SOCH Cup (by Si-Bell) User’s Guide
Si-Bell’s USER GUIDE - ENGLISH
WELCOME
Thank you for choosing Si-Bell, a reusable menstrual cup made of medical grade silicone. Si-Bell is hypoallergenic and
without latex. Si-Bell has been designed to be folded and inserted into your vagina, allowing a healthier and eco-
friendlier alternative to tampons and towels.
Once inserted, Si-Bell opens up and takes place in the lower part of the vagina, thus it is held in place by the pressure
of your vaginal muscles.
Si-Bell has to be emptied, rinse and reinserted every 4 to 8 hours.
Si-Bell can be used overnight, travelling or when practising physical activity such as swimming, running and so on,
without any risk.
Before using Si-Bell, we recommend you to read this user guide.
Please refer to the diagram 1: Cup description
A) Rim – B) Holes avoiding suction effect when removing Si-Bell – C) External ridges – D) Base of Si-Bell - E) Stem
BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Check that the 4 holes under the rim of the cup are well pierced.
Wash your hand and wash the Si-Bell with warm water and mild soap.
After rinsing the cup thoroughly, place-it in an allocated pan full of water and boil it for 5 to 7 minutes.
Your Si-Bell is now ready to be used.
NB
:
We advise you to practise inserting and removing your Si-Bell for the last two days of your period. Give yourself
plenty of time, and do not forget to relax!
Si-Bell INSERTION
Diagram 2: Folding technique
Si-Bell takes place lower than a tampon.
Wash your hand carefully, fold your Si-Bell in a U shape and hold onto it firmly with your finger and thumb, as
nearest as
possible of the cup base.
With your other hand, open the labia and insert the cup into your vagina, guiding it towards your lower back. Your
Si-Bell has to be placed around one phalanx of the vagina entrance.
Take off your fingers, and the Si-Bell will open by itself.

HOW TO REMOVE YOUR Si-Bell
A squatting position shortens the vagina and makes the Si-Bell removal easier
.
Diagram 4:
Empty your Si-Bell every 4 to 8 hours.
Wash your hand carefully.
In order to make the removal easier, you can sit on the toilet or you can squat.
Your vagina muscles do not have to be tensed, so relax.
If you cannot reach the base of the Si-Bell, pull gently on the stem.
If you cannot reach the stem of the cup, you can ‘push’ the Si-Bell using your vaginal muscles in order to make its
removal easier.
