So this is my second period using my diva cup and I can definitely say there is a learning curve to it. Like at the ending of my first week I was like no way it's gonna ever get any easier. But it was so weird bc the first day of this months period, it was so much easier to put in! And take out! I was so amazed. But pro tip to people that are barley starting (even tho I'm still a beginner) if you can't take your cup out because it's too far up there, just keep it inside until it fills up.
