I am 33 years old and I want to know the entire procedure for using the menstrual cup?

Question

The manufacturer offers user guidelines with the packet so it is advised to read it carefully if you are using it for the first time. In general there are four major steps to be followed while using a menstrual cup. These are - initial cleaning (wash your hands properly and sterilize the menstrual cup by putting it into a pot of boiling water for 5 to 10 minutes before inserting it), insertion (use water-based lube outside the cup to reduce friction and making the insertion easier), emptying (depending upon the flow of blood, you may be able to wear it for about 12 hours. Remove it after 12 hour and clean it properly. In case of heavy bleeding, you may remove it early and check it), and storage (it is advised not to store a menstrual cup in an airtight container as it needs moisture to evaporate). Refer to the storage guidelines provided by the manufacturer.
