Kristen Bell's terrifying menstrual cup experience will haunt you forever

Kristen Bell has just turned us off menstrual cups forever, and we're sure this story will do the same to you.

Kristen appeared on Busy Phillips' new talk show Busy Tonight recently, where she recounted the horror story she endured with her menstrual cup.

"I’ve tried the DivaCup but I had a very weird experience with it," Kristen explained, explaining that it takes a while "to figure it out, or really to finger it out."

"A menstrual cup is tricky and takes some trial and error."

"I will say to the DivaCup company that I think this was an enigma but I once got it stuck," Kristen explained, upset because she actually loved her cup.
I’m saving money, I’m saving the environment – this is great".

"So I was going to remove it because it was time for a change and I went to grab it but there was something that was suctioned to the wrong part of me," she explained. "And you know that feeling they say when you have a vasovagal nerve that can immediately make you pass out? Well, I pulled and I passed out."

She continued: "I came to and I still hadn’t got it out so I then had to be like “OK you’ve got to brace yourself, you’ve got to grab hard, you’ve got to grab strong” and I ripped it out."

"After that I was like maybe it’s not for me," explained Kristen."‘But prior to that I had had a great experience."

It's a no from us.
