Hello, I'm new here! It's my second cycle with my cup (a Lena in Small) and it has been a breeze ( Read more... )

Hello!! I've been using the menstrual cup for 3 cycles now and I love it ( Read more... )

So I'm almost 100% certain I have my first ever yeast infection. I started my period on the 4th but noticed itchiness a day or two before that. (No other symptoms.) On the night of the 3rd, I was inserting my cup early since I never know exactly when my period's going to show up on the day it's scheduled for. I had to take it out and reinsert for ( Read more... )

Hi everyone, I've been using a Fleurcup for a few months now and never had any issues with smell, but have also never drunk a lot of alcohol with it in. Last night I had had a lot, around 600ml of vodka, and I slept with my cup in. I took it out in the morning, so it would have been in about 15hours or so. There was a rancid smell to it, which I ( Read more... )

Hello ( Read more... )

I had a great 10 months or so with my cup, but started having problems just after I got my IUD in last winter. I ended up with awful cases of recurring BV and UTIs that I didn't fully kick until June. I kept thinking I was ok, I'd start using the cup again, and then my soreness and itchiness would come back and I'd stop using it because it hurt too ( Read more... )

So yeah, I know that this has been posted on before, but I'd rather get just a little extra information before I decide. I burned my Diva Cup just a tiny bit (as in really tiny). The water ran out when I boiled it because I got on the computer (Yes, dumb thing to do, I know...). My mom thankfully rescued it before it actually caught flame, but ( Read more... )

Hey all,

I know I told the story at VP, and it was years ago, but I'm not sure if anyone has ever had this experience before.

Proviso -- I didn't do this on purpose, I don't recommend it AND I am 110% fine afterwards.

(1) How do I remove the cup without spilling its contents? I would like to see how much blood I'm really losing. When I pinch/C-fold it to remove, I pinch out a lot of the blood that was inside, which spills into the toilet. I'd prefer to take it out full so I can see exactly how full it is. Based on how much blood is in the toilet, and how much is ( Read more... )

I've been using menstrual cups for almost 2 and 1/2 years. I've owned a LadyCup for about a year and a half now. About a year ago while I was on a bus trip to Illinois and Missouri, I noticed my cup smelling absolutely foul. It was so rancid, I can't even begin to describe it. I'm guessing it's because I wasn't able to rinse it most of the trip ( Read more... )
