Can I use a menstrual cup if I'm not comfortable with tampons, or have never put anything inside my vagina?Updated 5 months ago

Saalt Menstrual Cups are a great period care solution for anyone who menstruates! Yes, you can still use a cup even if you’ve never put anything in your vagina before or never used a tampon. Many people who don’t like or haven’t used tampons use our cups and love them. We encourage you to take your time, go slowly, and listen to your body as you learn to insert your cup. 

One of the best ways to get started is to insert your fingers into your vaginal canal and get familiar with your cervix height. Mastering a reusable inserted period product like a cup comes with the opportunity to fully understand your internal anatomy as well as your external anatomy. A Saalt Cup will need to be positioned correctly in relation to your cervix to collect your flow. So knowing your cervix height and position is a great place to start.  You can learn more about how to find your cervix by clicking here. 

For some people, anatomical differences like the size or shape of the hymen or a smaller vaginal canal may mean that a longer time practicing and learning will be needed before cup use will come easily. We are here to help! Our Saalt Cup Academy on Facebook is a safe and supportive place to ask questions and get help to make the transition to cup use a great one!
