Am I inserting my menstrual cup in wrong?

Hello! So I only just started using menstrual cups today, specially the small soft Saalt cup, and I’m already planning on giving up.

Do you guys insert the cup all in one go or do you need to push some of it in and then scoot your fingers down to push the rest in from the bottom? I do the second one, and I’m pretty sure it starts trying to unfold before I push it all in when I scoot my fingers down, forcing me to have to shove the part that was trying to unfold in, and that hurts quite a bit, but it’s bearable

Also, how deep am I supposed to push this? I thought I was pushing it too deep, but learned that if I just push it in with the stem sticking out, in a few minutes it will naturally go deeper on its own instead of me having to push it all the way up, which brings me to my problem!

When I try to take out the cup, I struggle to reach the base with 2 fingers unless I push down a little like I’m trying to birth the thing. Otherwise, I can’t even touch it besides the stem, which unfortunately I can’t pull out with that part. Surely I’m not supposed to be doing that every time right? TMI, but it feels like I’m deep diving in there just to get the darn thing.

Also, I start leaking in like 3 hours, which would not be surprising if this was a tampon, but I thought I could wear this for much longer.

Then, I impulsively ordered a saalt regular disc to come later today, but I realized, if I’m struggling to reach far enough to get the saalt cup out, how will I get the disc out??

Can I ask my eye doctor to try different trial contacts mostly just for sake of trying a different one?

If this info helps at all, I go to America’s Best.

I have been using my trial Acuvue Vita contacts for two weeks and my follow up appointment is tomorrow. The contacts are okay I guess. In my left eye though, it does sometimes feel like the sensation of an eyelash or dust in the corner. My prescription is the same on both lenses, so I tried swapping the right and left one and same thing, but I forget about it anyways if I tune into whatever I am doing.

My eyes do also get itchy if I even dare rub my eyes once, and I just have to force myself through the itch to not rub it again and then the itch finally goes away. Also, my eyes do kind of get “tired” after a few hours where I can’t wait to get them out, but that’s because I work on a computer and stare at the screen literally all day.

Anyways, for the most part, ignoring all those issues, I guess the contacts are fine, like I’ll forget about all of that when I’m not thinking about it. However, my sister uses Biofinity and I was just curious how they work and was wondering how likely my eye doctor will let me try a specific pair of my choice or if they will pick their own again for me, or not even let me try a different one at all.

Wait for the S27 Ultra instead of getting the Z Flip 8?

So I am a current iPhone user after having a S10+ for years until it broke 2 years ago. I then used my sister’s old iPhone 8 until I got my current iPhone 16. iPhone is cool, but I think I like Samsung better.

My interest to get back into Samsung peaked when I first seen the Z Flip 7, but I waited for the Z Flip 8 to come out so see what it would look like, and it’s cute, but I am not sure if it’s worth getting. I heard things like the camera is not that great (as in the actual phone camera), the battery also isn’t that great because of the 2 screens, you need to be really careful with the phone because of the hinge, and the fact that the phone did not change much from the Z Flip 7 besides a few tweaks (I could be wrong so please do correct me)

So, while I think the Z Flip 8 is still cute, I was thinking I should just get the S26 Ultra because I heard good things about it, and then, in the future, if the Z Flip gets any better, maybe I’ll switch over. However, if I plan on getting the S26 Ultra, I thought I should just be patient and wait for the S27 Ultra to come out in a couple of months and pray it has more upgrades compared to the S26 Ultra. Does that sound smart?

Curious about my future as a teller

Hi, so I recently graduated and got a job a month ago as a teller at a credit union, but I’m already starting to consider my future aspects. I don’t plan on looking for a job any time soon, this job is really easy and I like it regardless of it not paying that much, but I can’t help but wonder. Is it hard to move up as a teller within the branch you are in, or even find a better job outside the branch? I have a degree in accounting but I have literally no internships besides one short and lowkey kind of insignificant internship at EY that was more of like a character development thing.

I also have no other work experience besides working at Walmart for one month during the summer, so I really have not much else going for myself besides this teller job. They do have an accounting department inside the branch, but I think it would be pretty hard to jump from tellering to accounting. It doesn’t even have to be accounting because I honestly chose that major at random, I’m just curious how hard it is to move to any better position to be honest.

edit: I already figured out the answer, which is they do get shipped to the mailroom (for ones not sold by Walmart at least), but I’ll just leave this up for any other curious people.

Has anyone ordered anything off Walmart through the shipping (not delivery) option and actually got it shipped to the mailroom? I am trying to order something off Walmart, but it isn’t sold by Walmart, so there’s no delivery or pickup option available.

Last time I ordered off Walmart through the shipping option, like 2 years ago, an actual driver was sent to drop it off and I had to go on a damn adventure just to find out where he was. I think the product I ordered was actually sold by Walmart and maybe was available for pickup, so maybe that’s why, I can’t remember though.

Anyways, does anyone know if orders through the shipping option (specifically orders not sold by Walmart) get shipped to the mailroom?
