1. Wash your hands and your cup.

• Before first use and between cycles, sanitize your Fornix Disc-Style Menstrual Cup by placing it in boiling water for approximately 5 minutes and wash the
  storage pouch provided.
• Another way to sanitize your cup is to clean all its surfaces with 70% isopropyl alcohol and a soft cloth, then allow it to dry thoroughly.
• Before inserting, wash your hands and your Fornix Cup with mild (pH-balanced), fragrance- and oil-free soap and water. Rinse it well and check that there is no
  soap residue left.

2. Insert.

• Relax and get into a comfortable position to insert your menstrual cup. For example, you can sit on the toilet, squat or lift one leg.
• Fold your Fornix Cup in half joining the rims that are on each side of the cup.
• With two fingers of the other hand, spread the labia minora of your vulva.
• With the cup still folded, insert the end of the rim (displaying the Fornix logo) into the entrance to the vagina.
• Aim the cup towards your coccyx until the back rim of the cup is behind your cervix.

3. Tuck.

• With your finger, push the front rim up as high as possible, so that your Fornix Cup is tucked above the pubic bone.
• To check the positioning of your Fornix Cup, touch your pubic bone with a finger, then your cervix through the cup thin membrane.
• When your Fornix Cup is correctly positioned, you should have the feeling of not wearing anything. Your pubic bone should be located under the rim of the cup and your cervix in the cup. If not, remove your cup and reinsert it.

4. Remove and clean after a maximum of 12 hours before reinserting it.

• After wearing your menstrual cup for up to 12 hours, wash your hands and relax.
• Remove your Fornix Cup by pulling the rim or stem until it is completely out of the vagina.
• Empty its contents into the toilet or shower.
• Rinse it in cold water, then clean it in warm water with a mild, fragrance- and oil-free soap before reinserting it.
• Avoid removing your Fornix Cup by pulling on the thin membrane to avoid damaging the silicone.

5. Sanitize and store.

• At the end of your cycle, wash and sanitize your Fornix Disc-Style Menstrual Cup by placing it in boiling water for approximately 5 minutes or by cleaning all its
  surfaces with 70% isopropyl alcohol and a soft cloth.
• Allow it to dry thoroughly, then store it in the pouch provided or in a well-ventilated area.
