Suction, Suction, Suction!

I've been reading the archives and there are many posts with questions and remarks about suction -- especially from new cup users.  Many use the word SUCTION when they actually should use SEAL

The getting it out suction is what was hardest. Can I kegel it down without breaking the suction, because reaching up to break it was a big problem. Then I was squeezing it too hard so if it had been even half full of liquid I'd have had trouble getting it out without it going over the top. Just pinching the bottom of my lunette didn't seem to break anything.

You need to get air into/above the cup. Since there's no air in your vagina, that air has to come from outside it. Create an air channel with your finger. Since your pubic bone is in the way in the front, try doing so toward the back where it's softer.

Kegeling (tightening the PC muscles) will usually push the cup up. Try relaxing (opening up) and bearing down instead.

hmn it didn't seem to move up when I kegeled. Weak muscles?
I couldn't reach up high enough to reach the rim, and just pushing the base wasn't working... and I couldn't push it out too mcuh just by pushing.
By 'doing so toward the back' do you mean finger 'above' it, pushing it towards the back?

I'm doing another dry run right now and I'll need to take it out sometime soon so it'd be good to improve. :)

Everyone inserts and removes a little differently. You just need to figure out what method(s) works best for you. Read the REMOVAL tags for ideas and suggestions. It's OK to combine some of this, some of that. It all boils down to practice, practice, practice.

As for dry runs, they're DRY. Don't overdo it and irritate yourself. :o)
