The Diary Game: Having Bad Stomach Cramps And Using A Menstrual Cup

Good day guys, welcome to another episode of my diary sessions with yours truly @growwithnens and in today's session, I'm going to be sharing with us how I had fell into the trap of using a menstrual cup for my period.

So apparently
My period started today and this one really came with alot of cramps that were almost unbearable. The flow was kinda a bit much which made me to consume a lot of pads. So I remembered seeing this "MENSTRUAL CUP" of a thing on social media and lots of women testifying to it's durability and that it's better and more comfortable than pads not to forget that it's economical too🤦.

[The Menstrual Cup]

The economical aspect really entered my head and was what convinced me to try it out for myself.
I said, “If I can buy this thing once and stop buying pads every month, why not?”
judging from the heavy flow I was having plus I will spend alot if I'm to continue using pads.

[On My Way To Buy It]

OMG 😱......
I did not know I was about to enter menstrual engineering school niii 😭

THE REALITY 😭😭

I was able to buy it and the retuned home. But then the time I was supposed to use to wear my pad jejely, I was busy folding the mouth of this cup like I was trying to solve a mathematics question.

I tried acute angle............no way ‼️‼️‼️

Obtuse angle............no way ‼️‼️‼️

I squatted............no way ‼️‼️‼️

I stood on one leg..........still didn't work out‼️‼️‼️‼️

At one point, I opened my legs like I wanted to give birth to triplets.
This thing was fighting for its life.

I would fold it, push it and it would open halfway and look at me like, “Madam, what exactly are we doing here?😂”
I even started sweating.

Not because of the weather o.
Menstrual cup sweat 😭😭

After several attempts and negotiations that would have qualified for a UN peace meeting, I sha finally got it inside 😌.

I stood up.

I walked around.

I bent down.

I jumped small.

I even did one unnecessary waist movement.

Everything seemed okay.

I said, “Ah! Nens, you have conquered this one!!!!!

SECOND TROUBLE 😭😭

Until I wanted to urinate in school 😫

Omo.

I entered the toilet, sat down and started peeing.

But something was not right!!

The urine was coming out like somebody had reduced the pressure from the tap.

“Pssssssssssssssssssssssss…”

I waited.

Nothing.

I pushed a little further.
Psssssssssssssssssses .........…”

I said, “What is this one again????”

I immediately remembered I had something in between my legs.

I quickly brought out the cup, washed it and abandoned the entire economical project.

Because what exactly is all this going back and forth about?????

I wasn't prepared to be doing practicals everytime I wanted to use the toilet.

THE DISCOMFORT ‼️‼️

At some point, I could feel something inside me and I kept adjusting my sitting position like a woman sitting on a hot chair in a police station.

I would sit down......

Stand up........

Sit again.........

Shift left.........

Shift right......

Cross my legs .......... Uncross it ......

Then I would remember:
"Nens, it was you that put this thing inside yourself" 😭

I even became conscious of every movement.

If I coughed, I would even be wondering "hope this thing is still where I left it, hope it hasn't moved 🤦"

At this point, I no longer cared about the economy aspect!!
I wanted peace!!!!!!!!!!

I quietly went back to the toilet and brought out my SOFTCARE PAD and wore it jejely 😂

THE RELIEF 🌸🌸🥰

It was like returning home after traveling.
I later fling the eye cup away sef. I prefer my peace please 😌😌
