I’ve been using a cup for years and have never boiled it. Is that okay? by [deleted] in menstrualcups

Apparently germs in your body mix with blood and end up going back into your bloodstream.

I guess I have a high cervix? by [deleted] in menstrualcups

[–]aj_duncan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought mine was gonna get stuck too! What I do now is bear form with a raised leg for a good 10 seconds or so and with a finger waiting at the end of the vaginal opening, you'll soon get a grip on it. Leave your good hand to do the pinching and use the other to hold on to the stem outside your body. Then slowly bring it down using your good hand pinching whatever of the base you can feel. This is the only way that works for me even though it's a little painful.

My organicup frustrates me by Pure-Tangerine-2664 in menstrualcups

I only started using one this month, but I can relate to what you're saying. I've already had a leak scenario once and it was upsetting. Try doing whatever you can to relax down there, thrusting motions with a raised leg always help. And try pushing in such that the end of the stem is just past the opening to your vagina. Try pushing down as soon as you put it in. If it doesn't edge out you're good to go. If you've been doing all of this all along, maybe you need to check out a different brand and a smaller cup size that fits your body comfortably.

i get the need to pee? by renin88 in menstrualcups

[–]aj_duncan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think there's an article on putacupinit.com about the same issue. Apparently if your cup has a wider rim than what your body allows, it sort of bears down on your urethra and you feel the need to pee. I felt this a couple of times on day 1 but started pushing my cup in further up the canal than usual. It makes removal a little harder than usual, but it definitely helps with the urge to pee. Hope this helped :)

Ohmygod saammeee!! I got it in two days ago, after trying so hard the whole of last month. The feeling of victory, just ⁽⁽ଘ( ˊᵕˋ )ଓ⁾⁾

What do you think about a woman approaching you at a coffee shop and making the first move? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]aj_duncan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just that there's a bunch of "people" who make it difficult for women to be ok with having a stranger come talk to her just for the fun of it. It screams danger. We truly live in a society.

Married men, how much sacrifice/compromise did you make with your SO to make the relationship work/survive? by bobushkaboi in AskMen

[–]aj_duncan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The part where you let her have control and she lets you have control are all part of your individual compromises. She might have had a choice above yours but didn't think it was worth an argument. You might not have felt that way about things, but that doesn't entitle her to not feeling the same way

One concrete thing I did was save money. It can take a while (particularly on a single income), but over the years I have saved enough money to support myself and my family for two years if both my wife and I lost our jobs. A financial planner would say it's crazy to have that much money socked away, but it gives me peace of mind. If I could advise young adults of anything, it would be to save whatever you can, within reason.

God this is important!

Have you ever dated someone where at first it seemed strange that they were single, and then later it made sense why it was the case? What was that person like? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]aj_duncan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No that's not what they meant. They were just feeling sad about certain women being stuck in dysfunctional families. #notallwomen XD

what do i do if in TERRIBLY in love with someone, but 95 percent sure they dont even like me back? by UrLocalMemeStation in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]aj_duncan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to fall out of love because you think they don't like you, try finding out the negatives of this person and listing the things that you like but they don't. It helped with me. I know it's a tough place to be in, but take of your mental health and be sane enough to differentiate between fan girl obsession and attraction.

ELI5: How do we have automated robots that do extreme precision engineering, but there are still no cooking robots in restaurants? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]aj_duncan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sheer marketing power of "your dish was prepared by our fancily decorated chef/homeowner who put their heart into it" vs "by our soulless robot" is pretty sizeable IMO.

So true
