Menstrual Cup Q&A: My Menstrual Cup Slides Down, What Should I Do?

If Your Menstrual Cup Slides Down, Here’s What To Do:

To prevent your menstrual cup from sliding down (or falling) during wear, such as while walking or running, here’s a quick tip:

While inserting your menstrual cup simultaneously “push” downward with your vaginal muscles. This involves you pretending to push out a bowel movement. When the cup is the highest it will go, you can then release the muscles. This effectively “sucks” the cup up slightly higher for a more secure fit. Ta-da!

If your menstrual cup slides down even after trying this tip you may need a wider diameter cup or a firmer cup. You can try taking our menstrual cup quiz to find the perfect fit for your needs. Follow @PeriodNirvana to find other video tips.
