This is my Aunt Flow's first go around with the menstrual cup.
Unlike a tampon it doesn't just slide out easy peasy. Last night when I went to empty the cup I learned two things: my fingers are incredibly short and if something is suctioned to your vagina you panic and wonder if it's possible to flip it inside out.
I struggled on my own for a good five minutes before grabbing my phone and looking for a youtube video about how to get the damn thing out.
I feel like I owe this lady my life. Or my vagina. Maybe I'll just send her a Diva Cup bouquet.
Thank you beautiful stranger!
She calls it doing the "poop flex" but basically what it is that you have to do is engage your kegels to push the cup out far enough to grab it and break the suction so you can pull it out. I tried it and though it was still an awkward struggle I managed and managed to do it again this morning.
I'm sure with some practice I'll get the hang of this, but so far I'm dreading revisiting this in 12 hours. But hey, 12 hours is a long time and plenty worth it.
