Has anyone used a menstrual cup?

Question

I've been researching extensively about menstrual cups and I really want to try one! I just have a few concerns. I'm regularly intimate, so I no longer have a hymen intact, but I've never had children. (I hope this helps with sizing.) Can you guys give me your personal experiences? Does it hurt? Is it difficult to put in/remove? Which brand/size do you recommend? Thank you in advance! :)

Answer

Diva cup!!! It's way more comfortable than pads and tampons! I use reusable panty liners w/ it because I have a heavy flow I would recommend the same if ur just starting until u get the hang of things!

Answer

I like them but they are extremely messy! If you have a weak stomach or  seeing a cup filled with your menstrual blood makes you cringe i'd avoid. I must say tho that it felt good not having to change your self for 12 hours.

Answer

How far do you insert the cup? I just got mine.

Answer

I started using a menstrual cup 2007 and I honestly wish I would have known about them sooner. I had to use tampons once because I forgot to bring the cup, and it was awful. Started with a Diva Cup.

Answer

Do you know if there's any risk of TSS with it???

Answer

I Also use Lunette (the smaller size) and loooooove it. I had to trim the tail off it to get a comfortable fit but it's still super comfy and easy. Now I can even get it out without making a mess, lol

Answer

LOVE my Diva cup!! It never hurt to put it in or take it out it was just a little strange feeling at first! It didn't take me long to get used to it though! The first two days of my period using it were a little rocky but after that it was pretty smooth sailing! Like I said it took a while to get used to putting it in and removing it but you just have to find the right inserting fold for you and that makes a huge difference! I would recommend size 1 because size 2 is for women who have had a child! I can't really recommend any other brand because I haven't tried any! I love my diva cup, it's so much more comfortable, and I will never go back to pads or tampons!

Answer

I have the mooncup and love it! I can't feel it at all when it's in and have practically no cramps when using it. If you end up getting any menstrual cup make sure to look up many different folding techniques and experiment until you find one that works best for you. There are a lot of YouTube videos on folding techniques :)
