What would you recommend for someone who hasn’t used one before, I have an incredibly heavy flow for the first day or two. I’ve never used one before but your videos have really sold me on them lol.
I hated the cup. It was so uncomfortable to me and I couldn't get it to seal right. I love the disks. I don't feel it and it collects a lot. I use the ones you can buy at the store.
A cup never worked for me (leaked even on lighter days) and I hated the bladder pressure. What changed my life for the better is the reusable disc! Auto-dumping is a game changer!!! For someone with a heavy flow it is awesome! I can highly recommend using a disc. I use Lumma since 2 years and love it. Just had to cut of the stem completely as it poked me. Tried now the reusable Flex. Also good, but Lumma is way easier to insert for me. The Flex has a firmer rim and tries to open up while inserting and sometimes even tries to turn upside down. I only tried it as someone said that the thinner basket allows longer time periods before one needs to auto-dump on heavier days. I know one thing: I wish I had a disc much much earlier in life!!
@@jennaebradshaw1308 Sorry, I don't understand your question. If you want to know how a disc works, check out this video from Period Nirvana: th-cam.com/video/ye-vnVeDfCk/w-d-xo.html Watch her videos. She explains it all!
How do you feel about Divacups? I was having my period for 3 weeks straight at one point (bad birth control) and I wanted a better option than throwing out tampons all the time! I started with a Cora cup, didn’t really like and then moved onto a DivaCup that I love!
I have a saalt cup and I love it! I'm kind of curious with kind cup now. I also have a luma disc but I just can't make it work for me yet. Will give it a try again on my next period 🤞
My favorite is the Lalicup. I have their largest size. Although all cups do press on my urethra and partially cut off the urine stream. It’s uncomfortable for me to pee with a cup. I hated using a disk, every time I would stand up the disk would unhook from my pubic bone and dump out the contents into my underwear. I used a diaphragm in the past so I’m very familiar with hooking it behind my pubic bone, it wasn’t user error.
Wait so is the stem or the long part on the cup to make it easier to pull out like a string on a tampon? I’ve never used a menstrual cup before and I just started watching this channel
I do have 2 Saalt soft cups within my cup collection and they are my favs so far. Only have 1 reusable disc by Flex that I got on pre-order in March and love it but am curious about other discs now. My vagina started acting weird this year and was getting annoyed with cup use so disc seem to be the new switch for me. Had been using cups for 5 years now.
I would love to find my perfect cup but i am also scared to switch from my current one. It doesn't leak or cause pain.. idk in my attempt to find I might waste money
Wow... Yo estoy comenzando, tengo 1 disco (con extensión), tengo 3 copas tradicionales y 1 tipo globitos con extensión también y para mí día más intenso la copa tradicional me hizo el día pero el disco es muy cómodo...🙂🥴😆
Saalt, lena and lunette get recommended a lot in the cup quizzes as good average-sized cups. Saalt and lena have satisfaction guarantee and will give you a free replacement if you need something different.
Can i use different sizes of cup throughout the cycle bcoz on my 1st 2 days i have Heavy flow nd i am working soo its very difficult for me to wash again and again throughout my working hours
The risk is extremely low because the cup is made of silicone. Personally I have to dump out my cup several times a day on my heavy days and only once on my light days.
I been trying to find a mestrual cup or disc so I can save money but it costing me more money. I have try different size and styles but I start feeling nauseous in minutes and I feel so uncomfortable that will vomit. Plus I had to use a dangerous method to remove them.
What period device product thing do you recommend best for teens or younger women, I'm 14 and I absolutely hate pads they never work for me, and I've always been scared of y'know putting stuff up there? Is there any painless items I can try?
Try tampons, maybe get ones with applicators. They should feel about the same as inserting 1 finger. You can ofc use cups too but they're a bit more complicated + feel more like inserting 2-3 fingers. If you get a cup, don't get a sturdy model (which is what most bigs cups are).
I’ve tried the organicup in the sizes small and a and both of them didn’t really work for me. I think I might have a low cervix but I’m not sure how to tell. I have issues with the cups almost being outside of my vagina. And the stem will pretty much be at the opening even after trimming. Does this sound like a low cervix?
Do you have a Libby Cup review? I’ve just bought the small one as my cervix has become really low over the last year. I’m in the UK & it appears to be a UK brand but I can’t find many reviews.
It's not sold in the US and I don't have one to review. We've emailed in the past but as of last email months ago they don't have the required approvals to ship to the US because cups are a medical device
By using your finger Put it inside V and If Whole finger is going inside you need large if Half of the finger then Medium and if a little going inside then Small simple
So I have been trying to use the flex disc but it seems to not like to stay behind my pelvic bone. Any recommendations on what might work better? (I have also tried the flex cup and didn't like it cause it was really hard to remove)
Watch the video about inserting discs. Kim Rosas explains how to insert correctly. You need to aim downwards while inserting (towards tailbone). Maybe you didn't push far enough and didn't hook it good. Watch her video! The Flex has a very firm rim. For me the Lumma disc is easier to insert. I have both discs. Lumma very often had an offer to buy one and get one for free. You then could try 2 different sizes in case you can't resolve the issue with the Flex. But first I would give it more time to try.

I used cups before, but I prefer discs. My favorite is the Ziggy disc.

What do you recommend we do with cups that don’t work for us? Seems like a waste to throw them away.
You can give them away on their Facebook group.
Sounds gross but just boil it and resell it. Many people are ok with this since they're boil safe and that stops any sort of cross contamination
Had the same question, I tried a Flex disc (reusable) and it just did not work.
My favorite is the Lalicup. I have their largest size. Although all cups do press on my urethra and partially cut off the urine stream. It’s uncomfortable for me to pee with a cup.

😊❤ my favorite cup so far is the Lunette cup! It's from my Country Finland. ❤❤
Where did you get that cute flower box
I love discs that have a tab I can grab and pull. Otherwise, it's a fishing expedition to get a grip.
I definitely have to agree that Hello Disc is my goldilocks too!

This might be a stupid question but how long can you go with changing your menstrual cup?
You can wear a menstrual cup for up to 12 hours but it depends on your flow if you have to change it more often
Saalt Cup is my favorite👍
Which cups are best for young teens?
So many options of cups and discs make it so hard to choose from. I've never tried discs or cups but I'm ready to get away from pads and tampons.
Since seeing a gynecologist is a luxury to visit. What is tip do you give in determining location of cervix.
Question. How do you know if you have a high or low cervix?
I love my lunette:)
I would love to find my perfect cup but i am also scared to switch from my current one. It doesn't leak or cause pain.. idk in my attempt to find I might waste money
Wow i dint know there were this many options.
How do you know If you have low or high cervix?
Wow... Yo estoy comenzando, tengo 1 disco (con extensión), tengo 3 copas tradicionales y 1 tipo globitos con extensión también y para mí día más intenso la copa tradicional me hizo el día pero el disco es muy cómodo...🙂🥴😆
What one do you recommend for younger folks who have never used them
Saalt, lena and lunette get recommended a lot in the cup quizzes as good average-sized cups. Saalt and lena have satisfaction guarantee and will give you a free replacement if you need something different.
Wait so if its full with blood will it just like stay in you or will it start leaking or fall out?
Femme Cycle low profile… holds a lot but still works for my very low cervix
Can i use different sizes of cup throughout the cycle bcoz on my 1st 2 days i have Heavy flow nd i am working soo its very difficult for me to wash again and again throughout my working hours
What do you suggest for people who have a small entry point
I didn't know there was one for a low cervix. I'll have to try that one. The ones I've tried stick out slightly and are really painful.
What would you recommend for someone that hasn’t used one before but bleeds very heavily?
A disc. Changed my life for the better.
Should I get the hello cup, I was thinking I should because it comes in a small size for a light glow and low cervix
Are there still the risks of anaphylactic shock? How often do you change a cup ?
The risk is extremely low because the cup is made of silicone. Personally I have to dump out my cup several times a day on my heavy days and only once on my light days.
Which price
I been trying to find a mestrual cup or disc so I can save money but it costing me more money.
I have try different size and styles but I start feeling nauseous in minutes and I feel so uncomfortable that will vomit. Plus I had to use a dangerous method to remove them.
What if I don't know the height of my cervix (just wanting to try, not experienced)

@@PeriodNirvana That’s such a shame. Thank you for trying!
I have a question. How high does the cups have to go?
As low as comfortable. You shouldn't feel the cup inside you.
How do you know the height of your cervix to know what one to get?
By using your finger Put it inside V and If Whole finger is going inside you need large if Half of the finger then Medium and if a little going inside then Small simple
How do u know what type of cervix u have
What happens if you lay down while with a cup?
Thank you
I wish I could use menstrual disc like you guys coz me could not enter in my V not because I scared but maybe i dislocate it always
All the stems are too short
What’s your least favorite/most hated one?
The Hello Disc is her favorite and the Screw Cup is her hated one.
So I have been trying to use the flex disc but it seems to not like to stay behind my pelvic bone. Any recommendations on what might work better? (I have also tried the flex cup and didn't like it cause it was really hard to remove)

The Flex has a very firm rim. For me the Lumma disc is easier to insert. I have both discs.
