These are on sale right now, $6

[@BarbieandLana]

I am basically telling everyone I know haha

[@JUNECUP]

Thanks for sharing. We love it when customers spread the knowledge about menstrual cups.

[@andreac8437]

I ordered mine for $6 about a week ago. I'm so excited to get it. Havent used a cup in years.

[@Tune2dis41]

There still on sale for 6 bucks I just ordered mine this passed Friday am excited 😆

[@tseyang6079]

It is still on sale for $6. I ordered mine a few days because it was so cheap. I also ordered the cup cleanser and storage box.

[@jessicalynnie2536]

Okay so, this is day 2 of me wearing the June cup and let me say, its amazing! This is my first menstrual cup I've tried and I shocked myself how easily I caught on and found a way for it to work great for me!!

[@JUNECUP]

We are so excited! Thanks for sharing your success.

[@anicspds]

I thinks is the best thing ever! I was very curious about and decided to buy it since it was on sale. It was soooo easy to apply for me. Literally, I just followed the instructions and that was it. Didn’t leak at all, no discomfort. Nothing. I’m on my third day of trying it and I have no have any issues. I guess I’m just lucky, because as soon as I insert it, it opens up. I read many people having issues, but I guess we are all different. I would def recommend this.

[@Paukuang]

I'm using mine for first time. And it was a little bit hard it... I don't know if the little string has to be out or deep inside. I really want a used I hate pads .

[@sadcat3906]

I just got my cup and I love it! It doesn't bother me at all and it makes me feel like I'm not on my period at all.

[@gracerl]

But you’re a cat

[@pearlphlox]

@@gracerl lmao💀

[@julianneranft3827]

How far does it go in? Like does the part at the end go in too? Or does it stay out in order to pull it out? (Like the string of a tampon)

[@whoangelnever]

I was super excited to try as I have been an avid tampon user for years recently wanted to try out other options. I bought 3 due to the sale but unfortunately no matter what I do, it will not open up after being placed and I’m using the small. There is no rotating it after its placed. Super bummed about it!

[@JUNECUP]

Don't give up. We are going to post a lot more videos to help with the process and to get over the learning curve. If you're looking for immediate tips, check out our Facebook Group here: facebook.com/groups/205122780829614 There are so many awesome tricks that other June Cup users share for getting their cup in.

[@uprisingsun9105]

1. This is a soft cup. They are typically more comfortable, but sometimes not opening is their flaw 😂 2. Run under cold water before inserting to firm up the cup. 3. Insert with the fold facing back. Once it is in, press with your finger or fingers on the back wall of your vagina to let more air into the cup, inflating it. It takes a little practice to make perfect, but once you've got it, it's a lot easier

[@tary.n368]

@@JUNECUP I think a video about how high this should be placed would be helpful as well!

[@harumskarum3481]

Thank you! I just ordered and I saved this video. Very informative!

[@dansetteameliawilson3227]

I'm so glad I came across this video! It may be the only one that gave the punch fold which works great for me as a beginner.

[@tew04d]

That was such a good explanation 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@xiarabetancourt558]

Just now I'm using the June cup for the first time. Let's see how I go. I'm using a small pad just in case.

[@JUNECUP]

Hi Xaira, it's looks like you'll be on month 4. How are things going?

[@ashleyanastasia5326]

I really like mine! It was a little hard to rotate, but also my first cup, I can’t feel it at all!

[@JUNECUP]

That's awesome. Cheers to the cup :)

[@mahima_mary]

Hey experts, I tried using the cup for the second time (the first time I tried, it was a major failure). Somehow, after hours of struggle I inserted the cup, but for some reason the cup would not open inside. It will stay the same way (the way I inserted it was the push down method. I tried the other method as well, but the cup just won't go in. Hence, the push down method is suitable for me). I NEED HELP. I am left with 0 energy now. I think I will faint because no kidding, I am literally trying to insert this from the past 1.5 hours with no luck. SOMEONE HELP MEEEEEE. Why is this not opening inside. Should I try a S cup? I am trying a M cup cuz someone suggested that the M cup is recommended for early 20's till pregnancy and after pregnancy we should use the L cup. S cup is for teens (at least that's what I heard). What should I do? Me is panicking right now.

[@swtrevelation]

Wait, how do you remove it afterwards when it’s full?

[@RachelAntidormi]

you push in the bottom a little to remove suction and pull out

[@lisak5804]

Omg, right? I got it in and now I'm looking up videos to see how to take it out!

[@redolentblossom]

Lisa Russo what helps me to get it out easily is pushing as if i'm trying to poo, and it gets it low enough for me to squish the base to release the suction and pull it out

[@AnonymousBelle562]

I found this video to be very helpful in explaining this. I also found the videos in this channel about menstrual cups, how to care for them, use them etc to be quite helpful as well. “How to remove your menstrual cup, pain free!” kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJ3ceniGmtpmeJo

[@alannagust232]

Hopefully someone can answer this question for me. I just started using mine today & I'm not necessarily leaking but there is slight, very light spotting - is that going to happen regardless? Or should I be completely dry whenever I wipe if it's inserted correctly?

[@domosjourney7545]

I love the small cup, but it got stuck today! It was too far up there and I had to birth it out in the shower lol. I'm trying to use the large cup but it won't pop open and it's leaking. What should I do? The small one is more comfortable and it opens but my cervix is high I think. Any tips? Thanks!

[@JUNECUP]

Hi there! Thank you so much for reaching out and giving us a try - it can definitely be an adjustment when trying out a new cup. I would definitely recommend sticking with the small if it is the most comfortable for you, even if you have somewhat of a high cervix! If you are having trouble reaching the stem of your cup, try sitting at a different angle and bearing down with your muscles to locate the ball tip! You've got this💙

[@jegallant]

No matter what I did, it would not pop open. I had to use one of my other cups.

[@uprisingsun9105]

Ok I had trouble with this too. I have a few tips. For one thing, I think this cup is a softer cup, which makes it easier to insert, but harder to pop open. I suggest running it under cold water before inserting it, as it hardens the rubber slightly, making the cup more firm and more stubborn in returning to it's shape. The second thing I would suggest is inserting it with the fold facing back, and once it's in, using your finger to press on the back wall of your vagina. This helps let air inside a bit to inflate the cup. Otherwise the cup, while not suctioned, can still be lightly sealed around its top edge, not allowing any air in.

[@KailuaChick]

I bought one and I tried so many times but had no luck using it :(

[@Siahtama]

I have copper IUD, is it still safe use the June cup?

[@carmenruiz4549]

I have a copper iud and recently asked my doctor as well and she said it should be fine. My strings aren’t hanging low though. Some people have said that it has dislodged their iud but I read that’s extremely rare

[@ohhailsnow7812]

Make sure you release the suction of the cup by pinching at the cups base (those raised rings). You will feel the suction release, then you can pull the cup out.

[@AnaGarcia-sf2xe]

I have a copper iud and have been using cups for a little over a year! No problems! Just make sure you are aware of how long the string is and only pull from the base of the cup.

[@domosjourney7545]

The copper IUD did not work for me. I got pregnant and miscarried at 15 weeks when the IUD popped the baby's bag. It sucked. Just be careful!

[@s0ph_002]

i just ordered one and it brought me to this video, can someone tell me if its supposed to be all the way inside you or actually stick out like on the demo?

[@JUNECUP]

Hello! It will depend on the height of your personal cervix. For me, personally, the cup does not stick out at all. It should sit behind your pelvic bone at the widest part of your vagina. If you have not already, I would definitely recommend joining the JUNE community Facebook group for tips, tricks, and support: facebook.com/groups/205122780829614

[@maryphillips597]

Why won't it lete share to Instagram? It only gives the 'individual" share option

[@crystalv3686]

How often do you change it? Or do you leave it in for the duration of your period? Haha I’m thinking of buying one

[@mutedm0ss557]

this seems scary but I'm gonna give it a try

[@labell723]

My only issue (which may be just me) is that I have trouble getting the cup to unfold once inserted. Once it’s in and open then it’s great. But it takes a lot of maneuvering for me to get it.

[@JUNECUP]

We totally get it! Coaxing the cup to open can sometimes be tricky. We usually recommend running your finger along the base of the cup, gently twisting using the stem, and doing a few squats to help coax it open!

[@midnightmami2]

June how do I get this sucker out? Why is there no Instructional video for removing it. My fingers could not get a grip on the nipple with enough strength to get it out so I looked up videos on KZbin this lady is an angel maybe you could collaborate with her @sarahtran

[@akalilbit08]

What’s the difference between the large and small? The website mentions nothing about it

[@DeadSociety]

Look on their instagram, they answer questions all the time

[@chrisc1204]

When I looked on social media, they mentioned the large for women who've had children or with heavier flows. (25 ml vs 30 ml capacity. That doesn't help me at all, but that's what I found in Instagram.)

[@zerosurico]

The large cup holds a little more liquid and is also a bit bigger in size - but it isn't extreme. They generally recommend it for people who have had children or who have extremely heavy flow; but if it's your first cup you should definitely start with the small

[@mirhg7298]

I wonder if the size longe apply for women that had children by c-section?

[@sourgummiez]

Chris C how does that not answer your question???? It’s perfectly clear. If you’ve had children. Or if you have an extra heavy flow.

[@darshitachaturvedi3275]

Will the stem of cup remain out of the body ?

[@jnfire79]

No but it’s right under the lips

[@sinkingxstreet]

Depends on how high your cervix is. Mine is medium-high so it never sticks out once it scoots in place. Many women say that theirs does, though.

[@ayem8709]

i’m having a difficult time putting the smallest size in. it feels like half of the cup sticks out after suctioning itself 😭

[@myrtlebeachsara]

Same, I'm not used to it and can't get mine to go all the way in.

[@ayem8709]

Sara Byrd yeah! i eventually gave up and decided to try again next month, but it was very uncomfortable 😣

@@ayem8709 I'm going to keep trying but I would love to find a smaller one or one that has an applicator!

[@reena9393]

Try cutting the stem so it’s comfortable enough

[@roachianna5686]

@@reena9393 do not cut the stem!!

[@roachianna5686]

Do not cut the stem, it is there for a reason, it will get stuck inside of you.

[@blaze.eliana]

Try pulling from the base of the cup, rather than the stem.

[@leanntan3229]

@@roachianna5686 things dont get stuck or lost inside. She probably has a lower cervix or shorter vagina which can make it feel uncomfortable. Therefore it’s better to try cutting the stem. Worst case scenario if she’s unable to find her cup..she can try pushing out like when giving birth to push the cup lower until she can reach the cup. Don’t completely cut off the stem, cut little by little and see how it feels. It’s okay to complete cut off the stem if that makes it comfortable for u. I do that.

[@ellenp9063]

TMI ...OKAY... so I just tried it rn I got the smallest size and I put it in using he c shape and I could feel it a bit and thought to wait a bit so it can adjust in my vagina since this is my first time using this I thought it was normal so i did my usual routine around the house and so I could still feel it and i could feel the little ball at the end And i thought it was normal but then i sat down in a fetal position and i could really feel it and it felt uncomfortable, I also put a panty liner and when i went to take it out and adjust it I saw some blood on the panty liner and I thought it was odd bc these are supposed to not spill anyway I pulled it out gently and I found it to be slightly messy and Then i cleaned it and tried to insert it again but it just felt off and maybe it’s my vagina ? I’ll try again tomorrow but after trying two times It felt really uncomfortable and irritated down there so i just took it out I’m gonna try again tmrww bc i really hate pads and tampons

[@JUNECUP]

Hi there! Nothing is ever TMI! Hearing this, it sounds as though you may need to take some time to figure out your personal cervix height before inserting your cup. It can sometimes be uncomfortable if you have not inserted your cup far enough inside of your vaginal canal so that it can sit at the widest part of your vagina. I also recommend joining our JUNE Facebook Group for lots of awesome tips and tricks for starting cup life from other customers who have mastered their June Cups💙 Don't give up! facebook.com/groups/205122780829614

[@dazergurl]

Mine stays folded inside of me...I ordered a large bc I have a heavy period...what am I doing wrong?

[@roachianna5686]

Push the base

[@AnaGarcia-sf2xe]

You can try pushing up and turning it a bit to get it to pop open

[@hotlippsny]

I wanted to like this product but each month it gets successively worse. This is my 3rd month and even when there is a seal initially I can feel it moving. It wasn't doing that month 1 or 2. I always wear a pad because there is always some leaking which is definitely worse this month. And it's even slid out while using the bathroom a few times. Majorly disappointed. Maybe I'll try a different brand. I really wanted it to work.

[@echostorm1996]

I tried everything but the cup will simply not open up once in. And it caused me a lot of discomfort repeatedly trying to take it out, put it back in, and twisting it and moving it once inside to make it open. But no luck, every time it would still stay folded. I genuinely don't think there is a different technique I could try for it to work. Maybe my vaginal canal is just too narrow but I'm disappointed in this purchase.

[@JUNECUP]

Hello! You can also try running your fingers along the base of the cup to push out the air pockets gently, or using a bit of lube to help the cup open more easily once inserted. Some customers have had success with doing a couple of deep squats and then giving the stem a gentle pull. If this still does not seem to work for you, I would recommend trying out a different size! Don't give up! We are here to help!

[@Kallis-wq7xn]

My cup only pops when its sticking out of me more...when I push it up it folds. Does that just mean my vaginal canal is small or the cup is too big?

[@iniabelgarcia1948]

the same thing happened to me at first but at some point it popped. remember to pinch the base and rotate it

[@vanessac0382]

The base of the cup should be sitting on the pelvic bone so you can twist it. You have to push the cup past the pubic bone and it will pop open. Mine is softer than the June cup but I like it because I have a sensitive bladder. With softer cups it's easier to insert and remove but you have to be willing to touch around your vagina and it takes a bit more maneuvering

[@AN-tp4rs]

How the fuck do I take this thing out?! I feel like I learned how to ride a bike but no one ever taught me how to stop and now I’m headed straight towards a tree! 🤬

[@kahaddenwater7157]

I’m just too tight to fit one 😞

[@gp7493]

What was your issue?

[@gp7493]

As someone who went from using pads to a menstrual cup (straight away, have never used a tampon) I definitely get the tight issue. I thought I was gonna break my hymen LMAOO but you have to relax. If you don’t set your body loose and breathe in and out it’s never going to go in. You don’t want to be stiff because it’ll make it harder to put in. Your body is too tight and it’ll hurt (same thing applies when taking it out.)

[@shreyachaudhry8895]

For me what helps is pushing as if I’m going to poo. It widens the vaginal canal and makes it easier to insert

[@erin8558]

Omfg I can’t get it in

[@jaheriawilson19]

maybe try lube?? i had a hard time getting it in too

[@JUNECUP]

Hi Erin, my favorite tip is to use a little bit of water based lubricant or hop in the shower if you have access to one. Getting in the warm water always helps my muscles relax and also allows me to squat in a deep seated position which makes it easier to insert the cup at an angle.

There is a third fold they didn't show that works well for me called the 7 fold. You squish the cup flat, then fold one "corner" down to the opposite bottom "corner."
