Some cups allow a refund if it doesn’t work for you. For example, saalt has a 2 cycle guarantee.

Another thing that might help is looking up the anatomy down there. Even if you push it in, there’s really no where for it to go. The “furthest” it can go is to suction directly to a wall, which doesn’t make it harder to remove.

My advice is to put it in, and wait for 12 hours to remove it. You probably tried to remove it right away the first time, right? After 12 hours, it will have filled and be a little lower. Put on your favorite mindless tv show, and sit on a towel on a couch or bed propped up with pillows. Lean back with your knees up like you are squatting, but relax your legs. Just focus on the show while you try to get it out. If you start getting frustrated watch tv for 5 mins until you relax again. Your mantra is “there is nowhere for the cup to go. I will get it out”

Feel free to DM me for advice or support before trying the doctor again.

Understandable. It is scary the first time. Mine got stuck too, I used a spoon handle to break the suction.

If you can get past the fear, it is great!! It’s like not being on your period, and you only empty it 2x a day. That’s a whole day at work or school not worrying about it!

It’s a special design where pulling the loop collapses the side so it breaks the suction.

Look up the flex cup. It has a loop to pull that breaks the suction so you pull it out like a tampon.
