What I Wore This Month













The month of March has been pretty hectic. School is ending soon so a lot of work has been piled up on us - not to mention my 17 day period this cycle. It was pretty heavy most of the time so I wore most of the cloth pads pictured above twice. I did go to the doctor and everything seems fine. If I have another cycle like this I will probably go on birth control.

I wore 10 heavy cloth pads. 6 made by me, 3 made by Pad Thai Cloth and 1 made by Yurtcraft
I wore 8 regulars. 5 made by me, 2 made by Pad Thai Cloth and 1 made by Yurtcraft.
I also wore 4 lights and 6 liners which were all made by me.

I used almost all of my cups this cycle and I will have a JuJu cup review up soon. I used my JuJu cup Model 1 and 2, Lunette Model 1, Femmycycle Teen, and my MeLuna Medium.

JuJu Cup First Impression

**These cups were sent to me for review**

Today, I received two JuJu cups in the mail. They only took a week and a half to ship from Australia. Amazing customer service as they responded quickly and answered all of my questions.


These cups are made from 100% medical grade silicone. It is the sticky type of silicone, which is new to me but I am excited to see how it differs from other cups. There are three cup bag choices; pink, green, and blue. You are able to choose your bag at checkout. The JuJu cup comes in two sizes. Model 1-recommended for women who have not had a vaginal birth. Model 2- recommended for women who have given vaginal birth.



The Model 2 is quite a bit bigger than the Model 1 JuJu cup. The Model 1 has a capacity of 20ml and a diameter of 40mm while the Model 2 has a capacity of 30ml and a diameter of 46mm. Although it probably cannot be seen through the camera, the Model 1 cup seems to be clearer than the Model 2. These cups both have a medium resistance.





The box that the JuJu cups come in blows any other cup company away. It is creative, fun to open, and 100% recyclable. The cups are also cruelty free and Australian made and owned.


I am so excited to try out these two cups- especially their Model 2 for my heavier days. Once I have used these cups for a couple of cycles, I will be posting a review. If you have any comments or questions, feel free to ask. Thank you!
