HOW I GOT RID OF MY CRAMPS FROM HELL!!!!!

Hey ladies, so as long as I can remember I’ve had cramps so bad that I couldn’t move and no amount of pain meds would touch. 😭😭 I had to sleep with a heating pad for a week... (PSA did you know period cramp pain is equivalent to having a heart attack!?)

Anyways about a year or so ago I started birth control but also starting using a menstrual cup at the same time. I noticed that my cramps started to get better, now I only have cramps the first day or so and they are not nearly as bad!

Fast forward to this week, I had to work a 24h shift and guess who showed up 🙄. Needless to say I didn’t have my cup with me and I had to use a tampon; and I felt miserable all night long.

At first I thought it was all in my head but as soon as I got home, changed, and got a shower I felt soo much better!

Then I realized that when I wear my cup it doesn’t touch my cervix but when I wear a tampon it does... which contributed to more cramping. I can’t believe that I wore tampons for 11 years and didn’t realize that I felt so miserable all because they were touching my cervix! 😯 which honestly makes so much sense..

Well if you made it this long thanks for reading! I hope this helps someone and if you’ve ever considered getting a cup just do it it’s been the best decision I’ve made!

Xoxo 😘
