I love this cup
This is my first time trying out a menstrual cup and I really love it. (I've included a couple things that I have found work for me at the end of the review.)I wasn't sure which one to buy, so I took an online quiz and read hundreds of reviews and advice before settling on the Lena Sensitive Small. While I realize not every cup work for every person, I got really lucky and this one works really well for me.From the very start, I liked it. The packaging was cute and, even though it has no bearing on functionality, it was a nice first impression. The cup is a soft silicone but it's sturdy at the same time; it's a good balance.Since I'd never used a cup before, I was a little nervous about putting it in and having it leak. Like practically everyone else, it took some trial and error, but by the middle of my second cycle, I was able to get it inserted correctly every time. After figuring out what works for me, I can insert it quickly and correctly in about ten seconds or less.As much as I'd like to not have to cut the stem, I think I'm going to have to since the stem can be pretty uncomfortable for me sometimes. The stem is quite long and my cervix is about midway up, so sometimes it sticks out a little and can be irritating. The stem isn't absolutely necessary since you're not supposed to pull it for removal, but it's not a bad thing to have for grabbing the cup. I might try trimming it a little at a time until it's comfortable before just cutting off the whole thing.I love that you can wear this for up to twelve hours, which I've been able to do, especially being able to wear it through the night. It's so wonderful not having to worry about leaks or changing it after only a few hours, though on my heavier days, I've had to change it around the six-hour mark. It's still better than tampons.When inserted properly, I don't feel it (aside from the stem) and I often forget it's there. That's a big bonus. Like some reviews I've read on various sites, you can sometimes tell when it's "full" because you can sort of feel the weight of it, if that makes sense? That can be helpful so it doesn't get too full before you empty it.It can be messy, yes, but that's just the nature of the product. I have not had a problem with it spilling or anything upon removal, even when the cup gets pretty full. I always carry a travel-size pack of baby wipes with me, which has come in handy when I need to empty and re-insert it when I'm not at home. I strongly recommend that little tip as it helps make it less messy.Now that I have found the insertion method that works for me, I no longer worry about leaks, which makes this one of the best purchases I've ever made.While every woman's body is different, I definitely recommend this particular cup as a really great option to try. I'm in my late 30s, never had kids, am barely moderately active, I have a pretty heavy flow, and this works for me, if that helps anyone for reference. I am really happy I tried this and I wish I had tried this years and years ago.Here are some things that work for me:I use the punch down fold, which has been so much better than the C-fold. I insert it most of the way, leaving just the bottom outside before I let it go so it opens. Sometimes it doesn't open immediately, but I just push it up from the bottom, while it's open, into place and it's fine. If it doesn't immediately open, I squeeze the bottom third of the cup and rotate it a little and that will always open it for me. To check to ensure it's open, gently run your finger around the entire cup - you will be able to tell if it isn't open because you it won't be smooth and you will feel where it's folded of pinched together. It needs to be completely open for it to work.As gross as this is, once I get it inserted and it's open, I run my finger around the top to make sure the cup is around my cervix. This part is essential. If it isn't around your cervix to catch everything, you are going to leak. Once I make sure it's around my cervix, I grab the bottom and gently pinch it and give it a light tug to make sure it's secure. Don't pinch too hard or you risk breaking the suction. I've not had the fortune of being able to really feel the suction like some people claim, so as long as it doesn't move when I lightly tug on it, it's fine.Make sure the holes just under the top lip of the cup are clear before inserting to make sure a proper seal can be achieved.When removing it for the first time, don't panic. It's awkward and it can be pretty difficult the first time, but tensing your muscles will make removal that much harder. I have found that what works for me, with practically no mess, is to pinch the bottom of the cup and shimmy it down a little bit to break the seal, then keep slightly wiggling it back and forth until it's mostly outside, then grab the middle of the cup, without squeezing it, and gently and slowly pull it out and a little forward so that you bring it out almost upright. It's prevented any spills or splatter using that method, rather than pulling it downward. Then, dump it, rinse it (if you can) and reinsert it and you're good to go.Also, emptying and reinserting it in the shower is always a good option.

I liked the small better, but this large will be perfect for after I have children!
I first learned about menstrual cups when I saw that the period subscription box I was using offered Softcups. I was intrigued by the concept, so I gave them a try...and I loved them! This led me to look into reusable cups. Softcups are shaped and function very differently than reusable cups, so I did quite a bit of research before settling on Lena cups. The main cup that comes to mind when people mention menstrual cups is the Diva cup; however, I learned that Diva cups are some of the largest menstrual cups available, and that they're not a great fit for everyone. The cup has to be small enough to properly expand and lightly suction to the walls of your vagina. If it's too large, it won't seal and can collapse, which causes leaks and is also uncomfortable. Since I wasn't really sure how to measure myself, I didn't want to risk wasting a good bit of money on a cup that might be too big. So, I spent hours researching for some of the smallest cups I could find. I compared the width of the rim and the length of the body (not including the stem) of so many brands. It was actually a lot harder than I thought it would be since many brands don't list the measurements. It's great that most brands have a large and a small option, but one brand's small can be larger than another brand's large, which is maddening! For example, the small Diva is 43mm wide and 53mm long, while the large Lena cup is smaller at 45mm wide and 50.7mm long. The small Lena is 41mm wide and 46mm long, so it is significantly smaller than the small Diva. I believe the small Lena is a much better size for first-time users, unless you are absolutely certain that your cervix sits high during menstruation and can use a longer cup. Other things to consider when choosing a cup are what it's made of, where it was made, and what safety standards it meets. Lena cups are made of medical grade silicone, are made in the USA, and are FDA-registered, so I was confident that it was safe to use.Now, for what I love about my SMALL Lena cup (details for this large at the bottom, but this list still mostly applies to it):โข No more leaks!!! I've never had a leak during the day or even overnight, and I can actually wear nice underwear with confidence knowing that they won't be ruined. It holds so much more than the tampons I was using. When I first starting using this cup, I emptied it every few hours (like I did with tampons), and it was nowhere close to being full. I can safely go all day without having to empty the cup.โข No more dealing with my period in a public restroom! I only have to empty it when I wake up and right before bed, which is the best thing ever! I can't even express how much I love not having to deal with it during the day. Public bathrooms are already not ideal, so not having to worry about changing a tampon is a huge plus! On heavy days (which are rare), I might have to empty it once during the day, but I literally have never needed to empty it in a public restroom in the 17 months that I've been using this cup...compared to changing tampons every few hours. If I do need to empty it in a public restroom, it's nice that I don't need to carry anything with me, and it's no messier than changing a tampon.โข Better for my vagina! Tampons don't discriminate when they're absorbing, so they can really dry you out (and anyone who has ever pulled out a dry tampon knows how freaking painful that it is!). That messes with pretty much everything up there, especially the good bacteria and your pH level. They also increase your risk of developing toxic shock syndrome (TSS) because they absorb and trap any bad bacteria. Cups don't mess with any of that. Since they don't absorb anything, your vagina remains unchanged, so there's no bounce-back time after your period where it needs to rebuild the supply of good bacteria and get back to a healthy pH level. Your risk of developing TSS is also much, much lower, so menstrual cups are safer to use over longer periods of time.โข Better for the environment and my wallet! I love that there's no trash (wrapper, applicator, the tampon itself) each time I use my cup. When you think about the thousands of tampons you'd use throughout your life, that's a lot of waste that won't end up in a landfill. And for the price of a few boxes of tampons, you'll get years of use out of a cup (as long as you take care of it). I'm saving a ton of money by not buying tampons every month, and I'm reducing the amount of waste I produce, so that's a win-win.I really don't have any negatives for my small cup. It has some minor staining after 17 months of use, which is completely normal and will happen with any cup you buy. I'm sure a dilute hydrogen peroxide soak will make it look brand new again. I recently bought some backup Lena cups, so I've included pictures of the new ones (a small pink compared to this large clear). I was curious to try the large, since the small works so well. It did fully open, but it was harder to remove because there was more suction and it was just a bigger cup to remove. I probably could have worn it with no problems once I got used to it. However, I will continue to use my smalls, and I will just keep the large for after I have children. I also showed what the rim of the large looks like for two different folds (the C/U fold and the origami fold) so you can see approximately what size it'll be for inserting it. Keep in mind there are many different ways to fold a cup, and it's completely up to personal preference.If you've read through this mini-essay of a review, I hope it helped! The condensed version is that I cannot recommend Lena cups enough! They have truly changed everything about my period experience, and I no longer dread when it arrives. Do your research, look up tips, watch YouTube videos, and give them a try!!

The Perfect Cup!
Iโll try to not be too TMI about this, but itโs a menstrual cup so Iโm not sure thatโs even possible.Iโve been using cups for years; my first was a Diva Cup (size 2) about 8 or 9 years ago, after having my first baby. It wasnโt the best fit for me, always felt a bit too wide and too long (even with the stem cut off), and the material was more stiff than I preferred which made insertion and removal a challenge and made it just not that comfortable overall. Although the learning curve was steep I eventually got used to it and preferred it over pads/tampons, and I was hesitant to try anything else so I stuck with it for several years.After my second baby, I decided it was time to replace the Diva Cup, so instead of ordering another one I decided to go with something new. I ordered the Lily Cup Compact, because it was smaller, softer, and I loved the idea of being able to fold it up for storage in that cute little case. The ability to fold ended up being its downfall for me though, because every time I would try to remove it, it would start to collapse and make a huge mess. Size-wise it was good though, so I decided to look for something else that was closer to the size and softness of that cup.After a good amount of research, I came upon the Lena Sensitive. I was hesitant, because it says itโs a beginner cup, and many cups have larger sizes for women who have had babies (Iโve had 3 vaginal births). But, it sounded similar in size to the Lily Compact (except more bulb shaped so it holds more- bonus!), and I knew I wanted something smaller, softer and more flexible than the Diva Cup, so I decided to go for it anyway.Let me tell you, I think Iโve found my perfect cup! Itโs flexible, making it much more comfortable for me than the Diva Cup was, but it has enough bounce-back to pop open just fine when inserting. My cervix sits very low during my period, so I did trim most of the stem off, but the smaller size of the cup is perfect in that regard. The stem is extremely soft and flexible, so the little bit that I left does not irritate me. With my Diva Cup, which is wider, I always felt a pressure on my bladder/bowels (it was like a constant low-key feeling that I needed to use the bathroom). I donโt have that issue at all with the Lena Sensitive. The fact that Iโve had 3 babies does not seem to cause any issue with the cup staying in place. The smaller size does mean that it holds a bit less, so on my heaviest day Iโll need to empty it every 5-6 hours. The first day that I used it (heaviest flow), we went to a baseball game and I needed to empty it while we were there. The reviewer who said to use baby wipes if you need to empty your cup in a public restroom was spot-on! Remove cup, dump in toilet, wipe cup with a baby wipe, reinsert, put baby wipe in the little tampon garbage, wipe hands with another baby wipe. It took about 30 seconds so very comparable to changing a tampon.Overall, the Lena Sensitive has addressed all of the issues I had with previous cups, and I really think itโs the perfect cup for my needs.

Overall a good cup, LONG REVIEW with tips from a newbie
My overall condensed opinion of this cup is that, for my first, it's a very good cup. It's soft which was good for my sensitive bladder/urethra, however the shape of it still did effect going to the bathroom and made fully emptying my bladder difficult. It's not my "Goldilocks" cup, but it's still very good and I would recommend it.This was my first period using a cup, and it is a tricky little beast to fiddle with. I did get the hang of it by the end, and I learned a lot along the way about this cup and myself. So I thought I'd write these things out and hopefully it helps other people. To start, my personal info: I have a medium height cervix, I'm on hormonal birth control in large part due to atrocious menstrual cramps, have a sensitive bladder/urethra and have had several UTI's, and have never used a cup before Lena. Due to my birth control, my periods are much lighter although they can be a little more variable still.My first month with the Lena, I learned a lot about my cup and my body. It was quite the experience! I tried to educate myself as much as possible and I'm very glad I did because I ended up having a few times where I realized the cup had collapsed while I was inserting it and wouldn't open back up. This was one of the biggest challenges I had with the Lena Sensitive. It never hurt my bladder or urethra though which made the softness worth it. I didn't want to end up with a UTI because I couldn't pee! I started with the punchdown fold which worked pretty well, but I ended up finding the triangle fold worked best for me, and I'll going into why in a second.My second biggest hurdle was leaking. My first night with the Lena was murder, it wasn't in quite right and I could feel it like crazy. When I woke up, it leaked like crazy, it might as well have been a crime scene in that bathroom. So I realized I hadn't positioned it properly and actually checked where my cervix was. After that, absolutely no leaks the rest of the day or next night, and the only times I had issues was when I didn't feel where my cervix was to aim properly. Generally, by the end of my period I figured out more or less where it tends to sit, but it helped a lot to feel it all out first. Enter the triangle fold. I was using the punchdown, however I inserted it with the folded side facing up. Although the cup was soft enough that popping open didn't hurt, it did tend to point the wrong way and required a lot of adjusting (and accidentally collapsing the cup in doing so) to get it in the right place. With the triangle fold, I still had the small insertion point but it helped me angle the correct way and wouldn't pop open by accident. What also helped was letting the cup open sooner, just passed the pelvic bone, and then gently nudging it further up into place. It was much easier to do this when I wasn't changing it's direction but just inching it further.Now one genuine issue that's not user error is how it slows emptying my bladder. That's a true problem I've had here, it doesn't hurt or feel like extreme pressure, but the wide bottom and the way I have to angle it certainly doesn't lead to an easy potty experience. It was almost a negligible difference, but once I would remove my cup, it would become obvious how much was still trapped and couldn't squeak by the cup. Unfortunate, but I wouldn't discourage anyone from this cup because of it since everyone is shaped different and many would likely not experience this issue. Besides, even if anyone did I would say it was much better than a firm cup, I'm sure I would have returned it midway through my period if I had the regular Lena because it would have hurt. As a side note, the stem is just a notch or two too long and does stick out a little bit. It's not painful, but I have noticed it a lot and I know I need to trim it.Finally, I would say the holes on this cup are a little annoying but that's probably most of them. The holes on this slat inward slightly, which would be nice, but when they get clogged they're a little hard to completely clean out. It's a very minor inconvenience but I thought I would mention it because I did have a few suction issues due to the holes clogging and then the cup wouldn't cooperate.My tips from very limited experience would be if you're leaking, try feeling for your cervix RIGHT BEFORE you insert your cup. Each time, every time, at least until you get the hang of it. If you can't get your cup to go the way you want, try either a different fold or inserting it a different way (pointing the fold the opposite direction for example) and see if that helps. If your cup doesn't want to open up or is collapsing when you try to adjust it, try letting it open up a little sooner, be very aware of your urethra as you don't wanna hurt yourself, but let it open just inside the pelvic bone and then pop that bad boy open and see if that helps. Be very gentle when you check to make sure it's open. If it feels like you're leaking, make sure it's not just the stem you're feeling first, because I had that multiple times.I would still recommend this cup, and I'm going to keep it for sure, however I will be trying a more tapered cup to see if that relieves the urethra pressure and allows me to truly not feel my cup.

Recommend to ALL first time cup users! You won't be let down by Lena!
I'm 32 yrs old, have three children (vaginal births), a high and tilted cervix, and heavy periods due to my IUD (Paraguard). I Tried the regular Lena cup first and there was so much that I loved about the cup. It didn't leak, sealed well, I really liked the bell shape, but it put a lot of pressure on my bladder and urethra. I was hesitant to purchase the Lena sensitive because I figured it is the same shape, it may do the same thing. Well, it doesn't. The Lena Sensitive solved the problem with the pressure I was feeling. I cannot feel this cup at all. I love it! I wasn't really used to softer menstrual cups so I had trouble getting it to open the first couple of times but then I tried the labia fold and it pops open every single time. If your having trouble getting this cup to open, I highly recommend either the labia fold or half diamond fold. Those folds haven't failed me yet with this cup and I use this cup very often because I have a heavy and long period due to my IUD (Paraguard). I am so happy I gave the Lena sensitive a shot. I feel like Lena has a cup that works for most women. Lena also has great customer service. When I was having issues with my regular large Lena cup, they sent me a large sensitive to try. They said the shipping would take 2-3 weeks so I just purchased one on Amazon because I didn't want my period to arrive before my new cup did. I now have a back-up cup for my purse. I will never be caught without my Lena Sensitive! I really like this cup for my IUD because I used to use firmer cups and I felt like the suction was just too strong. This cup has great suction, but nothing that I can feel while I am wearing it. It is also very easy to remove the cup. I love Lena and I recommend Lena to all new cup users.

Great for People with Pelvic Floor Issues!
I consider myself somewhat of a cup nerd/ cup expert as Iโve been using cups since I was 13 and now Iโm almost 20. In my opinion, they are the best menstrual product. Unfortunately, Iโve been having severe chronic pelvic pain recently due to problems with a hypertonic pelvic floor, and my previous Goldilocks cup (DivaCup) made my pain worse. I was afraid I wouldnโt be able to use cups anymore... until I found the Put A Cup In It (PACII) quiz! I canโt believe in all my years of using and trying new cups Iโd overlooked this quiz. I seriously recommend that anyone who is in the market for a cup take the quiz whether youโre looking for your first cup, youโre a cup expert looking for something new to try, and especially if you are having issues with the cup(s) youโve been using.The PACII site also has a guide explaining the different firmnesses of cups. The DivaCup is listed as having average firmness, while the normal Lena cup is listed as firm-average and the Lena Sensitive was listed as being soft-average. A firmer cup can put more pressure on the bladder, so if youโre having issues with that Iโd recommend checking out that guide in addition to taking the quiz.One of the cups recommended to me by the quiz was the Lena Sensitive Large. Since it is specifically made for people with bad cramps and pelvic floor issues I decided to try it and Iโm so glad I did!The cup comes in small cardboard box with really nice storage pouch that has a nice pattern on it, which I personally prefer over the pink DivaCup storage bag. The bag isnโt the biggest deal, but I still appreciate it. It also comes with a user guide which is easy to read and understand. What I love about the user guide is that unlike some with other cups, it is inclusive and never mentions โwomenโ as the only ones who menstruate, which I really appreciate as I am non-binary. I checked out Lenaโs website as well and I didnโt see anything about the word โwomenโ being used to describe people who menstruate. Thatโs a huge deal to me and really appreciate it. I hope other brands can learn from this and make the language in their advertising more inclusive and accurate as well.Onto the actual cup itself: It is made of nice high quality silicone (it is the actual Lena brand, this cup is not a fake or knockoff like some cups on Amazon) Insertion was easy and smooth, and it popped open easily. (I was a little worried about that since some softer cups sometimes donโt pop open easily) It usually pops all the way open upon insertion, if it doesnโt open all the way all I had to do was press on the base of the cup to get it to open up completely. The suction isnโt the strongest compared to other cups Iโve used but I didnโt really have issues with leaks so it worked out fine. Removal was also smooth and easy. I simply pinched the cup at the base, and folded it to get it out as I would with any other cup. Like I mentioned before, Iโve been using cups for a long time and Iโve tried a lot of them, so most of them are really easy for me to use, but this cup went in extremely smoothly for me, more so than any other cup Iโve tried, so I think this cup would also be a good choice for a beginner. This cup has a capacity of 30 ml, which is comparable to most other large size cups, and is way more capacity than the average menstruator would need. My flow is pretty light so I canโt fully attest to that, but it probably would be good for someone with a very heavy flow. Best of all, I had no issues with this cup making my pain worse!Overall, Iโd really recommend this cup to someone with pelvic floor issues, or even someone who just has issues with cups irritating their bladder. Iโd still recommend that everyone take the PACII quiz before buying though!

Good, doesn't leak, but difficult to remove--stem broke off
I got this as my first menstrual cup and was really excited to make the switch from tampons. I will say this cup is very easy to fold and insert. The issues come in when it comes to removing the cup. Now, this could be because of my own personal anatomy, but it does not matter how far up or low I place the cup. It will ride up within a matter of seconds. The stem on this cup is nearly impossible to grab and pull the cup out. I keep my nails a little longer so I've found the only way I can get the cup out is to pinch the stem with my nails above one of the ridges on the stem and shimmy it out until I can grab the base and break the seal. I used this cup for two cycles before half of the stem ripped off, as my nails have been digging into the silicone. With only half of the stem remaining and my cup still riding all the way up, it is now nearly impossible to remove this cup! I have tried to grab the ridges on the base of the cup to break the seal and pull it out, but it is always way too slippery to grip properly, so I find that again I am having to use my nails on the stem. I won't be surprised if the rest of the stem comes off in a few more months because of this, so I am ordering another cup with a ring on it instead of a stem. I am disappointed in the design of the stem, as I was really hoping this cup would work better for me.I want to emphasize that this is a very personal issue, as not everyone's cup rides up like this. Thus, if you have used menstrual cups before and know that the cup will sit low and not cause this issue, by all means go for this cup. It is very very comfortable, and I haven't had issues with leaking unless it is due to overflow. If you're a new user of cups, I just wanted to post this as a warning to not make the mistake I made by not considering the stem because if you happen to be like me with crazy hard suction and riding up, the stem will pose an issue. Now that half of the stem has broken off, I have basically wasted my money on this cup, as I won't be using it much longer because it is so difficult to remove.

Almost gave up, but didn't.
My problem: Leaking. And then more leaking over time. Maybe I'm inserting it wrong?Background: I'm 35 y/o. I've had 3 kids...all C-sections. I also had a baby 10 months ago. I'm 5ft. I've been told by 2 OB/GYNs that my uterus is inverted and my cervix is high. Even after having 3 kids, they still have to use a small speculum to do a pelvic exam. With that said....I bought the Lena cup in small since my Dr's have told me I'm small. Now, I'm going to assume you know about inserting the cup and how you need to be totally comfortable touching your girly parts and possibly getting blood on your hands and all that jazz. I've YouTube all the advice and found what works for me. Anyways, I was very frustrated because day 1 and 2 of my periods, I had no leaks. However, day 3, 4, and 5 I had major leaks so I'm assuming it's because I'm inserting it wrong or missing my cervix or maybe my periods are just too heavy for a cup. I thought maybe giving up on the Lena cup and buy another brand, but I really like how Lena's bell shape and that they have a sensitive cup option. So I decided to buy the Large size Lena. Maybe carrying 3 kids does matter regardless what the Dr says. PROBLEM SOLVED! I can't tell you how relieved I feel knowing it was the wrong size.I can go on and on about the reasons to use a menstrual cup, but this is about the product. I like this bell design and I'm sensitive to so many products, but this material works for me. I haven't needed to buy another brand. It's finding the size that fits was my problem. It's comfortable, I don't feel it there, it doesn't smell, and best of all...no leaks. The one thing worth mentioning about cups...YOU GET TO CHANGE THIS EVERY 10-12 HOURS! As a busy mom of 3 boys, i can't run to the bathroom every 3 hours or if I feel a rush of blood leaking through my supermax tampon. It's worth trying out the product. I had 2 or 3 moments of weakness where I wanted to give up, but I kept trying and it's worth it. YouTube advice, heck, ask me. It's worth a shot. Us women are obligated to 35 years of monthly inconvenience, why not try a couple of months using a cup. It might make a huge difference in your life. Thanks for reading. I also didn't get anything for making a review.

The sweet spot
The best menstrual cup ever! I have both M and L sizes, and they work perfectly on different days of my period (by the way, I have never given birth, and I'm 37). They open easily, and you can't feel it at all. I had a disappointing experience with a different brand - there were leaks and failures to open because the silicone was too soft. With Lena, I don't have such troubles at all, even though I have a sensitive bladder. Love it!

DON'T JUDGE UNTIL YOU TRY IT!!!
I must admit that when my friend told me about these cups I was very sceptical at first. I haven't had any kids and I was usually a pad and tampon user so when my friend described the cups to me it sounded painful, odd and gross so I didn't buy into it at first. That is until I read similar reviews online about it saying that this was the best purchase that they had ever done. They also have other massive benefits compared to what I was using at the time such as; they are much better for the environment and your body and they save you a chunk of money as you can keep them for 10 years and don't have to keep on buying new ones after a few months. So after reading everything I had a change in heart and thought I would give it a go and WOW! Thank god I did.Yes the first try was very odd and at some point difficult/uncomfortable because it's a new experience and you are trying to adapt to it. You do have to find 'the right fold' for you - the box does come with it's own leaflet of diagrams but I actually found mine by having a look at some different ones on YouTube tutorial videos and trying them all out until one suited me. Yes sometimes leakage would happen which is to be expected - I made the smart decision to wear a pad until I did feel comfortable with how it was doing and I got it right, which I definitely I would advise first time users to do but once I got the hang of it I was very impressed with how it was doing and now no leakages happen- I have no worries with using it whilst going to the gym and doing all of my regular workouts and swimming. It is easy to clean and doesn't smell like certain tampons and pads do after a few hours and it comes in it's own little bag so you don't have to stuff loads of tampons or pads into your bag - especially on if you are going on holiday or whilst you're at work.However, it was removing part that concerned me deeply after hearing certain horror stories and reviews online - my advice, don't listen to them because that's them and not your body and it's all about practice. Yes at first scrambling around can feel uncomfortable and removing it feels horrible and at one point I thought 'that's it I'm going to A and E with the most embarrassing thing stuck' but I just took the advice of others online by relaxing, not forcing it and doing it my own way. Removing it still now and then can still feel like a struggle but it's bound to as it takes time getting used to it and I'm ok with knowing that as i just think of the benefits it has done for me.I have now turned into that friend who is recommending it to friends and family but I am glad that I changed my mind and made the switch as it's made life so much easier!!!!

Comfortable, flexible, and soft - very effective
I used a mooncup for possibly 20 years but was finding it uncomfortable, sort of abrasive almost, especially the 'tail' and decided to try a different one. ChatGPT recommended this one as being softer and more flexible whilst still forming a good seal. I have been absolutely delighted. It is immensely comfortable and effective.

A cup, advice and great customer service all in one
Lena are amazing!!!This was my first cup and I struggled with getting it to pop open. I contacted them and they sent me out another cup free of charge. The new cup pops easily and I had no issues using it on holiday. Customer service is second to none

Comfortable but the fit was not quite right for me
This is a comfortable, easy to use cup, but didn't work for me because it didn't fit quite right, so leaked a little. This isn't a criticism; as something or a menstral cup veteran, finding the right fit is a bit of a trial and error thing. I bought the larger size as I have had two children, but I wonder whether my regular kegels and pelvic floor exercises made this cup just a bit too big to be effective.
