Always read the instructions that come along with your Silky Cup prior to use. It is easier to insert or remove when relaxed. It only takes a few seconds to insert or remove and becomes simpler with repeated use. Always clean your Silky Cup before first use. Wash your hands with gentle soap and water. Rinse your hands thoroughly, and then rinse your cup under water as it’s easier to insert when wet. You can use a water-based lubricant if you’re a virgin or a first time user if you prefer, or you can insert it in the shower. Fold your cup into a c shape by using both of your hands. Flatten two sides together and then fold onto itself.
Using your dominant hand, hold just below the rim of the cup firmly. Spread your legs and separate your labia with your free hand. Make sure the round side of the C is facing up. From either a standing (with one leg up), squatting, or sitting position, make sure the c-side of the cup is facing up, and then insert the cup into your vagina coming at a 45 degree angle (toward the back of the spine). Once the cup and the stem are not visible you can stop inserting. Ensure that the cup is properly in place by twisting it three hundred sixty degrees so that a seal can be formed. Wash your hands afterward with soap and water.
