Small Period Cup - Teen Menstrual Cups for Beginners

I’ve ordered this yesterday I got a small and a large one , so far I’ve only used the small one , it’s kinda soft but at first kinda difficult to put in or take out at first it felt really uncomfortable while it was in but after a while u couldn’t feel it anymore , taking it out was the worse part it hurt really bad but now i doesn’t hurt and it’s much easier to put it in once you get the hang of it there’s really no problem I haven’t leaked this whole time I even wore it to bed amazing product you should buy!

I started out using the original Moon cup, and while I'll never look back to using disposable period products, I didn't like how the opaque whiteish ones yellow over time with staining no matter how much you boil and clean it. It also didn't come with any appropriate casing as a fabric pouch isn't ideal for anything silicone. The bright pink ones didn't appeal to me either, so I tried out this more aesthetically pleasing dark green one. Having used the larger size of moon cup, I went straight in for the larger size here too thinking it'd be the same, but these ones are slightly bigger! Like when first using cups, there was a small adjustment period, but now that I'm used to it, I barely notice it's size difference. I feel fortunate my periods have never bothered me much beyond the inconvenience of bleeding however, so if you're more sensitive to cup size and cramps you might want to size down! The rounded end and smoother feel to the silicone also makes for a much more comfortable feel and easier on inserting and removal. I think it can be a little more tricky to insert and get it to pop open due to it's slightly larger size, but again, once you're used to it, you find your technique. The dark solid colour means it's more difficult to gauge how much blood ends up in the cup if that matters to you, but it also makes any staining less of an issue, as I'm yet to notice any discolouration at all! I also really appreciate the plastic case and extra cup (both cups fit in with a bit of a squeeze), as this makes things easier when you're out on the go.

I have used a few brands of menstrual cups over years and this is the softest. If you don't mind full finger insertion to adjust opening it up it is very comfortable. If you want something more snap inflatable this is not the cup for you. The softness also make removal a little more delicate for potential leakage so if you are not used to it please remove lower clothes incase you get a little snap after the pop on a heavier day. Once the transitions are done it is great. Clings to the walls of your vagina no spillages promotes vaginal secretions which helps. removal which is super import to younger girlie's and older pre menopausals. Incredible value for money too

Good product

I've used the Mooncup in the past and having come off contraceptives after 8 years I wanted to go back to a menstrual cup after the mess of pants, pads and tampons. Easy to use, as firm as a Mooncup, no leaks or discomfort. These do, like all cups, need pinching at at the base of the cup to "break the seal" on removal, or it feels like your cervix is being sucked out. Plus they do pretty colours, so no discolouration like tge Mooncup, and less expensive.

Reviewing at the end of my first cycle using these cups. I hadn’t ever really considered using a cup until I saw a TikTok about pink tax and thought “f*** it” to the period products I’m buying every month and wanted to give one a go. I went for this brand after a lot of research into other brands and honestly didn’t know if I’d need a small or large cup. With other brands they were more pricey for only one cup so I thought at £15 and you’re getting both, that seems decent. My first impression was how easy it was to insert. Some people mentioned they struggled to get it to open up but honestly if you kind of get your leg up on the bathroom side, fold it up and then pull it back down and wiggle it a bit once it’s inside, it opened up fine. An issue arose however, the first evening when I reinserted it after the shower. I went to pee and couldn’t! I left it half an hour or so, got into bed and read my book then came back to try again. Still struggling! Did a bit of googling and watched YouTube videos about struggling to pee and realised it can actually push on your bladder if you have it too high. I’d automatically just inserted it up and felt it sitting right but admittedly it did instantly make me need a wee. I pulled it down and had it sat lower and could wee! Just thought this was worth noting as to be honest it was quite scary feeling the need to go but feeling like the cup was blocking it! After this hurdle at the beginning and realising where it needed to sit, I had no issues, and to be honest this wasn’t an issue with this brand in general, I feel like it just comes with experience from using a menstrual cup. The rest of my cycle was a breeze, I saw someone else on here say that they barely noticed they were on their period and I totally relate. Also a note on sizing, I am 29 and have given natural births twice. I tried the small first and it was perfect for me, I felt the large looked quite intimidating! But in the middle of my cycle probably one of my heaviest days, during the middle of the night I found I’d leaked. I then switched to the large cup for overnight and found that it was better for my flow on the heavier days. They both sat fine comfort wise :) 100% recommend! Love that I never have to buy pads and tampons again, hallelujah!

Overall, great cups, the smaller one is great, after I had my second child I needed to up the size but the bigger cup is also heavier so I constantly felt like it was going to fall out, it was causing unnecessary pressure and stress. Would not recommend the bigger cup, the bigger size shouldn't be heavier

Took a while to get used to but there’s no leaking I prefer the cups a lot more than tampons and it’s such a cheaper alternative

I had a beach trip coming up, got this bad boy at the last minute and it did not disappoint. I was skeptical of wearing it to the beach but this was my first menstrual cup. It was uncomfortable at first but wearing it for a while, my body got used to it and I almost forgot my cycle was on. All I know it’s definitely saved me money from tampons and pads. I still have my entire box of tampons. Needless to say, I love it.

Horrible, la cup est rigide et epaisse. Lorsque je la porte ça augmente mes douleurs tellement ça appuie a l'intérieur. Pourtant je sais me servir des cups, j en porte depuis assez longtemps, c est la 4 ème que j'achète, je prend des marques différentes a chaque fois, plus jamais celle ci. Elle est rangée et je ne suis pas prête de m en resservir.

Had been using the moon up for years, but since Brexit made it so expensive to import, I tried the Shordy and find it better, more comfortable, than the Mooncup!

perfect flexibility and i appreciate that it came with 2 sizes. seems durable and they are easy to clean. love the case it came with.

Best menstrual cups I’ve used! Super super comfortable, flexible (easy to insert) and I love the super soft tip that makes removal easier. Just as a heads up to first time menstrual cup users, this cup has a very very strong seal (suction power). This is great because I’ve had no leaks whatsoever, but if you’re not experienced in breaking the seal and taking it out it might be difficult for you. Some tips: do NOT just try to pull it straight out, this will be incredibly uncomfortable (and at times, dangerous). Try to wedge one or two fingers along the side and scoop, or come hither motion along the side until you feel the seal pop. Once the seal is popped you can pull a bit at the bottom tab to get it close, and then pinch the cup near the top to pull the rest out. This minimizes any mess from accidentally dumping the contents as you pull it out. If the cup is too deep or feels out of reach, try pushing while you break the seal. This should put it in a more accessible position. Don’t be afraid to try these cups out!! Insertion and removal is a learning curve, but once you figure it out it’s super easy and takes no time at all. They are far far superior to tampons IMO, you never have to worry about leaking or changing every 1-2 hours if you have a heavier flow. Good luck!
