Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Best first time experience! They were comfortable, and there were NO leaks. Definitely more hygienic than tampons and pads. If this is your first time using menstrual cups, I highly suggest looking up tips on how to care and use them online. There are various folding methods and positions that make it easier. What worked for me: Inserting: Wetting the cup w/ water, flattening and then folding it like a taco.Relax your muscles! Keep the cup folded as you insert it. I inserted it with the folded side down. Position used: leg up on the counter/laundry hamper. If the cup was inserted too high, I squatted and then pushed it down with my muscles until it felt comfortable. (think Kegel exercised) Testing if it sealed property: GENTLY use the stem of the cup to see if there is any give to it. Some ladies on the internet suggested twisted the cup after insertion. I haven't tried this myself. I felt the "pop" of the cup and used to the stem to see if it would budge. Removal: Do not try yank it out. Use your muscles to push it down until the bulb of the cup within reach. You can run you fingers around the cup and/or squeeze the bulb of the cup to loosen the suction. Only pull it out when you feel suction release. If you're worried about the mess, you can try it in the shower your first few tries. Hope this helps. I definitely recommend these cups.
