Which menstrual cup?

I ordered a pixie cup in the size large as I am almost 30 with 2 kids but it is causing so much discomfort and I cannot get used to it at all. I have tried for a couple of cycles.

I really want it to work so don’t know if the cup brand is the issue, the size or if I’m just incompatible with menstrual cups.

Any suggestions

Hi, I have been using cups for the past 4.5 years. They can be quite tricky to begin with. It has been trial and error trying to find the right one. What kind of discomfort are you getting? Cups are like tampons. You shouldn't be able to feel it if it's in properly. It could be that your cervix is low causing your cup to not go in all the way? If that's the case, you need to be looking at a shorter, bowl shaped cup. Check out a Youtube channel called "Precious Star Vlogs". The girl that runs it has tonnes of info on menstrual cups.
