The cup has many advantages of comfort and discretion, especially for women practicing water sports. Many girls are then asked the question: is it possible to use a menstrual cup when a virgin?
We respond in detail in this page and give you some tips in choosing your cup and its use.
Yes, it is possible to use a cup when you are a virgin
It is quite possible to use a menstrual cup for young virgin women. There is no particular contraindication to this.
As intravaginal protection, it is recommended to insert the cup very gradually and at your own pace in a relaxed way. The hymen must be wide enough to allow the menstrual cup to pass. As when using a buffer, it is possible for it to break. It should not interfere with you or cause pain. If necessary, do not hesitate to practice to make your mark. You can then try to insert and remove it several times until you are comfortable with these gestures.
To facilitate the insertion, do not hesitate to lubricate the cup and the entry of the vagina. You can use for it water or an intimate gel.
Once it is in place, check its tightness with your finger to avoid any risk of leakage.
Choose small menstrual cups
For virgin girls, it is recommended to favor small cups. Menses Cup offers a particularly suitable model: the Menses Cup Shorty. Designed for women with a short vagina, petite women or teenage girls, the Menses Cup Shorty is shorter than the classic model and will be easier to fit for a virgin woman.
Can use a menstrual cup make one lose one’s virginity?
Rest assured, using a cup can not make you lose your virginity. The opening of the hymen is often associated with the loss of virginity and by using intravaginal protection such as the menstrual cup, one has to relax it to allow the insertion of the cup. But many other situations can lead to piercing the hymen such as riding for example. A woman is, therefore, a virgin until she has had sex.
In summary, it is quite possible to use a menstrual cup when you are a virgin. We recommend going gradually to take in hand the cup easily without being unpleasant and get used to handling it in good conditions.
