Consider removing your cup while sitting on the toilet bowl or while in the shower, especially your first time. Always remove by pinching the base of the cup and wiggling as you pull. Never pull on the stem alone. Wiggle back and forth while removing, pulling out the top of the rim first, keeping cup upright to avoid spilling, then remove the bottom of the rim. If you can't reach your cup when it is inserted, relax. The cup cannot get lost inside the vagina; sometimes it may sit higher up and be hard to reach (this can happen at night). To lower the cup, use your pelvic muscles to bear down on the cup, moving it lower.
