Mooncup help, it won't open

[DaanSaaf]

I'm having a fucker of a period, having to empty the cup every couple of hours. Trouble is, I can't get the thing to pop open now. I've had a feel around and it all feels swollen inside so there's no enough room for it to open. Any tricks/ideas?

Sometimes they just pop open by themselves. Wear a pad and move around for a minute, lots of bending over, crouching and getting up again, and hopefully it'll sort itself out.

I find the more stressed I get, the more I tense and the less luck I have popping it open. Have you tried a different fold to insert it? Sometimes that helps.

Take it out, fold it the other way and try again :) Mine will open if I can manage to twist it while it's inside. Alternatively give yourself a break and wear a pad for a few hours.

I think I've popped it after a few lunges I've only had this problem once or twice before and I'm a mooncup veteran, thought maybe there was a secret trick I didn't know about. Thanks all.

Wait a minute, fold the other way?? I thought there was only one way to fold it

There are loads of different folds! I don't get on with the C-fold so I use the "punchdown".
