Diva Cup... stuck.

[riverslove.livejournal.com]

I got my diva-cup in the mail today.
So, even though I don't have my period, I wanted to try it out.
So, I put it in. 
And now, I can't get it back out.
It's not that it's ridden up too high. It's that the suction is REALLY strong.
And I'm scared I'm going to hurt myself if I pull too hard.
HELP!

Thank you in advance.

EDIT: OMG, THANK YOU, LADIES!  I hadn't trimmed the stem yet, and it was kind of uncomfortable.
Thank you all for responding so quickly.

At least I know I won't have to worry about leaks, with suction like THAT!
:)
Thank you again!

I still dont get the point of these. If its like a suction cup, when you pull it out, wont lal the blood spill out? It seems like it would be very messy/ I think I'll stick to my tampons, lol

Mine has never spilled, even when it's been completely full.

I thought the same thing until I went to the DivaCup site and actually read about it. I desperately want one now!

Thirded on the never spilling! And, much like a tampon that hasn't absorbed all the fluid, if there is an occasional drip, that's why you take it out over the toilet.

I've just started using mine, and haven't had a spill yet! And I would have thought I would on my first time, since the "put a finger up there" method doesn't work for me (it just beds around the pubic bone and holds on the suction), so I have to pinch the base completely together to get it to let go. But nope, no spillage.

I pinch mine to get it open too. I don't even want to think where the blood goes when I squeeze it to break the suction, but I havent had any spill issues either.
