As far as we can tell, 30 is a mostly arbitrary age cut-off, but your menstrual flow and pelvic width might be a better marker. As always, you know your body best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTo insert the cup\u003c\/strong\u003e, fold the sides and insert in your vagina. It's best to do this in a position where you're as relaxed as possible. Once the Diva Cup is fully inside you, grip the base of the cup and turn it slightly in either direction - this creates a seal to prevent leaks. To remove, pinch the base of the cup and pull down gently until you are able to take it out (pulling on an angle may help). Make sure to keep squeezing the base until it's all the way out, so that it doesn't pop open unexpectedly. We'd recommend trying this a couple times when you're not menstruating, just to get used to the process!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[[[Specifications]]]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/venusenvy.ca\/pages\/sex-ed-about-toy-materials\" title=\"About Toy Materials\"\u003eMedical-grade silicone\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade In\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCanada\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel 0\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eHolds up to 0.5 fl oz of liquid (4 tampons)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel 1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eHolds up to 1 fl oz of liquid (6 tampons)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel 2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eHolds up to 1.1 fl oz of liquid (6 tampons)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes a drawstring bag for storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[[[Care Instructions]]]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo clean, simply wash with hot soapy water.
