Tips for Success

Below are a few helpful tips to help you find the right fit and feel of your cup:

• Read your User Guide!
• Remember to thoroughly wash your hands with soap and warm water before insertion and removal.
• To maintain the integrity of The DivaCup clean thoroughly with warm water or use a mild unscented water-based (oil-free) soap.
• Unlike tampons, be sure to insert the cup horizontally (toward the tailbone).
• After insertion, ensure that the cup is fully open by rotating it a full 360 degrees in either direction.
• Practicing Kegel exercises will help keep your vaginal muscles strong and may help The cup stay in place better and prevent leakage.
• Do not insert The DivaCup while lying down as this may result in the cup being positioned improperly, leading to discomfort and possible leaking.
• If The DivaCup does move up in the vaginal canal and you are experiencing difficulty removing it please refer to Section B of the User Guide for assistance. In the rare case that you are still unable to remove The DivaCup after more than twelve (12) hours, seek medical advice.
• If your cup does leak, it has not been inserted properly; it has not been rotated; it is not inserted at the right angle (horizontally); or the muscle tone of your vagina needs to be strengthened with Kegel exercises (usually necessary after multiple vaginal childbirths).
