Diva Cup - LADIES ONLY!

Ah, thank you for the correction. It probably was the soft cup then.
Whichever it was, I think all ladies should try this kind of device at least once for themselves. We get so brainwashed into thinking our only options are pads or tampons.

Menstrual cups are always reusable, eco-friendly and economically convenient than cloths and sanitary napkins. There are various brands available which provide these cups in different sizes and shapes, so it is easy for you to choose any of them. But is preferable to go for the medical silicone material cup menstruelle as it won't cause any vaginal infections and you can easily use a single for 10 years.

Sorry, haven't experienced this. Maybe you didn't quite have it inserted properly? Keep trying!

Ok, bumping this thread again.

I have used the Diva Cup for 11 years and now the Yuuki Cup.

There is a learning curve to insertion, removal, etc. It does take a couple of cycles to learn all this, but once you do its great!

This is for the person who wasn't sure about using this when going out & not being able to use a washroom with a sink handy to rinse out their cup. When using a public washroom I just wet some paper towel, bring in the stall with me give the cup a wipe & re-insert. I do give it a good rinsing when I get home.

One of the benefits of the Yuuki Cup is that it comes with a lidded container that you can put your menstrual cup in, cover with water and microwave for 5 minutes to sterilize. Another way is to place menstrual cup in a pot of water and boil.

The best cups use medical grade silicon thereby making it safer for internal use.

Don't forget your cervix sits different each day during your period so you may have to adjust your insertion method for a more comfortable fit.
