Review: This was my first ever cup. It took a little getting used to but when flo arrived I put it to work and it felt comfortable and secure (even if the first time I tried to insert it I had a mini panic attack because I was afraid it would be uncomfortable like a tampon silly me) I did have one little leak but that was my fault for rushing and not checking it was fully sealed (luckily I was wearing a panty liner) in that situation all I had to do was give it a little sweep around with my finger and it sealed into place properly. I haven't had any leaks since but have found that it does need to sit a little higher for me (turns out I have a high cervix) so getting it out proved to be a little challenge (safe to say I'm quite acquainted with my body now) for this reason I decided to purchase the original lily cup to see if that would be more beneficial for me as it's longer. I found it easiest to remove it by sitting on the toilet and I've never spilt it or dropped it. It can still be a challenge putting it in, I still haven't quite found the right position to put it in standing or squating so I've had to resort to lying to get it right (luckily I've been at home so not an issue especially as I'm only needing to empty it morning and night). I love that I can leave it in for 12 hours. When I removed it even on my heaviest day (usually end of day one and day two) it was only about half full a definite improvement on the copious pads I would go through. It feels secure and for someone who hasn't been able to use tampons due to how much they cause me pain, dry me out, that annoying little string and the smell (same issue for pads minus the pain but more mess) this has been a life saver. I also love how it is so compact and it doesn't collapse easily as it's fairly rigid. I have to really press to get it to collapse so I'm not sure what's happening to some people :S. I don't notice it when it's in unless I really think about it. I have occasionally gotten what feels like air bubbles but they come out quickly with a few kegels or you can press the side to burp it and they go away pretty quick) I think this cup is great for throwing in a bag if you are going out and know flo is due because of the little case. Definitely recommend for a beginner cup (I can see why it's aimed at teens) but for me this is going to most likely be a back up cup as it's just a touch too short for my body. Still 5 stars.

Review: I think foldable menstruation cups are highly useless. It is hard to put them in because they could be folded while inserting. because of the form, you can't be sure that it is unfolded and perfectly inserted. most of the time, it leaks tiny bits. The ring is quite helpful to remove, though. I wish I had bought a ringed one but not a foldable one. It can be a nice option to have it only for holidays, but since it is expensive, it will be my one and only cup until I give up using it :/
