Softcups (TMI)

[OhTheJoy]

Hi, has anyone tried softcups? im on my monthly and thought since i got a couple of free samples id like to try them as sanitary towels do my head in.

Now i put it in all is fine an hour later its coming back out. So i readjust it half an hour later i start to feel it again and its popping back out.

At this point ive given up luckily im at home to try it didnt fancy risking it if i was out.

It feels as if its just too big to stay in, is this even possible? am i fitting it wrong? im doing what it says on the instructions.

I was planning on adding this to my TTC after sex but thats gone out of the window lol

Do mooncup do a smaller size or maybe try the reusable ones?

I've never used them for menses, but I use them for TTC. I only had a problem with them coming back out when I didn't get it up far enough and level behind my pubic bone. I have wayyy more success at getting them in evenly when I lay down and do it. (TMI) I'm too tight when I sit or stand to do it, and can't quite get it to sit straight.

I don't think I'd ever use them for menses, they're so messy when you pull them out! But I like them for TTC (even though they're still messy), because I don't have to worry about leaking the "stuff" in bed, or if we dtd during the day.

They're for catching menstrual flow instead of tampons or pads. A lot of people also use them for TTC, putting them in after having sex to hold the little swimmers up by the cervix.
