I’ve been searching up solutions a lot and everyone says to lubricate it and to make sure to push it in the correct direction, and i have been doing both of those things. I’ve used ( Read more... )

Hi all, I had a very eventful morning this morning and had to go to the doctors to remove my cup. My vagina is quite sore (understandably) but I want to use it again. ATM I'm using a pad but I'm wondering when I should try again? I want to do it again so I don't scare my body/mind away from it.

Hi all, I'm new to menstrual cups and have been practicing for a few months with a regular size FemmyCup. I love the cup and really want it to work for me, my only issue is with insertion, but I can't find any info on my specific issue and was hoping someone here would have insight!

Hello! I mostly used a MeLuna M Classic before, but it was absolute length for my anatomy and I have been wanting a bigger capacity cup + a wider/stronger one to give me more confidence during sports. Trouble is that with most cups, capacity comes with length! Which was no option for me. So after a lot of research, tips from this livejournal and ( Read more... )
