AvaLoona Menstrual Cup Made of Medical Silicone - Including Bag (Small, White)

Great idea but o would have probably gone for a more expensive brand. I had trouble getting it inserted correctly and found it hard to remove with longer nails. Not sure if a more expensive one would be better but i think if i could go back in time i would buy a more expensive cup.

So I finally decided going more green about my period and got this cup. I really can't sleep calmly these days, and tampons did not help me anymore, actually I started feeling really bad because of them. This little thing is now saving my life. It's been two cycles since I've bought it. Yes, it happens to be problematic to put it in, and sometimes takes more than one or two attempts until you get it comfortable. Once you do, you don't feel it. I don't know about other cups, but this one leaks for me sometimes. I'm still using small singles. Maybe I'm not aware how to use it the best way and haven't watched youtube tutorials, ha. However I wouldn't go back to pads! Reaally worth every penny and I'm very glad I finally bought it 👌

does the job. has VERY LITTLE grip on the bottom so can be difficult to remove if your cup rides high. for me its okay. no leaks which is a great bonus!

My first experience of a menstrual cup. Chose this one because it wasn't too expensive and some proceeds go to charity. Gave it a practice go while not on my period and struggled. Folded it in half and it was still too big, couldn't get it in. Then I tried the push down method which worked and I slid it inside me.The problems came when it was time to remove it, it seemed to be really high up inside me and I couldn't reach the stem. After much panicking I squatted and pushed until I could reach it then pulled it out.For some reason I had this problem a few times, but it's gotten easier and I no longer struggle to get it out. Now I can easily just yank it out. The only thing with this is that it doesn't seem to suction in place like I've heard cups are meant to. I'm not sure it's even fully opening up inside me. When I have a feel it still seems folded or squished together so that was worry. Apparently this is due to being a softer cup, these are more comfortable than the more stiff ones but your pelvic floor muscles can prevent them from fully opening up.However it's been working fine. Only been using these while on my period and it's been great. No leaks whatsoever and I leave them in all day/night. Not quite sure how it's working despite all that but it is.I found that the best insertion methods are the push down and the 7 or L fold.Emptying and cleaning was a bit yucky at first but you get used to it.I would thoroughly recommend

I think I may need more practice but I had a really bad experience with this...Love the idea though

I like it! It is easy to use although it was a bit difficult to take it out a few times. I am giving 4 stars as it is not 100% reliable, I had to use small pads a bit a few times. If fitted perfectly it should be 100% reliable, but it is hard to say if it is fitted perfectly or no. I loved the packaging and instruction though. Material seem very good as well.

I have to five this product five stars! I have not bought or used any of the other, more expensive leading brands, but from what I can see on the pictures, you're getting just as good quality from this item as the others that are worth twice as much.In comparison to tampons, I'd say the breaking in process was fairly similar. It does take one or two periods to really adjust fully, and I did have the cut off the end bit with scissors as I felt a little prod when I sat down. Now I'm used to the product, I find it very easy to use and it gives me great piece of mind. I absolutely love that I don't have to worry about changing half way through my working day, as getting to the bathroom in my job is not always easy and before I used to worry a lot about leaking before I made it. With the cup I can feel rest assured that, even on my heaviest day, I know I can last until I get home before having to sort myself out. On top of it all, I've already made my money back from having to buy tampons and I'm only a few months in. And this thing could last years!

Very pleased with this product. My first 2 days are really heavy and I'm usually up 3/4 times in the night. I expected the same with this, but I did not have to get up until morning! Took a couple of goes to fit it correctly. I find popping it in quite far then pulling it down a little unfolds it well. Bit disgusting emptying it but also strangely intriguing to see just what the body produces, even so, I do find that I'm a bit ewweee about the actual emptying and cleaning of it but it's well worth it. I've had no leaks at all. Soooooooo much better than having all the sanitary products and having to dispose of wrappers etc, and the dreaded sani bins in public toilets. (Always have baby wipes in my bag now for quick cleaning purposes when out and about)
