Instructions for Using the Softcup
For TTC couples, the Softcup can be inserted after procreative lovemaking while the semen is near the cervix to promote conception. Alternately, the Softcup may be inserted with semen directly deposited in the Softcup reservoir. Note that the Softcups cannot be re-used and should not be worn for more than 12 hours. For TTC application, only a fraction of that time is required.
Using the Instead Softcup, like anything, requires just a bit of getting used to. That means it might be a bit awkward at first and take a moment or two of practice to insert the Softcup properly and comfortably. Below are some basic learning tips. A complete instructional guide comes with each Softcup order.
Unlike tampons, when inserting the Softcup, PUSH BACK - and not up - for correct Softcup placement.
To insert the Softcup, ensure that the hands are clean. Squeeze the Softcup by compressing the opposite sides of the rim together.
Keeping the rims pinched together, insert into the vagina as far back as it will go and place under the cervix and behind the pubic bone. Complete instructions provide detailed step by step help.
When removing the Softcup, use your middle finger to gently hook under the Softcup rim. When you are ready to remove the Softcup, avoid pulling the cup straight down. Instead, keep the cup level to the floor to avoid spilling any contents.
For use as feminine protection instead of a tampon, the Instead Softcup can often be worn twice as long as a tampon.
The Softcups cannot be re-used and should not be worn for more than 12 hours. For use as a fertility aid, only a fraction of that time should be required.
It's Safe! The Softcup is also safe to use. The Softcup by Instead has had extensive toxicology, biocompatibility and microbiological laboratory and human clinical testing. All results support its safety. The Softcup is non-toxic, hypo-allergenic and safe when used as directed. The Softcup has filed with the FDA for clearance for fertility market use.
