Arghhh I feel so anxious. It’s in. It didn’t “pop open”? I put it in and my vagina seemed to have sucked it up. Now I’m scared I won’t be able to get it out? I actually have the Dutchess and the stem isn’t that long. It feels fine, and doesn’t hurt. But my god I’m anxious!

I have a very high cervix so mine definitely sits higher than expected. I got a soft meluna with no stem as the mooncup I got from Boots was uncomfortable. I could feel it.

I love mine. I don’t generally empty during the day and I do have a heavy flow for the first day or so.

I had to use a tampon last period because I ruined my last cup (left it in too long as I forgot about it - the stench was unholy!) and it was awful. Just aware of it the whole time, felt awful going in and worse coming out as it wasn’t in long enough.

@DemToes what makes you think it won’t work for you?
