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 ( Read more... )

1st: You all rock. You gave me confidence to learn about my body & make the leap to menstrual cups. My sincere gratitude to this support group ( Read more... )

Hello again, everyone! So I've been using a Diva (size 2) for close to a year now. For several months, I've been using it pretty much exclusively turned inside out. However, I've had a little trouble in the past 2 months or so with leaking. I think my cervix may be getting lower? Especially on the first day or 2 of my cycle. I know that the Diva is ( Read more... )

Hello! I'm close to finishing my first cycle with a Diva Cup. So far there is a lot to love. I'm doing okay with inserting and removing and have had very little leaking. My one and only issue is that I can not pee with it in! Is it something I am doing wrong or is it the harder rim on the cup? I'm inserting it as horizontally as possible and have ( Read more... )

Hi ladies! So I've been researching cups for about a month now, and have watched videos, read charts and reviews, and now I think I'm overloaded. This is the first period I've gone tampon-free (I'm trying the Instead softcup as I know it will have a place in the repetoire anyway), and it's been kind of messy, and a little leaky, but I'm committed ( Read more... )

Hi all! I've been an on& off cup user for about 4 years (took time off for baby #2 & postpartum). I have a short vagina, low/dangly cervix, 36 years old, 1 csection, 1 vbac, good vaginal tone considering ( Read more... )

I have used a menstrual cup for 5 years now. I started with a lunette then I went to a fleurcup and now I use a sibell. The sibell is the softest cup I have. When I first started using cups I didn't have this problem. Now I can barely pee when I have the cup in. It also makes me feel like I have to pee all the time. I know that there are softer ( Read more... )

Well, I've been using a diva cup for about three years now. The seal is great, I've never had any problems with leaking or anything. I don't find it to be too long because I'd say I have an average to high cervix, it does drop a bit when I'm on my period but still I'm unable to reach it. The only problem is, like other people have said before, the ( Read more... )

Hello, I tried looking through the tags and I didn't see one for bladder. Maybe I just missed it. Anyway, yesterday was my first day with a Diva Cup. I am 32 and have never been pregnant, but I ended up buying the size 1 to start with. I don't mind moving up a size if I have to. Anyway, insertion seemed to go pretty well (it's a lot easier than the ( Read more... )
