This is probably TMI but also I think women deserve to open up the conversation without feeling like taboo. Today is my first time trying a menstrual cup and so far Im loving the possibility of starting to be less wasteful as a person with a menstrual period.

Honestly thinking about making this a thread on my first time experience. Should I? Also if anyone has any questions at all I’m happy to answer them here or DMs whatever is more comfortable for you!

Okay so yesterday was my first day but i don’t wanna count it bc it’s always light and nothing really happened. TODAY however is my heavy day. And my clumsy ass did the thing we all fear when trying menstrual cups for the first time. I pulled it out wrong and it got messy BUT...

it’s very comfortable so far. I don’t wanna let my stupid mistake discourage me or anyone. It’s been a lot more positive than negative and despite making a mess for that, it feels 100x cleaner than any tampon or pad I’ve ever worn. I recommend having wipes handy for first timers
