I am traveling and forgot my iron supplements and now my period related anemia symptoms are kicking my fucking ass man

also I'm trying the diva cup for the first time and having a hard time getting used to it? I know some people like different brands of menstrual cups, but how are you supposed to know which are best for you and your body without spending a fuck ton buying them? it sucks man

check youtube! i think there are tutorials there! btw: I will NEVER use these. They freak me out. :(

I've become okay with them in theory but I get why other people don't like them (they made me uncomfortable for a long while)

and I've looked at some comparisons but everything pretty much is like "use whatever works for you everyone's body/cervix is different" and its like :/ I have never once in my life been aware of my cervix so how am I supposed to know which one of these is the right length or stiffness or whatever for me without dropping 30 dollars. (not to mention a lot of the reviews can't agree on which ones are softer...)

yeah it does suck since you can't just try a bunch and return them if you don't like them. i guess i was lucky in that the mooncup worked for me, so idk what the other ones are like. what in particular don't you like about the diva cup?

Re: Venting Thread

it feels... really stiff I guess? It hurts coming out and it has been pushing on my bladder/urethra when I put it in which is really annoying. I also had to use (water based) lube to get it in without it dragging but when I used that it goes in okay (minus the bladder thing).

Some reviews are saying its one of the softer cups on the market and others are saying it isn't, so idk what to believe? Maybe I will get used to how stiff it feels, but right now its pretty annoying

I know it will be more cost effective than pads and tampons in the long run but its still a lot of money for me to drop shopping around, so idk :/ I might just deal with it

hmm yeah it looks of similar material to my mooncup, which isn't the most flexible. i've heard the instead/softcups are the softest, but you can't (shouldn't?) reuse them.

maybe try pushing it up further or at a slightly different angle? sometimes i can feel mine poking if it's inserted a little differently, and shifting/rotating it will help. and did you cut the stem off? initially i was worried that it'd be harder to remove if i cut off the entire stem, but it turned out to be a lot more comfortable once i did (after i was used to removing it).

good luck, anon!!

sa

oh yeah removing mine will sometimes hurt a little if i've been emptying it frequently that day. not sure how you're removing it, but i do the toilet straddle (pants off) so that i can fold it up a bit to pull it out. it's not the most dignified position, but i don't have to worry about spilling. (orgasms do help too)

Oh man, anon, I feel your pain. I remember it took me AGES to adjust to my mooncup--it was a huge boon to me, but man, was it a pain in the ass at first! (In my case, I was HIGHLY motivated to figure it out relatively fast, because I would be spending solid months in fucking boonies with no access to any stores at all, and I didn't want to carry a gallon of cunt cotton.)

As far as trying different brands... I do know there are disposable cups on the market, though sadly I don't know the names of the brands off hand. If you have access to a crunchy granola shop, you can probably find some, and experiment at least with less expensive ones.

I recall these old posts having useful stuff. I recall it took a good few months before I was able to manage mine without it looking like a slasher film, but now, at least, I can handle it no problem. It does take a lot of practice, sadly. :(
