(TMI) People who use menstrual cups:

Liz • Mon, Sep 01

I want to try them, but I am worried about 1) blood sloshing back up in me if I lay down or am active and it creating an infection and 2) dumping the blood out when it's full... Like is it really gross or do you get used to it?

You just get used to it. There is a new menstrual cup called the femmycycle that prevents any flow from sloshing back up if you're really concerned about it. Cups are also useful in knowing exactly how light or heavy your flow is. As long as you're careful removing it there's little to no mess.

I actually feel cleaner when I use a menstrual cup than using pads and more comfortable than when I use tampons. It is gross at first, but it's no worse than using a tampon.

A normal cup just sits below your cervix to collect the fluid instead of absorbing it.

It has this special fold down rim that only empties when you pull it out. Hard to explain haha
