Cup XL ice - The Menstrual Cup for Very Heavy Flow Days

I bought this product back in 2019 (the one size). Before that I had numerous other cups but they all did not work for me. First, my uterus was low, I had VERY HEAVY flow for at least up to the 3rd day and I would leak no matter what I tried whether it was high capacity cup or cups designed for low uterus. Well, when I got this one, I was already fed up and left it for a LONG time. During that time I found out some things about myself. I had very tight muscles down there so by the time my cup was full (within hours), I could tell. Not only would I leak again, but I had this swishing feeling... too weird to explain. I also mastered my folding technique and realized one thing too... if you don't fold properly you'll push air up inside you which will cause a great deal of discomfort and may even create conditions for bacteria to grow. So make sure that even if you insert it, you squeeze the air out and use your fingers to manipulate around the edges to get it sealed. How will you know when its sealed; give it a gentle pull and it won't go anywhere! When you want to release you DO NOT PULL IT OUT! Squeeze it and then remove it in that pinched position.Why am I telling you all this? Because going on this journey requires patience and exploration. All the things that people complained about bitterly on various platforms what EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED. I needed something with crazy suction (or else I would pour). I needed something that would hold its shape no matter what (because my muscles were strong). You might have a collection before you see what works for you, but don't stop trying. The tampons and the pads ARE NOT WORTH GOING BACK TO.I took me years to figure out that I made the right choice in buying this one. Now I'm extending my collection.Love you all - Michelle

The media could not be loaded. Haven't used it yet but I'm sure I will love it, specially bc it is harder than the ones I've previously used it looks like it will "pop"/unfold easily once inside, that is an issue I have encountered with the softer cups in the past, bc they are so soft they stay folded and won't "pop" inside. Will be back with an updated review after my first use. 💕

...no air holes for venting/suction release. Damn near pulled out my cervix. Also seems to be for low cervixes (sp). Too much digging for high cervix ladies. Nope.Capacity is nice though.

I'm very pleased with these cups! I've been happily using Lunette cups for about 15 years and when searching for a new one, I found the Merula cups which, honestly, sounded too good to be true with promises of soft comfort with XL capacity. Well, they have delivered on this promise for sure. I have both the the XL and the regular sized cups for heavy and light days and they go in and come out so easy and comfortably and are also comfortable while in place. The XL cup lasts twice as long as a standard cup with so much more capacity for those extra heavy days. The silicone is very soft for comfort yet firm enough to open up when inserted. Finally! its about time. Sorry Lunette, I am a Merula convert!

Painful to use even for an experienced cup user, and if it doesn't work for you just beware that this company offers no satisfaction guarantee and will not refund/replace items that don't work for you. Recommend Saalt or Pixie as companies with much better customer service if something doesn't work for you

I bought this one because of my insanely heavy flow because a smaller one would be pointless. Don't think for a moment that being able to use ultra tampons means you can put this thing in. Its also impossible to keep folded so while you are sitting there trying to insert repeatedly and it pops open spraying blood everywhere……yeah :|

If you want a prolapse then buy it. After my 3rd time of using it I got uterine prolapse and I've used many menstrual cups before this. The suction on this cup is crazy purchase at your own risk.

Love the capacity, but due to the width, it pushes uncomfortably on my bladder.
