First time cup user...
So I never thought twice about cups. I have always used tampons and have never really had an issue with them. Which is why it surprised me when I suddenly became interested in the cup.
I ordered one and it came in the end of day 2 of my period. I was kind of relieved that I would get to try it on my lighter days. Yesterday I put it in and had trouble getting it to open (despite the tons or articles and videos I researched). I put it in and took it out a few times with no luck. I have an 11 month old running around though so I didn't have alot of time to invest right then.
Well right before bed I tried again and after walking around a bit it seemed to open. So I went to bed. I woke up with no leaks so it must have been in right.
I get in the shower and y'all, I can't get it out! I was never worried about struggling to get it out because I put it in and took it out so many times before it opened, I didn't think it'd be an issue.
After a solid 5-7 minutes (and a little panic) I got it out 😲.
I washed it, put it back in (I think it opened?) and now I'm at work. I keep thinking I'm crazy for chancing wearing it at work when 1. I don't know if it's in right and 2. I don't think I'll be able to get it out in my work public bathroom if I need to 😕.
Wish me luck! lol. Any tips to get it out would be appreciated as well. I relaxed, beared down, reached as far as I could in there, pushed on it to break the seal....and honestly I'm not sure what actually worked to get it out.
