2) Poushing your menstrual cup down, gently push with your internal muscles,
like if you want to push out something out of your vaginal canal. Doing this
helps to lower the menstrual cup, making it easier to grip. Carefully, separate
your labia with your nondominant hand (usually the left hand).
3) Insert the index finger and thumb of your dominant hand into your vagina
until you reach the cup. If you can not reach the base, carefully pull the handle
and push down with the internal muscles. With the index finger and thumb,
firmly press the base of the cup to break the suction seal with the vaginal walls.
You can also break the seal by inserting a finger around the rim of the cup.
Squeeze the menstrual cup at the bottom, with your thumb and forefinger,
pulling outwards to remove it. When the cup is about to come out, keep it
upright to prevent any leakage of the contents. During the extraction process, if
you feel that your fingers will begin to slip, release the cup a few seconds,
wipe your fingers with the toilet paper you prepared at the beginning, and
continue. Repeat as often as you think is necessary.
