I have one too, I can use my mooncup with no problems, I had to trim the whole stem off though, I would say give it a go. So much better than tampons, took a bit of practise but cannot feel it.

And “walk” it out, one side at a time. Don’t try yanking it straight out.

Yes, I think you should be able to. I have a slight prolapse since my third birth and can’t use tampons as they are too uncomfortable (I never used them very often anyway as I always seemed to have issues with them not being positioned right or hurting on removal). I didn’t think I’d be able to manage one of these (mine is a Mooncup, a different brand, but same principle) because of squeamishness – no way could I use a non-applicator tampon – but I used it for the first time yesterday and apart from getting the position wrong at first (until I found advice online which says aim almost horizontally, as if you’re aiming for your bum, rather than at an angle like a tampon) it’s been great.

Used it overnight and I can’t believe the difference – no waking up at 3.00 gingerly checking your underwear to see if you’ve leaked, then working out how to get out of bed without actually sitting on it and staining the sheets, and no need for that 4.00 a.m. shower because you bled heavily overnight. I’m peri menopause and my periods were so heavy I was housebound two days per cycle. Already after one cycle this thing has changed my life. Sounds dramatic, but if you’ve been like I’ve been, you’ll know it’s true. Today is a “not-going-out” day but I’m taking my daughter for shopping and lunch instead.

Just take a bottle of water in with you and rinse it, or use toilet paper to clean it after tipping the contents into the bowl. You can also use wet wipes (I prefer this one!).

I’m really curious what people do when they know they’ll be out from 7am until 10pm or similar. I can’t imagine washing a bloody (literally) cup out in a public sink. What do you do??
