There are two main parts of a P-DAYS cup : The cup and a thin stem at the bottom to make
removal easier.
Before using P-DAYS Cup for the first time, it is important to read the directions on the packaging carefully and wash or sterilize it accordingly.
It is best to wash the hands well with soap and water before inserting or removing a P-DAYS Cup.
To insert it, fold the top of the cup and push it into the vagina, aiming it toward the lower back. Some
people find insertion easier when they are squatting. Others prefer to be standing, sometimes with
one foot raised, on the edge of the bathtub, for example.
Folding the cup correctly can seem complicated at first, but there are several methods to try. Some of
the more popular folds include:
C-fold or U-fold: Press the sides of the P-DAYS Cup together so that from the top it resembles a long
oval. Fold the P-DAYS Cup in half, so it looks like the letters C or U.
Punch-down fold: Put a finger on the top rim of the P-DAYS Cup and push it into the center of the
P-DAYS Cup (near the base), forming a triangle.
7-fold: Press the sides of the P-DAYS Cup together so that from the top it resembles a long oval. Fold
one side down diagonally, so it looks like the number 7.
Once the rim of the P-DAYS Cup is in, continue to push the cup into the vagina until the entire cup and
stem are inside. The P-DAYS Cup should “pop” open, preventing any menstrual blood from leaking. To ensure this, hold
the cup by the base (not the stem) and turn it one full circle, or 360 degrees.
Some people run their finger along the rim of the cup to ensure that it is in the right place and has
opened correctly.
When it is in the right place, most people cannot feel it and can forget that it is there.
