@tribefenatic I would say at least try it, because if you don’t you will always wonder. But stick with the softer cups if you are sensitive. And go as small as possible for your flow. If you flow is really light, go with small Meluna, the soft variety, not the classic. Or a small Ladycup. If its average or heavier, try small Lunette, medium soft Meluna, Or SheCup. Even CupLee, if you can get hold of one (from Russia, you pay for them through Western Union).
@CaniS0210 — because the cups do not cause TSS, like tampons can. Also, some people are allergic tot he material of tampons. And Tampons dry you out, but these don’t. These sometimes also help with cramps, and can lighten your period for some people. They are better for the environment too, you use ONE of these in like a 5 or 10 year period, but billions of women with the waste of disposables is massive. Also, its cheaper in the long run, just like 4 or 5 of these in your whole life.
If anyone is wondering you can buy these cups at websites like: earthwisegirls they sell pads, reuseable pads and menstral cups, but i dont think menstral cups are too comfortable to use in my case i’d rather buy pads!
Why don’t they use a tampon..? It’s much easier??! Actually i don’t understand why they’re using those cups??
@MenstrualCupInfo thanks so much for all the help! I thInk I’ll look into the melunas, since they’re brand has so many options : ) thanks again, I’m really glad I found your channel
@TheTaraMonster99 — Smaller cups can actually be harder to reach if you have a high cervix… However, if you can reach your cervix, then you should be able to reach a cup, so Femmecup might work. The stem is really thin and flexible though, so its only meant to help you find the cup. You’re meant to only pinch and pull down on the bottom half of the cup itself. With a high cervix you might be babe to use a DivaCup, or any other brand. I would say focus more on how heavy your flow is.
@MenstrualCupInfo first of all, thank you so much for answering my last comment : ) second, do you think I would be able to use a femmecup? My cervix is very high up, I have very long fingers and can just barely touch it with my middle finger. Should I go with the smaller ones or would femmecup be ok?
@kals207 — you can look in the video description under the video, for a link t my word press blog. Let her read that, there are links on the right sode of the page with lots of other info. Let her read the main page, but especially other pages like “virgins and cups” or “still not convinced?” There’s lots of info there. Hope that helps
just a quick question: i’m kind of embarrassed to ask my mom if i can get one… do you have any suggestions on how to ask her or to casually bring it up? i’m 14 btw
@ellesprettyinpink — Well you empty it in the toilet. And they do make special disinfecting wipes you can use specially for a menstrual cup, it cleans your hands and the cup, no rinsing required. So no trips to the sink, you can do it all in the stall. You can also wet some hand-drying paper towels before you go in, and wipe the cup off with that after emptying, and your hands. Or some people rinse with bottled water in the stall. Lots of ways for it to be very private and clean.
@xBreeTannerx — you can wet some hand-drying paper towels before you go in the stall and take them in with you to wipe the cup out after emptying it. Then just give it a regular wash after you get home. In a pinch, that is just fine. Some people also keep bottled water in their purse.
@elizabeth98mustang — Check out my Word Press blog, there is a link to it in the video description. there is a page there for virgins and cups with good tips. Also let you mom read the first/home page of my blog. Being young, you should stick with smaller cups like small Lunette, small ladycup, small or medium meluna
@tehKettyBear — the angle doesn’t really change, because your torso is still upright. But sitting, things may be slightly more compacted.
@kendrabeatty — the ones good for heavy flow are large yuuki, large divacup, large lunette, large fleurcup, large JuJu
@TheTaraMonster99 — smaller ones are better for your age, like small ladycuup, small meluna, small Lunette
@macandease — stick with the smaller ones, like small or medium Meluna, small Lunette, small Ladycup
@HugTheHobos — Nothing really, lol. It might slosh around a little, but it just settles again.
@LivingInArt — They have cups made of TPE and Latex as well
I just don’t find this “cup” method very sanitary. I mean I don’t want to walk in on a woman washing her cup in a public bathroom sink because no one disinfects the sink after that. I think that’s very disregarding of other people.
Great video and the most “helpful” thank you!

HELP!!! I cant get it to open up when i get it in, and when i do it feels like its sliding out, ive been trying diva and lunette size 2… im 27, ive got 3 children… first off with the lunette… when i manage to get it in, its kinda uncomfortable.. not bad, just a lil bit, and then after a few hours when i go to take it out and empty it, its WAY up into my body… im not sure about diva i just spent atleast 1- mins trying to get it open… use the punch down fold!! please help..
@meszszs — If you are really short inside (a low cervix) then it will sit low. But its just inside, so it won’t be sticking out, if you get the right brand for your needs (Diva is longer, so if you’re short inside, you should get a shorter cup). If you need to, you can trim the stem so that its just inside. You shouldn’t feel it when you have the right cup and its sitting/trimmed right. I don’t. I find it comfortable.
i don’t understand… won’t it feel really uncomfortable sitting so close to the opening of the vagina? i mean will i feel it throughout the day?
Thanks for explaining cause I’ve never heard of it, we don’t have such a thing where I live.
I was wondering: how do you reuse it when you’re at school?
Because I think you’ll get some weird looks if you start to wash it in front of everyone.
