menstrual disc horror stories

The most common one is improper insertion. For example, if it's not inserted at the right angle, it can be very uncomfortable. It might feel like it's in the wrong place and cause pain right away.

I've heard of a situation where a woman used a new brand of menstrual disc. After a while, she started feeling a lot of pain and discomfort. She thought it was normal at first but as the day went on, it got worse. Turns out she was allergic to the material of the disc. It caused redness and irritation in that area, and she was in a lot of pain until she removed it and switched to a different product.

My friend had a really horrible experience. She gets extremely bad menstrual cramps every month. One time, she was on a trip and the cramps hit her so hard. She had to lie down in the car for hours, feeling dizzy and nauseous. The pain was so intense that she thought she might pass out. And the whole trip was ruined because of that.

Getting caught without any menstrual products when your period starts unexpectedly is also a horror story. Picture this: you're out running errands and suddenly you feel that familiar cramp. You rush to the restroom only to realize you have no pads or tampons. It can be a very stressful and inconvenient situation.

One horror story could be improper insertion leading to pain. Some women might not insert the menstrual cup correctly, which can cause discomfort or even a feeling of being 'stuck' inside. It can be quite scary especially for first - time users.

Individual body differences. Every woman's body is unique. What works well for one may not work for another. For example, the shape or size of the vaginal canal can affect how well the menstrual cup fits and functions, sometimes causing problems.

For the issue of unexpected heavy bleeding, always carry extra menstrual products. You can keep a few pads or tampons in your bag, wallet, or even at your workplace. That way, if there is a problem, you're prepared.

Intense pain is the most common. It can be like a sharp stabbing or a deep ache that won't go away.

One example could be improper insertion leading to discomfort and pain. Maybe the user didn't fold the menstrual cup correctly and it got stuck in an uncomfortable position, causing sharp pain during movement.

First, make sure to choose the right size. You can measure your cervix height and width to find the most suitable menstrual cup for you.
