So after seeing so many of yous hyping about menstrual cups, I decided to buy one. Mine is from OrganiCup.

I love the whole concept, helping the environment AND my body. No pads. No rashes. No layers of panties. No changing constantly. No worrying about leaks. All these sounded like a dream come true. So I just went ahead and bought one... In a 2 for 1 offer.

But. Now that my periods started. And it's day 2 of using my cup. I feel like kind of regret it?

Putting it in takes me at least 30 mins. And then trying to get it to sit right takes another 30 mins, until I give up. And I know it's not sitting right because I have read everywhere that you're not supposed to feel the cup, but I can feel something is there. It doesn't necessarily hurt, sting, or feel uncomfortable. It's just I can feel something is there. I could forget about it or get used to the feeling, but if I move my position, I will feel the cup when my muscle clenches. I am not necessarily complaining about feeling it, but knowing the fact that it's not done properly after all the struggle is really fucking my head. And then taking it out is a whole different struggle. Today I spend 50 mins getting the cup out. When I woke up in the morning, it was like it wasn't even there, so in my head I got happy thinking, maybe it automatically fixed itself. Until when it came to me taking it out, and I realised it's gone way too in to the vagina for me to feel it. I was late to uni because I spent first 50 mins just doing that, without even brushing my teeth. I didn't even bother to put it back in after cleaning it. I continued with pads throughout the day. After I got home, I decided to give this another try. And although putting it in this time wasn't that hard, I can definitely still feel it today, and even more than yesterday. And I can also see that it's one sided. I have tried another hour trying to balance it and twist it around so it fixes. But nope. I gave up on it again and wore a pad with it just in case it does leak.

I know it's just two days. But if one things gives me this much stress, pain, and anxiety, idk how I could continue with it.

Tbh, because of its pros, I am willing to try more, if you guys could just share your stories of your first times, and how you overcame the struggles if you did have any. Maybe I am doing something wrong idk.
