5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent period product

However, last month I decided to take a leap of faith with the cup.INSERTION: Having never used a cup before, I must say it was a bit of work getting it in place but after about four attempts following the instructions on the box,I was beginning to get a hang of it. I found the 'punch down' technique to be the most efficient for me.SIZING: The pack contains two large and two small cups with both calibrated at the 7.5ml and 15ml marks. The large cup however does have room for extra 10ml to reach full capacity, while the small has extra space for about 5ml to full capacity. I decided to use the large size because i thought my periods were heavy, but, 6 hours later on day1, the cup was only 7.5ml full.LEAKPROOF: On the first trial, i wore a panty liner for extra protection and did have a little leakage, thus suggesting that the cup was not inserted properly. After few more trials, i had found the most effective way to insert cup to achieve full seal with no leaks.COMFORT: I observed that if the cup is inserted too high up the cervix, it causes massive cramps. Infact, I could only bear the cramps for about 3minutes before taking it out and re-inserting properly, after which, I could barely notice it was in there.REMOVAL: To take the cup out, I found that sitting on the toilet and bearing down slowly while pinching the bottom of the cup makes it easy to break the suction seal, then the cup can be pulled out easily.CLEANING: After emptying cup, it is best to rinse properly with cold water first before using hot water else the cup discolours quickly and also retains smell of blood for longer.From my experience, this brand is of excellent quality, does the job and is fairly easy to use.Using a menstrual cup might seem daunting at first, but, it does get easier and more comfortable on subsequent trials. I'm really pleased with my experience and will continue to use the menstrual cup.

5.0 out of 5 stars Customer service is amazing

D. · 11 June 2019

First let me start by saying this set is amazing value for money. Second the cups are well made and are lovely. My only concern. Was the stem was too short for me. This made it very hard for me to get the cup out without pain and discomfort. Being a seasoned cup user, I am used to cups coming with a long stem with the ability to trim as required for the I dividual user. This is my only feedback. If this is incorporated into a newer model then for me I would have no problem purchasing from these again. I got in touch with customer service and explained my problems and they resolved my issue by refund without question. For that alone I give 5 stars. It is not often you get a company giving fantastic customer service. I await a newer model with longer stem please let me know when available and will buy without hesitation. This product may be suitable for users with less depth. Just not the stem is very short and therefore not customisable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why haven't I done this sooner?

E.S. · 18 October 2020

I was scared of these for a long time but now I've used them, why didn't i start sooner! Easy to use, can't feel when its in, lasts a long time between changes, easy to sterilise, doesn't smell or itch, great for the enviroment and pays its self off in a few periods! 2 cups is enough for a period, but 4 is good for storing backups in handbag/ car etc. No difference between these and offical brand either. I watched a tutorial on youtube to get the hang of the technique.Downsides: need to be near a sink to rinse out (not great for public bathrooms but doable), can get messy - avoid if you can't deal with your period blood, can be a little awkward to get used to but if you've used tampons before it shouldn't be too hard. It took me 2 days to get really comfortable with the whole process.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than a moon cup

M.C. · 28 October 2021

Was not sure about these at first as have always used a mooncup and they were a lot cheaper so a bit skeptical, but.... overall very pleased. Very comfortable, easy to use, takes slightly longer to unfold but think this is because they are a little less rigid than a moon cup. No leakage, easy to clean. Only con so far is that it is slightly trickier to remove due to being less rigid than the moon cup and also as its smooth its slightly harder to pinch to get hold of as there's no ridges at the bottom so have to pinch a little harder which could potentially mean spillage if full I guess. I wore the larger cup on a medium flow day and did not have to change for 4.5 hours. Overall really impressed, may even be better than the moon cup, just hope it lasts as long as the moon cup has but only time will tell. Would give it 9/10

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing product 100% recommend

This product is amazing and for half the price on other sites plus you get 4 cups. I was skeptical at first and didn't think they would work because I have heavy periods and I was nervous I would leak through especially at night but I haven't leaked once. This has made having my period so much easier and I definitely won't go back to tampons and towels. It is a little tricky to put in when you first try but once you get the hang of it, it's so easy. I definitely recommend getting them.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not suitable if you have a high cervix

I. · 12 July 2020

I am a first time user and now thinking where i have been all these years without even knowing that such thing like the menstrual cup exists :) I had no issues with inserting and comfort of wearing this menstrual cup. Product is good in general. Easy to use and clean, no leaks when inserted correctly and perfect for a light/average flow as you don't have to change it for 12hrs. You dont even feel that you wear it until its time to get it out. Now here comes the issue... As the cup migrates up, molds to the shape of your body and the seal is pretty good, it is a nightmare to get it out if you have a high cervix. I personally think that the stem is too short hence you will have to spend quite a lot of time trying to grip the stem and gently coax it down to reach the base of the cup, pinch it to break the seal and get the cup out.I defo recommend this cup to all girls with low/medium cervix but if you are like me with a very high cervix, go for a different cup with a longer stem or longer shape to avoid the panic and time spent trying to get it out .

Repeat Buyer -- 2019 & 2025

(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } I bought my first cups in 2019-- from this company. I'm JUST NOW having to replace those from 2019! I'll be honest, I did try to buy another brand just to see, ya know? But why, why fix something that isn't broken? So, I ordered another set from this company.For clarity-- the tips broke off of my original ones. That's why I'm having to replace them.

Good quality

E. · 21 April 2021

Still learning but doing week so far

Don't know how to use it. Freaked myself out

n. · 22 July 2020

Followed all those videos on Youtube, managed to get it in - but was overly successful Over the course of the day, I could hear weird popping noises and by the end of the day, thing has travelled up so far into my body, it was almost Point of No Return. Tried it twice and the second time was worse. It was practically greeting my intestines. Will try to give this away...(There are a few, so I'll give the new ones away)

Wow

I.c.n.n.k.h.t.b.i.u.I.h.n.c.b.t.t.i.b. · 28 March 2025

These really work. Just be PATIENT with yourself about getting it out, it's NOT stuck 😄💯 and no 🍆 for you while using this, sorry ladies. If you're heavy, take it out and drain it every day, but only you will know when to take it out 😌

Leaks

Y.D. · 14 April 2025

This product leaks and I have change it constantly every 2 hours on a heavy flow day. but it is easy to take out and puts in. Realistically it only holds about 25% of its size.
