Really pleased with Mooncup - got it on Tuesday and it seems great, but just slightly concerned that it says "sits lower than tampon" when in fact i find it is not comfortable unless it's quite high up (I haven't trrimmed the stem as I am afraid I wont be able to get hold of the damn thing at all if I do). Maybe it's because it's high up that I find it quite fiddly and difficult/slow to remove though. Is this OK? Does anyone elsee find it quite hard to remove? It doesnt matter that it's a faff, because I only need to remove it three times a day; breakfast time, teattime and just before bed, so I dont mind a little inconvenience if it's that infrequently, but I'd like some reassurance that it is OK for it to be fitted quite high up and that it is ok for it to be quite difficult to get hold of and remove. It's fine once I can actually get hold of the end of the cup and squeeze to release, but getting a hold of it suffuciently well to squeeze it is difficult. I cant get a finger in alongside like it says is one option, I have tried that a few times, but it doesn't seem like there's enough room to do that and it feels really uncomfirtable to try, so I have to do the squeezing the end thing to release, but that means getting a good grip, which I do find awkward and takes me a minute or so, as it's so far inside! Other than that I'm very pleased with the product.
