That wouldn't be a good trip!
I can assure you that although at first they are a bit unfamiliar and wierd feeling but they go in eaaily and do come out quite easliy too. They won't get stuck!
Good luck! | | | | Status: Offline

Definitely give them a go - best £5 I ever spent   | How long were you ttc? | | | | Status: Offline

They take a bit of getting used to, but honestly, they're really fairly simple to use... They don't get stuck. I did struggle a bit to get the first one out, but you learn to kind of push at the same time as trying to pull it out and it comes out easy.
Where abouts in ireland are you? | | | | Status: Offline

I've been having trouble with leakage too, and I must say, the softcups are great for keeping everything where it should be ... | | | | Status: Offline

| I've decided to try them this cycle too, although I am a little surprised by the size. I am only on CD6 today, so I have a while to go before I have to worry about it. Good luck everyone! | | | | Status: Offline
