How to use a menstrual cup by feddle

"Menstrual cups are better for the environment and your body, and they are more comfortable than tampons and pads too."

How I did it: I decided to do this after listening to my friend talk about her decision to use cloth diapers for her baby. It made me realize my monthly waste. I ended up getting the Diva Cup because it was the brand available at my local health food store. You have to get comfortable with your body, but it is easy and comfortable after a little practice.

Lessons & tips: Most importantly, relax!

It is very different feeling than using a tampon, and I almost got panicky at first, so I had to remember to breathe and get comfortable for positioning and removal.

There is a feeling of suction when cup is removed. It does feel a little strange at first.

It takes a level of comfort with your body.

I applaud you

for doing this but I’m not sure I’m THAT comfortable with my body.
