Really love this cup. I have a low cervix and it sits inside all my cups as it is dangly, with this cup it is the nice tulip shape so there is the extra lip to keep it in place. I have had no leaks even on my heaviest days, I do have to change it more often than I would like on my heavy days, but on a light day I can leave it all day and not even notice it is there. It is firm enough to get a good comfortable position inside and stay there, plus it’s harder to spill it when you take it out because it is firm. Not too firm that it pushed the bladder etc. The silicone is much better than TPE cups I have previously used. The air holes are slanted and easy to clean, one rinse gets them clean. The packaging is nice and the bag is good quality compared to others I have had. Overall I would recommend this cup to anyone. I have used meluna shorty and the TPE wore out quick and became more oval than round and started to leak, it was good at first. I have also used a moon cup uk, which pushed against my bladder sometimes and was too large. Finally, I have used a femmycycle for low cervix, which I am pretty sure caused damage and elongation to my cervix due to the extreme suction. But this Lena cup is comfortable and quality compared to all of these.

Bought this to try and do my bit for sustainability however, its been amazing for changing how I manage my period!! This product is amazing once you've learnt how to get it to seal but it does take a little bit of getting used to which for me took a couple of days/tries. At the beginning its very scary & you think it's going to be lost forever however just relaxing makes life so easy. It means you can go out, move, swim, dance, whatever you want, without fear and you can do that all day realistically without having to fill your bag with supplies and always be thinking of what time it is. Fantastic product. I've only used it one cycle so far and already think I've mastered it, however from my experience it can be a little messy & you just need to get used to the sight of blood and some on your hands etc. I wouldn't go back to any other product now. Feels amazing - almost like you don't even have your period.

I am all for sustainable period products and this has lasted me so long. It has unfortunately stained but as long as it's clean who cares. It did smell terrible at one point but leave it out in the sun for a few days and it goes. It's super easy to put in, you may look a little weird doing a few squats to make it pop but once in it lasts all day, and then you can just empty it and go again with minimal leakage. Way better than tampons or pads, small and portable, cheaper in the long run, better for the environment. Its less comfortable than pads or period pants, leaks slightly more than period pants especially if not done correctly, but there's much less smell than period pants. Definitely a good purchase.

This was my first cup I've purchased. Arrived promptly in good condition. Quality is good, and I was very happy with the colour as it was bright and vibrant. It does take time to get used to inserting and removing the cup, and with this particular cup I've never succeeded to insert it leak-proof. I am very petite, never given birth and have pelvic tilt, I found the cup to be too stiff for me. Although it opens up more easily inside due to being firm, it affected my ability to pee (I couldn't pee at all actually when the cup was in). Due to its firmness it was actually a bit too sore sometimes to insert. All that however is due to my own biology being incompatible with the cup, rather than a fault with the actual product, so I've given 5 stars. Currently using a softer cup, which I get with a lot better.

After a while of hesitating, I decided to give cups a try, so this was my first cup. It's brilliant—compared to tampons, it is more comfortable, more convenient, and I feel more confident about avoiding leaks. I was apprehensive about insertion and removal, but found the whole process easier than expected. I find the seal is created very easily once the cup is in place. Removal can be a bit tough at first: I found I had to 'bear down' to bring the cup further in reach, and then it's simply a matter of pinching to break the seal, after which it should come out easily. Do not simply tug on the stem without breaking the seal! Using a cup is less drying than tampons, you have to carry only one small thing in your bag, and there's no guesswork about which absorbancy you need. I also found out that cups cary a much lower risk of TSS. Of course, being reusuable, it is also better for the environment, as well as saving you money. I am kicking myself for not trying it sooner. I started using the cup towards the end of my period, when it was lighter. I think this helped me get used to using it with less risk of mess, so would recommend this to any others just trying it out for the first time.

Nice material, feels good quality. Probably really good product for some who can figure out how to use properly. Also quite hard to get out, but again that might just be me.

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.

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!

This review will be lengthy and detailed. If you're unable to discuss menstrual processes, please discontinue reading. Packaging: It comes in an easy to open box, with a cloth pouch to keep the cup dust free. I store it in the pouch inside the box. Instructions: They are included in a booklet and very plainly written. The explanations are also thorough and the recommendations for how to fold and insert the cup into the vaginal canal are very useful. Read through the booklet before use, as there are some tips and suggestions that I found extremely helpful. You might as well. Keep in mind that if you vary slightly from what the book explains, that is fine. All bodies are different, and you may need to adjust your method accordingly. Product: The cup is made of soft silicone. It's flexible and very sturdy. You will see a series of small holes at the top under the lip of the cup; those are for suction. You may assume the strength of the material will feel uncomfortable, but it is most definitely not. The bottom of the cup has an elongated nib used to position and pull the cup forward. It's also useful for insertion, to guide the cup into the most comfortable and best position to catch your flow. It is no longer than an average tampon and the width of the opening is not large. First Use: I washed the cup thoroughly with hot water and anti bacterial soap. The silicone bends and flexes incredibly well and I spent some time trying the flexibility before insertion. The booklet recommends trying the cup before your period to determine the best method for insertion, the depth and also to let one test out how to fit the cup without the mess of blood everywhere. I did this and was able to work with the "7 fold" the best. Use with Menstrual Cycle: Again, I washed the cup thoroughly with hot water and antibacterial soap and folded it into the shape of a 7, inserted with a leg propped up. I was luckily in the shower, so this was an extremely convenient time to start my period. Once inside, I had to insert a finger to move the fold over and then the nib to move the entire cup into place. It conformed to walls of my canal nicely and the flex of the silicone meant I could leave the nib out a bit and it is not uncomfortable. I slept through the entire night with no leaks. The booklet recommends removal for cleaning and dumping the blood no more than every 12 hours, which is perfect for me. Removal goes as such - relaxed muscle, find nib and move side to side, push muscles as one would expect to have to do during the birthing process, find the ribbed butt of the cup, SQUEEZE (I put that in caps because if you don't pinch the bottom of the cup, you are not going to be able to remove the cup at all and that could potentially tear the vaginal tissue so please remember to squeeze) and pull "bottom first" meaning you want to pull it out so that your blood will flow into the toilet. I noticed a ring of tissue around the rim, which is to be expected as discharge during period is quite normal. Please note that your blood should not have the usual period smell, but rather a slightly metallic odor and your blood may be black or a very dark red as the cells die quickly. Clean with soap and hot water, ensuring a thorough rinse and then insert as you had the first time. You're solid for 12 hours. Observations: I am 36, no kids. My vaginal canal is still rather small, and I found the larger size to be slightly uncomfortable, causing a very mild pressure in my abdomen. I cannot say for certain that this is due to the cup, as I generally get that feeling during my period, however. The product is not difficult to use, but relaxing and concentration are a must. I chose not to cup the nib at all, as I find it very useful when removing. The cup cleans easily as water and blood tend to bead right off. I have experienced no other discomfort, and am very happy to be pad and tampon free. Pros: There is no uncomfortable "period" feeling as with pads or tampons. I do not worry about odor, or soaking through a tampon, bleeding through my pants or ruining my underwear. I also don't have the uncomfortable tampon fit, which is wonderful! no panty liner, which is also great. The nib does not stick out at all and I basically don't feel anything unusual. I sincerely wish I purchased this ages ago. Do yourself a favor and purchase a cup, if not this exact brand. There is a customer service line, and they have a website with some amazing feedback and reviews. Con: I bought the large, and while it is a tad too big, I was concerned about the seal not working and this seemed ideal. I have a condition wherein my bladder lining is inflamed, causing me to feel the urge to urinate all the time. The cup makes it slightly worse, but it's not unbearable. And that's nothing against the cup itself, but my own condition. I will not be using pads or tampons again if I can help it.

Muy buena

Fellow women!! So I am pretty sure alot of you are interested in switching to menstural cups versus the regular pads and tampons. I can tell you that making this switch has made me feel so free and comfortable during my period, I can do anything! I did alot a research before purchasing my lena cup and am very pleased with it so far. First of all it is a decently priced, unlike other mentstural cups, especially if you are just planning on trying it out. It is also one of the best priced bell shaped cups out there. It is made out of soft 100% medical-grade silicone that is easy to bend, but holds it's structure enough to spring back to it's orginal form after inserting it in. For first timers I would recommend trying to practice putting it in a few times before your first time used during a period; RELAX and give yourself some time- swatting on the floor was the easiest way I found, but after a while you get used to it! After putting it in just make sure it did spring back and nothing is preventing it from making a complete sucction; low vs. high hanging cervix. It is a little scary at first and don't worry it won't get stuck up there, just use your kegel muscles to push it back down (If you aren't sure how to use your kegel muscles don't worry you will figure it out!). I have learned so much about my body ever since using the lena cup - I know heavy days vs. light days. No there isn't any period smell! Sure other people may not be able to smell it, but you, yourself sure can. Be careful when breaking the seal and pulling it out; don't pull to fast or you may spill it over yourself. Keep a good grip on the grip rings and slowing pull it out; without letting it slip out of your grip. Read the directions that come with it; very helpful! My experience! I guess I was lucky, because after practicing a few times when I wasn't on my period I was able to put it in correctly and didn't have any leaks! I still wore a panty liner just in case. After I put it in I literally couldn't feel it; I was shocked. I when through my day very concous of it so a few times I thought I felt it, but after a little while I completely forgot about it. I did start spotting a little bit on my first day, but it was due to a heavy flow kind of day- I took out the Lena cup poured the blood out, rinsed it with warm water and a little bit of soap and then put it back in - Volia no spotting. On my heavy day I took it out a total of 3 times, regular and light days 2 times. When I started spotting on my heavy day I thought I bought the wrong size - so don't fret you might be having a heavy day.Sleeping at night was one of the things I was really worried about; Make sure you empty the cup at the lastest before you go to sleep and really check to make sure that it is one correctly - I didn't make sure the first night, because I got cocky and I ended up leaking big time, the next night I made sure to check and empty it out right before I went to sleep and it was perfect! I was worried about the air holes at first, but in the end it didn't cause an leakage. I was very active during my period and saw no leaks, the last few day I was daring enough to go without panty liners (I ran out and saw no rush to run to the store). If it helps I have fairly regular periods that last 5 days - It is usually heavy during the first few days and lightens up. I feel bloated and sometimes experience cramps - the Lena cup did not cause any of these symptoms to worst. I am truly impressed with this product and will continue to use it for a long time. Tips: If you are wondering about soft vs. hard silicone - I would go with soft, because it is more versitle - When I was figuring out how to put it in and want something a little harder I would run the cup under cold water and it would cause it to get a little bit firmer for insertion and then soften up within the body!
