well, I broke my wrist trying to get that horrible thing out of me…. I used it for two days. At the beginning I was really impressed…. On the third day, it was stuck… I tried the relaxing and squating technique…. you name it! I couldnt grab the cup strong enough to release the suction. It was way too deep. I ended up spending a couple of hours in the shower, trembling and crying, imagining myself in a emergency room saying: I cant get my menstrual cup out!. It was just horrible. Eventually, my wrist broke because of the weird postion of my hand while trying to get that thing out for hours. I guess I was loosing all patience and just bended my wrist too much. When I got it out after 2-3 hours of real suffering, I inmediatly throwed that thing to the garbage bin. seeing it in the garbage was incredibly satisfying. Will never use one again. Thanks for your post! great to know this happens to a lot of people and those cups are not an “easy to use” period product.

In reply to Dee. It doesn't work for everybody. I've tried it all nothing worked. That's why I'm sharing my experience.

Hahaha!! I think you should have visited a gyanecologist so she could have broken your myths regarding your vagina! Or probably you should have read a biology textbook to know about you anatomy down there! A vagina is not an unending secret passage! Its just like a small cave with an ending! Your cervix can never be this high unless you are in an aroused state! The best way to deal with such situation is to calm down and relax your pelvic muscles and sit down in squatting position like you would if you were pooping in an indian style pot! This significantly brings down your cervix and that coupled with a cup of minimum length of 45mm would be very very easy to catch hold of!
P.s. A doctor and a menstrual cup user.

My God!! I got goosebumps while reading this. I have always been scared about using a menstrual cup.. I am quite comfortable with tampons despite of them being infamous. Atleast they come with a string which thankfully will never get lost.

thank you for sharing your experience..it took me a lot of courage to even attempt at tampons, this is never going near my vagina for sure 🙁 … i always used to get this exact question in my mind whenevr i used to read any review “What if it gets deep into cervix while sleeping because most of our muscles are relaxed that time and it is possible to happen???” Now i know it is very well possible… so bad that you had to face this horrifying experience…and god bless your best friend..

Definitely true! Trying a new fad is not a good idea always. I actually never thought of getting this or using it myself. I don’t like the idea of inserting something and keeping it for so long in there. Good you shared your experience. I appreciate your courage that you spoke about it.

I have always heard ppl talking good things about menstrual cups..Looks like it does have its own cons. You experience is an eye opener for anyone who wants to try it.

Nice post Mariyam, am so proud of you for posting this experience. I am already scared of using this and I don’t want to try it.
