I got my cup delivered yesterday. I decided to try it out bc many girls told me that it's more comfy than a pad. But looking at the comments, now I'm freaking out.

I want to try a cup, but I can’t fit anything up there (other then a finger and maybe a small tampon) and when i’m at school, it’s gonna be messy?

It could take some time for you to get used to a menstrual cup or disc, if you want to give it a try, I will recommend the XS/Teen Cup or the Pixie Disc Small, these are 2 of the smallest disc/cup options on the market. Depending on your flow, you may not need to empty your cup/disc while at school, we do carry products to try and make it easier in public restrooms though.

Hey, I'm the same way and it took me a few days of trying to even insert it the first time but it got a lot easier after that! I think you'll be okay, just be patient and you can wear the cup for up to 12 hours, so you never really have to empty it in public maybe unless you're traveling

I have been trying everything possible with my cup to open and on my last period I accidentaly tryed something that is making my cup open every single time on the first try- put it in your favorite fold, insert HALF way- so half of the cup is still outside of your vulva. Release it and wiggle it to open. Now just pust it by the pin inside to the place where you place it usually. It is much easyer to let it open while it is still partially outside so you can play with it with fingers. Hope it helps ❤

Using water as lubricant is also fine. Does the same trick for me

You need to try some easy fold that is not hard to keep the grip on. Also, hold the cup tightly from bottom so that you can fully insert it in before it opens

So helpful, thank you !

One leg up in the shower or even outside of the shower. Twisting and bearing down or pushing the middle part of the bottom of the cup....and it goes up higher than you think. Not all the way up in the vaginal fornication but just at the opening. If you are brand new try a firmer cup or if you are sensitive try a less firm cup and try different folds before you actually start your period. But use lube because it's different when you don't have all that moisture to help the cup glide easier. Your first day on your cycle will most likely need to be changed more frequently. And wear a back up pair of period undies or a pad reusable or disposable. Goodluck!

Hi, so I haven't gotten my period yet... And I have some questions 😗 First, I saw you reply to another comment that you prefer these over tampons bc less cramping, wdym? Do you get more cramps with tampons? Second, to take it out do you just reach in? Third, can it move or tip over? Fourth when you put it in do you have to stick it uncomfortably high? Hope you see this reply!

During and after your period, your cervix with change a tiny bit. It is definan6something to research as well. Our bodies are such amazing vessel's! I usually just bear down or act like im pushing a doo doo or baby out [lol 😆] and I can feel the tab or part of the cup that help you reach. You have to break.the seal though! Its really.not horrible. I feel, everyone should be in touch with there bodies. And you must know who you are before you can have a happy relationship. Thats a whole different conversation though!

Do you feel like your cup opens all the way without any folds after you insert it? If your cup does open all the way, you many need to size up to a larger cup so that it creates a better seal.

Try to insert little finger i.e. pinky finger cleanly washed, and Nails trimmed And insert this pinky finger during ur periods or 1 or 2 days before ur prds date, cos vaginal is gycerin like wet at that time so it doesn't cause friction Also, remember Do you wash ur vulvar region with water and soap properly regularly during bathing? if not , that means u r not taking care of n knowing ur own body and health A boy can touch , pull foreskin back and clean his penis, as he has right to his personal body n care, so do u have too Even if u don't use a cup, it is always good to take care of ur genital areas U can check by inserting pinky finger as a normal check up to see if u have high cervix or low just for ur own body knowledge and health awareness, isn't it?

We do not recommend using oil based lubricant as the oils can degrade silicone. Water based Lube like our Pixie Lube is recommend!

How many times do you need to take it out? Im asking for heavy flow girls. It looks like a dozen trips to the washrooms. Then fear of touching blood even if its my own, when you remove the cup doesn't it spill in back inside you and also all over your hands? 💀 If i had wore it, i would really want to clean inside me with water or I'd feel so dirty. I'm not trying to criticize by the way, I am just thinking of how this will never work for me. Personal opinion.

@pixiecup

It depends on your flow, but you may have to remove it every few hours if you have heavy flow. Typically a menstrual cup can be comfortably emptied every 6 hours on average depending on the size of the cup. If you remove the cup before it's too full, emptying it shouldn't be messy and you should be able to dump the contents in the toilet. However, using a menstrual cup isn't for everyone, but it can be well worth the try! :)
