Im a 20 year old virgin who is using a mooncup uk size B which is the smaller one. my issue is that the stem is bugging me despite the fact that I've cut it almost all the way off. theres about 5mm left, that i need to grab the cup for removal. its a very stiff cup on the bottom and i have problems getting it out even with the stem. i really cant grab it if i turn it inside out.
i live in south africa so my cup options are fairly limited unless i want to pay a fortune in shipping costs. does anyone have recommendations for cup brands available in South Africa? alternatively, any recommendations for what to do about this stem issue? i need a cup thats softer on the base to remove OR one with a slightly shorter body (like even just a few mm shorter) so i have space in there for the stem to sit comfortably
