Me too!! I just bought my first "DivaCup" yesterday. I won't have have to use it for another 3 weeks yet however last night I was wondering 'Whats gonna happen when I go to sleep?' and POOF here's the answer!!❤️
@@elephanluvver I put mine in in the morning and take it out at night depending on how heavy the flow is I might need to change it in the middle of the day. 6-12 hours is reccomended.
Thank god, I’m not the only one 😭 I like to keep myself educated enough to help others since my sister suffered severe Endometriosis and people (guys, really-) think it’s weird or some fetish 🤷🏽♂️
Since I have a heavy flow sleeping in a cup is amazing, so much better than having to wear 2 pads to bed and having that mess in them💀 Highly recommend💕
@@user-lg6qr2bh9f most people (including me) sleep in cups without a pad :) it sounds like the suction may not have been secure on your cup or possibly at the wrong angle, even cup size may also play a part. Sleeping shouldn’t affect the effectiveness of the cup, but I do understand that everyone’s body is different and it’s a good thing to be aware of the possibility! :)
Yes BUT don’t be like me and stand up in the morning and the suction loosens just a little bit, and what feels like a litre of blood unleashes down the leg and on the bed. Not fun haha
If the suction loosened by itself, it means you didn't insert it right or you might be using the wrong size, because when inserted properly, it's supposed to create a vacuum effect that can only be releases with your fingers when taking it out.
@@statusworld1386 You're not putting the front part of the disk behind the cervix You're not tucking the back above the public bone The disc is too small The disc is too big
@@statusworld1386 + the suction holes on the cup are clogged + You need a wider diameter cup *PS not sure if you see my comment on disc as o can't find it lol Edit to clarify this comment is about cups lol
Hello!! Can you help me with something? I want to know if it's harder to remove the cup in the morning when you wake up. If it gets stuck or something. I'm trying to get used to the cup but I'm too terrified to sleep with it because I can't stop thinking that it will get stuck while I'm sleeping😅😅
Thank you for this! I heard so many weird comments about the blood go back all the way up which is so unreal no matter how many times I tell them that my cup is full when I get up from bed. These visuals and commentary are helping eliminate so much weirdness and inaccuracies about anatomy and periods.
Since I m using the menstrual cup it feels like I can skip the stress related to my period. At times you can even forget you are on your period because you can keep doing all the things you enjoy. Not going back to pads.
I used a cup for the first time a few days ago. I'm definitely gonna use it on my heaviest days, I love how you can pee w/o worrying if it'll get wet, who cares. But definitely don't have the guts to wear it on a light day.
Same thing. Just imaging a disc instead of a cup. The video is helpful for those who wondered where the blood goes. But it makes no difference using a cup or a disc.
i’ve never used a menstrual cup before! i wonder if it’s much more comfortable than having to wear a pad that feels like diapers (in which i’ll never in my whole life get used to but eventually i’ll have to…)
No, you don't have to. If you don't like using pads for your period, try something else. I always hated pads as they indeed feel like diapers. I highly recommend a disc! Such a game changer!!!
Been using a cup for 5 years now. The one time i was on vacation without a cup was hell. As long as the suction is right, I've never had a leakage problem. Maybe when I wake up and it all flows down. So I just rush to the washroon.
Wait so because our bodies tilt when we sleep the blood goes with the angle and that's why we always have a lot of blood come out in the morning?? I'm I getting this right?
Yep, thats why I always pinch my legs together and waddle to the bathroom first thing in the morning lol. Gravity makes all the blood that was stuck run down and there's nothing you can do to stop it
@@trashartist3905 lmao I love comments like yours!!! Most women totally understand and can totally relate to what you mean!! "That first morning walk to the bathroom .. GUSH...
I’m a dude , and I never knew a cup was even a thing .. just spent 15 mins educating myself because of this video 😂 just would like to know so I don’t look dumb or seem uncaring ln front of a girl , right ? Idk I feel dumb saying it anyway 😂
Honeslty just the fact that you're willing to educate yourself and you're not childishly disgusted by even the existence of a period makes you better than most lol
I LOVE menstrual cups, only issue is that I get thrush & bacterial infections more often as the blood has a higher ph & just sits there, and I don’t have time to empty it every hour.
You could try a disc. Auto-dump makes it so much easier. You don't need to take it out like the cup. You are way faster when going to the bathroom to empty it out. This would make it way easier for you. Cups never really worked for me. Discs changed my life for the better!
Thank you so much, I am looking for better period products to use my body doesn’t cope well with normal tampons or pads. So I’ll try the cup next time x
Yes. I use an intimina menstrual disc and have never had leaks during the night. I don't know how much you know about them but when you insert a menstrual disc you slide it backwards and tuck the front end up above your pubic bone to create an airtight seal. The intimina one is also usable during sex and have never had any leaks with that either. The only issue with the disc is that it isn't suitable if you have a lower cervix as it sits higher than a menstrual cup. I have no experience with other discs that are less reusable than the silicone one that I currently use, but I imagine that they don't differ that much. The only drawback with the Intimina is that it comes with a lot of unnecessary hard plastic packaging.
I should say, this is the best creation about vgg invention,lol. Especially if you've got issues with floods volume and the chem in the pads/tampon product.
Best thing I ever purchased… that or my robot vacuum… anyway it’s sooo nice having 12h between changes. With a tampon it was impossible for me to lie in bed in the morning, I had to wake up and change it. Not with the cup. Great invention.
This would be a sign the cup isn't the right one for you. Either the cup is too firm or more likely, it's suctioned to the cervix and causing intense cramps. If you decide to try another brand the quiz on periodnirvana.com is helpful and has cups or discs as results.
I love these cups. Forget ginger and herbal shots, these bad boys will set you straight in the morning. Easy to take on the go too. Doesn't go down easy though, and the gf doesn't seem too pleased however.
I am currently in the hospital, and havent removed the cup since yesterday. But it is already the last days of my monthly cycle, so just waiting for the last sploshes of the month
Please something like this underwater. I'm sooo happy with my cup, but my only leaks are when I swim/take a bath. The cup gets filled with water and then I just keep leaking bloody water until I remove it, I don't get it 😭
@@TheInkedScars Idk it just does 😭 and it's perfectly placed since I have zero leaks 100% of the time. It's only when I swim that it gets full of water and starts leaking
If i do a handstand with a full cup the contents go out due to the movement of the muscles making the cup unstick. So in my case, the cup doesn’t work for certain workouts
Before doing workouts empty your cup. Handstand is only an issue with a full cup. I recommend a disc as auto-dump makes it so much easier. It was a game changer for me.
Okay so I understand how this works and maybe cause I just need a different size, but I’m 16, used these since I was 13-14? And like I’ve had the same one but even when I first had them I always have to use a pad under it because they leak for me. I don’t know if I’m doing it wrong, but I’ve looked at tons of videos how to do it so I don’t think it’s that. Maybe it’s just the size, but idk. My size I’m using is a small, so maybe I need a bigger one. 🤷♀️ help?
It usually leaks when it is full. Either change frequently or go for a bigger size. Also run a finger along the circumference of the cup (as far as your finger can reach) when inserted to make sure the cup has fully opened. I used to face this problem, but not anymore after following all these steps.
I went a whole month with a disc in... I think it resorbed because I know it was DEFINITELY full since I left it in there after 1 day and my period lasts 5-7.
@@swamp6825 I didn't have cramps that time around and completely forgot about it. I had six kids at the time (3 of my own, and my brother's 3) and I didn't realize until my next period that came with cramps. My husband didn't feel it either, but he usually doesn't with PIV, (maybe because it's squishy because he's considerably endowed, lol)-only hand stuff. Life was so stressful during that time and we were only getting it done (quickly) twice a week. I went to put my other one in (preemptively) and when I couldn't shove it in there...I realized. Went to OB-GYN and she said it was fine. No infection or anything. I am a strong proponent for these. I wish they would bring back insync intra-labial pads. Those things were AWESOME to use as a teen-AND 100% cotton. I could go into the pool without needing a tamp or putting anything inside my body.
It fits just fine, if you purchase the right size for you. The boxes are usually marked if you've had children or not. You just fold it in half, insert, then check to make sure it opened fully, give it a twist and you're done. Clean up is simple too, just dump into the toilet bowl then wash in the sink (ph balanced cleansers are preferred, but unscented soap like dove beauty bar is fine.) They DO and will leak, they arent 100% leak proof, unfortunately, but far better protection than traditional methods.
They are responsible for creating suction so that blood doesn't leak past the cup. When the cup fills up with blood, the air-pressure inside the cup increases and is released through the holes. If the holes are clogged, the pressure cannot be released and the blood finds another way to flow: Around the cup.
I still don't understand how they say you don't feel them. Under perfect circumstances, I can forget about a tampon (Although those are very uncomfortable at first for me too) but I keep taking quizzes, measuring my cervix height, trying different brands and sizes but every time I put a cup in, it feels like a shoved a whole ass rubber ducky in there. And almost every time, I get new INTENSE pressure and cramps immediately after I put it in that go away as soon as I take it out. That's a whole lot of cup to be sticking in there and expecting it to be unfelt, it's not a portal to another dimension. I was so psyched about cups but I haven't found one I can tolerate and don't understand why. And yes, it is all the way up in there as far as it can go, I can feel my cervix clearly. Now I'm starting to wonder if I got a lemon of a vagina. Are other girls like holding their valuables and shit up there too? 🤔 I feel left out.
Maybe you're putting it too far up? It happened to me once and the cup suctioned directly onto my cervix and it felt like my soul left my vagina. Perhaps you could try a lower position? Best of luck, cups can be tricky and is not for everyone:)
I'm sorry about your experience. Cups just don't work for everyone. Personally i stopped getting cramps and couldnt feel my cup at all. I suggest trying period panties or reusable pads. You won't feel the wetness like with pads :)
Period Nirvana has a website with a quiz and an online shop. She sells all the recommended brands. Cups and discs. I highly recommend a disc instead of a cup. It's so much easier. Especially because of auto-dump. It changed my life for the better.
I've been using a menstrual cup for almost a year but i noticed that my flow is a lot slimier than when I use pads. My period also goes on for a bit longer and the last few days almost only consist of this "slimy" consistency that doesn't appear when I use pads, what is this and how can using a menstrual cup cause it?
😂😂the fact she had to put "you can't hear it." Means we live in a world were people think you can hear periods. I can't breath from laughing. Please men and women educate yourself with basic women function.
When I say something that makes go scratch your head it's because it's a question I've been asked more than once. Kind of like those signs that say "don't stick your hand inside the cage" it's there because someone definitely did that for some reason.

Okay,yes. That's logic. Are there really people out there worrying about this?
Can anyone tell why are there holes in menstrual cups?
To help with suction which keeps them in place in the vaginal canal.
They are responsible for creating suction so that blood doesn't leak past the cup. When the cup fills up with blood, the air-pressure inside the cup increases and is released through the holes. If the holes are clogged, the pressure cannot be released and the blood finds another way to flow: Around the cup.

And almost every time, I get new INTENSE pressure and cramps immediately after I put it in that go away as soon as I take it out. That's a whole lot of cup to be sticking in there and expecting it to be unfelt, it's not a portal to another dimension. I was so psyched about cups but I haven't found one I can tolerate and don't understand why. And yes, it is all the way up in there as far as it can go, I can feel my cervix clearly. Now I'm starting to wonder if I got a lemon of a vagina. Are other girls like holding their valuables and shit up there too? 🤔 I feel left out.
Maybe you're putting it too far up? It happened to me once and the cup suctioned directly onto my cervix and it felt like my soul left my vagina. Perhaps you could try a lower position? Best of luck, cups can be tricky and is not for everyone:)
I'm sorry about your experience. Cups just don't work for everyone. Personally i stopped getting cramps and couldnt feel my cup at all. I suggest trying period panties or reusable pads. You won't feel the wetness like with pads :)
I haven't used mine yet but it's miniature since I'm only 14 and wanted a tiny one but what it gets lost and I can't get it out 😭
Aye I am now more opposed to this cup.
+Drops dead+
Im scared im going to get it soon 😳
BRO WHAT-
Still kinda scary...
I'm scared of anything that is put inside my V...
I stick with pads...
Shouldn't. Risk if toxic shock. Period products should be changed every four hours. My friend almost died
Where would you recommend buying a cup? I forget about tampons easily, and pads are annoying.
Period Nirvana has a website with a quiz and an online shop. She sells all the recommended brands. Cups and discs.
I highly recommend a disc instead of a cup. It's so much easier. Especially because of auto-dump. It changed my life for the better.
If you have retroverted uterus you cant use menstrual cup. It doesnt work
You sound the skipper from Barbie 💀
What about sleeping with a disc in? Is it the same kind of deal? I was thinking with the suction difference it might be different
Can u get a menstrual cup at the stores like Walmart or target?? I never see them at mines.
I've been using a menstrual cup for almost a year but i noticed that my flow is a lot slimier than when I use pads. My period also goes on for a bit longer and the last few days almost only consist of this "slimy" consistency that doesn't appear when I use pads, what is this and how can using a menstrual cup cause it?
You might not see the slimy stuff when you use pads because they soak it up. Not shure though
Happens to me too, the pads just soak it up
Idk I feel it spill out and fill the area above the cup. I can’t handle it so I don’t use cups.
😂😂the fact she had to put "you can't hear it." Means we live in a world were people think you can hear periods. I can't breath from laughing. Please men and women educate yourself with basic women function.
When I say something that makes go scratch your head it's because it's a question I've been asked more than once. Kind of like those signs that say "don't stick your hand inside the cage" it's there because someone definitely did that for some reason.
