fluid and allow the vagina to regulate its own moisture levels. The bleaching process many tampons undergo can produce trace amounts of dioxin, a suspected carcinogen—although whether this causes health problems has not yet been firmly established. In some medical cases, when a woman needs to know how much menstrual fluid she is expelling for medical reasons, a cup can allow her to tell more accurately. Apart from being eco-friendly, they’re evidently also more convenient, more hygienic and most cost-effective.
