Using Menstrual Cups and Discs with a Tilted Cervix

[@Sue_suhn1]

I'm on month 3 since switching to a menstrual cup. The first 2 months were messy. I kept leaking and kept saying to myself, "I KNOW I have it over my cervix cause it's covered" but I kept leaking. THIS month, I tried something different and decided to move my menstrual cup more-so to the right side and see what happens. My gawd, it work!! I didn't leak at all for this month! Now I know why I kept leaking the previous 2 months. My cervix points more to the right than in the centre.

[@Dangeresque_2]

This is SO helpful. I'm 100% comfortable with all parts of my body and getting up in there to figure out what's going on. I have been so frustrated trying different cups and all of the demos and trouble shooting out there, I tried it all. About a 85% fail rate and they were never comfortable, some even put so much pressure on my bladder that I had ongoing issues with being able to start/stop peeing after taking them out for a few days. Every demo that just uses those plastic tubes or 2D models didn't help at all. THIS model actually helped me visualize what is going on down there.

[@christineh4398]

Hello, I love the educational content you're putting out there for people everywhere. Thank you for everything you do! I wanted to ask if you've heard that most women in the prison systems are usually not given enough menstrual products and have to wear them much longer than is recommended. I was wondering if you would ever consider raising awareness on that issue or maybe even working to provide reusable cups or discs for women that are in those situations? Having the proper products for our periods is something I know I took for granted until I learned that.

[@Penelope416]

You're a frigging genius. I would love to hear more about this. If anything, it would make sense for women in prison systems to use more reusable period products that non-resuable products. It would just seem like it's harder to keep up with.

[@G_Galore]

Such a good idea! Maybe period nirvana could collab with the state prisons as a trial & eventually federal facilities

[@manestage5403]

OMG! I’ve been using the same brand cup for nearly a decade, and just within the last two years I’ve been getting leaks. My doctor told me that my cervix is tilted backward. She’s been my gyn for twenty-one years, so I figured this must be new info since she only mentioned it recently. This all makes so much sense. You just saved me from going mad over this! I literally get anxiety over the thought of going back to tampons.

[@Arizona_lilly]

I was told same thing tips back

[@sweettee051988]

I'm 34 and I only learned mines is tilted to the right within this last month only because my hubby and I are trying to conceive. And I found that out myself smh. All the obgyns I've gone to over the years, failed to mention that detail!

[@josieunderdown3971]

Being someone who has a retro vetted uterus, I tried using menstrual cups before and I found it difficult as I had issues with leaking, so this explained everything very well and just made a lot more sense so Thankyou!! I’m definitely going to try menstrual cups again! 🥰

[@djdh6879]

Thank you SOOO much! I have a bunch of disks and cups I’ve purchased and don’t seem to get it right and its been a few years of frustration trying to get it right but I stopped for a few years and decided to try again. Because it’s more environmental friendly, it’ll save me money, and I need something that’ll protect me for for longer hours. This was super helpful!

[@Selah_Szari]

This makes so much sense. I have always had trouble Inserting tampons, for some reason only the bottom half would get soaked with blood. Turns out a tilted cervix is to blame. I am now a disc user, had some problems than found this video.

[@Turtle-Furr]

Love this! Thank you so much Kim. If I had a video like this 9yrs ago when I first started using menstrual cups it would have really helped me troubleshoot. So glad you are here doing your thing! You are amazing!

[@Cranialdrilling]

This was helpful. I've often had issues with tampons (mostly but sometimes cups). They'd seem virtually unused yet leak city. I'm starting to realize I have some tilting going on. This explains so much. It always made no sense to me and made me so mad. 🤦‍♀️

[@Desty207]

This was so helpful. I had been feeling a bit discouraged, but I’m going to continue trying. Thank you so much for your video!

[@Mel-qr5ob]

You can definitely insert a cup past the cervix and have a hard time retrieving it, if you have a low cervix . My learning curve with the cup was more about figuring out how to make sure the cup was enclosing my cervix, instead of being half the cup or more, past it.

[@QueenWaspGo]

I'm a new disc user and this video was super helpful because I'm having a period where I'm particularly swollen and my cervix is sitting lower and it has a tilt. I just got a reusable flex disc and just could not get it to fit right. I had a much easier time getting a disposable flex in.

[@Topaz_Soul]

Thank you so much for making this! I remember not so long ago i asked for this; while drinking my coffee and saw this in my suggestions i was like "Yes, she saw the comments!" You made my day lol I was told i was tilted when i got an ultrasound early in life and told i had a little tilt when i was expecting my daughter. Now over time trying out discs and cups I've learned my cervix goes to the back and when high its like ceiling light hovering up there and gotta find it lol. I took the disc quiz and over n over was told my fit was cora so im hoping to get one soon someday; i also was told the mermaid, or Lena L was a good fit since my old cups are now too small and slide down and leak so bad. I can't wait to try my new Lena this coming month, you've been a lifesaver and wouldn't have stuck with trying new products and find what's right for me without your education and videos! Thanks so very much again! (And yes I'm officially admitting, I'm apart of The Cup Cult.) I'm so curious on what things work for tilted girls like i am lol Report I've tried Cora, it's my Goldilocks disc! Im so happy, no leaking! Ty so much Disc Quiz ❤

[@darbystaton3192]

This is so helpful! I was trying to use a disc this last period and was having so many issues with it and turns out my cervix is tilted to one side. I’m going to keep trying it out and see if I can figure out a way to make it work. Been a full time cup user for over a year now and it’s been great!

[@alyssaarnold3809]

I just switched to a disc, and this video was so helpful! I'm hoping that if I keep practicing pushing the disc down I won't get anymore leaks. Thank you so much for the visual!

[@bobandyashi4857]

I just hate the fact that i have to dig the disc and the cup out.

[@ManifestingMoni]

Yes! It gets jammed on me behind my pelvic bone so I have to dig in there for it.

[@taylorrromero]

Thank you for this detailed video. I’ve known for a very long time that I have a tilted cervix, and I’ve tried using menstrual cups many times, but I experience leakage 90% of the time. I couldn’t understand why exactly until watching your video. I will attempt to keep the cup a little lower instead of higher. Thank you so much

[@meagananne5820]

Thank you so much for this! I have never been able to use tampons or cups and didn’t realize I even could go “past” the cervix. That makes so much sense - it seemed like they weren’t catching anything at all despite leaks!

[@JLF201]

You should totally mount that model on a vertical stand or wall so you can have both hands free to manipulate parts.

[@blissbombz9965]

For those who have trouble getting their cup to open... I found out through personal trial and error that my cup was being smushed in by my cervix before it could open. A quick and easy remedy to my frustration to get the cup to pop open was to simply allow it to open up lower in my vaginal canal instead of pushing it up to high. And for reference, I have a high cervix and retroverted uterus.

[@TaMarAaQ]

Yess that's my method too! It works really well

[@JessehNotBovverd]

Agreed! I couldn’t figure out why mine was leaking and having trouble opening it fully, then realised I was inserting it too straight up and so hitting my cervix and so was only covering half and stopping the cup from opening properly. Realised I have to go further diagonal to fully cover the opening.

[@rebecca_rose_turner]

Pushing the disc toward my tail bone and scooping worked! Thank you for making this for us tilted disc and cup users 🎉

[@heatherhorsecat]

This is so helpful! Thank you! Having a tilted cervix, most the time a cup works fine but I have placed my cup incorrectly and didn't know this was why, this will help me troubleshoot so much better.

[@aphyngodiva2551]

Thank you so much! I'm doing research on menstrual cups and found a review mentioning someone who had a tilted cervix and her CUP was leaking as a result, I thought they shouldn't even be near the cervix but now I understand after watching your video how that can happen (inserting too far past the cervix or the position of the cervix), it made me nervous about even using a cup as I also have a tilted cervix, but have never had problems with tampons, and I don't know how far my tilt is or in what position. I think I will still give a cup a try, and if I leak I'll know to just fiddle around with the position. I also want to try a disc later and this has helped me a lot with which ones I may try!

[@carlyrowland1640]

Wow, this video is so perfectly timed and so super helpful. I'm pretty sure I ha e a tilted cervix and have issues with cups and tampons. I might try the disc so thank you for being so indepth 🥰

[@kee-tu4cq]

I have retroverted uterus and love Flex disc. I do the scoop movement you showed @ 7:48 and it fits perfect. I went through so many painful tampons and cups before finding discs.

[@kelseyrahn1055]

I just found out i had a tilt, i tried disposable discs and they didn’t work- this explains so much!

[@GirlGamer867]

I just bought some disposable discs and I have a tilted uterus. tried twice and couldn't get it in all the way! was literally sticking out of me a little. I hate my body so much right now due to frustration and be SICK OF PADS! tampons don't work for me either. I'm not going to bother with a cup.

[@cassandragforrester]

Hey! Thanks so much you know I have never once seen a model like that showing rhe different positions! Was soooo helpful, was only told a few years ago that mone was tilted and finally understood why papa have been so awfully uncomfortable with the searching 😅. Anyways looking forward to taking you quiz to see which products will work for me. Tampons have been super uncomfortable for years, pads are what i use but im so self conscious of wearing in public for smells and or leakage. Its a hard go being women who mensterate so happy we have more information now for the younger generations. Wish i knew these things 25 years ago!!

[@angelabaker3400]

Hello! I had to come and find you here to leave a comment!! THANK YOU! I have a slightly tilted cervix and have been trying to use the disk (I started with a cup 5 years ago) but now seeing the model and the process helps me so much! I have had so much better success these past two/three days than the last 5 years 😂 I knew I was not doing something and I couldn’t figure it out but kept trying since I knew so many have amazing success and I wanted that lol 😂 Thank you again for taking the time and sharing this in a great educational way of reality and the female point of view. For me the slightly tilted back cervix the “scooping” you explained has helped me so much and why it would leak if the rim is not between the wall and cervix. Makes so much sense but needed that visual Thank you again!

[@kerensa7349]

The cup hurt for some reason, the disc was so much better😅

[@AshMaTashNYC]

This visual has helped me understand why I can’t get the Nuvaring to go up and stay 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@sweetestmum]

I had a nurse practitioner find it difficult to reach my cervix BUT I’m still a cup user and gonna try discs and see how that goes.

[@DivaAfro]

I had to stop 30 sec in to comment on the title! Found out at my recent smear this year that I had a tilted cervix. I also remember thinking this may be why I always seem to leak out of my cups! Now to the rest of the video... (Thank you for your service 😁)

[@0neyetmany-0]

this is so interesting! i would have never known these things about my body if i hadn't bought myself a cup! i check and just discovered i had a high cervix tilted to the left and that cervix gets lower when you're on your period. i haven't mastered not leaking and it'll take some time and it's only my 2nd time using cups but i seriously dont wanna switch back to pads anymore. i love that we learn so much about our body by using cups

[@DGLEE06]

Im trying out a cup for the 1st time and really glad i found this video, now im just hoping I actually placed it correctly inside since i dont even know if im directing it correctly

[@diamond1479]

THIS IS THE VIDEO IVE BEEN NEEDING ❤️

[@katrinaaa__]

This is so helpful, thank you!! It “feels” like my cervix is more to the left, and I think this will help me get my disc in the right way!

[@makaylagoslant5357]

For me, in order to put my disc in I have to guide it with my opposite hand/finger in order to get it under my cervix. So if you’re having a hard time with it, try putting your disc in while touching your cervix with your opposite pointer finger and pushing it in at the same time! It has never failed me :)

[@asterisque9252]

I can't really insert two fingers, much less with the disc... it's painful since I've never inserted anything, i mean, i didn't even know about hymen. Would that really be fine?

[@vagrantastronaut]

@@asterisque9252 Mindset is everything. You can do mindfulness exercises to calm yourself down, or even look up childbirth tips to help relax your private area before doing anything you're unsure about.

Omg, you just solved my problem I didn't know I had

[@nicolelavigne1700]

Interesting. I was told ages ago I have a tilted uterus, but fortunately it has not caused any issues with menstrual cups. Recently I’ve gotten curious about trying a disc, mainly because sometimes the pressure of the cup can be uncomfortable and lately it’s been harder to get my cup out because of it sitting higher when I originally trimmed the stem to keep it from poking out.

[@andreaszabo3911]

Hello, I have a tilted cervix and without thinking I decided to try a menstrual cup. Didn’t even know how to chose the size. I was lucky and it worked for me. I just would like to have a higher capacity one for my heavy day, but in general this cup I have works well. ☺️

[@mrsks5399]

I see a lot of comments about going past the cervix so I assumed I was having a similar issue ... I have been using a cup for about 4 months and the past 2 months I have been having leaks and it's very strange because the cup is suctioned but the blood goes around it. Ok so ... TMI ( but that's what we are here for anyway) after watching this video I slid my finger around the cup and realized I could touch my cervix BEHIND the cup so it was actually suctioning on my front wall where the urethra is and then the blood was going behind it ughhhhh Thank you so much I was getting so frustrated. BTW I have tried keeping the cup lower but that doesn't really solve my issue. I guess I will try pressing it down to get it to suction on the right place

[@jclyntoledo]

I use the lumma disc and I like it. Pretty sure my cervix is pretty low and titled, I just wear a cloth pad in case of spillage/leaks. Usually I can feel when it's full and can go to the restroom and have it self empty. Only issue is the disc is 100% collapsed but the cervix sits in the disc. Still prefer this over the cup as it gives me less cramps and the cup stem always jabs me on the side 😰.

[@jclyntoledo]

Update, I went back to the cup since it was just much easier as I couldn't control the auto dumping and was tired of it happening before I could reach the toilet. The cup just has less leaks for me 😊.

[@SilverMoon459]

I've been waiting for this video, thank you

[@TaMarAaQ]

Years ago I tried a cup for the first time (Organicup). Whithin a few hours I couldn't walk anymore because of severe pain, I seriously thought I had to go to the hospital if it wouldn't go away because it was so severe! It took me half a day to figure out that it was because of the cup. When I took it out, the pain vanished in minutes! A lot of research later I bought a shorter cup (Me Luna Short) and I've never had any issue ever since. I think it's sad that there are so little options for shorter cups, and that there's little knowledge out there. It makes me sad thinking that other women might have quit using a cup alltogether because of these kinds of experiences.

[@apyles2]

Tysm for sharing! You've saved me a lot of pmdd-meltdowns by explaining how the disk fits differently from the cup with retroflexion. I used cups up until I went on oral bc 7 years ago, my cycle stopped entirely so I had no need for cups. I got a copper iud earlier this year and was initially instructed that a disk would be better than a cup with the iud. The top lip of the disk would sort of pop out whenever I emptied my bladder (worse when ibs-c joined the fun) so i gave up and have been using only pads for the past 4 cycles. I'm incredibly relieved to know that the cup will likely work just as effectively as it used to! *adds cup to cart*

[@LifeRNhungrynursetravels]

Thank you so much! My goodness. I just tried the flex disposable, got scared bc it went pretty far in, and I pulled it back out.

[@tiffanysabrinag]

This was so helpful thank you girl ❤

[@simmerelise]

I have a tilted cervix. I have been using a cup for years and swear by it. But I was considering switching to a disc because my cycle is very heavy (have to empty every 1-2 hours on the middle 3 days of my cycle). I heard that discs hold more and heard about the auto dump feature from a friend. But I know my cervix points back to the wall and is very high practically touching the wall so thanks to this information and your quiz I'm going to try the Marula XL cup instead.

[@salger0309]

I'm new to reusable menstrual products. I have tried a disc, and with a tilted cervix (last pregnancy identified this). I find disc's more comfortable than cups. I hope I can find one that works for me. I have not found myself fond of cups, but I will keep trying.

[@HisFeleena]

Thank you so much for this! I have been struggling with getting my Nixit to collect and figured it was because of how high my cervix is and the extreme tilt. I am very anxiously awaiting the release of the Hello Disc and hope that will help with my struggles. For now I will try the Luma and see if the change in firmness will help. I truly enjoy all of your videos and greatly appreciate all the information you share. 💛

[@katherynnesierra7508]

Hello , The change with firmeness did help you? i am thinking change my ziggy disc for another more firm

[@adrianav.-a.9157]

I took the Period Quiz from the Period Nirvana website and was recommended the Hello Disc and purchased. At first I couldn’t get it to stop leaking and remembered that I do in fact have a tilted retro uterus, so having watch this video, I was able to stop the leakage, but now my lower back aches so much. It feels like I’m have an intense cramp and is consistent. I’m trying to play around with the placement of the disc, but it’s either leak or back pain. Any tips or advice would be helpful.

[@marangen6935]

Hi. This helped me. My cervix is tilted to the right. I have tried with lumma L. If I angle the disc to the right and inserting it with both hands it works!!

I tried a menstrual disc with a high cervix and unfortunately I learned that my cervix is tilted back due to severity of the pain. I used 3 different disc flex disposable, pixie disc, and lumma disc and they were super painful to use. I'm going to try the venus cup and hopefully it'll work 🤞🏾

Did you find a disc to work? I have a high cervix and tilted

[@mariahwilliams5270]

@@s.b5431 No I didn't unfortunately but I tried a Venus Cup for two menstrual cycles and it works great. I've tried other cups such as Saalt Cup and Diva Cup but none worked for high cervix because it was hard to reach. The Venus Cup is high capacity and long enough to reach.

[@katherynnesierra7508]

Hi, I'm thinking of buying the venus cup, I have leaks with my Tieutcup cup and I feel that it is so firm that it doing pressure on my bladder, Do you feel bladder pressure with the venus cup?

[@mariahwilliams5270]

@@katherynnesierra7508 Honestly when I first tried the Venus Cup I did feel pressure on my bladder. I learned that the cup was too high in my vaginal canal and I needed to put it lower, once I learned where I needed to place my cup I didn't have any issues. The Venus Cup is softer than the Tieut Cup so that may help with the bladder pressure. Just know that everybody's anatomy is different I'm just speaking from my own experience.

I have a backwards tilted cervix, and using a disk I notice that it'll be fine up until I laugh or there is a push of any kind, and then I'll feel a giant gush. I usually wear a cup and even then notice in the night sometimes somehow the seal breaks and I leak

That was very helpful thank you!!

[@tracyb9693]

Thank you this is a great video. I'm having problems with my cup. I have felt my cervix, it's right there and it's tilted but I never knew how to work with that. I also have severe pelvic adhesion disease and tampons do bother me. I have to buy very short tampons because it feels like I'm hitting something. Some periods feels like my cervix drops and is falling out. This very well may not be an option for me. I've tried for 4 periods now. I'm going to talk to my gyn. Thank you for the great info!!

[@Sandcastleprincess]

I learned I have a very tilted cervix when I tried (unsuccessfully) to have an aultrasound guided IUD insertion. Doctor said I was one in a thousand. It didn't occur to me this is why I can't be comfortable with a cup or tampon.

[@vickiwestlake6274]

Of course I have to have the weirdo verbis where I can't get a cup to fit in completely. When I was pregnant I remember my doctor telling me how I carried the baby more into my back and was alot differently than most women bc of my cervix. He said it was pretty rare how my cervix was I guess. Now I wanna get an x-ray of myself to see now and to show you for some input!! So yeah my first try at this sucked.. I cried...

[@AbdulMajeed-gj5ep]

For a retroflex medium to low cervix which disk is better larger disc or smaller.(I can touch my cervix at lower but the opening is average) smaller or larger

[@cassandragforrester]

Question: you may have answered this in another video but when you have a iud and have low tilted cervix can you use a cup.. or would you be at risk of accidentally pulling out the iud when removing the cup?

[@Catastrophe555]

I'd love some advice. I've been told I have a definite tilt. So much so 1 doctor had to go rectally to actually gage the size of my uterus in early pregancy to find out if I was growing properly for how far along I was. I have used cups, sometimes their ok, but I really have a hard time getting them to open up, in fact in trying I've pulled it too far out and the pressure to push it further in after opening is painful. I have been trying a self emptying Cora disc. And it catches some but I leak consistantly, and it feels like the disc has not unfolded completely once I tuck it behind my public bone. The catching part still feels mushed and wrinkled. I really think I'll have to go back to cups because I can't feel past my Cervix to the dip where it meets the back wall at all. I actually have trouble inserting my fingers far enough to feel back there. I will likely go back to cups, but how can I convince it to open? I've gotten so frustrated with it I go back to pads 3 days in. (Tampons completely stop my flow until my next cycle for some reason, so I don't try to use them anymore). Any advice?

[@alisongarcia3476]

I have an inverted uterus and have ALWAYS leaked through tampons. Even now that I’ve had 3 children, tubal ligation and now have heavier periods I leak through ultra tampons. I recently tried a cup and took me a while to get the right angle, a lot of trial and error and still leaked. I’m considering trying a disk because the cup hits my cervix and I feel it. Maybe the disk has a little more coverage inside 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@RainbowRiver]

I just got a Hello disc and I've been having some problems. The first time I was able to get it in I had to take it out again after about 15 minutes because of the pain it was causing by my lower back and the slightly nauseas feeling I was getting the longer it was in. I had a feel around once I took it out to try and get a better idea of the layout of things and I think my cervix might be tilting backwards. Would the disc putting pressure on the cervix cause that type of pain? Also, if I can get my finger inside the disc while it's in place should i be able to feel my cervix "sitting" inside it? (My cervix is high and my pubic bone is quite low if that matters)

[@melissahredmond]

I don't know if this is a common issue for women. I have recently tried the discs and am having a bit of an issue. I can't tell if it is tucked behind my pubic bone and since i have really short fingers it is hard to get the disc further in. How can i tell when i have teached the correct area? Will there be a certain feel to look for? Also I tried the soft disc brand with relative sucess due to this some minor leakining the first time and my husband says he can feel it when we are intimate. However, i had a major allergic reaction to the flex disc brand that caused sever pain, sickness and discomfort

[@kirstindriscoll8195]

Thank you so much for this video! I know I have a tilted uterus, and I have struggled so much with cups and discs. During my period my cervix seems to be non-existent, so I think it must be tucked all the way up and in the back. Discs don't work at all for me! I have mixed results with the cups. I'm going to try putting them more to one side and see if that helps!

[@RavenMoonChild00]

I have a tilted cervix but I do not have a tilted uterus. I use discs and cups. I prefer discs now

[@thekrystlebrown]

So I’ve tried to use a disc before and I’d really like to be successful but I definitely have an anterior uterus so I just assumed that’s why it didn’t work. Is there anyway to really tell if that’s what it is my cervix is just too tilted and close to the wall? It felt like the disc would only sit vertical in my canal. I couldn’t get it to go horizontal and seal at all.

My problem is that with my saalt cup I struggle getting a grip on it as my fingers aren’t the longest and and now my cycles are a smidge heavier so it’s messy I really never mastered my pelvic floor muscles as I had two c sections and I’d love to go back to using my cups I started a few weeks before I wound up finding out I was expecting my second and haven’t went back to it except a few times

[@saharovki]

What about anterior tilt of the uterus. My cups always leak , would disc be better. Never had a problem with tampons unless they are full

[@EricaVelez-o3e]

How do I know where my cervix is? Can’t figure out my errror and getting major leaks so thinking TC. TIA

[@takiabrown80]

I wish I could use these things. I can’t even use tampons. Everything hurts when it goes in because my vagina has prolapsed so I don’t know which way to put anything.

[@annegutsch3299]

Is it just me or does it here to insert the cup? Can anybody help me with tips for inserting the disk I don’t use the cup.

[@its_dianafeng]

Hi thank you so much for this video it’s super helpful!. I just started using my menstrual cup and the gripping part seemed to always be slanted on the right side, and it’s really hard to grip, does that mean I have a tilted cervix?

[@PeriodNirvana]

If your cup consistently slants at that angle it's possible. A cup with a longer stem might help prevent it from slanting as far but it's always hard to say.

[@amrithadeepu8727]

Oh no...its the same for me...my cup almost always slants to the right no matter how many times i try to correct it.....maybe i have a tilted cervix...whats does this mean for me period nirvana??

[@jclyntoledo]

Same! And it's low so I have to make sure the cervix is sitting in the cup or when I use cups. I use a disc now.

[@Walking_Spinel]

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the BFree cup

[@PeriodNirvana]

It didn’t work well for me. Lack of suction holes made it super hard to remove and the texture is slick. I really struggled with it :/

[@MoonLady-d5w]

I've had multiple kids & used a cup before but could never get the disc right. This was helpful.

[@cristinaaguilar676]

Well it seems I have a tilted uterus cause I just switched for menstrual cup and i was getting frustrating because I am having massive leaks…I knew it was because the cup doesn’t open properly! I don’t feel that “pop” that someone told I have to feel but I didn’t know the reason!…murder scene in my bathroom every time 😭

[@hindghazzawi613]

If you have been pregnant and received ultrasounds, would they tell you if you have a tilted uterus?

[@judybobsin7381]

If i recall correctly i think my cervix tilts forward. I was going to have it fixed but OBGYN says men think sex feels better with the bending. So i left it. Now, i cannot use tampons because they push out and feel like they are pulling my guts out during removal. Also at times cause headaches. Im trying the softdisc right now. Didnt know they existed. I watched your other video but couldnt seem to fit that last bit behind my pelvic bone. Not sure if my cervix is high or.low but i tried my first disc. I guess time will tell if it leaks on me or not. I hope it works because tampons suck with my female anatomy. Id love to order reusable silicone discs if these work with my girly bits.

[@Arizona_lilly]

I see sometimes it works fine sometimes it doesn’t for me and I’m putting it in right and have been experimenting with them for at least 10 years the disc ones instead disc then the cups inhave a couple kinds too

[@Arizona_lilly]

U can feel it too and u will have a discomfort my tips and cups as long as their a section and u don’t feel any leaking within some mins then ur ok because it will leak very quickly if in wrong
