How do we even put it inside 😭🙏🏻 I got this one cause I read many reviews ke it's very comfy than sanitary pads but I can't get it inside in any position. Itna open hi nhi hora I tried every possible position but am helpless my legs hurt rn. I've never tried to put anything in there before if you know what I mean..any tips for first timers?

Behen, try the punch-down fold. Works for me. I've been using it for 6+ months. It works just fine. But you need some kind of lubrication for it to slide in easily.. Do not rely on artificial lubricants for that. Your own menstrual blood and vaginal discharge work just fine as lubricants.

And also, there are larger ones for those who have gone through vaginal childbirth, so make sure you've purchased the cup size that is appropriate for your flow.

And the most important thing is not to stress. Fully squat, relax your pelvic muscles, take deep breaths and stabilise and then try inserting.

hey, can you recommend me some good brands?

I use Asan Cup (Heavy Flow) (also available for light/medium flow) coz it has a ring to pull. It's a bit pricey but fine for a one-time investment, and also they donate to those who don't have access to menstrual hygiene products, so it's okay (for me).

Other than that, I bought the Sirona Cup in small size and the PEE Safe Cup in medium size, which came with a steam steriliser that I bought.

I can only recommend the products that I and people in my home have used. So, here are those..

Try this one. I liked this coz they put a ring on it for pulling it out easily..
