First Time!!! EDIT

Hey y’all I just have a quick question. This is my first time using the Diva Cup and I don’t know if I did it right? The directions told me to fold it into like a tight U shape which I did and insert it inside me, which I did. I just don’t know if it “opened” back up inside me, I’m anxious that’s it’s just sitting in there still folded and it won’t catch any blood or anything? Help?

EDIT: ALSO there should be a way better way of getting it out!!! I just had a goddamn panic attack because my vagina literally swallowed the thing 😂 it was so hard and no grip at all to take it back out!!!
