The best cup (I’ve tried 5 different brands)!

(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 am obsessed with this cup — I’ve literally been using a cup for 5 years, and have been using a Viv cup for 2 years now (I bought this 2nd one on Bolo because I left mine at my parents place).The Viv cup is the best one I’ve used by far!! Here is why:1. It’s black — I used a clear cup (from Boots in London during my study abroad) and it got so stained and gross after 6 months.2. It doesn’t have a stem — every single other cup (diva, honey pot, Saalt, etc) I’ve used had a stem I needed to cut which would literally poke me down there. So uncomfortable when I was working out.3. It has a ring — I sometimes wear acrylic nails which would make it really hard to grab the other cups I had tried. The ring makes it really easy to hook with my finger and pull out without having to grab with my long nails.4. It’s comfortable, like it don’t notice it comfortable — I think a big part of this is that it has a ring rather than a stem, but I love not feeling it!5. Leak proof — I have never leaked with Viv! I only need to empty it morning and night of my cycle and never have and issue with leaking or bleeding through.It’s seriously so good! I tell everyone about it. I am also loving the cup wash (didn’t buy that with my first one and it’s made the cleaning a lot faster and easier).And the box says beginner friendly — I can confirm, if you’ve never tried a cup, this one is the easiest one to insert. I’m such a fan!!

Works well, easy care

This product works very well. I have tried similar cups, and the pull circle at the bottom to help with removal is easily accessible. It is also of thicker material so that it does not appear that it will split, like the previous cup I have used. The shape of the cup is comfortable for both insert and removal.

Learning curve for beginners, but glad i made the switch!

So, im a cup beginner. Under 30, never had kids. Got the small. Ive never tried cups at all, only the softdiscs. I liked the idea of not worrying about whats up there for an extended period of time because i work in a hospital and so theres not always an opportunity to change a pad or tampon, which, im an anxious person so when that 8 hour mark hits i start to sweat a lil bit and think "oh no, TSS". Soft discs are pretty hit or miss, where id still leak so i ended up still wearing pads. I talked to my girls group chat, and one gave the cup high praise. I am freaked out by the stem design of most cups, and so this was like "oh hey, ring. That's convenient." It went in pretty easily. I found a fold that worked right away. Ngl, i shoulda used a little bit of lube though to help initially, but oh well. I left it in and went about my day-zero leaks, so whoo! Didnt feel it at all either.Taking it out....was weird at first. I FELT that suction power. So that was an "oops! Imma rip my cervix off if i pull on the ring rn" so i ended up really getting to know myself while i learned how to break the suction. Second time was a lil easier. 3rd time i ended up taking it out in the shower---WAY easier. And once i got the hang of that, the ring is nice to help guide it out. Blood dumping is a lil gross. Washing it is gross. But honestly, so was wrapping up soaked pads and tampons. Now i dont have that stuff sitting in my trash and im reducing carbon footprints along the way. I dont think ill ever use a tampon again.Also, the fact that there isnt staining since its all black, yeah. I appreciate that.So, ill mention too, this one is a lil stiff. Like, its durable. So if you want something softer, this might not be for you. I guess idk what other cups feel like. But this seems sturdy and i feel like it pops open easily when up there. I dont have to maneuver it too much to get it to open up and suction. It is a LITTLE hard to keep it folded while first getting it in. But again, for me, it just felt like a learning curve.I like that this company is female owned. That's always gonna be a positive, because women know women. I like the site. They say on the site that everyone who menstrates should have a cup. Theyre so inclusive and i appreciate that out of a company. In case that matters to anyone too.

Best menstrual cup I've used!

This is the best menstrual cup I've used and I've had several. The problem with all my other cups was that the stem would break eventually, leading to a VERY difficult removal. The ring feature on this cup makes removal a breeze and it feels super sturdy.

Definitely worth the money!

To be completely honest, I had no idea what I was doing at first. It took me a good 30 mins to figure out how to put it in right. But once you figure it out, it works wonders. I found that the triangle fold was the easiest for me to put it in. When I first put it in, I thought it might’ve been too big, but it was the right size (small). I was moving out of my dorm, and I didn’t even think about it the entire day until I got home to relax. All I do is pop it in and forget about it until the end of the day when I need to empty it. Never again will I use disposable period products.
