Why Am I Finding the Cup Uncomfortable?

When inserted correctly, you shouldn't feel any discomfort with the cup. It may take some time for your body to adjust to the cup and its light suction seal. However, if you're experiencing persistent discomfort, it usually comes down to one of these reasons:

• Maybe your body is still getting used to the cup.
• Maybe the positioning/placement of the cup isn't optimal for you. Your cervix can change position throughout your cycle. You may need to adjust it higher or lower at a slight angle.
• Maybe you accidentally scratched yourself or irritated the inside of the vagina when inserting/removing the cup.
• Maybe the stem is poking through the outside of your vagina. In this case, we recommend shortening the stem. 
• Maybe you have inserted the cup too high. If the cup has been placed beside your cervix instead of underneath, it will cause immediate discomfort. If this happens, remove the cup and reinsert it, making sure it is placed beneath the cervix instead.
• Maybe the cup size is not right for you. If the cup doesn't unfold, you will likely feel it, which may be uncomfortable and could even cause cramps (outside of the normal period pain).
