My menstrual cup won’t fit in.
I guess it’s true — you can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs or a menstrual cup without making a few messes!
There was no way I would ever imagine myself writing something like this. But as I have mentioned in the title, it happened to me too. Among other reasons, I’ve been quite fond of switching over from pads to cups over the past few weeks, not because they’re safer but because they’re a lot more popular among teenagers. It took me a while to get one, but I eventually got one.
After using it for a few days, I have to say I’m pretty happy with it. I’m glad I made the switch and happy to see that I’m not the only one who’s made the switch. It’s a great way to stay up to date with the latest trends.
There isn’t much smoothness in my story, so let me explain…
I eagerly anticipated its use as soon as I received it. Like I had never waited for my period so eagerly, but this time I was looking forward to it more than anything, and I was counting down the days until it arrived like I was anticipating Christmas. When it finally arrived, I was so thrilled to use it!
The period finally arrived, and I sterilized my cup, and I was ready to use it and was quite excited to use it for the first time. Nevertheless, the moment I tried to put it in, I felt something was wrong. In spite of the fact that there seemed to be something wrong with pushing the cup in, I continued trying and finally managed to get it in, but it wouldn’t open.
After a few minutes, I realized something was seriously wrong and immediately removed it. Having tried various folds for the next couple of minutes, I decided that my preferred fold would be the 7-fold or Triangle-fold, which seemed to be the best for me.
My thoughts were racing as I walked down the hallway into my home. Walking down the hall, I noticed guests had begun arriving at my home, and I was strolling along here and there. I also had a cold a few days before. Then, I sneezed in the kitchen, where my mother was preparing the food for the family. Suddenly, I remembered that I had just started using a menstrual cup. And it came out. I was mortified and quickly attempted to shove the cup back, but unfortunately, I couldn’t do it. I quickly ran out of the kitchen, embarrassed beyond belief.
In the bathroom, I realized that maybe I was being too harsh on myself and that my method wasn’t correct. So, I decided to take a few deep breaths and try again. I used the correct technique this time: inserting the cup at a 45-degree angle. Sure enough, it worked like a charm. “I guess it’s true what they say; it’s all about the angle!”
After I was done, I felt a huge sense of relief. I returned to the kitchen, ready to face my embarrassing predicament. Gladly, nobody noticed it. I was so relieved that it was all done without anyone noticing. From then on, I practiced the proper technique and never had to face the same embarrassing situation again. To this day, I’m still very thankful for YouTube tutorials — they saved me from any further embarrassment.
But I’m still always double-checking my technique when I am in the kitchen — just in case YouTube has pulled a fast one on me!
I mean, YouTube has been known to do that before, right? Put up a tutorial on how to put on a menstrual cup ideally, only to realize that it was a tutorial on how to make a complete mess…You know what they say — if it’s not a mess, it’s not a menstrual cup tutorial!

You know what they say — if it’s not a mess, it’s not a menstrual cup tutorial — but if it is a mess, it’s probably still a menstrual cup tutorial!
