Re: thoughts menstal cups?

[Guest guest]

Hi:

I tried one several years ago and didn't like it at all. I found it very difficult to get in and once it was up there, it irritated me terribly. I think it sits up against the cervix and I had so much irritation, I went to the doctor. Getting it out was easy, but very messy. It's a cup full of blood. I wouldn't use it again.

My friends are on a big phase about menstral cups, and the lowest size sounds from what she says like it would be bairable. If people don't know what it is I'll write here what I know. It is reusable but it must be well cleaned. It takes the blood in to the cup so it wouldn't be on the vulva and doesn't just sit there like on a tampon. It's fairly inexpensive for as long as it is useful. It can be emptied and is easily cleanable. It can be worn up to twelve hours at a time. Unless you use the wrong kind of soap it is like never that it is the cause of an infection. It's better for the envirenment and doesn't have dyes on it that can earatate. That's what I know, but I'd like to know what other women know about it, thoughts on it, and if used did it help or hurt the vv at that time of the month. My period is one of the most earatating times for my vulva, and am strongly conciddering giving this a try.

I've heard from a friend that it can be folded much smaller now, and that with the stem it makes it easy to adjust. I don't know if this could have changed from years ago?
