First things first, don't panic - I have you covered! "So it went in ok, but now I can't get it out!" Sound familiar?
WHAT CAUSES A MENSTRUAL CUP TO BECOME STUCK?
• It's sitting too high.
• The suction seal is super strong.
• You're pulling the stem instead of pinching the cup.
1 Relax and take a deep breath - First and foremost, your menstrual cup can't get lost inside your vagina because the cervix acts as a barrier, there is a way you'll get it out. So, don't panic!
What to do now?? LOCATE YOUR CUP - We know - it's in your vagina - but where exactly? With a clean finger index finger usually works best), reach in and locate its whereabouts.
CAN'T FIND IT? TRY A DIFFERENT POSITION. Like sitting on the toilet, or propping one leg up on the toilet whilst standing. Changing angles can help change the position of your cup, making it easy to reach.
REACH IN AND BREAK THE SUCTION SEAL;
- Pinch the base of the cup
- If you can't quite get a hold of the cup, grab the stem and wiggle the cup back and forth a bit (don't pull) until you're able to grab the base.
The last resort, Well, if you have genuinely tried everything and still can't get a hold of that little thing, it's time to call for help.
