Read More I bought this nearly a year ago now, and it's still magnificent. It's snug, comfortable and does the job better than anything I've ever used. One piece of advice for the new user, though. Insertion is easy (remember to turn it once it's in to seat it well), but removal can be a bit more tricky. The best advice I got was to pull it forward, then use a fingertip to fold the upper lip downward just a bit so the seal breaks and it kind of slide/rotates out. It took me about 48 hours to get it down, but now it's effortless. I can't recommend this enough for anyone who enjoys traveling - or just in general. -

Read More Like the title says, I wish I'd found this thing 10 years ago. I've always felt, frankly, rather disgusting on my cycle in the past. With the cup I deal with it in the morning and at night and maybe once in between on the heaviest days. It is possible to bleed through if you fill the cup to the vent holes but even that is a small amount. I think other reviewers have already said it, there is a learning curve but it's worth it. Getting it out can be tricky but you get the hang of it. And yes, it's pretty messy on heavy days when you're taking it out but no more fussing about changing every time you use the toilet, worrying about leaks in the pool (seriously, tampons don't acutally work in the pool) when I use the cup, other than when I change it out it's like my cycle isn't happening. -

Read More Was contemplating getting this for a while, but the price is what kept stopping me. Used my dividends and a 20% off coupon. It's great, my only complaint is the sizing, I am going to get an additional in model 1. I kept going back and forth between the two sizes. I am over thirty, another aspect is I am a virgin and while size 2 fit and is comfortable, removal is a bit uncomfortable, I believe that would be easier with the slightly smaller model 1. -

Read More After reading some reviews I picked this up on a whim because I realized my period would come during my first backpacking trip in the Grand Canyon this past weekend. I couldn't fathom carrying a number of tampons and then having to carry them out. It was a great idea. Yes, there is a learning curve, but I only had one leak overnight. Other than that, even with a heavy flow I was able to hike out of the canyon (6.5 hours) without a leak and go on some day hikes the day prior. The only thing I would suggest is reading the instructions along with other reviews on how to use it and take your time. I'm pretty sure I only leaked because I was rushing to get to bed that one night. While inserting it I wait to hear a small whooshing sound indicating that it has inflated inside and then I am good to go. I will definitely be using this on a regular basis, not just for outdoor travel. You can't feel it in there and its not as messy as tampons or pads. I do recommend wearing pantyliners for extra piece of mind. -

Read More I am approaching age 50 and this is the best feminine product I have ever used. It provides just what I need for my continuously changing cycle/flow. Yes, using it takes some getting used to but I never worry anymore about inadequate protection vs. flow, or "too much" protection on light days. Starting with the first time I used it, this product has worked for me from start to finish and I'm not wasting money or effort on paper products that are inadequate and bad for the environment, or that are odorous. I feel so liberated! I'm going to recommend it to my daughter when she is older. One note: like others have suggested, I strongly recommend taking paper towels into the stall with you or having wipes on hand when using a public toilet. Things can get messy, but the piece of mind and freedom far outweighs the temporary inconvenience. -

Read More I purchased this product for this first time 6 years ago and have been using menstrual cups ever since (I've replaced a few times). My original intention was to decrease environmental impact and avoid the harsh chemicals that are used to treat cotton tampons. This reusable product is also much more economical. It took me a few cycles to get the hang of proper,leak-free insertion. Since then, I'm totally sold. When travelling, there's no need to pack a collection of tampons. I don't have to deal with the discomfort of tampons on light days at the end of my cycle. One pointer for a public restroom with stalls: bring a papertowel into the stall with you to give your hands a preliminary wipe. I highly recommend this product to all my girl friends! -

Read More I am floored.... and the inventor should be a millionaire. I was skeptical, but based on the reviews, decided to try it... because it really IS more environmentally friendly in principle. No leaks. None. It was easy to use, and can't believe I've gone so long without trying one. Everything else on the market leaks...so for me, there is nothing else. The freedom is also great (before this, I wouldn't kayak or swim on certain days). Like someone else said I would definitely pack wipes, but other than that, I am so very pleased REI carries this.

Read More I purchased one of these earlier this year because I have a slightly tilted cervix, so tampons become very painful to use after a couple of days on my period, and I'm too heavy for pads. I also spend a lot of time outdoors in the field both for work and pleasure, so it's always been a pain to pack tampons in and out everywhere I go. I was a little worried at first because, well, you have to get to know your body very well. It was very easy to learn how to use, and only took me a couple of days to get the hang of how to insert and remove the cup. It's a little messy on heavy days, but if you carry some wipes with you, that will help with a quick cleanup. I wish I knew about this product YEARS ago!! I will never go back to anything else!
