what if a menstrual cup gets stuck inside me?

Question

can it get stuck im sure it can but what if it hurts to put my finger and thumb in my vagina if it does get stuck how would you get it out without hurting or a little easier

Answer 1

Nothing can get stuck in your vagina, what goes in has to come out and the length of the unaroused (it becomes longer when you’re aroused) vagina is approximately 6 to 7.5 cm (2.5 to 3 in) with your cervix at the top so there is no where else for it to go. Millions of women insert menstrual cups, tampons, sex toys and other objects into their vagina, they very rarely get stuck, when they do a woman can easily remove it and in very rare occasions can go to her doctor or hospital to have whatever object is stuck removed. The menstrual cup tends to stay very low down in your vagina, lower than a tampon, it has a ‘tail’ that you can use to help remove it but you don’t need it as all you need to do to reach the cup is bare down – using your vaginal muscles to push it closer to your vaginal opening. You would always be able to reach it with your fingers so always be able to remove it.



If you are experiencing pain when inserting anything into your vagina than it might be something you want to talk to your doctor about as you may be suffering from vaginismus – where your vaginal muscles spasm or tighten causing pain during penetration. This is normally psychological, in other words you worry or have issues with things being inserted into your vagina. It may however simply be that you are tensing up as you’re not used to vaginal penetration, in which case I would suggest masturbation as when aroused your vagina becomes longer, wider, more relaxed and lubricated, it’s natures way of making sure that penetration is not painful. Lubrication is another idea, such as KY jelly or olive oil – remember too that a menstrual cup can be used any time of your cycle, not just during your period, so you can practice for a while before you use it during your period, you can also use them in the bath and shower so use the water as a lubricant and to help you relax.



FYI menstrual cups aren’t just silicone and aren’t always bell-shaped, there are different types of menstrual cups, in fact you’ve listed a few of them. Reusable menstrual cups only last up to 10 years, 15 would be pushing it a bit.

Babii girl if it does get stuck than you should go to a gynecologist and tell them that you need to take out this menstrual cup but you aren't sure how.

I have a mooncup and I really don't think you could get it stuck. There really isn't anywhere for it to go where you wouldn't be able to get at it. The only problem I've had with removal is that the suction sometimes won't break by pinching the base but if that happens you can reach up to the rim to break the seal. I actually cut the stem off completely because it's more comfortable and I found the stem completely unnecessary. They have a bit of a learning curve at first, but once you get the hang of it you'll love it, I will never ever buy another pad or tampon.

I have a silicone diva cup and I don't think it is possible for it to get stuck. It' not like it goes way up--it always easy to reach when you need to take it out, plus it really doesn't shift around once its in place because of the way it's designed. If you are looking into buying one I know that the diva cup has a money back guarantee if you don't like it (I am not sure how long it applies though). I would definitely reccomend them as a much more comfortable, much more healthier, and and a very eco-firendly alternative. I have really heavy periods and this is the only thing that works for me that I don't have to go to the bathroom every hour, and I don't have to be paranoid about leaking through my clothes. Hope this helps!

What's a menstrual cup?........Oh ok. Thanks for explaining.



I looked it up online and it says that it can't get stuck but I found instructions on how to take it out:



While sitting on the toilet, grasp the pull-tab firmly so the tips of your fingers pinch the base of the cup. This action will allow air to enter around the cup, releasing the suction and helping with removal. Ease the cup gently forward and downward, supporting the bottom of the cup with your fingertips to prevent spilling. Empty, rinse or wipe your cup out (you can use toilet tissue), then simply reinsert. It's easy with a little practice.



Hope this helped.

if it got stuck i would get a mirror reflected inside the vagina so you can see what youre doing, and then gently take it out. use can use gloves so you wont scratch...





if its really high..then i would go to a doctor. i know its embarrasing but if you cant get it you might hurt yourself bad...
