Lunette Menstrual Cup – Best Reusable Period Cup – Wear for 12 Hours and Reuse up to 10 Years, Orange Size 1 for Light to Moderate Flow

This product has completely changed my life for the better. I will NEVER go back to pads and tampons.I found out about menstrual cups about a year ago, and was immediately interested to try them. I did some extensive research and decided on the Lunette Model 2. (I haven't given birth, but my periods are very heavy). I chose Lunette because of the high quality and the fact that it has quite a large capacity while still being a smaller cup.After the first day of using it, I was sold. I love it. Okay, so here's why:Pros:-FAR cheaper in the long run, as one of these can last you for years if you take care of it.-Safer, more comfortable, and more sanitary than tampons. (No risk of TSS)-Made from safe, high quality medical grade silicone. Wont leech chemicals into your body like tampons.-Eco-friendly as there's no paper/plastic/cotton waste.-Doesn't create a dank/gross smell like pads, as it wont collect/harbor bacteria from outside your body.-Never have to worry about not having pads/tampons in your purse/bathroom-Holds far more than a pad or tampon, leaks FAR less if used properly. (The only time mine leaks is if I oversleep, or forget to empty it before bed. This is just due to my flow being quite heavy)-Makes periods exponentially less miserable. (No "wet diaper" feeling from a pad, and no gross soggy tampon feeling)-Very easy to use once you get the hang of it. (I watched a few videos on Youtube on how to insert them and was able to do it right the first time. A little research goes a long way)-Easy to care for. Rinse in water after emptying it (or just wipe it down if you're in a public restroom) and boil it for 5-10 minutes after your period is done. Store in the cloth bag that it comes with.Cons: (For me, all of these are VERY minor, but worth mentioning)-There is definitely a learning curve to using them, however you can avoid most of it by watching a few videos on how to fold it to put it in. It also takes a few days to be able to tell when it's full without checking (at least for me) so you might want to wear a back-up pad while you're getting the hang of it.-You have to bear down a little harder when you pee to get the last of it out, since the cup is pushing on your urethra a little. It doesn't bother me at all, but some people might want to take it out to pee. (I usually do anyway to empty it)-You must be comfortable with your body. It's really no more messy/difficult than using an o.b. tampon (one without a plastic applicator) but I know some people are uncomfortable with that.-Some people may find it annoying to deal with it in a public restroom. Personally, I just wipe it down with toilet paper, pop it back in and wash it when I get home. It does sometimes make a bit of a splorchy sound when you put it in if you're not experienced.Honestly, non of the cons are even remotely comparable to the cons of pads/tampons, and the are mostly resolved once you get used to using a cup.If you are curious about trying a menstrual cup, my advice is DO IT. You have nothing to lose but your misery from periods! I would highly recommend the Lunette cup, but it may not be the best one for you. Do a little research on the different brands. Some are softer, firmer, longer, shorter, etc.

8/17: bought a clear one for wanted a dye free one and this time i didn’t buy it from Amazon themselves like i did purple one. bought it from a seller with 100% feedback for less and well not saying seller is selling copycats (at least not knowingly) but, this one has a weird scented like chemical/rubber smell. like it was soaked in some kind of liquid that has a slight scent which absorbed into cup permanently for even after washing it with cup cleaner and boiling it for 20 mins twice, the smell is still there! there was no real smell on my purple one when i received it other than packaging smell that went away after washing and boiling it so i don’t believe this is normal at all.. check and boil your cup before you cut off stem so you can return it if still stinks like this, i didn't and now am stuck with a cup i will not use.this is my 4th cup in one week and i have ordered one more brand today (juju) which that one will more than likely be my last cup since it is the longest, has no irritating ridges on stem like this lunette cup has and it has the perfect firmness of 4 like this lunette cup has..In the end after starting out with a soft & small cup and moving on up through the firmness and sizes, this lunette model 2 cup was the best fit for me in firmess and the length size (2.80" including stem) was better than others & acceptable even though it still rode up in me a tad bit farther than i like BUT it has one major drawback (for me), them making the stem flat with rough ridges, meant to be there for a better grip (which definitely works at that), overlooked the fact that those rough ridges would irritate a lot of us women down there who aren't perfectly straight in there or swell up, the stem feels like sandpaper when it rubs/pokes against your wall (especially when you sit).. Because of that squared flat ridge stem (which i cannot cut off since i need to keep it long since cups ride up in me), this cup turns out to be the most unconfortable of all the cups, yet it is my favorite for it is the best fitting one and i was totally in love with it upon first use because i used the C-fold (which doesn't work well with the softer cups - the fold down works best with those) and started putting it in and loosen my grip a little too early and it went halfway in crooked, yet i was able to keep pushing it in and it popped open just like that ---no pushing around cup needed, no sticking finger up there like i was digging for gold or something, no twirling 360 and no having to take cup back out 3-5 times on average because it just wouldn't close up no matter what (that part with first cup almost made me say the heck with this after a 15min bathroom time that made me want to throw a fit but, i went straight online afterwards and bought the aneer cup sterilizer thing that came with 2 cups so i would not give up)... this Lunette ci- really was the easiest cup of them all to insert, it truly does pop open in there easily even if swelled up in there and for that alone, this cup is worth every penny IF stem doesn't end up bothering you or if it does you don't mind cutting it off if your cervix isn't higher up)!! With that said, i am pretty sure when the JUJU #3 cup gets here it will be my last cup and more than likely it will be the best for 'my' body and my sanity, if by chance it is not, than i will deal with the stem on this lunette (maybe the rough edges can be rounded offanna cup: small - firmness i think is a 1 or 2, way TOO SOFT to pop open in you.aneercup: small & large - firmness 3 (the large is pretty good, do like this one better then lunette but, firmness of lunette is best)this purple lunette model 2 cup - firmness 4 (soft yet stiff)my next cup JUJU 3 high pelvic - firmness 4 (Longest cup available i believe, 3.07" including stem)-the one important thing i learned in my menstrual cup adventure is DO NOT buy menstrual cups with a firmness under 3, they will make you irritable and cause leaks for they do not open up very easily and the tricks given by others do not work well on those!!-I think the aneercup sterilizer machine with the 2 cups (SM & L) for $30 something is a better choice than one lunette for beginners, firmness is in middle, its comfy all around and it closes up decently (not automatically like this lunette though), usually 2 tries max and i had it in perfectly. once you get the hang of it, you will know; which size cup is best for you, whether you need to move on to a brand with a shorter cup or a longer cup, wether you need a cup that holds more fluids, and wether you need a softer or firmer cup (if you swell up & are tight down there, firmer is better, the softer cup just get squished up and are a pain to get opened in there and will leak)..UPDATE 4/18: yikes i wrote a book above instead of a review!! Anyhow, raised rating from 4 stars to 5 stars, i fixed the scratchy grip rings around stem by trimming them all off with my 'cuticle cutter' (gets closer than a nail clipper) and rounded off the stem end sides so corner of it doesn't poke on my sides. now stem feels smooth but, still has hairline grip rings around stem and i now love it..

There’s a brief learning curve, and it’s been an interesting experience sticking my fingers up there to pull out and empty the cup, but I’m completely sold! I do feel that I maybe should’ve gotten the larger size due to my very heavy flow (p.s. I’ve never been pregnant).

J'aime beaucoup cette cup elle est bien pas trop souple pas trop rigide juste parfaite pour moi

I usually do a lot of research before trying something new and this brand seemed better than others. I ordered this over 4 years ago, reluctantly, since I read mixed reviews nonetheless. It took a couple of tries to get a proper handle of how to use it but don't give up, this is amazing! Just ordered again although there is no damage to my cup but thought it's about time to replace it.One recommendation I have though, may want to give it a good scrub now and then. Tried the alcohol, sanitizing, etc but nothing worked better than a good scrub with a small toothbrush (used baby size and new of course:) and toothpaste!

Adoro questa coppetta, prima di tutto perché, per essere una S, è davvero molto capiente! Alcune della stessa taglia già è tanto che contengano 10-12 ml, questa, da quello che so, ne contiene circa 20, e va bene in quei giorni in cui il flusso è scarso ma può ancora fare qualche scherzetto, diventando più abbondante all’improvviso e per poco, ma abbastanza per macchiare nel caso la coppetta sia troppo piccola: nel mio caso, il penultimo). Vorrei aggiungere qualche info generale sulla coppetta, perché l’esperienza mi ha insegnato, per esempio, che per scegliere questo stupendo dispositivo bisogna prima di tutto considerare l’entità del flusso e quanto si è sensibili nelle parti basse, mentre età e parti potrebbero incidere moltorelativamente (ovviamente siamo tutte diverse, ma i produttori di coppette insistono su questi particolari, così che magari ci si ritrova con una troppo grande o piccola per il proproo flusso). Poi: lo stelo, se non dà fastidio, può essere utilissimo per tirare fuori la coppetta, anche se in giro si dice che non serva a nulla. Bisogna sperimentare e capire cosa fa per sé, e quindi prendere le info che si leggono con le pinze… in realtà, vale un po’ per tutto ☺️ spero di essere stata utile, W la coppetta!

I dont hate those days any more
