Instead and Poo
Couldn't find anything about this in the archive, and searching "instead" turns up way too many results. If I'm asking something that's already been answered, please point me to the applicable location.
I've just started using Instead last night. Maybe it's a bad time - I just had to go off the pill entirely because my refills expired and the dr. was closed over memorial day and the urgent care centers didn't give a shit. So now I'm really having a period and it's CRAZY.
I was kind of excited about getting my period because I've got a fun new toy - alternative menstraul products! It's not a Divacup, but Target had Insteads. I finally figured out that I have to go in sort of sideways (horizontally across the vaginal canal instead of up into it) and then push the outer bit of the ring up under my pubic bone, so that's cool. But I've also discovered that when I have a bowel movement I dislodge the Instead and it pours out. It just tips a little. And when it's all the way in, it's nowhere as far up as the lady in the instruction pictures on the box. She's got some kind of crazy ten inch long vaginal canal.
I can seperate the pelvic floor contractions that allow me to pee(but that's more of a relaxation than a pushing), but I can't seperate the "squeezing the vag" contraction that dislodges Instead from the "going poo" contraction. Plus, I think my vaginal canal is too short. Seriously, it's like two inches, and my cervix pooches out a lot (there's kind of pockets of vag around it). I just wanted to say pockets of vag. But maybe I'm too short for Instead? It's in and happy right now, but I'm worried that if I sneeze or do cartwheels or something...
Any Instead users have advice, particularly about using the bathroom while Instead is in?
Also, how the hell could this thing not get noticed during sex? If bowel movement pelvic floor contractions dislodge it, surely the vaginal contractions/expansions during sex would cause something explosive.
ETA: I just gave up. Someone called my cell phone, it was in the front pocket of a tighter pair of jeans, the phone was on vibrate, I jumped and hollered and twitched my pelvic floor muscle and leaked Instead all over myself. Hello, o.b. tampons until I can buy a Divacup. Gah.
