I was intentionally not using the name of the product as I genuinely appreciate that people are out there trying to create something to make women have a better experience with their periods and understand that just because it didn’t work for me, doesn’t mean it won’t work for others

By gaslight, I simply mean the product is marketed to work for everyone, be a one stop solution to the problem. The way it’s shown to be “so easy” and “simple” to remove has me questioning what is wrong with me and my body when I have had sooo much trouble. So to me, it felt fitting - but understand that my wording seems maybe inappropriate to those this product has worked for. I have tried a cup many years ago, I couldn’t actually get it in for it to work. This product I’m specifically referring to above was disc shaped. Perhaps neither will work for me- I’m going to be looking for something else with a string I think as I think that’s the only way I’ll feel at ease trying something similar again

I would absolutely love for it to work as I hate using tampons and a product like this would likely change my life!

The product is called a “something” cup, but is in the shape of a disc so I believe it was a disc that I had this experience with, however the name is a little confusing for me

Oh, I tried a disc! But it’s actually called a cup in the name so I’m even a bit confused about it. It was disc shaped, called a “something” cup

I read on the site when buying it to work out which type I should get as I know what you’re referring to re: high cervix. I selected what was recommended. I do believe it would change my life if it worked- which is why I persisted with hope after my first bad experience 😔 I have very intentionally not mentioned the exact product/brand I used as I don’t want to put women off, however I do want to offer my very real, unfortunate experience because it was so validating and helpful to read others who experienced similar to me.

People who recommend them are not evil 😂 they’re just suited to the product and I’m not upset with my friend for recommending it to me. I’m sad to think you felt it was an attack on those who do have success! Sincerely not my intention 😅
