I decided to give the cup a try and got myself an Organicup. I have only used it one time.

Insertion was painful, but once I got it in, the cup opened and settled quite well. I was comfortable for the first hour, but once I laid down on my bed I leaked a bit and it started to hurt my stomach. It felt like I was bloated. Decided to remove it once it became unbearable and found that the cup had gone in pretty deep and sort of tilted? Like I could feel the stem was at an angle and jammed just behind my pubic bone. Fishing it out was SO painful!

Is it normal to feel this way? Should I keep going? Any tips, advice or explanations would help.

Also don’t know how important this info is, but I haven’t had sex yet.
