MENSTRUAL CUPS: worse period pain??

H

I’m just curious, has anyone else (who has switched to using menstrual cups) noticed they have worse cramps/dull aching since using the cup? I never really get much in the way of cramping, rather a dull ache which isn’t painful which I know I’m extremely lucky for (thoughts are with you gals that experience extreme pain!). So it is hard to tell if this aching is just a worse period for me or whether it is correlated to using the cup?

The cup isn’t uncomfortable, I’ve tried my best to make sure it’s all correctly inserted and unfolded, and I really can’t feel it at all which is amazing, so I don’t think it’s down to that.

Any of your experiences with this would be appreciated!

ALSO! Any tips and tricks for pro cup users please also comment as I have only being using it for a week so am still new to it.

Thank you!
