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.

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!
