Menstrual cup struggles (kind of TMI)

Rose

I just got my Lunette cup in the mail today, and I’m on day 4 of my period (it usually lasts 6-7 days). I tried to put it in but I was so dry down there! I tried a few times but it started really hurting, so I stopped. Is there anything I can do, or should I just wait until next period?

I have this problem. TMI but u gotta wait till you get wet or a bit bloody before you can slide it up there more smoothly still hurts a lil but though. Just gotta make sure you clean the residual blood or it will seem like you are leaking when you are not. Good luck!!

You can use a water based lubricant or just water. I usually wash my cup before I put it in and when I rinse it I rinse with really warm water wit h also helps to soften the cup a bit and make it easier to fold/insert

You could try putting it back in while in the shower, or use some kind of lubricant.
