Which menstrual cup?

6 replies

Having not had periods for 10 years due to hormonal contraception I'll be having my coil taken out soon and will be back to having periods. I have ordered some period pants and a couple of brands of reusable pads to try (Cheekywipes and Bloom & Nora) but would also like to use a menstrual cup.
I did have a mooncup in my late teens but haven't got it any more. I got on with it well but am aware a lot more menstrual cup brands have come out in the last 10-12 years! Any advice on what to avoid or recommendations would be welcome please Smile

Meluna cup, there are various options to choose from, very happy with mine (I didn't get on with the Mooncup).

Following, because I hated the mooncup, it leaked and trying to get it out was a nightmare but I'd be willing to try another brand.

@AnotherEmma thank you! I'll have a look at that one, don't think I've heard of it before Smile

I've had a moon cup for years. I get on fine with it although it does leak occasionally. Woulsnt mind trying a new one. I've heard you can get them with a valve at the bottom so you can let the blood out without removing it, which sounds quite handy when in a public loo for example. I dont know what they are called though.

Floweret has a valve. Its bright pink too. I might try one

I bought and used an organicup last month as I thought worki g from home was the perfect opportunity to try one out. Iw as fully prepared that there would be leaks and/or difficulties getting it to open properly etc. but I had no issues at all, very impressed...only cost £14 from amazon.
