Thought I Was Gonna Die, But Turns Out I'm Just Dramatic
I finally caved and bought a menstrual cup after years of hearing how “life-changing” it is. And listen… at first, it was life-changing — as in, I genuinely thought my life was over when I couldn’t get it out the first time. I saw my ancestors.BUT… once I got the hang of the fold-pop-wiggle-remove routine (yes, there is a routine), this thing became my monthly ride-or-die.Pros:- Holds more than my will to deal with people.- No more running to Target like it's a code red fire drill.- Low-key makes me feel like a responsible adult who recycles and makes appointments.Cons:- Learning curve is very real. I had to Google things I didn’t even know I had.- If you have nails, may the odds be ever in your favor.Tips from your internet friend:Try it at home first. Not at work. Trust me.You will question your anatomy. It’s fine. You’re fine. Give yourself grace!Now I’m that person who recommends it to everyone like I’m part of a secret club. Cup life chose me. Would I die for her? Probably not. But would I take her on a weekend trip and brag about how low-maintenance she is? 100%. No more cancerous cotton for me 🤪

Don’t even think, just buy!!
This is the first time I’ve used something like this, only having used pads and tampons. I have PCOS and have heavy bleeding for months at a time and this is a life changer!! I ruined so many underwear and pants by bleeding through pads and tampons are uncomfortable and I’m paranoid of toxic shock syndrome. With this disc, it looks intimidating to put in but it’s super easy. To make sure it’s in the right spot I do a couple kegels. To remove it, I push like going #2 and grab the edge with my pointer finger. The fact that it self empties when you push while going to the bathroom is amazing too. I did use a liner just in case and depending on how heavy I was bleeding a tiny bit of light leakage happened but didn’t happen frequently. I wish I knew about these years ago. You won’t regret getting these!! Once I finish this pack I’m getting the reusable one

Easy for first time users
First time using these and they are a game changer. I have been using tampons since I was 16. Never again. The first time use was a breeze, no different than inserting a tampon. I sat on the toilet, took a deep breath, then inserted the halfed disc as I exhaled making sure to relax my pelvic muscles. I used my index finger the make sure the disc was tucked under my pubic bone to prevent leakage.This is day 2 of my period, usually one of my heaviest days. I will update this review when it's over with.So far, I am very optimistic.

Game changer!
I. Love. These. I didn't have to deal with periods for over a decade, so I am essentially brand new to this whole business at 30-something (cups, discs, and period underwear were not options back then!). I wanted an alternative to tampons and pads, and was considering cups but liked the idea of something that could stay in during sex. It took me two days (and a nail reshaping, because long stiletto nails are not your friend here) to really understand the mechanics, but after that I had no issues at all! No leaking during normal activities, and putting a fresh one in right before sex led to a truly revolutionary, no-mess situation.Yes, I did send several texts the next morning telling my friends to try them.They didn't seem to help me with cramps, but they were certainly more comfortable than tampons. I literally could not feel them - no discomfort, no pressure, nothing. Amazing. I love that you can keep them in for up to 12 hours and that they create less waste than other disposable options. For me, definitely worth the higher pricetag.

Great for heavy flow but a little pain
Still figuring these out. I wore a reusable pad in addition my first try. Got me through my heavy day with minimal spotting. The autodump is a nice thing (thanks body). I changed the disc out for sleeping and did have a bit of leakage. Maybe from not peeing in the night and having some autodump? I have noticed a little bit of pain/pressure against my pubic bone and some with my bladder. I am hoping this is just needing to adjust the positioning yet I fear it might be that it is just too big.The pressure is uncomfortable and a bit painful. Something to be aware of for different bodies. I hope to find position that alleviates this or maybe a different disc for this thing is great in comparison to other thingsI have tried for my heavy flow days.

LIFE CHANGING
Not to be dramatic, but these are life changing! They have completely changed the game for me, and I recommend them to women all the time. My periods improved in every way when I switched from popular name brand tampons to non-toxic, organic cotton ones… but they improved even more once I made the switch to these discs. They seriously make my life so much easier during the week that used to be hell for me. They may take some getting used to, but I promise they are worth it! I wish I had these 15+ years ago.

Comfortable and easy
If tampons or the cup are not your thing, but you hate pads, these are the answer! I have used these for nearly five years now. They hold a lot of fluid, but you can empty it without removing it (because who wants to do THAT in a public bathroom?).I do sometimes experience very small leaks if it is very full, and some 'overflow' after emptying, so I would still not wear my white denim shorts during a heavy day, but there is no string to hide, and no uncomfortable dry wad to cringe about. You never have to boil them, and you can wear them up to 12 hours. There is a very short learning curve (it took me three periods to feel confident enough to stop wearing backup pads) but once you're comfortable with insertion, they are completely unnoticeable.
