Finally I get to use my Mooncup. So far, so good.
Considering I've never used a tampon or any other thing that has to be stuck up my "ehem" before, I found it quite easy to insert. I found that the punch down fold (this is when you push one finger down on a side of the cup to form a sort of spouted end) works better for me than the C-fold (fold it in twice to form a C shape). It took me only a few minutes. At first, I didn't get the opening quite right and kept missing, but after I identified the correct position of the opening, it went in nicely on the first try. I was afraid that it wouldn't pop open, but as soon as it got in, it popped open perfectly. The silicone is soft enough to be gentle and easily inserted, but firm enough to hold its shape. One time I accidentally let go of the base of the cup, causing it to pop open from the fold and bounce away to the bathroom door. Then, when it was in, I pushed it up just enough so the stem (which I already trimmed when I first got it) wouldn't poke at the skin. Although I think it didn't properly form a seal, because I was walking around just to get the feel of it and suddenly felt a ploop inside and felt it go slightly up..I suspect the moving around caused it to move and seal itself (which is kinda cool). I walked around the house and when I was satisified, I lay down. I rolled around and moved here and there, and moved as I pleased. I didn't feel a thing! I would never have felt such freedom with a pad. With a pad I had to be so careful and everytime I got up I would check if I had stained anything.
On to removal. Removal was a bit more difficult. I removed it just before I went to bad so it wouldn't be full when I wake up. It took a few tries to get it out. I pushed down with my inner muscles until it went down low enough, but I couldn't get a grip on it and I couldn't seem to push it any further, so I pulled firmly but slowly at the stem which was already out until I could get a grip on the base of the cup (this required some poking into the "ehem" because the cup just wouldn't reveal itself), and squeezed it to remove the seal. Then with a "ploop" I wiggled it out slowly so the contents wouldn't spill. Must I elaborate on the contents ? I think not. Heheheh. Then I flushed the contents into the toilet, washed the cup with intimate wash, and reinserted it.
All in all, it was a very fascinating experience, and very liberating. I would definitely recommend menstrual cups to women of the world. Better for our convenience, for our pocket, and for our world. But make sure it lasts!
