Lube is the answer! (For some.)

Hi folks. I've been working on the "opening" up thing inside for a couple of cycles now. I thought that I had to soft a rim, and then too firm a rim, and then yada yada.. I tried to think of any possible problem I could. Today I finally brought out the lube (Astroglide naturals plays nice-nice with my girl parts) and slicked up, barely, just the rim of two different cups and they went in slick as a goose!

So I suggest (along with the others who have already done so) that folks with "opening up" problems might want to include this in the arsenal of "things to try".  :-)
