The insertion unit includes a first magnet sealed in a bottom portion of the insertion unit. The device also includes an outer fixed unit to be placed under the cup. The outer fixed unit includes a second magnet sealed in the upper portion of the outer fixed unit for interacting with the first magnet of the insertion unit and securing the insertion unit to the cup by a magnetic force between the magnets.
