The Keeper Reusable Menstrual Cup:
Instructions for Use and Cleaning

Insertion

1. Simply press the sides of the light-weight, flexible cup together. Now, fold the cup in half again.
2. Hold the folded KEEPER between your thumb and index finger.
3. While sitting on the toilet or an equally relaxed position, simply insert the folded KEEPER completely into your vagina. (You may want to add a little KY Jelly around the rim of the cup for first time users for easier insertion until you're used to inserting your KEEPER).

The KEEPER is now in the correct position. The little cup follows the natural slant of the vagina.
The KEEPER does not touch the cervix, but rests comfortably below it. Be sure the pull-tab is at the entrance to the vagina. (The pull-tab may be too long for your personal needs - simply trim it to the length you desire. DO NOT TRIM THE TAB ALL THE WAY OFF).

The "7" Fold Method

1. Simply press the sides of the light-weight, flexible cup together.
2. Instead of folding in half again, fold one corner down so that the "LIPS" of the KEEPER form a shape like a "7".
3. Then follow the insertion and removal instructions.

Removal

1. While sitting on the toilet, bear down gently using your stomach muscles to bring the cup down and then grasp the pull-tab firmly so the tips of your fingers pinch the base of the cup. This action will allow air to enter around the cup, releasing the suction and making it easy to remove. (If your Keeper has risen to where it is difficult for you to grasp the pull-tab, just bear down gently using your stomach muscles to bring your Keeper down to the point where you can grasp the pull-tab).
2. Ease the cup gently downward supporting the bottom of the cup with your fingertips to prevent spilling.
3. Empty your cup and rinse or wipe your KEEPER, then simply reinsert.

Cleaning Instructions
Always wash your hands before removal and after insertion.

Out and About
When you are out and using a public restroom, wash your hands. After removal and emptying your cup, use either a damp paper towel, cloth or tissue to wipe your KEEPER or take a bottle of water in your stall with you to rinse your cup.

During Your Cycle
During your cycle, wash your KEEPER daily in hot, soapy water.

End of Your Cycle
At the end of your cycle, thoroughly wash your KEEPER in hot, soapy water and rinse thoroughly---DO NOT BOIL. Dry thoroughly and store your KEEPER in the convenient purse bag you received with your KEEPER.
