The 4 key tips for using the CelluBlue anti-cellulite cup correctly
- Always use a rich oil during your massages. We have developed a Massage Oil specially for use with the Cup. It is compatible with medical-grade silicone.
- Always work in upward strokes, without going back and forth. Stick to this direction throughout the massage, otherwise you may end up with bruising.
- Don’t press too hard on the Cup, especially during your first sessions. There’s no need for the massage to hurt!
- Remember to drink 3 large glasses of water after each session.
If in doubt, we recommend consulting your doctor before using the CelluBlue Cup.
Step-by-step guide: how to use the CelluBlue Cup on your stomach and thighs
The CelluBlue Cup can be used on any area affected by orange peel skin: the thighs, buttocks, calves, hips and arms, as well as the stomach. Whether you’re working on your stomach or your thighs, a session follows the same steps:
- Check the area before you start and don’t massage irritated skin.
- Apply plenty of rich oil so the cup glides smoothly throughout the massage.
- Start with gentle suction, especially during your first sessions.
- Glide the cup in upward strokes, without going back and forth.
- Watch how your skin reacts, then adjust the pressure gradually.
- Drink 3 large glasses of water after your session.
The instructions on our website explain how to use the cup in detail. If you’re unsure about a particular area or have sensitive skin, ask your doctor for advice.
The cupping tool that replicates pinching and rolling, 3 minutes per zone
- The professionals' technique, at home: you lift, glide, and release, and the tool grips the skin fold like a manual pinching and rolling
- Soft silicone that fits thighs, buttocks, stomach, and arms
- 3 minutes per zone, every day, always with a massage oil so the tool glides
Your first sessions: take it gradually
When you first start using the cup, stick to gentle suction and plenty of oil. Keep an eye on how your skin reacts from one session to the next before applying more pressure. Consistency, smooth gliding and a gradual approach matter more than strong suction.
If the area stays sensitive, don’t give up straight away: leave more time between sessions, then start again with less pressure, more oil and more controlled strokes.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Massaging without oil, or with too little: the cup won’t glide properly and the massage becomes uncomfortable.
- Going back and forth instead of always working upwards.
- Pressing too hard from the very first sessions, thinking it needs to hurt.
- Massaging irritated skin instead of waiting for it to settle.
- Doing sessions back to back while the area is still sensitive, or going straight back to the same intensity.
- Ignoring sensitivity that doesn’t go away: if this happens, ask your doctor or a medical professional for advice.

Before your next session
Before restarting, keep the routine simple: one area, light pressure, enough oil and a short session. That makes it easier to see whether the skin tolerates the return to massage without bringing the issue back too quickly.
During the first sessions back, comfort, consistency and observation matter more than immediate results. If the symptom comes back despite a lighter routine, stop and seek medical advice.
