Hi! I'm new, my name is Carley.

I don't know if it's possible to be too graphic in a menstrual cup community, but in case this is I apologize.

I just got a Diva Cup, and my period came two days ago. I wrestled with the cup for a while, but when I finally got it in and open (usually it was in and closed- ugh!) it disappeared. I stuck my finger up, trying to find it. When I could finally feel it, it seemed really far up and to the left. So I sat and I had to push my muscles really hard to get it to move down enough to grab it.

I don't know if this makes sense or if it's normal. It just freaked me out because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get it out when I needed to. It seemed like it just kept moving further up.

I'd like any advice or reassurance because I'm so sick of tampons. Thanks!
