Instead Soft Cups

Hi gals (and guys too)

I was on the board looking around b.c for 1 I LOVE THIS BOARD you girls give great advice and also b.c my boyfriend and I were going to be together last friday. I know im about a weekd late but I have been so busy. I had just started my period on Friday and we were going to have sex. Hes totally cool with everything and didnt care. Im on the pill so my flow is a lot lighter than it could have been but I just wanted it to be clean. Anyways, so I found out about the Instead Soft Cups on this board and I went to my local Walgreens and bought them. They kind of intimidated me at first but i tried it and it was ok. You couldnt feel it at all. So later that night we were going to have sex and I didnt tell him I was wearing it at first just to see if he could feel it b.c on the site people had written that there partner couldnt tell. So as we started (sorry if TMI) I could feel that he wasnt all the way in and he said that it felt like he was hitting something and thats when I told him that I had the Instead Soft Cup in and he looks at me and says "take it out" so i did. At any rate I am not able to wear that when we have sex and I was wondering if anyone else has experienced that. I reccomend the cups (its just like a diaphram but has no STD protection) but if your partner is "well endowed" I dont suggest using them because it can scratch your partner and its just no fun. Also you can wear these cups instead of pads or tampons but I wanted to just try them out so that there wasnt a mess. There wasnt really one anyways but Im glad that I tried them because I know know that I cant have anything up there including a diaphram... he needs all the room he can get! lol

Thats my story and I just wanted to pass it on to you girls..

Thanks.

Also we didnt wear a condom so idk what it would be like with that but the cup is a soft plastic and that may cause friction with the condom. Also, we have been together for 4 years and are eachothers first bf/gf, sexual partner, everything(HS sweethearts, were both 20) so there is no need to worry about STDs--thought i should add that in since there was mention of no condom.

As soon as were done... MARRIAGE! :-D it will be another 3 years or so though lol so no rush.
