I am using the cup for the first time. No leakage, it was uncomfortable for a little while, then I cut most of the tail off, now I don’t feel it at all! I have emptied it twice, gross but neat in a weird way. Ew.
I practiced a few times before my period, never thought it was opening properly. It must be opening though, as I am not leaking and even the outside of the cup doesn’t seem to be messy.
I am 46, had one C-section 24 years ago and I have to wear the smaller size. I bought and tried both. So don’t let anyone tell you that just because your older, you will need the larger one. Not true.
Im pickled tink that this is working. Cool! No more tampons for me!!!
I am using the Diva Cup since several years. Just bought a new one. To me it is important that the menstrual cup is made from medicin silicon. Medicin silicon is easy to clean, i do that with toothpast and hot water. From time to time i cook it in hot water. So it is free from bacteria and clean. It saves a lot of money, because pads and tampons are expensive in germany. If you like to do sports (watersports) and if you like to wear modern fashion. Or if you be at areas where no tampons and pads get to buy, than a menstrual cup is the right thing. //// Kati
Hi Melisa, the PrincessD Menstrual Cup is on a special at R250,00 excluding delivery!
I love my pink cup. It was easy to insert as well as to remove. It is also comfortable wearing it. But by the end of the day I was very sore. So I decided to revert to the old ways for the night, and I already feel better. Am I doing something wrong?
Please post your question here – https://menstrualcupreviews.net/questions/
Hi. I’m 21 years old. I bought a cup recently size M (the sizes in my country are S,M and L) the M being for people between 15 and 30. I have tried to get it in and been unsuccessful. I tried when I wasn’t on my period a few times and twice during the start of mine. It’s a Silky Cup made of silicone and it’s really firm. My problem is, on more than one of my dry trials, I managed to get the cup in by putting the rim first and shoving the part of the bulb I could still see. It went in relatively easy after a couple tries but never once opened out. I have no idea how to get it to open out. My vaginal opening/canal are tight and not used to this. I have never used tampons or masturbated internally (sorry for TMI) so I am a little scared about putting a finger up there to check for my cervix. As far as I know it’s not low though . I can see that the stem is long but I want to get comfortable putting it in before I snip off the extra stem.
Hi, it needs a bit practice. Dont be afraid, because its your own finger you put inside of your body 🙂 It´s for your own hygienic and than its ok.

As a transguy who hasn’t started hormone therapy this thing is a blessing. Personally, I purchased the Blossom cup back in December and it’s worked amazing since the first day. The insertion process is a bit tricky the first time but once you get the hang of it It’s great. Unlike tampons, the cup isn’t uncomfortable to remove. I used to dread taking tampons out and the thought gave me anxiety but now I can just do my thing and not worry about noisy wrappers. Fair warning, cups do sort of suction up where they are to form a seal so when you pull it out there may be an interesting unsunction noise, so keep that in mind if you’re in public. I wouldn’t worry about the cup going too far up because in my experience it’s very easy to just push out with your muscles down there and grab hold of the end. I have an extrememly heavy flow and have to empty it about four times a day (one when I wake up, one around lunch, one after dinner, and one before bed) The really great thing about it is that even on light days or days where you’re unsure, it doesn’t hurt to insert the cup. With tampons if your flow isn’t heavy enough it can really hurt to push those suckers in and pull them out but with this it really doesn’t matter. It’s very easy to clean and extremely reliable I’d say. In respect to me being a transman periods will never be something that I enjoy but I feel as if the cup makes periods feel more like a condition to me, much more medical. Although periods still make me dysphoric this nifty invention at least makes me feel a little better about the process, like it’s something I’ll get rid of one day (which it is.) Long story short, if you’re thinking about getting a menstrual cup DO IT. (regardless of gender)
I agree that cups make my periods so much more…enjoyable? Maybe I should say they make my periods much more tolerable 🙂 I’m spreading the word to all of my tampon-using friends because the cups changed my menstrual cycle for the better.
Good luck with the hormone therapy when you decide to start!
My first menstrual cup that I used was the Intimina Luna compact. I loved it so much! I usually have a very heavy flow so I had to dump it like every 4 hours during my heavy days but they worked great and I love having a little compact to store it in! Problem was when I was on one of my heavy days, the tip actually broke off when I tried to take it out and it was a pain trying to get this broken funnel out of me. It was a horrible timing as this happened during the start of my shift at work and the most critical tampon run I’ve ever had to do (since I worked in an ambulance at midnight). Turns out I boiled the cup too often ( you usually disinfect with mild soap and boil the cup once in a while) to which I boiled every month and apparently that’s too often… the cup lasted for me for about 4-5 months. I do recommend the compact Intimina though. I don’t regret my purchase!
Eeeek! That’s never an enjoyable situation. Maybe you were boiling the cup for too long? I actually boil my cups every month for about 5 minutes a couple of days before my period starts so that they are sanitized. I don’t like using sterilizing tablets or soaking them in peroxide mixtures. I do use antibacterial soap or wipes when cleaning the cup in-between insertions.
I think so. I would boil it until I was satisfied of knowing every possible bacterium was dead. I also think my boiling water was too scalding hot which probably degraded the medical grade silicon..
Sterilizing tablets sounds terrifying… A mild soap goes a long way. 🙂
I purchased a femmycycle this time around and hopefully it is good!
I started using the Softcup three months ago and I love this product. It was easy for me to put in and I couldn’t feel it during the day. I occasionally experience leaking, but that’s usually based on flow levels. I have not used it during intercourse, but I know that it is capable of being used. I will continue using this product; they also save me money comparatively to buying tampons (I would go through so many due to flow, discomfort, etc.)
Hi there.
I have never used cups as yet but have just purchased- waiting for it to be delivered…
Anyone have any info on it… Well Done soft silicone menstrual cup
I don’t want to invest too much money on a cup until I know what they are like… It looks like it replicates the Moon cup which is why I chose it because from what I have seen it seems to be a popular choice.
Any info for a beginner will be greatly appreciated.

All you need for any info, Bree, from the UK specializes in menstrual cups on youtube. I highly recommend watching some of her videos first. Especially the once on how to insert and how to take out. Do not just pull out, you will rip yourself open as I did. I just got my first one 3 months ago. Her videos helped me a lot. I practiced in the shower a few times and now I got it down this month, with no more issues 🙂 If you have given birth, get the bigger size. I am 40, but never gave birth. Tried the bigger size first and it wasn’t for me. So I use the smaller size. Hope this helps.
