come on over, come on in (and sit in my vagina and catch my menstrual blood)
A little background: I'm a 26 year old woman who has never given birth. I am an advocate for women's health, and I worked in gynecology for several years. Outside of where I live (rural Texas!), I'm probably the second type of woman that pops into your head when you think of someone who uses a menstrual cup -- the first being the crunchy granola hippie who turns her placenta into pills. (I'm not judging, do you.) (Okay I'm judging a little, but that's mostly because of my own prejudices.) I have long loved the idea of reducing waste w/r/t menstrual products. For the last 6 years, I've used OB tampons because the idea of throwing applicators in the trash every month is appalling to me. I'm not a hippie or a tree-huger by any means, but I don't want to create more waste than I need. I also liked how little space the OB tampons took in my purse. Because I was already familiar with my lady parts, trying a cup seemed like the natural progression. Many of my friends use, love, and have recommended menstrual cups. So I said LET'S GET ON BOARD. The first time I tried was in 2013, and it was a disaster. I have a cervix that changes heights throughout my cycle and I have tried the Diva Cup, the Lunette Cup, and the Lily Cup at various points over the last four years with no success. I couldn't get a seal that worked or the cup would not work with my cervix. For one reason or another, I am not even sure what (shape? positioning of holes? my vagina not being a welcoming environment?), they just didn't work for me. I'm not exactly sure what caused me to bite the bullet this time, but I'm so glad that I did. After doing loads of research on menstrual cups (checking out Bryony (aka Bree aka Precious Stars Pads), the Put A Cup In It ladies, and the livejournal community on menstrual cups), I decided that a cup that was more bell/tulip shaped that was rather firm would be my best bet. I received my cup on Saturday morning, realized I'd started my period early in the afternoon, and after a few experimental folds, decided the punch-down fold would work best for me. The first day of my period was great! I left it in for about 11 1/2 hours with no leaks, I peed multiple times, had a BM, could not feel the cup at all. Which I thought was a good thing....until it was time for removal. I had some issues getting the seal to break, and my cervix is much higher than it generally is. I couldn't reach the stem of the cup with my fingers at all. I later figured out that most of the problem was the stem getting caught right above my pubic bone. The following is a (slightly censored) series of text messages I sent to one of my best friends (herself a diva cup user): "Okay so I just spent the last 45 minutes trying to remove my cup" "I literally couldn't get it out. I couldn't break the seal at all" "I ended up pushing like I was pooping but before I got the cup out I got a massive s*** and all of the residual (SUPER POTENT) urine out" "(It was at the top of my vagina which is VERY LONG rn bc my cervix is VERY HIGH today)" "at that point it got down to a place where i could tug on the stem" "and then I couldn't get it at all" "I got the stem outside of my body, relaxed, AND MY EFFING VAGINA ATE IT AGAIN" "So then I cried a little, took some giant breaths, and pushed down a gain. Got to where I could pull on the stem and it was so slippery I couldn't get a grip on it" "I beared (bore?) down while I was pulling on the stem and then the base and it popped out NO effing problem" "aaaand the single movement poured into the toilet before I could see how much blood was in it." Her only response? "Omfg friend, I'm so sorry." So. I took the overnight off my cup and used a tampon. And look, I have been using tampons for the last 15 years, exclusively for the last 13 or so. I have never felt a tampon the way that I did after I used my cup for just a single day. I could feel it. The same type of tampon I'd been using and inserting since I was in college. The menstrual product I had previously touted as perfect and unobtrusive! I COULD FEEL IT. It was one of the weirdest sensations I've experienced in a long time. In the morning, I took out the tampon, and it was mostly dry. It HURT to remove. You know the feeling? I don't need to describe it to you. At that point, I decided that my poor vagina was going to be miserable no matter what I did, so it might as well not be as dry as my West Texas plains. I put some water-based lube on the cup, on account of my vagina being so dry, and inserted it. ...and then it popped open before it was all the way inserted, because it was TOO LUBEY. Think that episode of New Girl when Schmidt uses too much lube and falls off the top bunk of a bunk bed. That is basically what happened, only the cup was schmidt and the bunk bed was the inside of my vagina? This is not a perfect metaphor. Anyway, it didn't hurt but it was uncomfortable as I was removing it. I adjusted the lubrication factor on the cup to a manageable amount, and inserted. Now, I will say this about my experience that I'm guessing most of you won't have: The one thing that's been tricky for me from transitioning from the digital tampons to the cup is the angle of insertion. With the digital tampons (digital as in "use your fingers" not "data expressed by 0s and 1s and transmitted"), you flare out the base and insert in the general upwards but slightly backwards direction. With the cup, you insert generally backwards and slightly upwards. Any issues I have had with inserting the cup have been with getting that angle right. I've found myself standing with one foot on the tub or the toilet, like Captain Morgan, starting to insert up and thinking, "NOPE THIS IS NOT RIGHT, abort abort BEFORE IT POPS OPEN TOO SOO-crap." If you're not used to inserting things into your vagina at a specific angle, this will not apply to you. My flow picked up on Sunday to the point where I filled up roughly half of the small cup (so probably between 8-15mL) each time I've emptied it between Sunday and Tuesday. I would say I have a normal - normal-heavy flow, though my periods last around 8-10 days, though they do get considerably lighter after day 5 and sometimes skip a day or two in the middle. (I have talked to my gyne about this, she says my endometrium is just finicky. She also said I have a cute uterus.) I had an Incident on Tuesday afternoon after work, where, instead of pulling the cup out and slightly up, I got a bit...overzealous in my movement and ended up spilling on myself and the floor. Thankfully, I was about to get into the shower and was not wearing clothes, though I did have to lysol the floor and pray no crime scene investigator comes to the house and luminols the floor any time soon. I chalk this up to my own clumsiness and inexperience, as well as my over-zealousness, rather than a shortfall of the cup. There was just a bit of clear fluid in the cup when I emptied it on Wednesday morning. Figuring I'd hit one of my mid-period lulls, I put the cup in its adorable bag and took it with me to work. I figured that if I needed it, I could insert it at work. Well, after my morning meeting, I Felt It Coming Back. So I went to one of the bathroom stalls, took a few deep breaths, squatted a smidge, and put the cup in. First try: no popping it open and hitting me at the entrance of my vagina, no lube, in a public place! I would generally have to change a super tampon at least once over my workday or a regular tampon 2-3 times. NOTHING. It was just SET IT AND FORGET IT, like those Ron-co cookers that used to have infomercials running constantly in the early 2000s. I have been able to remove and insert it on the first or second try after the first day or so. I will say that there is a steep learning curve to using a cup, but I would say that's not different than switching from pads to tampons for the first time -- an experience I haven't had since middle school. There is a possibility that I could have made another cup work if I tried harder, but I had leaks galore with those cups. This one? NADA. Even on the first day. The customer service at Lena is FANTASTIC. After my Saturday Night Vagina Fight, I used the contact form on the Lena website to ask if maybe I needed the larger size because of my migration issue and inability to remove the cup. I sent it around 10:30p my time and received an in-depth reply from Amanda at 2:04a. ON A SATURDAY GOING INTO SUNDAY. That's literally unheard of. Like, I worked at a bar and stopped giving a care about our drunk patrons after about 1:30a. She was kind, very reassuring, and gave me a lot of suggestions. I took them into account and haven't had an issue with removal since. I would recommend this product to anyone across the board, with the following exceptions: -people who do not have vaginas -people who no longer menstruate due to hormonal birth control, menopause, hysterectomy, or endometrial ablation -people who are not comfortable getting up close and personal with their genitals, including measuring their cervix -people who are not comfortable with the viscous and weirdly textured menstrual blood -people who embarrass easily Menstrual cups in general and the Lena Cup specifically are good for: -individuals who care about their carbon footprint and creating less waste -people who travel a lot and don't want to worry about carrying around menstrual products -people who are forgetful and have to buy a new box of tampons every month because they forget theirs at work -individuals who work long shifts with not a lot of time for restroom breaks (nurses, servers, teachers, etc.) I can't count the number of times I left a tampon in for what I know is too long because I didn't want to lose a table during a shift at the bar. -people who want to be cool-- menstrual cup sales have gone up almost 200% since 2015! If you've read this far into the review, you're clearly interested in this product, and I cannot recommend it enough. I hope you enjoyed it, learned from my mistakes, and laughed with me at myself.

Believe the hype!
Okay, believe the hype, these are seriously life changing. Before I purchased, I read a ton of reviews for many menstrual cups, and decided to purchase the Lena cup (large). I'm not squeamish, and I'm very comfortable with my body, so I was very excited for my first period (WHAT?). The Lena cup made for a very pleasant experience. I typically have an extremely heavy flow on D2 and D3, and I found myself only needing to dump it every 4-6 hours, which is huge! I previously could only use those massive, uncomfortable overnight pads on those days, and would still have leaks. Those pads are terribly uncomfortable, and my flow would not allow for even the Ultra Plus tampons. Needless to say, on D2 and D3 of my period, my lifestyle was diminished because I had to constantly be in granny panties and black sweats around the house, dreading every sneeze, not sleeping soundly out of fear of having a leak in bed. Enter the Lena Cup! This baby has changed the way I think about my period, and I feel like I'm more in tune with my body and my cycle because of it. I'm happy to have less stress during my period, and no odor! All these years (I'm in my mid-30s), I thought that my period caused me to smell, but it's actually because of the pads and tampons that there is an odor. It's disgusting to think that I would sit in my own funk all this time. Thanks to the Lena Cup, I have regained a week back in my month! I no longer have to live as a prisoner to my period. The initiation process is quick, easy, and painless. The company sends numerous marketing emails (maybe too many, but I'm glad they care) explaining the process and what to expect, tips for insertion and removal, etc. I was well-prepared for the process. I had to figure out which insertion method worked best for me (punch fold FTW), but after that, insertion was a breeze. I had ZERO issues with leaks or the product not opening and sealing properly. They really know what they did when they designed this baby. Removal is a bit tougher because it's REALLY vacuum sealed in there, but once I figured out how great my anatomy is at PUSHING something out of it (funny how that works, huh?), it became really easy too! So there's a small learning curve, but it's totally worth it and you'll get the hang of it quickly. I'm seriously never going back to disposable products. Give it a try, you'll see. And if you don't like it, hey, you aren't out that much money. But I will gladly recommend menstrual cups to the masses. One day, if I have a teenage girl, I will be glad to awkwardly explain how to use it. She'll probably be super embarrassed, but whatever. She won't ever have to know the terrible ways of pads and tampons!

... a few months ago and I am absolutely in love now, so I will give you my thoughts ...
I started using the Lena cup a few months ago and I am absolutely in love now, so I will give you my thoughts as they changed throughout my time using it. To be quite honest, there was a steep learning curve for me with the Lena cup when it first arrived. I was used to the ease of plastic applicator tampons, so learning different folds for insertion and finding the one that worked for me was a challenge. Thankfully, the box comes with a pretty easy-to-read and informative manual that helps you figure out which fold is best for you. At least in my case, though, there was a bit of anxiety when first using this product, which did not make inserting it easy because the cup found a lot of resistance going in. In fact, I gave up on using the Lena cup the first time and had to put it away and try it again later. Once I was used to it, though, I was surprised at how easy it was to use. Some other reviews have mentioned leaking with this product but this has yet to happen to me. I have found that if you pull on it once inserted to ensure that a seal has formed and change it within a reasonable time frame (within 8-12 hrs) on the heaviest days of your period, you are unlikely to ruin your underwear. For the days that the menstrual flow is lighter, this product is a god send. One of the biggest reasons I was looking for something other than tampons was that tampons were very irritating to me if I was not on a heavy flow day because they simply dried me out to the point of discomfort. I can use this during the day, at night, on heavy days and really light days, and it works well at all times. For me, there are only two drawbacks using this product: the first is that you need to have access to a solo bathroom with ample space and a sink in order to use this without any mishaps. It is not easy to change the Lena cup in a bathroom stall, which can be a challenge if you are traveling or out for the whole day without access to a more private and clean bathroom. The second is that there are times when it is difficult to remove it, especially in the beginning. If you have been sleeping or lying down, the cup will ride up and it can be difficult to get it out without walking around so it displaces downward and bearing down while squatting in a place with ample space. There are a lot of tales about this on the internet, so head to YouTube for advice if this happens to you. That was all I needed and I rarely ever struggled again with this once I got the hang of it. For some people, like for me and my partner, getting a handle on removing it is the most challenging part. There are few things more painful than letting the cup flap open as you remove it, so this is definitely something to watch and learn to correct. Otherwise, this is a great product. It pays for itself in just a few times using it, does not require you to have extra stuff (like pads for night wear or tampons for lighter/heavier days), and it is much better for the environment than the other products on the market. It is hands down the best purchase I made for myself this year and I am never going back to the old feminine products they present as our only option.

Great Cup! First time user friendly
Let’s start with the basics - I’m 37 years old with 3 kids and very active. I have tried a cup two other times when my kids were younger and couldn’t get them in or to lay right to save my life. I recently started watching ALL THE YOU TUBE videos again because I wanted to try the cup method one last time. I literally watched every single video It’s Just Kelley did on all her cups. I ended up with the Lena and 2 others based on her recommendation. I have successfully used all three and actually like each of them but this is a Lena cup review so I’ll keep it at that. First for size - get both. Yes, both. Your cervix will gradually move from the low to high during your period and both will come in handy. The cup it’s self is soft. But not super soft . If I had to guess I’d say medium firmness. My Saalt cup is firmer but it’s not as soft as the Flex cup. I use the punch down fold. I think it’s the greatest fold since sliced bread. Once inside it opens up with relative ease and you can run your finger inside to make sure it sealed. I literally don’t have to do that . My body almost just sucks it up and you can feel it connect. I know that sounds stupid but it’s true and I don’t have any issues with it leaking . The stem is long but once it is inside I cannot feel anything. No stem. No cup. Nothing . It’s magical. Removal isn’t difficult but sometimes I have to push the cup down if it is too high. Don’t freak. Just relax and squeeze your muscles like you are pooping or delivering a baby. Then relax and do it again. Gradually the cup with come down and then once you can reach the stem you can use that until you can grasp the bulb Bottom to release the suction. Then just shimmy it down. It’s really that easy. The small cup doesn’t hold enough for me to make it 12 hours - I can get six out of it. I guess I have a heavy flow but I didn’t realize that until I started using the cups. I just assumed you should be changing your super tampon once an hour for the first three days - judge - don’t judge - it is what it is. The large cup holds more but is less comfortable with a low cervix. I don’t mind emptying every 6 hours and my overnight flow is less so that isn’t really a concern. Bottom line. Clearly Eveyone is different - this cup may or may not work for you and your body type. It’s a calculatedly risk - do your research. At the end of the day I think the Lena cup is very user friendly and a good go to first cup choice .

superior menstrual product
I think this thing just changed my period life. So to preface i grew up in a house with three sisters (one of which has moved out) but my younger of the two is still here. We go through pads/tampons super super quickly since we often sync up on our cycles so it’s very expensive to keep replenishing the stock of menstrual products. There’s also the issue of my sister being bad at telling whoever is going to the store next that she used the last of whichever product when it no longer conveniences her and it screws over the next person who needs that product. You can imagine how annoying that would be for period products. Anyways i had been hearing lots of people were trying out the diva cup and after lots of back and forth (mainly me being scared on insertion and getting it out) i decided to go on amazon and get one to try it out. it’s more sustainable, lower odor, and people seem to like it. amazon came up with a bunch of different options and i looked through many reviews and finally landed on the Lena cup! there were so many great and in depth reviews and people were telling everyone every good and bad aspect and how they loved not only the product but the company as well, so i got one! i just tried it out today so i’m going to explain how it went. woke up, oh great i’m bleeding :/, but oh wait i get to try out my cup! i already figured i had a higher cervix so i had an idea of how to position it as well as my first time years ago putting in a tampon was a breeze for me personally and i was very comfortable finding my angle that positions best for my flow so that helped a ton. when first inserting i read the instructions and thought the inward fold would be my best bet but when inserting it kept popping open and was a bit uncomfortable and not nearly high up enough to pop open so i tried the 7 fold and it went in great! after a bit of finagling it popped open and suctioned into place! i personally didn’t have to cut the string it sits perfectly in the entrance of my vagina but if you have a lower cervix you may have to adjust it. after an hour or two i wanted to check that i wasn’t leaking and wasn’t about to leak so i mentally prepped myself to take out the cup (this was the part i was most scared of). went to the bathroom and found the string and wiggled it back and forth like the instructions said and it did lower but the suction really holds it in so i went to squeeze the base of the cup to release the suction. this part was a little difficult as i had just gotten stiletto shaped acrylics the day before (not a good idea i know) and i didn’t want to stab my vagina so i had to adjust very carefully and use both hands (one to hold the string and one to pinch the base). once i pinched the base it released perfectly and came out fairly easily. i dumped the blood and rinsed it thoroughly and then reinserted with no issue! i did all of this once again before work and wore it for my short shift. i will say i was glad it was a short shift as i did fill up the cup within 5 hours and at the very end leaked onto my panty liner a bit. i would’ve changed it but where i work we don’t have private bathrooms and i’m not comfortable washing it in the sink where anyone could see so next time i might wear a thin pad or maybe go up a size in cups. overall the cup was very comfortable, felt like a tampon i could really only feel the end of the string and that was only if i moved a certain way. i’m not comfortable wearing it to bed yet just because i tend to try and sleep for 6-11 hours depending on my schedule and while i do get a lighter flow when i sleep i don’t think this size would be able to catch all of my flow. sorry that this ending bit is a little unstructured but i want to hit on a few other points. with the cup you get no odor until you’re dumping it (and that’s only towards the end of the period when the blood is a bit older). another point i want to hit on might be a little tmi this whole thing may have been tmi haha, but when i poop i don’t love having it in. you can feel the pressure of it and i’m sure i just have to get used to it but it just feels a little odd? anyways this has been my review of the lena cup! 5/5 stars for this i really like it and will edit with anything worth mentioning at the end of my period since i am a bit worried and insertion and taking it out when my flow is lighter and less lubricated so we’ll see how that goes. definitely try this product though, it’s great for the environment and you get to know your body better❤️

Review from Interstitial Cystitis/PCOS Sufferer
I switched to menstrual cups about two years ago when I realized that my then undiagnosed interstitial cystitis bladder pain got unbelievably worse anytime 1) my period came around and 2) I would use a tampon. I first tried the size 1 Lunette cup and the rest is history. I am still convinced that menstrual cups are miracle workers for period related pelvic pain. Seriously. My family and friends all know I use a cup as I advocate for it like a political cause and try to "convert" people to it. Anyway, I kept misplacing my Luna because I never used the storage bag and I eventually lost it a few months ago. My periods were like slow agonizing deaths again so I decided to try the Lena. This time I bought the size 2 for heavy flows. Word of advice for anyone with bladder and pelvic pain that I have learned after literally hours of researching almost every menstrual cup in existence this week: ALWAYS USE THE SMALLEST SIZE AND THE SOFTEST CUP AVAILABLE. Last month when I got my Lena I quit using after the first emptying because it literally hurt that badly to take out. I was genuinely worried I was ripping my cervics out. I decided to try it again this month and the pain is the same, but it doesn't hurt as bad as tampons. So I contacted the company and told them my delima as they have a 100% satisfaction policy, and they have great customer service. I asked them about swapping my Normal size 2 for a Sensitive size 1. I am sure they will allow me the refund, but it's Saturday so I haven't gotten their second email reply yet. The thing about Lena is that they are one of the firmer cups out there and that usually doesn't work with bladder pain. So I ordered a Sckoon Cup which is one of the softest cups, but until then, I am using the Lena. So here are some comparisons I have for the Lena and the Lunette. My Lunette I always felt was a bit too small (size and flow), but I literally never had any pain with it. Ever. They run about $40. They are soft-medium firmness. The Lena is definitely a medium to firm firmness. Although I have a lot of pain when removing the Lena, it could be related to the size jump, but I don't think so. I feel like although the Lena had a large capacity, it feels too wide for a bit after inserted. My Lena has not leaked one bit, but that may also be beucase of its monstrous seal, which may also contribute to my pain factor. The Lena has absolutely no problem popping open once inside and falling in place. If your main problem is heavy flow and leakage and you have no bladder or pelvic pain, I HIGHLY recommend the Lena. But if you have any sort of bladder or pelvic pain, try the Lena Sensitive 1. Trust me.

Total life changer!
This is a total game changer and has transformed my period experience from nuisance to unnoticeable. I heard about menstrual cups years ago but was at first skeptical of their effectiveness and honestly grossed out. But after using the Lena cup for my first cycle last month you will never again be able to convince me that tampons and pads are more sanitary than this product. I did a few hours of research to find what I thought would be the best menstrual cup for me. I chose Lena because I read many reviews saying that it was the most leak-proof cup and that it was comfortable. I chose the large because I was post-birth, but I think you're supposed to choose based on your flow. The large fits me well and is fine for my medium flow period. I had no problems whatsoever using the Lena cup. I watched a couple of YouTube videos and read the instructional booklet to get a good sense of how to use it and troubleshoot any issues. I use the '7' fold and it pops open easily. I have had zero leaks after using it for only one cycle. The only issue that I was easily able to navigate was removing it. This could potentially be scary for a new user. The cup tends to migrate up my vagina as I go about my day walking and sitting, etc. When I went to remove it found that I could barely touch the pull tab. However, as I had read, there is no where for the cup to go! The key is to relax your pelvic floor and you can bear down a little bit and the cup will become much more available for removal. As I am sure is the case for all menstrual cups, it takes some dexterity and finagling to remove the cup. I found that I had to use two hands most of the time. I'm right-handed, so I would use my left to pull down on the tab and my right to grasp the bottom of the cup. All in all, I LOVE my Lena cup. I am never ever ever going back to tampons and pads. It is so convenient, sanitary, and COMFORTABLE! I don't feel it at all when it's in. I know everyone's anatomy is different, so I encourage you to get to know your body, the height of your cervix during menstruation, etc. Do a little research or maybe just order both sizes to try. And don't give up if you don't get the hang of it during your first cycle. I had no issues from day one, but my understanding is that it might take a few cycles to really be an expert at using it. It is worth the effort, so keep trying! I believe it is my obligation to tell all my girlfriends and family about menstrual cups. And I have recommended the Lena cup to them. This is a total life changer and every woman deserves to know about it and give it a try if they want. The number one question I get when I tell people about this is "does it spill?" The answer is "no". Could you potentially drop it at some point...yes. It does get slippery. But if you take your time, are careful and mindful, I promise you there will be no problem. I plan on introducing it to my daughter when she's of age. She's only 3 now but this is how much I love this product. Note: I'm not getting rewarded in any way for this review.

Life changing!!!
I almost never leave reviews, but for this one I absolutely have to let the world know what a hidden gem this thing is. I’m 19, 5’5, 145 lbs. I ordered the large size even though I'm a virgin & it says “not for virgins” because my periods are pretty heavy.. I usually go through a super plus tampon every 2-2.5 hours. tampons seemed to make me cramp worse, but if I wore a pad during the day, I’d have to wear the extra long overnight ones to over leaking off of the front & back. Super. Annoying. I couldn’t sleep with tampons in because that would mean I’d have to wake up every 2 hours in the night. I *HATED* having my period because it felt sooo incredibly inhibiting. couldn’t really go places for long because it was embarrassing to have to go to the bathroom every 2 hours, & I was going through an entire box of tampons per period. As a non-working college student, the cost of these products adds up very quickly, as I’m sure many of you know. So.. I decided to do some research on menstrual cups which I was VERY uneasy about at first. However, I was honestly fed up and willing to try anything at this point. After reading and watching numerous YouTube videos on how to fold, insert, and take it out before it arrived, it became clear that spending $26 bucks on a menstrual cup that I could reuse over and over again is way smarter & eco friendly than spending hundreds of dollars a year in disposable products. The first night I used it, I tried the “C fold” which, for virgin me, was a pretty uncomfy and hard to put in. Next I tried what’s called the “half-diamond fold” and it was PERFECT! Much narrower to put in, just like a tampon. I love that it doesn’t need to be changed as often as a tampon, it’s more discreet, and you can’t feel It!! Genuinely forgot I was on my period sometimes. Also doesn’t make cramps worse the way tampons did for me. I can finally sleep on my period without worrying about my pad leaking everywhere, or the uncomfortable feeling of blood on me when wearing pads to bed. Since it doesn’t need to be changed as often, I can change it before leaving the house & not need to change it again until I get home. Soo so proud of my purchase. Life changing. I still use liners with them, and might use tampons here and there, but I can’t believe I’ve gone this long not knowing what a life saver the cup was. Now I won’t sit here and pretend like the beginning wasn’t a little rough. It was definitely a much more intimate experience than I thought haha. Be sure to bring it out at an angle, like when you put it in to avoid spilling blood all over your hand like me :) ALSO: I recommend pinching the bottom of it & that should unsuction it just fine for removal. I will admit that taking it out requires a little “fishing” if you will.. so be prepared to get your hands a little dirty in the beginning. Lastly, I bought a menstrual cup sanitizer because I knew my mom would throw a fit if I dare put this in one of her pots to boil at the end of each period. I bought the pink & white one by VORKE & it works great!! Just pop my cup in there while I’m in the shower & it’s ready for use once I’m out. Other than removing it being a bloody (literally) disaster in the beginning, I 10/10 recommend. Tell a friend! Get a sterilizer! spent $46 on my cup & sterilizer combined. Much cheaper than the cost adding up overtime of disposables. Life. Changer.

The best ever!!!!!
The learning curve is a bit hard. And it's not that soft and flexible. Great product, great packaging and great delivery. Thanks Lena and Amazon.

L’acquisto migliore del decennio.
Questa è la mia prima coppetta e, dopo un utilizzo di quasi un anno, posso dire che mi pento di non averla acquistata prima. Certo, diciamocelo, come per tutte le coppette ci vuole un po’ per capire il modo giusto per indossarla ma, essendo morbidissima, una volta abituati non si sente nulla e si ha una sensazione di comodità incredibile. L’ho usata al mare, per fare sport, per viaggiare... e non ne sono mai stata delusa! La consiglio assolutamente!

Sehr zufrieden
Infolge einer Beratung habe ich mir die Yuuki soft 2 gekauft. Die war mir aber viel zu hart beim Einführen und Entfernen und der Stiel hat mich sehr gestört -- kürzen hat es nur noch schlimmer gemacht. Also musste eine kleinere weichere her, am besten mit flachem Stiel. Es wurde die Lunette. Die wurde mit der Zeit etwas weicher und in den ersten Tagen war sie bei manchen Bewegungen undicht, den Stiel fand ich aber super. Deshalb kam nur noch ein flacher Stiel in Frage und so habe ich die Lena entdeckt. Sie ist etwas fester als die Lunette, lässt sich aber problemlos -- und schmerzlos (war bei mir immer ein Problem) -- einführen und entfernen.

Ottima coppetta
Molto comoda e facile da inserire. Nessuna perdita nonstante un ciclo piuttosto intenso. Come da produttore, puo essere indossata fino a 12 ore senza problemi (circa 9 con ciclo intenso). La misura piccola e' capiente e comoda, molto facile da rimuovere.
