0 -> Hi everyone, today I am going to do a quick
6.509 -> video on how to use a menstrual cup, so
9.57 -> I'll keep this brief and just give you
12.21 -> tips that are really really needed by a beginner
14.639 -> to learn how to insert and remove a menstrual
17.82 -> cup, if you want to know more about what
21.18 -> is the menstrual cup and why should we
22.68 -> use, you can watch our other older videos.. so
25.019 -> I'm going to start with a quick look at
27.24 -> the female reproductive system
29.13 -> this diagram shows you the fallopian tube,
31.439 -> uterus, where the ovaries are, the cervix
34.89 -> and the vagina. so this little opening is the
39.149 -> cervix and this entire canal is the
41.79 -> vaginal canal or the vagina and that's
44.28 -> the opening of the vagina. if you look at
47.309 -> it from the side
49.829 -> this is our value really bladder and
54.38 -> this is our urinary bladder and this is the urethra, this is where we
56.969 -> pee from and this is the uterus,
61.26 -> cervix and vaginal canal and this is
64.199 -> where we bleed from during periods, so why
67.95 -> I'm showing this is because a lot of
69.84 -> women get confused that if they're
72.33 -> wearing a cup
73.2 -> where will they pee from, so when you
75.36 -> bleed from the cervix through vagina this is
77.549 -> where we have to insert the cup and we
81.299 -> pee from a totally different opening so you
84.42 -> can easily use the cup and go to the
86.369 -> toilet
87.09 -> you don't have to remove the cup..
88.86 -> okay so now i'm going to show you how to
91.229 -> insert a cup
92.61 -> this is a little model of the female
96.21 -> reproductive system so like we just
98.369 -> looked at it ovaries, uterus, this is
100.95 -> where all the blood is collected it
103.47 -> comes out, this is.. sorry the lighting is a
106.77 -> little off.. yeah so this is the cervix, thats
109.14 -> where the blood comes out and this is our
111.96 -> vaginal canal so the cup needs to be
115.5 -> inserted here to collect the blood.
118.2 -> There are different kinds of folds that you can use
120 -> to insert a cup. for example the C Fold,
122.61 -> where you fold the cup like this into
126.899 -> a C and you insert OR you could use
130.679 -> the punch down fold, where you
132.15 -> punch
132.98 -> like this and it becomes a narrow
135.17 -> opening like that and then you can
138.92 -> insert like that. so let's start i'll
141.53 -> show you a demo with a punch down fold
143.54 -> the best way to punch down is to look at
146.45 -> the air hole on the cup and punch on top
148.67 -> of that when you're folding on the
150.83 -> air hole it's easier for the cup to
153.68 -> open when it goes inside. i have folded
156.41 -> the cup with a punch down fold and ..
159.11 -> this is the vaginal opening so you insert
163.31 -> the cup like this inside and push it in
167.66 -> and when you leave it will pop open like
171.2 -> that and form a seal with the vaginal walls
174.68 -> like this. so now the entire cup should be
179.239 -> just inside your vaginal opening, if a
182.81 -> little bit of the stem is also outside
185 -> it might irritate you while you walk so
187.04 -> you have to make sure you push it all
189.049 -> the way deep in so that the stem is also
192.41 -> inside. in case you inserted the cup with
195.95 -> the fold and it did not open, it stays
198.47 -> like that inside. you will feel a little
203.54 -> feel a little dent in the cup and of
205.639 -> course it will not form a good seal with
207.56 -> your walls and it might leak. so if you're
210.319 -> feeling the dent and the cup has not opened
212.48 -> up there are few ways to open it and
214.31 -> I've done more detail separate videos as
216.41 -> well but I'll quickly tell you the most
219.53 -> easiest way to do is you pinch the
221.569 -> base of the cup like this a few times
223.099 -> and then it will just pop open like that
226.639 -> one very important thing we need to
228.889 -> consider while insulting the cup is the
231.139 -> direction in which we inserted so our
234.23 -> vagina canal is not vertically straight
236.87 -> like this and that's what mostly
239.629 -> people end up doing is that they fold the
241.519 -> cup and they try to insert it vertically
244.37 -> upwards like that and then they find it
246.53 -> difficult or painful to insert because
249.319 -> our vaginal canal is actually tilted
251.84 -> slightly tilted toward the back at an
254.239 -> angle like this so if you're going to
256.639 -> insert the cup- up like this it won't go
258.919 -> in so we need to insert the cup in a
262.099 -> direction like this.
263.1 -> what we can do is try to insert the
267.33 -> finger in first so you get an idea of
270.06 -> which angle we need to insert the cup
272.01 -> and then it will be a lot easier for
273.96 -> you to know when you can slide it in
275.88 -> like that. so now once the cup is
278.79 -> inserted properly you can leave it till
280.56 -> the time it gets full. so once it's full
283.32 -> or you have been wearing it for eight to
285.36 -> ten hours you need to take it out wash
288.3 -> it with plain water and wear it again. so
291.42 -> to remove the cup you need to slightly
294.54 -> move your index finger and thumb inside
297.15 -> the vaginal opening you find the stem of
300.33 -> the cup or the base of the cup and
302.85 -> you need to pinch it, the moment you
305.91 -> pinch the base of the cup, air goes
308.43 -> inside through the air holes and the suction of
311.73 -> the cup with the vaginal wall is broken so it
314.34 -> is easier to remove it. so once you pinch
317.07 -> the base you need to move it slightly
319.02 -> left-right-left-right and pull it out
321.54 -> like this and it comes out. some people
325.32 -> might find this a little painful
327.87 -> because the mouth of the cup is quite big and
329.97 -> if you are taking it out of the
331.59 -> vaginal opening it can hurt, so to avoid
334.41 -> that once you pinch the base and you
337.65 -> aren't doing it to bring it a little
339.24 -> lower and then with the help of your
341.97 -> index finger and your thumb, you can fold
345.72 -> the cup so you insert.. so the cup is
352.17 -> little outside, the base of the cup is little
354.24 -> outside your vaginal opening, then you insert
357.12 -> your index finger and with the help of index finger and the thumb you bring
362.19 -> it back into a C fold like this
364.74 -> so how we were inserting, so you bring it
367.65 -> back into a c fold like this or U fold
369.84 -> so you bring it back and you bring
372.9 -> it back into this position of a c fold
375.45 -> and so that makes the cup a
378.63 -> little smaller and then you continue to
381.3 -> take it out
382.53 -> so this won't be painful while removing.
384.99 -> once the cup is out, you just dump the
387.72 -> contents into the sink or your toilet seat,
390.09 -> wash it with plain drinking water or
392.76 -> regular water and insert it again
395.36 -> another thing i'd like to add here is
398 -> that this length is the different for
401.569 -> different women, some have a very high
403.639 -> cervix, some have a low cervix and some have a medium
409.099 -> so women with the low to medium cervix tend to find their cup always
411.469 -> just at the opening so it's very easy, they
413.81 -> just have to insert the fingers a little
415.189 -> bit then find the cup their, and they pinch and
417.889 -> remove but some women would have a very
420.56 -> high cervix and the cup would have moved deep
422.599 -> inside so when they insert the finger
425.06 -> they can't feel it at all and that is
428.389 -> also totally normal infact most women
430.34 -> do have a very high cervix or high
432.08 -> cervix so if you cant feel the cup
435.02 -> or its stem there's nothing to worry
437.12 -> about and that is something actually
438.65 -> very important if you stress over it
440.99 -> that I can't find the cup, its gotten
442.699 -> lost inside me that makes your muscles
444.889 -> quite tight and tensed, makes it even
449.24 -> more difficult to remove the cup.
451.159 -> All you need to do is squat on the floor
453.56 -> that would bring your cervix a little lower, and
457.37 -> push like you're pushing a baby out
460.159 -> so what these things would do is
462.289 -> bring your cup closer to the opening and
465.379 -> then all you need to do is grab hold of
467.539 -> the base, pinch it and remove like we've
470.509 -> already discussed so the most important
473.27 -> tip I'd like to give is to stay calm
476.539 -> while using a menstrual cup whether
478.49 -> you're inserting it or removing it.
480.169 -> the more you stress over it, the more
482.719 -> your muscles will get tensed up so just relax
