Mooncup arrived today-I am scared!

[claireybee]

It is bigger than I was expecting, and the silicone is thicker and it is more rigid than I thought it would be!

Surely it is blimmin uncomfortable to wear? You lot convinced me to get one now persuade me to actually use it!

It takes getting used to, I had it a month before I dared try it. The key is folding it up (as directed) to get it in and get it out. Not uncomfortable to wear when you get it in the right place.

the first month I just looked at it
the second month I tried it a couple of times, no problem to wear it but had trouble getting it out (not difficult, just a bit tender afterwards until I got it right)
the third month we were away with no problems!

good luck

Firstly, cut the stem right off. Practise folding it ready for insertion. Then have a go, really, I cannot tell I am wearing it at all after the first couple of goes.

It really is surprisingly comfortable, although I'll agree, it isn't pretty. Fold it to insert, and then just run your finger round once it's in to make sure it's opened out fully and is comfortable. You wait - you'll be evangelising in no time

I had a go today and you're right, it is no problem to get in and I couldn't feel it at all once it was but it ws tricky to get out, I guess that just takes a bit of practice...
