Menstrual Cups - Small Reusable Period Cup for Teens & Women (Blue)

Fyi, there are some facts and opinions in my writing. If you are someone who like to be warned about TMI (too much information), then look away from my review! Hope that helps! Okay I'm not not a pic of this in use!! Actually I'm only reviewing like this, so Amazon will tell me a joke! The last one was: "Why did turtle break up with the giraffe? They never saw eye to eye" Amazon is pretty funny for telling is joke, but I think them telling jokes is funnier than the joke itself😂 but seriously, I do want to review this, because if you are a person who menstruates, this device could make your life easier. Okay the review... It's a life saver using this... Cups and discs are so much easier to use than tampons. I have had endometriosis removed twice; last time was 2014, so my periods are really B A D. Like, shuts me down completely for days. My body goes through so many changes. I also have PCOS and my ovaries have become home based to many cysts that's come and go over time. It's not easy to deal with pelvic pain of any kind, but what I did not know for too many years, is that tampons were majorly contributing to that pain. Menstrual cups like this one, are designed to fit into the space, inside the body, much higher than a tampon would. Tampons sit lower than that, and put constant pressure on your ovaries. Try that with a larger cyst! Ouch! I still have very painful cycles and painful ovulation between (mittelschmerz), but at least now, I can stop from unknowingly making them worse. I have a box of gloves in each bathroom, that I use when I insert and remove. I have CKD and kidney stones, so it's normal for me to have gloves anyway. It really makes the entire process so much easier, because my sink is not within arms reach for easy cleaning. I dump the blood in the toilet, then clean it off in the sink and use it again. I do bleach my sink after, but that is just because it would really bother me if I just walked away. The instructions say that you can use it for 12 hours at a time. I recommend that you follow this guideline, because there is still a risk of TSS (toxic shock syndrome), which we are warned about in every box of tampons, so it's not really a surprise. It is very rare, but If you haven't heard of it, Google and learn about it, so you can protect yourself and stay on top of your health. Storage is so simple... You just clean off the silicone cup, which is medical grade silicone, and you store it in the handy case it comes. When it's dry, I put it back in the case with a couple of gloves, so it's ready if I need to bring it with me anywhere. It's inconspicuous and easy to travel with. The snap on the case is substantial, and it holds really well. Overall, the case fits in the palm of my hand. See pic. I thought about getting period panties as back up, but right now, all I am using is this cup. And I love it. It genuinely makes my life so much easier. Menstrual cups have changed my life in ways I did not expect. The reasons include, decreaded perioy pain, reusability, easy to insert and remove, no waste whatsoever (except the glove, but that's a personal choice), inconspicuous storage case for portability and travel, ready to clean. I can't even tell I am using it! I recommend this product to a any person who experiences a period. Once you get used to process, you will be so much happier for it. As a matter of fact, it's so invisably felt, that you might need to set alarms for every 12 hours, as a reminder to empty and clean it! I will prob get a second one to keep in my purse all the time. You will not regret this purchase and you'll be prepared the next time Aunt Flo comes to town, with all your cousins in tow! 😉

I really like this menstrual cup. The storage case is great for traveling or keeping it stored in a clean and hygienic way. The material feels soft and comfortable, and it does not change color with use, which I really appreciate. It’s also very easy to clean. The base is slightly shorter than other cups I’ve tried, and I personally love that because it’s not visible and you don’t feel it at all while wearing it. Overall, a very comfortable and practical product. Highly recommended!

So it’s only been 24 hours since I started using this, but here’s how it went: I got the small- I’m 28 and have not had kids. When I got it, it ended up being towards the end of my period, so a light flow. I was more comfortable starting then anyway, I was less concerned about leaking and much of a mess. I folded it and used according to the diagrams and didn’t have any trouble. Compared to inserting a tampon with an applicator, it does feel like you’re going deeper. There won’t be anything external (like a string with a tampon). It also seemed like it didn’t “pop” open all the way from being folded. I read some reviews that said that’s okay, so I went with it. Again, I had very light flow and wasn’t overly concerned. In the end there wasn’t any leaking. I wore it for several hours and had no issues. I was nervous about suction and taking it out, but didn’t have issues there. I specifically chose this one because of the ball at the end, it really does make it easier to take out I think. There was a little bit of suction (and it did make a noise lol). With inserting and removing, I did have one foot on the edge of the tub, which seemed to give me the angle I needed. I put it back in to wear overnight. In the middle of the night, I woke up and I noticed some very mild cramping/pressure where it was placed. It could definitely have been that I didn’t have it exactly right, or from using tampons previously. It wasn’t anything that would stop my normal activities or prevent me from using it again. Overall, I’m pretty happy with how it’s going! The price was amazing compared to others too.

This is a thick, relatively stiff cup. It’s good quality and doesn’t seem to be discoloring as fast as the previous cup I had. It opens easily when inserted and is comfortable. I do recommend it and will purchase again as long as this model is still available in a couple years when I need a new one. But I don’t recommend this cup for a beginner since the thickness and stiffness of the silicone means insertion is not as easy as it would be with a thinner cup. Personally I prefer a stiffer cup and find it faster and easier to use now that I’m experienced with insertion, but I don’t think I would have liked this cup if I bought it when I was new to cups. A beginner should probably try something softer and then get this as a second cup later.

I use this literally every month. I was skeptical about using cups at first, but now I don't like using anything else. I have had a little bit of staining on the little nub, but no where else. I love that it comes with a case to put it in as well. It is very easy to sanitize and cleans out nicely between uses with just water. The size is more comparable to a "medium" in other brands, but still fit great. If you're looking to get away from pads and tampons, do it and you won't regret it!

Comfortable and easy to use. Doesn’t leak.

I really wanted to switch to a more sustainable option, so I gave the Menstrual Cup a try. I used it for an entire cycle, even though I didn’t love it at first, because I wanted to give it a fair chance. Unfortunately, the material felt too firm for me, which made it uncomfortable to wear for long periods. I appreciate that it’s eco-friendly and comes with a storage box, but comfort is a big factor and this just didn’t work for my body. I know menstrual cups can be life-changing for some, and I wish this one had worked for me. If you’re used to firmer cups or don’t mind a bit of rigidity, it might be worth trying. But for those with sensitivity or who are new to cups, this might not be the best fit.

I am a very experienced cup user whose favorite brand got discontinued so I thought I'd give this a try (dog chewed up the old one when my back was turned, you know how it is). I was hopeful about this one but OH WOW DOES IT HURT. This silicone is rock hard which makes it easy to insert but has managed to make my cramps AND digestive issues worse. I can literally feel it no matter how much adjusting I do. Back to the drawing board.

This is the first menstrual cup I ever used. At first, it was really good, couldn't feel it all. Then I realized my cramps were getting much worse- extending to the last day of my period, which never happens to me. I realized the material of the cup is too stiff for my body, as my cramps immediately went away when I took it out. Other than that, it worked really well- a bit of learning curve, but so much cleaner feeling in the long run. I will try another cup and see if it works for me, but I'm sure this one will work for many :)

Its not meant for heavier days as i had spotting, but its good for lighter days. Bit stiff but once in feel comfortable.

As a me trust cup user 7 years ago I bought this by emergency but i was surprised how soft the material was, it’s stuff but that helps for the cup to open inside, i can use it all day long without worrying!

Good product

The cup is very soft .. when it does go in its amazing hardly feel it. However that's the down fall.. I put it inand its so hard for it to suction and open.. I have to do squats and push in and out lol..even putting my fingers up and trying to open it up doesnt work. I have bought the green applicator with it and it works to put it in but again it does not want to open up inside.. however again when it does work its amazing .. 🤷‍♀️ I wish I didnt waste my money though. I keep giving up and just throwing in a tampon
