leakage during urination

Hi, I am using a menstrual cup for the first time and have started with an Mcup - it is a fairly low-budget cup from Mexico (as that´s where I am right now). I chose the small size, which still has a diameter of 4.5 cm as I have a fairly light flow, although I am 47 years old and have used (small-size) tampons all my menstruating life (but have

tbh i don't agree... (and i wonder if you're the person behind super jennie cup?) i was referring specifically to the op's situation, with limited access to cups.
in general i think getting a cheap cup to try out is a valid strategy as long as you're aware that it's unlikely to last a few years, and as long as you're very attentive to your body and remove the cup if there's any itching/burning.
for example technically the lunette cups aren't regulated by any finnish agency, simply because it's not considered a medical product. of course i trust them anyway, but official approval is overrated, especially if you look at the iffy things the FDA has approved.

and i was specifically referring to *cheap* chinese cups. my mum uses a green donna, which is/was a brazilian brand manufactured in china. it was before the wave of super-cheap cups, the price is comparable to other affordable cups like the yuuki or cuplee. she's used it for about 5 years already. not everything made in china is automatically bad.

also alibaba is a site like ebay, there are various manufacturers selling cheap cups there. not just one.

Please don't connect my name Jennifer to Super Jennie. I have no relationship with them. I just love menstral cup. My collection of cups from Diva, Lunette, Sckoon etc. Super Jennie is just one of my new collection which is soft and work well to me. I personal have horrible experience with China made cup before - I received the product which was difference than what they describe from the product info. When email them for refund with no answer, they don't stand for their products. Maybe I was in bad luck for a bad seller. You are right, I think they just get the cups from Alibaba and use their own name and resell to consumer. I don't think they aware what materials the manufacturer is using and/or what production process is happening there since no regulation to follow.
