I have started using a Juju cup and I really like it once it's in. I've got the knack of getting it in now but getting it out is awful. I just can't seem to get it out without squating in a heap of positions and bearing down like I'm giving birth then it just hurts and feels like I'm going to give myself a prolapse. Are there any tips from fello Juju/moon/diva cup users to make me experience a bit better? Are there some that are easier than others to use? I have the model for over 30/given birth vaginally.

I have a JuJu as well. For me, lifting my leg up while bearing down a bit while inserting one finger and hooking it onto the JuJu works. Once my finger is on the JuJu, I insert my thumb so that I am pinching the cup then I squeeze it, releasing the suction and it comes out. Good luck, they really are great if you can get the hang of them x
I've been having the same problem. I squat and just go for it. I was trying to do it very nicely but with no success.. the only way Ivan get it out is to shove three fingers up so that I can grab a proper grip on the base and break the seal.
You need to gently pinch the bottom of it, while bearing down, then move it in a side to side motion to break the seal. I also found that, when inserting, to make sure the little pole thingy at the end is not completely inserted into your virgina. You can insert the cup to high which then masks it very hard to get out. After 4 months of trying different cups, and at one point having my toilet look like the end scene from the movie Carrie, I've found that the juju is my favorite by far.
