How to Manage Menstrual Cup: While using menstrual cup during periods, many times the menstrual cup gets stuck inside while releasing the bad blood. At such times, you can easily take out the cup by keeping some special things in mind.

Right Way to Use Menstrual Cup: Nowadays, menstrual cups are being used more during periods instead of pads. In this, the menstrual cup is inserted inside the vagina and left. Due to the vacuum in the menstrual cup, it gets set inside, due to which all the dirty blood coming from inside starts filling it before coming out of the vagina. After filling the menstrual cup, it is necessary to release it. In this, the menstrual cup has to be removed from the vagina again. Many times the menstrual cup gets stuck inside the vagina, which can cause you pain and internal danger. At such times, some special things must be kept in mind, which can prove helpful for you.
