Need advice
I am 35 and have been wanting to switch to a menstrual cup for years, but I have always been nervous about trying one.
My periods can be extremely painful. I have been checked by a doctor and they didn’t find PCOS/PCOD or any obvious underlying issue. I have noticed that taking magnesium significantly reduces the pain, which has made things more manageable.
My main worry is using a cup on the days when the cramps are bad. I am concerned that inserting or removing it might be difficult or painful when I am already dealing with period pain.
For anyone who has painful periods and uses a menstrual cup, how was your experience when you first started? Did inserting/removing it make your cramps worse, and is there anything that made the learning process easier?
Kindly advise :)
