@Miriam Fease I had the same issue when I first tried in several different standing and sitting positions. Eventually I had to add a tiny bit of lube to my opening, then clean my hands and dry everything else. Then I had to lay down (on a towel just in case it took awhile) and it went right in. Like surprisingly quick. Worth a shot anyway.

I saw a thousand videos on how to use a menstrual cup for months before I actually got myself to use one. I have watched your videos a hundred times and I’m glad to say IT ALL REALLY WORKS!! Thanks to you I haven’t had a single leak in my entire cycle. NOT ONE SINGLE LEAK!!!!!! My period was cleaner than when i used pads; while tampons leaked 85% of the time (set aside the sharp shooting pain). With my menstrual cup, i was more active than my regular days; I sprinted, worked out, did all i can to check out the degree of “leakproof-ness”; and it worked like magic. I’m SO GLAD I could make it happen, THANKS TO YOU @Sarah Tran

Sarah Tran the menstrual cup movement is definitely one of my life missions now. I live in India, and it’s a bit difficult for people (especially men) to accept ANYTHING inserted inside a woman’s body like that. Though things are changing now, and i have an extremely open-minded mother; so there is hope. Menstrual cups are one of the best things i have come across in my life; it relieved me from my cramps, rashes, itchiness, diaper discomfort, odour, disturbed sleep, and so much more just cuz it freed my mind from the BURDEN of being on my period. And one of the best parts is it’s eco friendly and reusable at a fraction of the cost!!! Menstrual cups are the coconut oil of feminine hygiene! 😂 Again thanks a ton for your video 😁🤗

I bought a cup with the ongoing hype about menstrual cups... I tried for two days, I couldn't even get it half way, because honestly I didn't know how to insert it properly, or I didn't know what position the cup is supposed to be inside my body. Every video in KZread just says 'insert it into your vagina and you're done" ., To be honest nothing infuriates more than that sentence! I was almost on the verge of giving up when I saw your video, it's my third day today and I am going to keep trying until I get it right, thanks to you. Really! The part where u explain, hold the cup until the bend is inside and then slowly maneuver it with fingers.. that's the part I really needed to hear.. thank you so much, thank you for giving me the courage to continue trying!

My 3rd cycle trying the menstrual cup. I’ve watched several videos and continue to do so but your tips have made more sense than any others. I came across your video last night and today was the first time I did not have leakage. So I’d say it was a success! Thank you for explaining things well!!!!

This is my third cycle using my menstrual cup and, even though I really love my cup, I did have issues with leaking here and there - especially overnight. I was looking for a few helpful videos and this one popped up. I started using this method right away (yesterday lol) and I've had no leaking yet. Not a drop. Not even overnight. I've had no issues so far today either and I'm pretty confident that I'll be good tonight as well. So glad I came across this video, especially considered how long ago it was posted. Thanks for your tips!

You changed my life. Honestly you have no idea how I watched this video like a year and a half ago and you were that friend I needed. I am now passing this video along to a friend that really needs help. Thank you

Sarah, I have to say THANK YOU because you made day 2 of using the diva cup for the first time MUCH less scary/confusing than the first day. I feel much more confident now and am still only in cycle 1.

Thank you so much! It was my first time using the cup, and I got it in after the first try. Your video was really helpful! And I love using the cup. I did it in the bath tub, and your comment on making sure to first relax all the muscles was especially helpful. The recommendation of doing the kegel contractions while putting in and removing the cup, was also super helpful. I realize I don't have to pull or insert much with my hands, they are there just to provide a gentle tug or direction, but the big - V muscles do all the work. Thank you so much once again.

I have officially mastered this on my first cycle. Thank you!!!! by the way, this might be helpful to some: I do the push down fold as well but I insert it upside down so the part that needs to pop open is facing down which makes it so much easier. I feel the top part is too sensitive to touch.

ok I have to say I bought a cup and after almost two days of leaking and watching soooo many videos I almost gave up. I came across your video and after watching it once got it and watching a second time mastered it. because of your video I mastered it so fast that I now love my cup and will never go back!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ACTUALLY PUTTING A COMPETENT VIDEO UP. haha by far easiest explanation I've come across.

Finalllyyy did it! I bought the cup few days back after alooottt of research. And yesterday i got my period. I tried twice to insert the cup but couldn't. I think it was because my flow on day 1 is always light and also cause vaginal muscles are tight on day 1. This morning I tried and got it in one go!!! Woohoooo! I tried the punch down fold, followed her instructions and also from other 1000 videos I watched. It got in first go. The natural lubrication and reminding myself to relax every second did the trick. I checked to see if there was the seal like she said, i guess it was cause it didn't come out. Though for a minute the stem was poking me, turns out i didnt push it all the way😂 it still poking a bit, I'll have to trim the stem and see how that goes the next time I have to reinsert. I'll keep u guys updated, wish me luck on my first day of trying the cup out!🤞🏼 Update: it's been another cycle since and honestly, it was so much easier then before in the latest cycle. I am still practicing, sometimes it doesn't pop open but practice makes on perfect so yeah. Also, i got tired on my 4th day so i used a pad and it felt so weird to wear one, it was wet and uncomfortable, comparatively with a cup... The only con with cup us that sometimes it doesn't open and taking out is abit painful, other than that it really doesn't feel like u r on ur periods.

I never ever ever respond to YT videos, but I haven't even made it out of the restroom yet and just had to leave a comment. I literally had a giggle of relief following your steps, because it made the entire insertion process a breeze and gave me so much confidence!! Ladies!! The contraction while pushing is GOLDEN advice. Thank you soooo much for your video!

Wow. THANK YOU! I am so thankful that you posted this video. By learning from your trial and error process I have been very successful on my first cycle! Looking forward to being free of tampons from here on out 💕

This video is 4 years old but I just want to say thank you for this. I've been trying with no luck. It didn't occur to me to actively relax my muscles!

OH MY GOSH THANK U SOOOO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO AND CUTTING DOWN MY LEARNING CURVE TO LIKE NOTHING!! i was watching this video on repeat couple times a month for 2-3 months before i started testing out the theory. just tried it for the first time this cycle couple days ago, the first time inserting was a little confusing, but now, 4 days into my period, i can confidently say i’ve mastered this technique thanks to you!!! the push down method is soooo clutch that when i put it in i don’t even have to stick my fingers up there to check if it’s suctioned correctly. i can just FEEL it suctioned as soon as i do it. and i’ve had NO LEAKS! even when i accidentally slept with it in overnight and kept it in for 24 hours it was fine. now i can’t imagine ever going back to tampons like i wish i had tried this out earlier. i’m telling everyone about it now i’m so hyped lol ur amazing ❤️

New to the menstrual cup and second time using it. I had been trying the u-shape and thought it was best for me, but this time around I was still having problems and experiencing pain. I tried the push down method and thanks to you I accomplished it without any issues before. You're the only one who has throughly giving instructions...very helpful thanks!!!

THANK YOU 👏🏼 This is my second month using the menstrual cup and the first month I was continually leaking and I became so frustrated with the whole thing. I watched your video and prepared myself for this month, and so far, leak free thanks to your tips. You’ve saved my sanity and my underwear.

Hey girl! Just quickly jumping in there to *THANK YOU!* [tmi] I’m using my cup for the first time right now, having practised insertion etc. before - the only issue I’ve had was getting the cup to open up. Having done a ton of research on other sites and blogs before, the (first) tip you’re providing in this video was the one that did it for me - I consider myself to be very lucky to have no leaks on the first day of me using the cup, and it’s because of your advice! ❤️ Thank you so much once again!! 💕

Wow you did a great job with this tutorial!! I followed your directions step by step and I got it right the first try!!! No leaks I have been wearing my cup for the past six hours heavy flow and no leak!!! Thanks so much!!💕💕💕

thank you sooo much for this video. i was truely experiencing the struggle.

My second try w a cup in 10 yrs. Didn’t really try last time. Thank goodness I can KZread search everything now and thanks for taking the time to make this video. Ciao

I’m thankful I found this video 😭💖 I squated then followed her instructions of how to insert the cup and it took me less than 5 mins to do it 😭💖 no leaks at all!! Love it! Definitely subscribing to your channel!

Thank you for making this video! The first month of using my menstrual cup was filled with trials and I already wanted to give up, but after watching this and using the method where you pop the cup open while it is still half out and then pushing it in helped immediately! I haven't had any leaks since this method.

This video was the difference between me quitting on the cup and loving it! Still getting the hang of it but such a huge difference in being comfortable.

This has helped me sooooo much! Got it on the 3rd try! Proud of myself! You’re the best!!

Okay this video was a life saver!! First time trying the cup and I have been struggling on and off for hours trying to insert it, with pretty painful results each time. Tried this folding method and took the advice of some of the other comments on how to be more relaxed and it inserted successfully, for the first time, in like 30 seconds! Thank you!!

I can’t believe I’m just now seeing this video. To be honest I bought the diva cup years ago and I hated it. I would leak every time. But I’m sure I didn’t master the method properly. I literally went back to tampons and pass because it was more reliable. I bought the diva cup again today to give it a try again and found your video to see if I could find a different method. It look about 15 tries if finding and trying to insert it how you did. Omg the last try just now was perfect. The key is the angle of the cup that you showed. It went right in and up and omg I am soooooo happy. I can just feel that I’m super secure and not going to leak. I just know it! Thank you so much for this video, this is seriously going to be a life changer for my period! Than you! For years I’ve wanted to master how to make the management of my period easier and leak free and this is it! The best video!

thank you so much! i’m a young teen who uses tampons during the day and pads at night but they’re terrible for the environment. i was never able to use my cup but this video was the most useful one yet! thank you this probably changed my life

This works!!! Shes done it!!! Thank you so damn much!!! I’m sharing this with everyone!!! Let’s make this change!!!!!

Oh my goshhhhhh thank you! I've been struggling so so much with figuring out how to open the cup and was getting so frustrated and discouraged, would try once in the morning and just give up and use tampons but I'm so thankful for this video! you are so awesome!

Last time I tried the cup, I was in SO MUCH PAIN. I’m so happy that this time I got the cup in on the fourth try! Never felt more accomplish right now. Thank you so much!!!

Thank you for the video. This is my second cycle with this cup, and having leaked again I was ready to toss it out. On a whim I turned to KZread for advice and stumbled upon your video and your tips; and so I marched back into the restroom with cup in hand. Thanks for the inspiration.

+Jenn Rogers good point! I didn't even think about that! In a nutshell, what I do is stick the index and thumb up... lol and grab at the bottom of the cup, pull it down slightly closer to you while squeezing and then wiggle around to break the seal. If that doesnt work, stick a finger there against the side of the cup and push the cup flat to break the seal (i find this difficult) and then pull the cup out. If it's stuck and you can't grip it and you're just tired at this point for attempting so many times, squat to the ground and grab at it.

Jenn Rogers i pinch the bottom of the cup until it breaks the seal and it usually comes out very easily after. You have to get a bit of air in there i can sometimes feel it and then i know to pull it out.

Thank you so much for this video. Your tip on wetting the cup before insertion REALLY helped. I'm still having issues with getting it far enough up and fully opened but I can go about 6 hours before it starts to leak. Since this is only my second cycle, I won't get too frustrated.

+Darcy Pellicano Yes do not give up!! :) be patient you'll get it! I hope these tips help you out so let me know :) x welcome to the YT fam!

I watched this video for the first time probably 4 or 5 years ago. I’m SO thankful I did, because the cup is the only thing that reduces my pain! That, and now I’m an EMT working 12 hour shifts. I can work my entire shift with NO problems! No leaking, no fear of the cup displacing. Thank you!!

Oh my goodness Sarah! Thank you!! I've had to reinsert so many times the last two days! I didn't have leaks yesterday, but it kept coming out, and I'd have to push it back in over, and over. Today I had leaks all day, as well as having to push it back in. I was about to give up, thinking they just didn't fit me right. But I decided to watch some tutorials first. Yours was the first one I, and ONLY one I ended up watching. It's in ALL the way now! No leaks, no slipping out! Yay! 👏🏻 Thanks Sarah! thanks times a million girl!! 👏🏻👏🏻

My huge goal for this year is to master the menstrual cup

I just wanted to let you know that this video was more helpful to my daughter than the "official" one made by "DivaCup". There is no substitute for plain talk and personal expereince.

OMG thank you!! Didn't want to jinx it, but just finished my first cycle with menstrual cup leak free. I'm so incredibly greatful for your helpful guide. I was so nervous to try a cup that I waited with it in my drawer for 3 months lol your videos finally gave me the confidence and I was ready for failure and all set for solutions but thanks to you I was able to head off the problems before I even had any 😀 👍

Literally changed my life!!! I wanted to give up so many times but I persisted and your help and explanation was just the best!! Thank you!!

I'm on day 3 of my cycle and I found this video incredibly helpful right after I watched it I tried it and your tips definitely work, thank you!

Thank you so much. I feel like I've been alone in not managing to 'pop' it open in there! I've had my cup for YEARS, and I just haven't managed and half given up... I will not give up yet.

Update: For the first time I used a cup during my whole cycle!

I have used the moon up for 4 months and until seeing this video I have mastered using it without worrying bout leaking .it's the best video around to explain how to use it.thanks alot

Hi Sarah thanks a ton.. i was about to quit my menstrual cup and going back to pads but your this video saved my life. I bought MC and faced leakage issue due to heavy flow which lead me to use pads again. But after watching this video i decided to give it a try again and followed your tips. Its just so simple and perfect dear. You just fixed it in every aspect. Live to you god bless you. I respect and love my mother earth and am not gonna use pads anymore. Its my first cycle with MC and 4th day., i cant see any leak since 4 hours. Am happy that i finally achieved it. Beginners please dont stop if you face any challenges. Thanks again for what you do... Love from INDIA I am mother of 2 kids, heavy flow so opted large size with good silicon cup and yes it fits me right. No more leakage. Thanks to this girl for bringing my confidence to try cup again.

I'm 15 years old and got my first ever cup today. I tried to insert it so many times but it didnt feel right and hurt like crazy. I just found your video and was surprised you actually explain how to insert it rather than just saying fold insert and bam your done. I got it on the first try after waching your video so thank you =D

@@anandisharma3828 I actually have a high pain tolerance so it doesn't hurt me that much. It definitely does hurt a little when you insert and push on the point to open it but for me it is definitely worth the pain because i don't even notice it for the rest of the day and unlike a tampon it does not hurt at all to take it out. Hope I have helped ;D

Have you?

So glad I found this video. Just got mine yesterday and the first two times per pamphlet instructions were a major fail. Then I found this video and the removal video (because removal was more traumatic) and nailed it the third time in both insertion and removal. Your months of trial and error has given me success early in my first cycle. Thank you so much.

I've been struggling with it for more than a month now and I was hardly getting anywhere. By watching your video I've figured what I've been doing wrong and it worked the very next time 😍 Thank you so much

Oh my God after 2 years of having the cup. You are the only one who explains it so clearly. First time using it to day. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

I kept having that issue where it sinks down throughout the day until I can feel it. I had no idea you were supposed to flex then push it up!! Incredibly helpful video :D

Ugh I can't keep my grip on mine so it opens up when I'm less than a centimeter in and then I'm trying to push in the open cup (it doesn't budge ). The key to this is strong finger dexterity lol. But as this is my second day (got it yesterday, can't get it today) I feel a lot better knowing it took several cycles for you so I'll keep at it and not feel like my vag is a failure. Thanks so much!

So I just came across the video and I’ve had a mooncup for years and I found the process of insertion and getting it right so difficult recently I thought I need to give this a go again. I’ve had enough of pads and tampons! I followed your instructions and I’m pretty confident got it first go. Only time will tell but I will be following your steps going forward. Thank you because there are hundreds of videos but I have found this the best instructional video ♥️

I don't usually comment on videos but I really wanted to let you know how much this video helped me. I bought a cup about 2 years ago and I could never quite get the hang of it. Sometimes I would insert it and it would be fine but most of the time it would leak or it would hurt. When I got it in there good and I had to wash it out and reinsert, I could never remember exactly what I did the time before. I watched videos but I was already doing the things that were suggested and it still wasn't working out for me. I was so frustrated with it that I gave up and switched to period underwear after a few months. They work fine for me but recently I had to travel for a funeral. Unfortunately I was on my period and period underwear was not really a good option at all for the trip. So I went back to KZread and watched many videos on cups. Yours was the only one that gave me the instructions I needed to insert it effectively. Now I feel confident enough to start using my cup again. Thank you so much!!!

CANNOT thank you enough like all of these menstrual cup videos have helped in more ways than you can imagine... 😅

Thank you so much for making this video!! You def made my first cup experience easier! :) I just tried your way to insert a cup and it was WAY BETTER than the way i was doing before! You are life saver! :)

I followed your instructions to a tee and my first time using a menstruated cup went flawlessly! Used the technique for 7 days with no leaks!! Thank you 😊😊💕

Thanks for this tip video, Sarah! It went in so smoothly on my FIRST try and I can't feel it at all. Your tips are gold and essential for those new to the Diva Cup.

i was stressed, especially bcz of my age and you made me feel comfortable:)

lol it hurts so much when i try to get it in (it doesn't even get in, but it hurts already). i was thinking of giving up but this girl right here told me not to give up. I'll try again. thank you

Try the half diamond fold smaller insertion

Thank you so much Sarah! I tried 3 years ago thousands of times to put that thing in and didn't make it, I gave it up and suffered 3 more years without cup!! Today I tried your tip! It worked! Thank you so much! The position is also so important. I had to squat completely.

Thank you!! After watching your video it helped me insert it so much easier. I’m a beginner so this definitely helped me. I feel like once I truly get the hang of it, I’m gonna LOVE it!!

Used your method and it got I on my second try. Damn Sarah you the real mvp

YAY!!!! Maybe you're the real MVP for getting it right the second try!!! :)

I'm about ready to toss mine away. I've tried different folds and lubrication and can't get it to slide in without it hurting. I also can't get it to insert further in than the opening. Not a virgin and tampons don't hurt but this menstrual cup is defeating me. I keep pinching myself when I try to turn it because there's no room to feel around. Anything else that might help?

SpillMyHeartForYou so I don't have first hand experience (I'm trying out a soft cup before I commit to a long term cup) but I've read a lot of reviews. have you tried getting a smaller or softer one? I've heard the diva cup is very hard but others are softer. precious star pads reviews a crap ton of cups and talks all about cervix height, cup hardness etc. good luck!

I use the cfold method and I release the fold once I know the lip of the cup is in because it hurts like a biatch if you release BEFORE that. THEN I turn the cup and feel around to make sure it's fully open (the cup is still mostly outside of you while you're doing this). Then I bear down while pushing the cup up despite her advice to contract. After bearing down your body naturally CONTRACTS as it goes back to neutral. That dual action has helped me and once the cup is all snugly in I'm good. It also took me several cycles to get it.

So, weird tip, but here goes. Open your mouth and relax your jaw muscles, then focus on your forehead. This relaxes the vagina muscles. I know it's weird, but if you're anticipating the cup insertion, you might be tensing up. Especially if it hurt the first time (now you're expecting pain, so you're bracing for pain). You can also try a smaller cup, and I would recommend the "7 fold", it seems to be the winner with smaller openings. Last tip, try sitting if you are squatting or squatting if you are sitting. Everything I read said to squat, but once I switched to sitting I was golden. (Legs VERY far apart either way-like to the point where it's almost awkward) Once you get the first part in, make sure to "bear down" like you are trying to have a bowl movement. I hope that helps. Good luck!

bishopsgyal "Then I bear down while pushing the cup up despite her advice to contract. After bearing down your body naturally CONTRACTS as it goes back to neutral." That sounds like a great tip, thanks

It's my first time using one and the advice that came with it was useless, but this video has saved me! So helpful to see someone be open and detailed and not say 'just insert it :)'. I actually managed to put it in which seemed impossible so thank youuu x

I’ve never used a cup until my last cycle and your video alone is what helped me go through my whole cycle with only one leak!!!

YAY! I GOT THE HANG OF IT!!! :)

+sarahhtranTV Well, I tried again after seeing your video and I leaked again. Well, maybe I will get the hang of it in a few days, or next month :D hopefully

This is really good info, I almost was in tears lastnight because I want this to work so bad! Your first technique so helpful

This is the best description of insertion I’ve seen. I bought a June cup a few months ago and couldn’t get it to open. Well come to find out you only insert it about half way before you try to get it to open. All other videos make it seem that you push it all the way up then twist which is not at all how it’s done. The fold and method of opening in this video worked the first time I tried it. I had been ready to throw out the cups but now I love mine so far! Thank you for a perfect explanation
