    Hello ladies
    I'm using the Lunette cup for a few months now, and in order to get it out easier, I cut the stem a little but not completely, which allows me to grab the stem and pull it down a little, then using my pointing finger I create some air space to reduce the suction effect.
    The process is much more easier and quicker, but I had to experiment and learn how to do it properly.
    Just don't get disappointed if it does not work from the first try
    Lots of love to you! ^^

      @@ChelseaSB The FDA recommends replacing it after 2-3 years, because they want to avoid any possible lawsuit, but silicone cup can really last for aprox 10 years, since that's the life time of a silicone.

    I have the diva cup now (my second one). I find that when I have just begun my period the cup opens easily however when my flow becomes heavier the cup stays collapsed and isn’t so easy to open. I have a feeling it is because my vaginal canal becomes engorged and I have very strong pelvic muscles. My blue lunette is coming as I have been feeling for a while that I need a firmer option. I am excited. So glad a few years ago I decided to give menstrual cups a try

    Hah, the instruction paper of the lunette in finnish says "kivemmat menkat alkavat tästä" which is something like "nicer/more comfortable periods start here" The paper in english seems funnier lol In swedish it says "Säg hej till din snippas nya bästa vän" which is the same like in english (here in finland we get everything in the 2 languages) I just got it yesterday, I hope it is worth the 30 euros

    Oh my gosh I'm using the lunette as my first menstrual cup, and your experience is exactly mine. It makes me feel a lot better about my struggles with getting it out. Getting it in I find to be pretty easy and I kind of like that it suctions itself into place (for me).

  • @JennJCFilmFun
    @JennJCFilmFun 6 лет назад +6

    You're so helpful as usual! I'm thinking of ditching my diva cup which makes me sad since its so expensive, but sometimes it leaks, causes me discomfort, hurts to remove and because of all those reasons I wouldn't use it everyday during my period and would always have a pad on just in case, so I'm not necessarily helping the environment. I've had my good days with it, but I want to have a fail-safe menstrual cup, which I'm hoping is the Lunette.

    I suggest trying different folds if you have any physical pains or issues opening the cup. I just got the Lily cup after 3 years experience of using them and I had difficulty the 2nd time inserting. I was able to find a forum that suggested the half diamond fold and it has worked perfectly every time so far. Another big factor is stress and building tension up in your muscles. I used the c fold the 1st time and didn't have issues but I was also excited and not in a hurry. The second time I was rushed and it was early in the morning (I'm not a morning person). We all should also make note of our bodies and how they are working/feeling when using cups. This mode of thinking has greatly improved my usage of cups in a general sense. Yahweh bless everyone that reads this!

    Try a Me Luna... it's amazing! They have different end types i.e. no tip, stem, ring and ball. They also have a variety of sizes (s, m and l) for a perfect fit and colors to choose from, as well as how sturdy you want it (soft, classic, sport).

  • @tulekahju
    @tulekahju 8 лет назад +21

    I have Diva Cup model 1 & the Lunette Cup model 2. I snipped off the stem from both cups, because it caused irritation with prolonged wear. I like the DC but sometimes I feel like its too long at certain times of my cycle; which is why I got the LC. When I chose a model for the LC I was uncertain of just how heavy my flow was, because in the past there were days when id have to change a super sized tampon every 30 minutes. So I ended up choosing model 2 in fear that model 1 wouldnt hold enough. However LC model 2 is TOO firm (making my cramps intense from the pressure it caused) and as you said that seal is intense. Yes, I know to break the seal before removing but the rim was too harsh on my for g-spot upon removal. Inserting and removing the DC is easy. Whereas inserting the LC is easy enough (it doesnt fold as small as the DC can), but removal always caused discomfort because of the firm rim. Im considering getting LC model 1 hearing its a much softer silicone than model 2, but that wont be for some time. Plus, with my latest period the DC has caused no discomfort so Ill wait and see if that continues to stand true.
    P.S. I use kegals to position the cup and have had no need to use my finger to push it in further once inserted. Kegals also help with removal.

    You always make me feel better. I am on my second cycle with a menstrual cup and I have that very Lunette cup. It is driving me BANANAS. I want so badly for this to work, and i’ve Watched your videos multiple times, tri d multiple folds, but every time I manage to get it in, I can never get it to open up, or if it does open, I cannot get it to go up the way it should (and it hurts!) I have only gotten it in successfully four times in two period cycles and I will spend 30 minutes at a time trying. It’s exhausting. It’s good to know that even you found the Lunette cup slightly difficult to insert. Maybe I need to try another cup? I hate that though. Who wants to spend another $40 on something you’re not sure will work! But anyway, thanks so much for the videos!!

    I'm in love with the June small cup! I have a heavy flow so I have always tried a regular to large cup. I do have to change it more often but the fit and feel is perfect! It just might be my goldilocks cup. The Diva cup was my first cup as well and it was good and I didn't have any leaks, but I could feel it a bit to much. The regular soft saalt cup was the small feel. I think I just need the smaller size cups and just have to change them more often!

  • @jsredrose
    @jsredrose 8 лет назад +5

    I have a Ruby cup and a Super Jennie, both size 1. I got the Ruby cup first, and learned a lot with it. I decided to buy the Super Jennie because it was bigger capacity-wise, so it could hold more of my heavier flow days. I also have a very high cervix, and the Ruby cup would travel up so high that I would have to do some crazy contortions to get it out. I find the Super Jennie to be a bit longer, but the stem is shorter, making it difficult to grab and pull on those odd days when it's so far up I can barely grab it! I don't panic, because I know I can get either cup out eventually - sometimes it just takes longer than other times.

    • @jsredrose
      @jsredrose 7 лет назад

      The Super Jennie is the most convenient, because of my heavy flow and high cervix. I like the Ruby cup (smooth texture, easily pops open), but it's just not big enough to handle my heavy days. If you think you've got a heavy period (you soak through overnight pads or tampons easily) and a high cervix, then go with the Super Jennie. But if you have a smaller period or a lower cervix, then the Ruby cup would be better.

    • @jsredrose
      @jsredrose 7 лет назад

      I haven't tried the Lunette. The Put A Cup In It website has a comparison chart putacupinit.com/chart/ and it looks like the Lunette is slightly longer than the Super Jennie, which length would be good for a high cervix. It's easier to grab and remove a longer cup, and I've heard that the Lunette has great grips on the stem.

  • @duyguvulpes
    @duyguvulpes 5 лет назад +2

    I just got my lunette cup today! I have two more weeks until I have my period, do you have any suggestions on anything I can do to prepare beforehand? When should I boil it? If I wake up one day and my period has already started, will I have time to sterilize and insert it? Will it leak etc.

    • @ingrid7843
      @ingrid7843 Год назад

      Boil before insertion. I use a silicon cup sterilizer. I put it on my microwave for 2:30m and it’s ready. I just drain that water and leave the sterilizer cup holding the cup to cool down. If you don’t have that, use a pot but be careful so it doesn’t burn at the bottom. Some people use a whisk.
      Insertion tip: Try the punchdown fold, but rotate the cup so that little rim it’s towards your back, so you can push the cup and facilitate it to open. You can feel when the suction hits you, when it doesn’t, I push it down as I would do when pooping and pinch the cup. I can feel when the cup opens and suctions. (I have a soft cup so I need to manipulate it more to open, or leave it there until it naturally pops).
      To remove: be calm. Do a pooping motion, pinch the bottom of the cup and remove. You can throw the blood in the toilet and wash it in the sink with water and/ or with some intimate wash, with good ph and no smells, very neutral.
      There is no problem in inserting after your period started. Just wipe the blood that is deposited there, and if you are not certain of how it’s positioned, use a liner on the first days.
      Ps: just noticed now this comment was made 3y ago. Hope it worked for you and will keep the comment just in case someone needs the info anyway lol

    Hi. I have tried the cup ones but it did not feel well so i didnot use it for a long time ( because i had the mirena iud). Now that i took out the mirena iud i started again with rhe cup, but no matter how or what i do it will not pop open. I have to take it almost complete ou for it to pop open, but than i can not insert it. I tried different method of folding to bring it in, nothing helps. I think my canal is to narrow and i have the smallest cup.

  • @tanpinjen
    @tanpinjen 3 года назад

    I found that it was really easy to get a seal for lunette cup as compared to the lily cup. I have a high cervix so I bought the lily cup and it worked well for the first cycle but apparently my cervix moves downwards towards the end of my period (causing cramps as the cervix was too near the entrance of lily cup). I've never been able to tell if there's a seal for lily. It always feels crushed but there was no leakage. Inserting and removing was a breeze since the base was so close to the vaginal opening.
    Then, I tried lunette (smallest size). Inserting was a breeze too but my first time removing it was traumatic because I couldn't grab the base as easily, which lead to tension and muscle clenching, which means the cup isn't coming out. Tried again when I've calmed down and removal was fine. It took longer than lily but I could remove it within 5 minutes after 2 tries (poop flex, relax, grab, wiggle, pinch base to break seal and pull). Suction is excellent as mentioned in the video. Had leakage but that should be due to my mistake of leaving it in beyond 12 hours. The cup wasn't full but I guessed the seal weakened? Not sure.

  • @ungphuc
    @ungphuc 8 лет назад +8

    So here is a review I get from Amazon. Can you please tell me if this happens to you?
    "- The Lunette has larger suction holes at the rim. Also easier to keep clean. I always had to clean out the Diva's suction holes with a sewing needle because they were so tiny.
    - The Diva cup has a really pronounced rim where the top measuring line is. This was also hard to clean and would easily collect 'build-up' under that ledge. The Lunette is much more streamlined and doesn't have any dramatic ledges or crevices."

      +sarahhtranTV Wouldn't it have been easier to insert and/or remove with the little handle in it? Seems to me that it's part of the intent of the design. Do you happen to know if there's a companion product/tool, for any cup, to help with insertion? If I were to try a cup I'd want something to assist me with that process, to insure I can get it placed properly without taking to long and getting ultra frustrated and giving up. Thx!

      tdginter I tried it with the stem on the cup (with both Lunette & Diva) and found that I could slightly feel the stem near the opening, so that is why I snipped them off. I can take them out just fine, the Lunette cup is just a little bit of a further reach is all :)
      Unfortunately I do not know of tool or product that would assist in insertion. It really isn't all that bad and just takes a bit of practice and time :)

      No problem and no offense taken... I'm using this cup for ten years already and sometimes I read online that women were in pain when they tried to remove it and this is basically a result of pulling the cup by the stem... The stem is not a necessary part of the cup, this is why you can just cut it off...

    Do you recommend trying the lunette cup or diva cup when starting off, I know it just depends on your body but for someone scared of what could happen which one is less intimidating but still holds it all

      Kate Rose The diva cup folds down super small. It's my first and only cup, and I find it works well. I'm a fairly petite person with a low cervix. Tampons never worked for me, but I love the diva cup!
      The only thing is, if you plan to leave the stem completely or partially intact, I hear the flat grip on the lunette cup is easier to grab.
