<br />Inserting Your Dutchess Cup 
<br />1. After washing your hands, simply fold your Dutchess Cup by pressing the sides of the lightweight, flexible cup together 
<br />2. Then, fold the cup in half again 
<br />3. Now, hold the folded Dutchess cup between your thumb and index finger 
<br />4. To insert The Dutchess Cup, sit on the toilet (or in an equally comfortable position) and insert your folded Dutchess Cup completely into the vagina. Let the cup unfold by releasing your fingers. 
<br />5. After inserting, gently rotate it with your fingertips, before gently pulling it down and forward into position at your vaginal opening. Gently pull on the stem and you should feel that your Dutchess Cup is firmly in place. 
<br />
<br />Removing The Dutchess Cup 
<br />1. Sit on the toilet and grasp the stem firmly so that the tips of your fingers pinch the base of the cup. This action allows air to enter around the cup, releasing the suction, and making it easy to remove. 
<br />2. Ease your Dutchess Cup gently forward and downward, supporting the bottom of the cup with your fingertips to prevent spilling. 
<br />3. Empty the contents of the cup into the toilet. 
<br />4. If you are still having your period and want to reinsert your Dutchess cup, simply rinse it or wipe it with a tissue and reinsert. 
<br />5. At the end of your menstrual period, wash The Dutchess Cup in soapy water - or it can be rinsed (not soaked) in dilute vinegar solution (1 part vinegar to 9 parts water). Rinse it in this solution for no more than 3 minutes. 
<br />6. Let your Dutchess cup air dry. Place your Dutchess Cup in the convenient satin bag it came in to store it between periods.
