Take the leap!
Okay, so you’re thinking about trying this thing. I was in your shoes, 2 months ago and I made the jump to a menstrual cup and I’m never ever going back! Couple of things to know-
1. Do not use cold water- I put it in cold once and got cramps
2. Don’t try to dump unless you’re right next to a sink... or you at least have some baby wipes close by.
3. My periods are shorter and they end quickly now, no more three days of spotting after my cycle!
4. Leaks at night, but my period gets super heavy at night- so that may be why?
5. Storage bag is useful between cycles.
6. Wash with a gentle soap like Johnson baby soap-
7. Now we’re getting super personal- but bear down like you’re going to poop when you’re putting it in- helps me.
8. Yes it’s true- I have less cramps with this thing in- I’m a kindergarten teacher and can’t always go when I need to change a tampon- I’ve never had a leak at work or needed to change this out at work!
9. From one chick to another, buy it!
