Flex Cup Starter Kit (Slim Fit - Size 01) | Reusable Menstrual Cup + 2 Free Menstrual Discs | Pull-Tab for Easy Removal | Capacity of 2 Super Tampons

Using a menstrual cup definitely takes some getting used to—you have to be open to understanding your body and prepared for things to get a little messy the first few times. But by the third month, I truly got the hang of it and now I wouldn’t go back. It’s comfortable, reliable, and has saved me so much money. Plus, it feels good to make a choice that’s better for the environment.

I ordered this cup after doing some research and I am more than happy with the results thus far. I have only used it for a little less than 24 hours though, so my feelings may change but as of now I am thrilled!I have heavy periods, would use 4-6 super tampons in a 12 hour period, and don’t get me started about having to change tampons when you urinate because the string would soak up urine…with this cup, I don’t have to worry about that!I feel my hygiene during my cycle has improved with this. I’m experiencing less painful cramping and love the idea of not using tampons with toxins and carcinogens, and creating less waste!After my cycle, depending on how the rest of it goes, I may order a couple more!I wore it over night for my first try, and no leaking! I would typically wear a super plus tampon, and 2 pads to bed and still bleed through, but this morning - no bleeding through!Absolutely happy with this purchase.Edit: soon after I posted this review, I had bled through. Granted I was using this for the first time on a heavy day. I ended up having to empty the cup twice within a matter of 12 hours. I bled through my pants, at work :( I tried wearing the cup that night as my flow had lightened but I felt it was uncomfortable, or could have been just knowing I had it inserted. I did buy the smaller cup as it was my first time trying one of them, could have also contributed to the bleed through, etc. I did have a good first experience with it, I will try it again for my next cycle, but will definitely be wearing reusable period underwear “just in case.” I will update my review after next cycle to see if I have better luck with it.

This is the only cup you should consider. God bless the people who designed the ring at the end and the suction release.I have literally spent 5+ minutes before trying to fish other "traditional" cups out. So buy this one so you can actually take it out of you without having a meltdown.

Okay, i’m not someone who writes reviews, but I would have loved someone to detail a few things I just had to figure out on my own. First, i tried the regular period cup that doesn't really have anything to hang onto and it was damn near impossible for me to remove, scaring me enough to avoid using one for 3 years. Second, i HATE tampons in the pool, i find that they absorb water and then leak into my clothes. So I was really trying to find an alternative for that and in general if I liked it. This product is awesome, the pull tab is a must. I gave it 4 stars only because insertion can be a bit tricky just because the cup obviously doesn't want to be folded which when in, is a good thing. Also its a learning curve in regards to how much you need ti change it depending on the stage of your period. Some people say they can change these in public, I COULD NEVER. So if your having a heavy day and wont be home for an extended period, I would say maybe go your traditional route.

Stop hesitating and make the switch! Not only is it much better for your body than tampons, but it also has so many other pros! I overall feel better on my periods comparing them to tampons. It seems as though I don’t have to have the cup in as many days as I would have to have tampons in. I don’t know if this happens for everyone but it does for me. You really can go ALL day with it in before you dump it. You CANT feel it when you have it in correctly. I admit, I was totally nervous and worried the whole time I had it in the first time I used it, but YOU WILL figure it out in no time. There are so many informational videos and diagrams/instructions that you will quickly figure out which fold and stance method works for your body. When it’s in correctly, there will be NO LEAKS. I’ve done intense workouts with it in and still had no leaks! I’ll never go back. Flex cup until menopause for me haha
