HOW TO SQUEEZE EACH CUP
Our Cups are offered to Professionals and for Home Use. What we have found, is that even professionals find it difficult to use the silicone cups easily until they are trained. This is a technique that is not a western medicine or western health traditional practice and professionals as well as home users are all learning together.
We can say, however, don't get discouraged before you take a few minutes to learn. As we have discovered, with a little training, these cups can easily become a favorite. Cupping has just recently been introduced to the general public and Home Users with much success.
So let's get started!
When their is tissue adhesions or issues with the tissue, the cup will do one of two things.
- The cup will bog down and become difficult to move
- The tissue is like a road map for you. When the cup bogs down or pops off, it's an indication that this area needs work. As you work this area, you will notice the cups begins to glide or slide easily without popping off and without bogging down.
Supreme Cup
Below we have a picture of how to squeeze and apply suction using the Supreme Cups.
One Common mistake Licensed Providers and Home Users make when using these cups for the first time is to place the cup flat on the skin and attempt to push down on the cup. This does not work, and it is a very uncomfortable pressure on the body.
In the picture above, you will see how we have squeezed both sides of the cup prior to placing the cup anywhere near the body. This expels the air out of the cup so it can achieve strong suction once applied to the body.
Once you become more proficient at applying the cups, you can take the following short cut. Place the cup on the body. Using the squeeze method above, allow one side of the cup to touch the body. Use both hands to squeeze cup as shown below. Now allow both sides of the cup to touch the body and let go for suction.
The picture above shows how to squeeze the cup for strong suction. You can control the amount of suction by how thin you squeeze the cup. For half the suction, squeeze the cup half the amount.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When you first begin using the cups, many times they will either bog down and become difficult to move, or the cup will pop off. Untrained users will first think that this means the cup is not strong enough. Trained users know that when this happens, it is usually due to tissue adhesions and indicates that this area needs work. As you work this area, you will notice the tissue become more pliable and the cup will stop popping off and the cup will glide along this area easier. The tissue becomes your road map.
Now that you have learned to squeeze your cup and learned which cup to use, make sure you visit the Warnings & Contraindications Page and the Facial Cupping Demonstration page prior to beginning. To view these plus more information visit the Members Area cupping page.
WHICH CUP DO I USE?
Before you Begin learning about your cups and which cup to use. Please Take Note!! One common mistake is to go immediately to the largest up. Please don't do this. There are usually one to two cups that will work the best for each size of the area you are working on. We want to strongly encourage you to start with the smaller cup for the area and if the cup is gliding or moving well and not bogging down, then move to next size larger cup.
Starting with the smaller size cup for the area will decrease any unnecessary discomfort and discourage the fascia from fighting with you and against you.
Supreme Small Cup (Small Cup to the left)
- This cup is specifically designed with less suction than the others as it is designed to be used on the face. You would not want strong suction on the face as it would be more likely to leave suction marks or "Cup Kisses" as we call them.

- Posterior Neck Cupping (Always draining down)
- Top of your Hand
- Top of your Feet
PLEASE NOTE, THIS CUP DOES NOT HAVE STRONG SUCTION AS IT IS DESIGNED FOR THE DELICATE AREAS.
