menstrual cup first time

I tried my new menstrual cup for the first time because my mom recommended i try it out before i was actually on my period. i got it in without too much difficulty and it hurt a little but i expected that. But, when i took it out, it hurt a little more and there was blood all over the cup and my hands. I’ve never had sex, and i’ve read that tearing your hymen can cause bleeding. Is this true and what happened cause it kinda scared me😅

The hymen is not inside like that, it is an external bit of skin that most girls in the modern era tear during childhood running around or during sports. I’m sorry using the cup hurt.

The same thing happend to me the first time I used my cup. I used mine for the first time on the last two days of my period and same story. I am pretty sure i tore my hyman being as I wasn't really in any pain and I haven't had ANY issues at all like that since. So yeah it happens at least it did to me.

It probably hurt because you put it in while you weren’t on your period. The blood makes a bit of lubrication so it slides in and out easier. Some people do bleed when they break their Hyman, but the blood could also be from lack of lubrication.
