Me Luna® menstrual cups should not be inserted too shallow or close to the vaginal entrance because this could cause discomfort when sitting down. To avoid leakage, make sure that your Me Luna® menstrual cup unfolds completely after inserting it into the vagina. You can check this by twisting the menstrual cup slightly or follow the rim with your finger after insertion.
