Talk to me about menstrual cups

[StylishDuck]

I really want to try one but I don't know where to start. I've always just used tampons but I'm becoming ever more conscious about the single use applicators. Plus since I've had my babies, my periods have become a bit more irregular in terms of flow. I need something I can trust not to leak. I need one that's easy to insert because I'm a complete novice. All the instructions I've read online sound complicated

Watching with interest! I was looking at moon cups in the supermarket today but not sure how/where to start!

Have been using cups for over ten years. Mooncup first then a comfycup for the last two. I prefer that, the ribbed stem is much easier to get hold of.

Have scratched myself a couple of times when knackered but apart from that it's just marvellous.

The comfycup does seem to pop open much easier than the mooncup. Often it's not even in properly and opens up itself while I walk from shower to bedroom to get dressed. (My 3yo doesn't leave me alone during ablutions so cant be rummaging around too much.)
