Diva Cup Review

**I was sent the Diva Cup to review. I am not being paid and all opinions are my own.**

The Diva Cup! If you've heard of menstrual cups at any point, I'm sure this brand came up. The Diva Cup is the most popular cup brand out there, and for a good reason. It is made of a luxurious feeling medical grade silicone that is about a medium resistance. The grip rings on this cup work very well and it has a hollow, short stem. It is recommended that this cup is replaced every year, but with the right care it can last you longer. The Diva Cup comes in two different sizes; model one and model two. I own the model one. To see which size is right for you, see the sizing guidelines.

If I am being honest, I did not think that this cup would work for me. It is very mainstream and I have heard that many find it too long. After using this cup for at least three cycles, It has become my favorite cup so far. I used the labia fold like I do with most of my cups, and it slid in smoothly. It opens pretty quickly after I rotate the cup. After it being a bit too long, I cut off the stem and now it fits perfectly. This cup has a capacity of 30 ml, so I can wear it a bit longer than my other cups on my heavy days which I love. All in all, this cup really surprised me and I am so happy that I have the chance to review it.

The Diva Cup can be bought online or in a store. In the USA, I have seen the Diva at Whole Foods. Check out their store finder or buy online to get your very own Diva Cup.

Look for this packaging in stores!

Femmycycle Teen Review

**I was sent this cup to review. All opinions are my own and are in no way influenced by the company**

The Femmycycle is unlike any other cup. It has a bulbous shape, a ring stem, and a no spill rim. It is made out of a very thin, clear, and soft silicone which makes it really easy to insert. The size of the teen is a lot smaller than I expected and has a capacity of 17. 5 ml.

I first tried the C fold with this cup but had trouble getting it to open inside of me. I then tried the Labia fold and it slid in easily. This cup has no suction holes but it still popped open easily. I recommend feeling around the base of the cup after insertion to make sure that it is open though because it did leak once for me. This cup worked great for my lighter days but on my heavy days I have to change this cup too often. The ring stem is my favorite part about this cup. It makes it super easy to remove. In my opinion the no spill rim didn't really benefit me, I still get blood on my hands either way.

I would recommend this cup to teens that have a light flow. It is really easy to use once you get the hang of it. This cup would also be good for women with a low cervix as it is a super short cup and the ring can be tucked in if need be.

JuJu Cup Review

Hello everyone! I have not posted anything in a couple of months now, so I will be making a long-awaited review of the JuJu Cup. Hopefully I will post reviews of the Diva Cup and Femmycycle soon. *This menstrual cup was sent to me for a review. All opinions are my own and are not influenced by others*

I receicved both the JuJu Cup Model 1 and 2. There is a big size difference between the two models, but I was still able to use both. I have mostly used the Model 2 as I have a heavy flow, but the smaller model works similarly.

The cups are made an almost sticky clear silicone which doesn't bother me. It is a smoothe cup that is finished nicely. The only downside to the construction of the cup are the grip rings. I found them useless. The grips are little flowers or butterflies that didn't help at all. It takes a bit longer for me to get the JuJu cups out than my other cups because of this. 

Insertion of the cups is very easy. I use the labia fold as I do with all of my cups and had no problems.   On my heavier days the Model 2 works well although I still only get a couple of hours. The Model 1 is perfect for my lighter days at the very beginning and end of my period. 

Overall, I am happy with these cups and would recommend them to all women. They are made out of quality materials and make your period all that more bearable. 

Lunette Cup Review

      

I purchased my Model 1 Lunette cup in August of 2015. This was my first cup that I ever bought and it met all of my expectations. The Lunette company has AMAZING customer service. My original cup became lost in the mail, and within a few days after I contacted them, my new Lunette came. Along with the cup I bought cup wipes for on the go.  I have not had to change my menstual cup while I was out so I have mainly used the wipes for sterilizing my cup. I did have to trim the stem on my cup because I have a shorter cervix, but because of the grip rings the cup is still super easy to remove. 



Sorry for the dog hair!


This cup has what I would describe as a medium resistance, which helps it pop open very easily. It has four medium-sided suction release holes equally apart from each other all around the cup. It is also made from a very soft silicon. The only negative appearance-wise is that the cup is not finished as neat as it could be. This doesn't effect how the cup works or feels; it's just a small flaw.

 

                                      

                                     

Overall, I love the Lunette cup. I have used it for about five cycles now and it has worked perfectly for me. This cup can hold 25 ml up to the rim, so I use it for my heavier days. I haven't experienced any leaking for me with this cup, only it overflowing if I leave it in for too long. On my heaviest days I can wear this cup for a solid nine hours without it overflowing and on the rest of my days I can wear  it for the full twelve hours. When I wear this cup I cannot feel it at all and I forget that I am even on my period. This is great for school when I don't want to deal with my period. I leave it in for the whole school day and don't have to worry about a wet feeling or gushing. The Lunette Menstrual Cup is an amazing cup that I definitely recommend giving a try!
