First-time cup woes

[arynna]

First off, really excited that this community exists! The discussion and resources here are what convinced me to try out menstrual cups, and even though I'm having trouble right now, I'm hoping that they'll end up being a permanent part of my life.

I read kuradi8's wonderful post, of course, as well as cup reviews here & on Amazon, fold tutorials

Another trick is to use a little bit of numbing gel (Orajel or whatever they market for babies teething) around the entrance when things get a little sore. the downside is that you then won't be able to feel very well where you're aiming. But it's definitely helpful the first few months!
