Okay so, this is day 2 of me wearing the June cup and let me say, its amazing! This is my first menstrual cup I've tried and I shocked myself how easily I caught on and found a way for it to work great for me!!

[anicspds]

I thinks is the best thing ever! I was very curious about and decided to buy it since it was on sale.
It was soooo easy to apply for me. Literally, I just followed the instructions and that was it. Didn’t leak at all, no discomfort. Nothing. I’m on my third day of trying it and I have no have any issues.
I guess I’m just lucky, because as soon as I insert it, it opens up. I read many people having issues, but I guess we are all different.
I would def recommend this.

I just got my cup and I love it! It doesn't bother me at all and it makes me feel like I'm not on my period at all.

Thank you! I just ordered and I saved this video. Very informative!

How far does it go in? Like does the part at the end go in too? Or does it stay out in order to pull it out? (Like the string of a tampon)

[tewd]

That was such a good explanation 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

I was super excited to try as I have been an avid tampon user for years recently wanted to try out other options. I bought 3 due to the sale but unfortunately no matter what I do, it will not open up after being placed and I’m using the small. There is no rotating it after its placed. Super bummed about it!

I'm so glad I came across this video! It may be the only one that gave the punch fold which works great for me as a beginner.

Just now I'm using the June cup for the first time. Let's see how I go. I'm using a small pad just in case.

[ashleyanastasia]

I really like mine! It was a little hard to rotate, but also my first cup, I can’t feel it at all!

[swtrevelation]

Wait, how do you remove it afterwards when it’s full?

Hey experts, I tried using the cup for the second time (the first time I tried, it was a major failure). Somehow, after hours of struggle I inserted the cup, but for some reason the cup would not open inside. It will stay the same way (the way I inserted it was the push down method. I tried the other method as well, but the cup just won't go in. Hence, the push down method is suitable for me). I NEED HELP. I am left with 0 energy now. I think I will faint because no kidding, I am literally trying to insert this from the past 1.5 hours with no luck. SOMEONE HELP Why is this not opening inside. Should I try a S cup? I am trying a M cup cuz someone suggested that the M cup is recommended for early 20's till pregnancy and after pregnancy we should use the L cup. S cup is for teens (at least that's what I heard). What should I do? Me is panicking right now.

this seems scary but I'm gonna give it a try

[jegallant]

No matter what I did, it would not pop open. I had to use one of my other cups.

[Siahtama]

I have copper IUD, is it still safe use the June cup?

[KailuaChick]

I bought one and I tried so many times but had no luck using it :(

[domosjourney]

I love the small cup, but it got stuck today! It was too far up there and I had to birth it out in the shower lol. I'm trying to use the large cup but it won't pop open and it's leaking. What should I do? The small one is more comfortable and it opens but my cervix is high I think. Any tips? Thanks!

[maryphillips]

Why won't it lete share to Instagram? It only gives the 'individual" share option

[sph_]

i just ordered one and it brought me to this video, can someone tell me if its supposed to be all the way inside you or actually stick out like on the demo?

[labell]

My only issue (which may be just me) is that I have trouble getting the cup to unfold once inserted. Once it’s in and open then it’s great. But it takes a lot of maneuvering for me to get it.
