I started using cup since I was 15. It took me 20 minutes to master using it, but it was all worth it. It's been 5 months and I didn't use pad since then. I use cup for the first 5 days and pantiliner for 6th and 7th day. If I didn't have pantiliner, I even used cup for entire 7 days which is totally fine. I love the combination of menstrual cup and period panty.

They don't spill as long as you put them in right. (You'll know because you'll barely be able to feel it if at all.) It creates a suction to you essentially. When you go to the bathroom you just pinch the bottom of it to break that suction and pull it out with the little end bit, just like a tampon string. Then dump it out, rinse if you can, then put back in. If you're not comfortable doing it in public you don't have too. I have 2 jobs and ive gone 16 hours without emptying it because I was busy and didn't want to deal with it at work. Such a life saver. You literally couldn't pay me to use tampons ever again.

I mean, I got curious when I got older. I started using Tampons (no cups yet) i when I was 14. I recommend starting near high school. It’s nerve racking but once you understand how easy it is, it’s worth it. There will be leaks so don’t think it will soak everything up, so wear a pad. Don’t be scared. If you are start with a small size in Tampax. It’s better to start small than really large that can stretch your v-j. There are three sizes so when it says, “large” “regular” and “small” pick small, most of Tampax doesn’t keep the same sizes in different types of packaging so I recommend always picking the small one once you start it or when you end it. Trust me, you’re going to be acting like it doesn’t even phase you 😂

I totally get that feeling of not wanting something down there esp during a period, cramps hurt and even pants being too tight is uncomfortable!

Cup is a really game changer and saves you a lots of money.

for those worried about spilling it and where to rinse it when you’re out in public: you dump it in the toilet! also the great thing about cups vs. tampons is that there isn’t a risk of TSS, so as long as it doesn’t overflow, you can leave it in until you get home/to a private bathroom. i used to be able to go to school with it in, and never have to take it out and rinse it until i got home! so no worries about rinsing it in public ☺️ they’re amazing once you get the hang of it, because they save money, they’re better for the environment, and they’re safer for your vaginal health! i highly recommend getting one if you are considering doing so 🥰

It stays in place because of suction, and it covers your vagina walls collecting all the blood without letting any of it slip out. If it overflows it still stays in there and doesn't move, the blood accumulates on top of it but it doesn't escape and once you take the cup out it all goes down the toilet.

It stays in place by using suction, basically there's a vacuum being created between your cervix and the cup. It can be easily taken out by squeezing the cup, thus breaking the suction. You need to change it every few hours at most, depending on how much you bleed. I usually only do it twice a day. I've been using it for two years now, never wore tampons before either (they always hurt!) but cups really aren't as scary as they look and really cheap too!

To take it out you insert a finger inside the vagina canal, as far as you can reach (usually the point finger works best), while pinching with your thumb the bottom of the cup where the long them is (you can cut that one to the size that feels best to you, you should cut it high up enough so it doesn't bother you when you sit but not too far up that it's not easy to pinch with your fingers to get the cup out). After that try pushing the pointer finger one side (left or right, so that the cup can fold and lose suction to the vagina walls) and with the help of your thumb you can pull it out slowly and carefully (you never want to be rushed or too harsh with it). This is what works for me, what works for you may be different so try a cup out and see what you find best suits you (there's multiple explanations on how to take the cup out in the package that the cup comes in, for every single cup brand, no matter what one you buy, so you can also try any of them you see written on the box and decide what you like most).

Just squeeze the sides very gently and empty it into the toilet. Then you can rinse it with cold water and put it in again. After your last use it's advisable to boil it for a few minutes in water to make sure no bacteria is left on the cup. The cup might stain permanently after a while but that doesn't mean it's dirty! It's completely normal for some blood stains to remain on the cup! There are many helpful videos on KZitem to help you with getting it in and out as well :)

They have a thicker edge, which works like... Well, like a cork you'd put in a bottle to close it xD and it won't move unless you *squeeze* it, then you can remove it easily. I used to have flows so heavy I suffered from anemia, I had to use tampon + thick pad and change it every 3-4 hours. I got the smallest cup first, it didn't leak at all... Until I pulled it out. It just had not enough space to collect all the blood, but it still "clogged" and stopped the bleeding. I found out that the biggest one was fitting for me, and I will never, ever regret it nor use anything else. It's much more comfortable, sometimes I even forgot I had it lol. It's safe for the night, you can go swimming, and somehow, the cramps I always had got better. I don't use it for now, because, as I mentioned above, my flow caused anemia and I'm on pills that fully suppress my period, but I still carry an emergency cup with me everywhere. So, if you had a chance to try it out, don't be scared. Either your life will get so much better during period or it won't work out. Nothing to lose, a lot to gain

It's magic. When you get it in place it gently locks in position with a kind of seal, like a suction cup against your inner walls. Then you are free to cartwheel away and it won't spill. And later when you are ready to remove it you can release the seal with a little squeeze and fold of the cup. Very cool once you get the hang of it ✌️

@@Butterbee1186 Hi ButterBee, Try this: gently release any suction with a squeeze and the cup should move down easily with a little encouragement. When the cup is near enough to the entrance use some paper to get a really good grip on the stem with one hand. Use your other hand's thumb and fingertips to fold the cup, ready to navigate the narrow opening without pain. Now it can't spring open because you have it perfectly controlled. Maintaining that double grip carefully pull the cup out by the stem. Go slowly. Once out, you'll be able to tip the cup out. Dry your hands and the cup with paper. Then you are clean and tidy, and ready to begin again. If you are very fancy you might have a bottle of water with you for extra cleaning. With a little practice you'll be able to master this. It's about having a good grip of the folded cup and mindfully moving through the narrow section. Another excellent option while you are learning is to do it all in the shower. You'll be a pro in no time! ✌️

I explore my body and one night, I was so happy that I finally inserted it. I waited for my period this month and today I am using my cups for the first time while on period. I was so comfortable, but ofcourse, period cramps will not go away because we use cups right haha. It took me some time but I did it. I was motivated by girls younger than me who share their experience using cups. I was like "if they can, I can do it too". Know our own body will not hurt us.

here's a little suggestion to young people trying the cup: I started with cups at the age of 18 and the problem I faced was that after successfully inserting the cup inside, it would just never pop open, no matter how much I tried. And it was because I was afraid, stressed or uncomfortable with the device due to its lack of familiarity. And when we are stressed, our vagina clenches a lot and what helped me was to breathe and calm down. And after properly calming down, I pushed my vaginal walls outside with my finger and then circled the rim of the cup and it worked for me! And after a few cycles, using the cup was like child's play! So, don't stress over and calm down first to be able to use the cup properly.

To take it out you insert a finger inside the vagina canal, as far as you can reach (usually the point finger works best), while pinching with your thumb the bottom of the cup where the long them is (you can cut that one to the size that feels best to you, you should cut it high up enough so it doesn't bother you when you sit but not too far up that it's not easy to pinch with your fingers to get the cup out). After that try pushing the pointer finger one side (left or right, so that the cup can fold and lose suction to the vagina walls) and with the help of your thumb you can pull it out slowly and carefully (you never want to be rushed or too harsh with it). This is what works for me, what works for you may be different so try a cup out and see what you find best suits you (there's multiple explanations on how to take the cup out in the package that the cup comes in, for every single cup brand, no matter what one you buy, so you can also try any of them you see written on the box and decide what you like most), and yes your two fingers that ate being used will get a little dirty, but it's okay because while you rinse and clean the period cup before putting it back in you can also wash your hands and clean both and you will get used to it at the end of the day. Also, a period cup suctions to your vagina walls, so it doesn't really move and it can't get lost or go anywhere in your body, it's too big to move and go anywhere anyway.

Pull it down holding the stem so it's like a wine glass. The worry about it getting lost is impossible, there is an end to the v, it's like a cul-de-sac. If it gets kinda stuck because of the suction or angle, you just squeeze the stem and push down like you're going #2 and it comes out enough for you to squeeze
