| I had that problem but then read the leaflet and it told me to push and then i could get my finger around the rim and pull it out. | | | | Status: Offline

| I used them for the first time this cycle. First time i used it, i got DH to do his bit into the cup and then I inserted it - but most of it landed on the ensuite floor ... 
Next three times we did our thing in the normal fashion and then i inserted while sat on the edge of the bed. No spillage no problems - although they're slightly more difficult to remove than they are to fit, but you get the hang of it.
fingers crossed they work ... | | | | Status: Offline

I prefer getting DH to deposit straight into the cup before inserting it while laying flat as there is no spillage if you do it this way x | | | | Status: Offline

| I tried getting DH to do his thing into the cup but I spilt most of it. Mind you, I was following the instructions and sitting on the edge of the loo at the time. After that I get them partially inserted while lying down and then I sit up to make sure it gets into the right position after that. Fingers crossed they do the trick anyhow... | | | | Status: Offline

| Chocci if you find out where to buy rockets let me know....
.... i never got my instead cups. DH appears to have an affliction as far as his SA goes this week and i think expecting him to do it in a cup will have a worse response! Honestly... where's his sense of adventure!  | | | | Status: Offline

Honestly... where's his sense of adventure! | If i started asking my hubby to do it into a cup he would divorce me, it sounds almost as bad as using a turkey baster haha, and after 20 months TTC i am seriously considering that!!! hahaha | | | | Status: Offline

| My first time in this thread ladies and it has been an education. I think the cups sound great in theory but I can't even get my head around tampons! I once suffered from thrush for weeks before I could round to using the pessary ( which cleared it up start away). I would really like to try these. Comfort me, it wouldn't really get stuck would it?
