0:19 for anyone out there in tears because you're struggling trying to figure out how to get a grip like this, this was me 2 months ago. What I did until it became more natural for me: I use to insert it too far (was and am still learning) but roughly it adjusts itself roughly to the same area every time. I've found that if I squat and push my pelvis forward as far as I can, I can then slide my thumb down my body(backside of my thumb against my body and curved like a thumbs down)and inside deep enough to reach the base of the cup, then I take my middle finger and slide it down my thumb until I reach the other side of the cup and from there, you should be good to go to slowly wiggle and exit.

For anyone panicking because you can’t take your cup out, I found it extremely helpful to push (as if you’re pushing out a baby). I was getting so frustrated because I felt like my fingers were just shoving the cup deeper. By getting my fingers in and then pushing the cup out hard, I was able to pinch the cup and pull it out successfully! ❤ you got this!

you literally have to relax or it will not come out. I think that is really the most emphasized/important part

It’s just very difficult to pinch the suction cup.

I'm wearing my first cup for the first time today. It's scarier to take it out than to put it in, because it is much more uncomfortable to take it out, maybe because I made a mistake. 😅 But so far, I love it! This is life changing y'all! Probably the best period of my life! 💯❤️

Really glad for those who recommended bearing down when you go to pinch & remove, that did the trick after not being able to get a grip on the cup

To new ppl using menstrual cups here are the extra tips I’ve discovered that help as a beginner.
1.) menstrual cups last longer than tampons (up to 12 hrs) & you get to learn what actually is your flow type. I had been using super and super plus tampons for years and once I started using menstrual cups I discovered that even if I have my cup in over night (8hrs) the cup would only be 1/3 to 1/2 full
2.) once u wake up in the morning go to the shower and use it as the place to remove ur cup(less stress of dropping it in the loo & the warm water can relax you, making it easier to come out) then after work jump straight into the shower again to remove it.
3.) it’s a lot easier to use ur thumb and your middle finger as its longer to pinch and pull the cup down.
4.) the best tip to stop leakage is once u have removed and rinsed the cup wipe all 4 suction holes that are near the top of the cup if these have any left over water in them they will leak.
Hope this helps gurlies Ik it can be scary using a cup for the first time( I was too) but you genuinely will be better off once u get the hang of it. And hey! No more spending money on period products each month!

My first time using it today. I think my cervix is high because the stem was difficult to reach. I found using some toilet paper to dry off the area and then covering my fingers with it while wiggling and pulling helped with grip. Also using your muscles like you're having a poo helped the cup go down.

I was so excited because last night I was finally able to figure out how to get it in although I still need to learn how to position it correctly! But than the issue of getting it out came and now that's something else I have to master. Trying to break the seal felt like i was sucking out my insides!

[MgOrt]

Felt like I was pulling my insides out...then I watched your video. So much easier lol thank God

[MichellePollock]

I’m wearing mine for the first time today. It was sore to take out but I think I just tried to pull it straight out. I’m definitely going to try pinching and wiggling next change time. It felt fine when it was in which is good. It’s just hard not to panic lol

[kimberlyrangel]

The instructions keep saying this but I CANT REACH MY FINGERS AROUND THE CUP TO PINCH WITHOUT IT HURTING!! Not only is the diameter of the cup in my vagina but now I’ll also be putting 2 fingers in there which is obviously uncomfortable and not easy, any other tips???

[EmilyAndersen-dn]

Bless all you people in the comments. I was panicking feeling like I couldn’t grip and reach where I needed to. I had my husband trying to get it out for me 😂 that did not work haha I went to the comments and got it out 10 seconds later. The key for me was squatting a bit and pushing like I did for birth. I was able to grip it and wiggle it out! Yay! Now that I understand I know I will love this!

[imanimaldonado]

It took me an hour and a half, but I GOT IT!!! What helped me was:
-trying with another hand
-trying in the shower
-pushing in intervals like I’m pooping or giving birth
-someone said wiggle the stem until it’s far down enough that you can reach the base. This helped a lot, I pulled gently while wiggling the stem and eventually it was far out enough I held it with my other hand so I can reach the base with my hand
You got this!!!! ❤️

[katiedyck]

Thank you!!! I was terrified of putting it in because I knew that meant it had to came out. I spent a while trying to get it in only because of that fear. Finally I got it in. The stem was too long so I left it for only a while before putting on this video while I tried to pull it out. I got it out much faster then I put it in so thank you.
It did hurt to take it out but I did it fast so it was not as bad as when I slowly pull out my disc.
This is my only my second period using discs and now trying the cup, so I’m still getting used to it

[rebekahhahner]

It really helps to sit on the back of the toilet seat and push your pelvis forward (tilt your hips forward and squeeze your stomach). I was able to reach the cup much easier in this position.

[SodaColaClassic]

Relax? I've cried twice. Then found this. I'm hoping third time is the charm😅

[stephaniemazvita]

The base is slippery regardless of grips, it’s just so slippery and difficult to handle on the way out :(

[archannel]

While removing, in case if u r struggling to remove through normal method and it is deep inside.
Wash ur hands
1. Sit in squat position and relax.
2. Hold the stalk of cup firmly with ur index n thumb finger
3. Push it out with the help of ur body, like how u push a baby or poop. Due to this pressure it can come out easily
4. Don't forcely pull it out, while pushing through body, slightly move the cup back n forth, so tht the movement help in removing suction
5. While doing this, almost the cup will reach to ur finger, later hold the cup, pinch n pull it out.

I tried menstrual cup today, damn! Inserting it was smooth and sweet but removing it was real war. I freaked out 😂😂. But then it’s really worth it. I love ittt. Better than tampons and pads 💯
