Hey guys! So I really hope this video answers more questions and concerns that you guys had in my last menstrual cup review of the Diva cup ( • THE DIVA CUP *WARNING ... ).

I want to say a special thank you again to all of you who have made this series so great for me, and I can't wait to share more with you in the future.

ItsJustKelli i love your channel. I’m a new subscriber and you’ve empowered me and made me feel more confident about my period and body. Thank you for the reviews you so they really help. Ppl will have there period for years if there lives and finding the right product is essential. I love watching your videos thank you. 😘😘
Her series should honestly be a MUST- SEE for every sex education class!
Amanda Williams i wanna save them and show them to my future daughter. That waybits not thier mom making ish awkward haha
Kelli and Presious Star pads are great for you women.
Pro tip: Rinse blood out of the cup with *cold* water FIRST because hot water "cooks" the blood and sets stains. Happy bleeding!!!
Black Dahlia great tip!!
Thank you! I was looking for a tip like this!
wow i never knew that
Happy bleeding lol
_bleeding can never be happy_
****When I said that periods were not a competition I just meant that shaming someone for complaining about their periods when maybe yours is heavier, or worse, is just not helpful and should stop. I didn't mean that you couldn't share your frustrations with your heavy flows here, or talk about your PCOS or ENDO. I know how helpful it is to vent and share, and if it wasn't for this community and being able to share my struggles with Endometriosis I know I would be lost, but talking down to someone because they don't have is as bad as you is just not ok. I have had to delete a ton of comments because either they would tell me to "stop bitchin' because you don't even bleed a quarter of what I do", or that my period isn't even a period which I think is unhelpful and honestly disrespectful. I still struggle with my endometriosis even though my bleeding isn't as heavy anymore, and one of the reasons I'm not as heavy anymore is because of all of the all natural products I've used and my healthier diet. Anyways, my point was to just be kind to each other and build eachother up and support eachother, not try to make someone feel bad because you might have it worse.
Thank you for this! I have struggled with endo for years. It got way worse after having my son. I hate when if i mention it around another female and they are like "well mine is way worse, there is no way you deal with what i do" With mine its hit or miss if i have super heavy flow or just "regular" (mine are never regular, just regular for me) If that makes since. lol. But I am really wanting to try the cup as i feel it might help me over time. And for me... I would rather have a heavy flow then the pain with the Endo. Have you found anything that helps you with that? Other then the Drs wanting to throw more pain meds at me. I hate taking anything unless i literally can't move and then I have to. so i usually don't. I am in my early 30's So i have talked some with drs about doing Hysterectomy but have not made my final decision yet. (After having son i was diagnosed with Secondary Infertility, so not having any more kids isn't an issue) Sorry for the long reply. Just nice to know there is someone who gets it.
Btw, when you're rinsing out your cup you should use cold water, and then switch to hot water once all the blood is gone. Hot water will set in stains more than cold water.
ItsJustKelli 😂I had no idea that women compare their blood flow as a competition.
ItsJustKelli preach. its so annoying when people say "stop complaining its just a period" but you never know what someone else experiences during their period
ItsJustKelli no complaints here. my flow is generally heavy when I fill mine up after 2 hours but I have to say that I'm jealous of your cycle. I have been using the natural route for period methods but my diet is horrible. thanks for your very honest reviews of this. it's great to see how it is for other people as well.
I think people confuse term hygienic with term pretty.
Those are two totally different things.
TOTALLY AGREE!!!
Its always struck me how woman can be so grossed out about touching their own menstrual blood but have no problem taking semen in and around their bodies. I blame the patriarchy.
missxchief exactly!!
missxchief add to that! sperm is being tested in skincare products. Bet they'd never try that with period blood 😆😆😆
missxchief AHAHA
missxchief blood stinks. Thats what does it for me . It smells like something crawled up me and died 😷
Yaaaaay!!!!! PORN CULTURE!
Im not grossed out at all of my own blood, I'm more afraid of the porn culture to be honest. Its the same culture that makes women afraid of their own bodies and all the natural bodily functions. Stop. Censoring. Natural. Women. :-)
"Periods are not a competition" YES
ScarlettKriss if it was, how do you work out who wins? None of us really lol
ScarlettKriss I haven't had my period in three months, and I'm not pregnant. People might consider my situation 'the best' because I haven't had to deal with a period in a long time, but I wish I would get my period already. I'm starting to think something is wrong.
Vic Blackwood go to the doctor
Sarah booked for Tuesday.
Vic Blackwood Go see a doctor but it could be your diet or stress. If your not getting enough fat in your diet it will disappear or doctors say if you extremely stressed.
okay. so you should know that I was creepily excited to see a new period video, first of all. second of all, I was talking to my boyfriend about how much I love these videos and he said he seriously admired the fact that someone could give this much detail just in order to help other people and I 100% agree! thank you Kelli for doing this series -- it's given me the confidence to try alternative products (:
I stopped mid conversation to watch this! Haha
lol well you and your boyfriend are awesome :)
Amie Bliese so true!! since watching Kelli's videos I've tried reusable pads and tampons and it's so much healthier for my body. And, I absolutely hate everything about a regular tampon. So I'm right there with you, thanks Kelli!!!
True (: I love Kellis videos so much, & I really appreciate that she chooses to be as open as she is. not only is it interesting to watch, but it makes me want to try cups & reusable pads & other products. I bleed really really heavy, sometimes to the point where I have to change my tampon every hour or less, I'd like to see if products like this could make that easier for me or maybe make it lighter like Kelli said natural products did for her.
Amie Bliese I 100% agree and feel the same excitement and love to see the detail.
idk about splatters in sinks but man I love taking my diva cup out in the shower and emptying it on the white shower base like its so dramatic and messy but really therapeutic to watch it be washed away. plus i think its great to actually see what the texture and consistency of the blood really is, instead of refusing to have anything to do with your own bodily functions.
OMG can we be friends!?
Lol
haha yes! i only started using the cup just before your diva cup video but before that i was so passive about my periods, like it was just something that happened to me, but now I'm more actively involved and up close and personal its just so great to get to know my body better and have fun with it. like its my body and my bathroom and I clean it anyway so people can deal with it. I'm so much more bothered by people not washing their hands at all in bathrooms than anyone washing any blood off tbh.
I don't know why people freak about that. Most people pop pimples on their mirror, flush with the lid up (near their toothbrush no less) and a myriad of other nasties, but freak about blood briefly touching the sink?!
I thought I was the only one!! 🤣
Here is my Lunette cup short and stout. I stand up over the toilet to pull it out. When it gets all filled up I tip it over and pour it out 😂😂😂😂
lol
lol
Oh my goodness this is great. I actually read-sang it... LOL
😂😂😂😂😂
Haha lol
These videos are priceless!! I told my husband about these and His first response was " it's about time"! He remembers when he was young how much the boys made fun of the girls for having periods. Our daughter is going to be 14 soon and he wants her to never be ashamed of her normal bodily functions. I homeschool my children and her 12-year-old brother has known about periods as long as I can remember. I have used these videos to educate my kids. I remember when I was young, the first question I had is what does having a period look like. I know not every mother may agree with this however my belief is , I am determined to change the stigma one child at a time. Starting with my own😉 I have stage 4 endometriosis. My kids need to know what my disease was all about so they could understand what I was going through . That's why I came to this channel. I appreciate these videos deeply!!!! 👌🏻So thank you Kelli!!! I think I live fairly close to you too in west Michigan 😉
Let's all admit that if men had periods, I am sure they'd be bragging about who had the heavier flow. I respect people who are uneasy/disgusted by blood/menstrual blood. However, people who are fine with bodily functions shouldn't feel bad about being curious. It's our bodies, and I am so happy to see videos showing other women's flow because it's nice to "normalize" our periods.
Hi Kelli-I'm a new subscriber. I'm post-menopausal, due to a Hysterectomy at age 35 as a result of Endometriosis and a large array of other issues. I watch your video's as a 51 year old, because I am fascinated with the options for women these days. I remember my mother telling me how lucky I was when I started my period at age 12, that I had pads that could stick to my panties, and I didn't have to use what she had to use as a teenager. She was VERY against me using Tampons, this was after the toxic shock syndrome scare in the 1980's. I eventually learned to use them in my 20's and they were my primary source of period protection for the remainder of the time I had my period. Now, there are panties, cups, sponges, etc! I think it's awesome, and I thank you for being so open and honest in sharing your experiences with these products for women of all ages. It's really a community service in my mind--I wish I could give you an award! I will be telling the ladies in my family to check out your videos. I've only seen one other RUclipsr who does such indepth reviews (Amy Nixx), but she hasn't been posting lately. (hope she is ok!). Anyway, just wanted to say thank you for your reviews, honesty and transparency. I'm glad we are developing so many options for such a horrible time of the month!
Thank you so much Beth! The fact that you'd sit through my long ass videos and then leave such a sweet intentional comment means a lot to me :)
I love my diva cup. I was that girl who bled through a super heavy tampon and super pad (wore both at the same time always) within a couple of hours. And when I started using my divacup, I realized I really didn't bleed as much as a tampon and pad made it seem! So when people say "oh, I'd fill up that cup" or "i bleed too heavy to use a cup", its not an accurate thought. Like I said, I used to have to have to wear a tampon AND pad at all times and I'd still leak through both and I usually only fill my cup 3/4 of the way. I usually leave my cup in for up to 8hrs on my heaviest days and stil don't fill it up completely. The divacup has made my periods so much more enjoyable when it comes to the mess. Also, our period blood isn't any grosser than blood from our arm. It is not gross to dump it in the sink. Just think, if you were bleeding from any other body part, where would you rinse it off at? I love your openness and honesty on things like this!
Whoops and I forgot to mention that I'm using size 2
ItsJustKelli i was wondering that the whole time! glad you put it down here!
i also use the lunette size 2, and i can assure you, it can definitely get filled! lol I've filled it in less than an hour, but i also have PCOS. not competing only mentioned it because you brought it up in the video. 😃
ItsJustKelli ItsJustKelli Would you ever use cups without the suction? Like Silky Cup? It would be really helpful to know your opinion
Ah. Thank you! That's what I came back to find out!
Sorry! I'' new to ur channel. Uhmm… you have kids?
Rae De Castro she has three children
You are just what we (women) needed, a voice to remove the fear out of reusable menstrual products. I use the Lunette and Lena cups, but I've been unsuccessful with getting friends and family on board to try either. I'll share this video because frankly, no one is so transparent like you. Thanks for being an advocate for menstrual alternatives. Cudos to you 👏👏👏👏
In case people don't know yet, the lunette wipes are just a biodegradable alcohol wipe. I know you can definitely find biodegradable alcohol wipes for cheaper too. Although I get wanting to use a menstrual cup brands version for the extra peace of mind. :)
I want to start with a thank you for your videos! I started my search for alternative feminine products and got my sister started as well. I don't understand why the stigma of period blood amongst women. we bleed and have done so since women were created!!! I won't be shamed ,disgusted or apologize for something I can't control. I get the gift of creating life in exchange for a period.. I'll take it !! be proud of your body, love yourself and all other women !!
I really LOVE the part with blood , you are the only one I watch that really review a product truly with every thing we should know , and I think the is the way anyone should review menstrual sups , big thanks
Don't rinse your cup with warm/hot water, it will leave stains! Rinse it with cold water, then wash with warm. Period blood is still blood.
thanks for the tip!
My diva cup stains, but I boil it after my cycle each month and it gets rid of the stains.
ItsJustKelli you can also boil in water with baking soda. Takes the stains away
I'm currently on my period and I thought the part in the thumbnail that says "Where's my cervix?" said "Where's my cereal?" and even though I realized I read it wrong, I legit still was like "mmmm cereal..." and now I am deadass bout to make some rice krispies at 4 in the morning. Why am I like this....
I'm twelve and me and my friend just ordered lunette cups I'm so excited! Thanks Kelli for helping me to discover all the period possibilities(:
Crystal Rock hey I’m about that age did it work for you? Any tips?!
@@crozhanna8982 The cup works really well! I used a lot of the tips that Kelli talks about. Lunette is rather small and only safely holds about 15ml so if you have a heavier flow, go for a bigger cup. I'm going to get Kind and see how that works. Hope this helps
"I don't lick the sink" #ClassicKelli LOL
You get me :)
I'm glad you mentioned the whole stringy snottyness thing. I started using a cup today and I was shocked because there was this long string of blood from my body all the way to the toilet. Glad I'm not alone.
Evergreen Tree No you are not alone. The snotty string is REAL AND ALIVE! 😅
Omg I'm not alone!! 5 minutes ago I was trying to figure out what was up with that
What people complaining about period blood being gross should think aobut is this: period blood is sterile until it touches the air.
This means the blood in the cup is sterile until you take out the cup (unless the cup was dirty to begin with. The only bacteria that might have fallen into the cup were those flying in the air.
I am considering more and more to buy a menstrual cup
mythologiefan i agree..get one!it is cleaner than you think and no more changing you pad or tampon in a public toilet
Just curious for 3 years on... Have you tried a cup?
I LOVE how nonchalant and unapologetic you've gotten with showing anything and everything! Thank you so much -- these are precisely the reviews I wished I could find but didn't imagine could exist. The honest and explicit talk about the way things look and feel and how they work vs. don't work is so helpful!
I've known about cups for a long time, but I've been nervous to try them out since I'm a lifelong pad user since tampons don't feel so great. It's nice to see multiple videos/days with you finding your comfort zone. I also like seeing how surprisingly clean they can make the whole situation. Since they've become popular, the idea of period panties has really appealed to me, especially because I feel like I've usually got a shorter, lighter flow, and doubly so because my period is HIGHLY irregular. Like... typically starting anywhere from day 23 to day 40 irregular, so "by surprise" is kind of a permanent deal. My cramps usually happen right as it's starting, so even that isn't much of a warning. That just-in-case feature is a huge plus. With your in-depth reviews, I'm less nervous about trying something new and hopefully discover a method that makes my life easier!
I would also like to applaud you in being inclusive by mentioning trans* folks and using words like "everybody" and "people" when you're thinking about it. And... random thought... I was kind of amazed with your first cup video just how liquid the blood is, like I was expecting something thicker.
Overall, thank you! And keep on kicking ass!
Just wanted to thank you for normalizing menstrual cups. I had terrible periods. When I switched to Diva cups 10 plus years ago, my cramps decreased, my flow was less. All around, my period became tolerable and even a nonevent. Thanks!
Pro tip, your obgyn may be able to measure you and suggest a cup. If they aren't versed in cups, just have then measure you. there are reference charts on google so you at least have a place to start.
Your period videos are fantastic. I love how you don´t censor ANYthing. It has been so helpful to watch your reviews. Thank you so much, you are awesome. And really beautiful.
The beauty of menstrual cups is that you don't have to take them out very often. I leave mine in all day and empty at night and in the morning.
Oh and the Lunette is the best cup in my opinion!
emjanes1 you must not have a heavy flow. Mine is very heavy, every other month and then super duper light the next month lol
Thank you so much for mentioning PCOS. It's such a little discussed female problem, and I was so happy to hear you bring it up in this video. As I'm sure you've guessed, i have PCOS. I've had all the symptoms since i started my period and was officially diagnosed at 20. living with this disease is such a struggle, not just on period days but everyday since it affects so many aspects of your life and your endocrine system.. I've used tampons since my teen years because i couldn't stand the "diaper" feeling pads gave me. my period is unlike anyone else's I've ever come across, it literally never ends. I'm that unlucky person that can bleed for weeks or months or years without it ever slowing down. Yes, I've been to numerous doctors, gynecologist, specialist, no one seems too concerned about it. They've all wanted to put me on birth control to level it out and call it good. I'm basically a band aid patient. It never in a million years would've occurred to me that there's chemicals in the menstrual products we use. I happened on your channel completely by chance and I'm so glad that i did. You have been such an inspiration to me. I bought my first cup (also a lunette) about a month ago. For the first time in two years my period finally quit on its own. My husband and I are so happy. Even though its a long shot were hoping that eliminating chemicals from our lives will give us a better chance at possibly conceiving a child. I've been told not to get our hopes up but they also told me to take stock out in the tampon industry so this has given us hope. I'll be 31 this summer and for the first time in my post pubescent life I feel like I'm actually in control of my cycle. Thank You so much for doing these videos and keep them coming!
I seriously can't wait for these videos every month. They are so interesting!! Thank you Kelli for just laying it all out there, super helpful!!
Anyone interested in trying the Lunette who is a supporter of Planned Parenthood - PP sells lunettes! Go into your closest health center to buy one!
geekxlove81 would love to support pp but the closest is four hours away /:
Lauren Baney aww, damn! I'm sorry. ☹️
geekxlove81 How much do they cost there?
Leilababy89 what lies? Please, do tell
They are PP supporters? Oh heck no, nevermind. PP murders babies.
Lol honestly if someone is that grossed out by cleaning your cup in the sink maybe menstrual cups aren't for them.
Kat Donovan right! Maybe two X chromosomes isn't for them 😆
Milani Briscoe I'm 13 and im learning about that in school I feel so proud that I know what you are talking about lol
Some people need menstrual cups because they are hemophobic (they have an extreme fear or phobia of blood). Looking up how people with hemophobia deal with their periods was how I actually learned what menstrual cups are. Some hemophobic people aren't afraid of their period because of the difference in consistency than with normal blood. However, other people with hemophobia are terrified of all and any blood so they have to try and wash their menstrual cups without looking at them.
Kelli,
I would just like to say "thank you" for your willingness to talk openly about a topic that all women deal with, but that many feel very uncomfortable actually discussing with ANYONE & EVERYONE in their lives, medical providers included.
I worked as a primary care provider for several years before needing to stop working altogether (for medical reasons) & I did many women's health exams...PAP smears, STD testing, family planning, breast exams, etc., & I wish I could have referred my patients to your VLOG so that they could hear about, & see a lot of things firsthand that I could not possibly squeeze into a 20 minute appointment.
I truly appreciate how comfortable & conversational that you come across. It was as if one of my long time friends was sending me a video that was specifically made for me, & this was actually my first time ever watching one of your videos! I had a hysterectomy young, so I no longer have periods, & therefore I do not look for any info on menstrual products anymore, but...I was just shopping on Amazon this AM & for some bizarre reason a menstrual cup ad came up, & since I had never heard of them before at all, I searched on Google & it brought me to you!
Keep doing what your doing as I KNOW that you are touching so many lives that you will never even know about! Keep being you, being open, being honest, & so, so, so real...THANK YOU!👍🏼
Take care,
Melissa😊🙏🏼💜
young girls really need more women like u....i think we all do. keep this up!!❤❤❤❤
It's so funny, I've gotten so use to your monthly period vlogs. That just yesterday I was scrolling through trying to find something to watch and thought to myself hmm think it's almost that time of the month for Kelli's period vlog 😂😂 Love hearing your views on everything you've tired and that you don't hold back with the honest truth and the gore.
Would you consider doing a video on marijuana tampons?? They are supposed to relive menstrual cramps.
bren herz I would be interested in seeing this!!
That's a thing!?!?!
I seriously need these!
TRACY WYKES I think she’s taking about the CBD suppositories!
@@camjohnson3523 nope, there are both products
This series of videos might be the most honest and helpful thing on the Internet, and they make me feel like I'm just casually sitting down with my best bud having a chat about periods, bodies, and period products.
Thank you for that Kelli ❤
Please do the FemmyCycle! It isn't like any other cup at all, doesn't work with suction, has a different shape entirely, etc. Pleeeease
Starstrid yes! I used to use the Lunnette but can't anymore because I have such a low lyin cervix and after my abdominal surgery last year things got all moved around and I feel it's even lower now. The only cup I can use now is the FemmyCycle cup!
Starstrid I just got the femmycup last month, definitely a learning curve since I have only used the diva cup before. I wasn't able to use it last cycle cause it leaked badly (turns out it was facing off to the side, it's round so moves around so easily!) and I wasn't home to give it a real go. Hoping to try it this go around cause I am a heavy bleeder and I like the design of the femmycup.
I agree with this. I'd love to hear your take on the FemmyCycle!
I've used the femme cycle but it make cramp real bad, now I use the lunette much better
Starstrid I bought the 2 sizes kit from Femmycycle and After 3 cycles I’m still have problems with them 😞 I tried to love them but really they are the only cup that always leaked on me, most of them happened when I wake up from sleeping huge mess always 😞
I just want to say that you are the first person I have heard to address the fact that there is stringy/snotty stuff that attaches to your cup and just will not detach itself from your insides until you actually intervene and wipe it away with a piece of TP/kleenex :D I am on my 4th cycle with a cup and LOVING it. There are little things like this, but whatever. Still so much easier than tampons! There is definitely a learning curve for comfort and process, but hey, there was with tampons and pads for all of us at one time as well! Love you Kelli!
ETA: your Diva cup video was what prompted me to finally try a menstrual cup. I had pondered it for a couple of years, but I literally ran out after watching your Diva video and bought one. THANK YOU!
LOVING your makeup on this video! Especially the lip color!! Thanks for being awesome. These videos have been sooo helpful!!!
Thank you!
I love these videos. They’re so humanizing and it’s refreshing. I am 30, and I was fortunate to have a few classes in school that educated us on puberty, and female menstruation and all that jazz. It was normalized to me at the age of 10. It’s come to my attention though that many young women today do not have that same education, and it’s scared me how many young woman do not know ANYTHING about their bodies. I even heard a girl saying she had no idea what her cervix was or any of that. It terrified me.
Yes period blood is a bit ick. I take birth control SPECIFICALLY to control my bleeding, but I remember the days of removing my tampons and blood literally splurting all over my hand and yes, it’s gross, but it’s also natural. It’s just a part of being a woman. It isn’t always “sexy”, but it’s real. Videos like these are so important in my opinion because education on the female reproductive system is not commonplace anymore and it scares me for the future of women. THIS IS REAL LIFE. Stop being grossed out by your REAL body
Hey kelli, if you wash the blood off the cup with cold water first, the cup will not stain as quick than if you use warm/hot water. When the cup looks clean (obviously small, microscopic remains will stay) you can go for the warm water.
Love your channel!! Cheers from Germany :)
Kelli - I started watching your channel about 4 months ago and have switched to the Diva cup and Morxy pads because of your reviews. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I can already tell such a difference in my flow, plus there are so many more advantages. It's much cleaner than I expected with no odor!!! Who knew?!?! Someone should really educate girls so they know their options and don't wait until their 41 (like me!) to learn this stuff. One thing I've learned is that I can remove my diva cup in the shower and pour it straight down the drain - no mess and it makes the cup super easy to clean up.. :)
Thank you so much for this series. You've changed my life and I no longer dread my period!
So happy you're having happier periods!!!!!
Now I'm curious about how much I bleed. 😂 I feel like tampons make it look like we bleed so much more than we really do. Also thanks for being real and showing us your blood! We shouldn't be weird about our periods!
Your first cup video actually inspired me to look into my own cup. I got the blossom cup (~25 bucks on Amazon) and I haven't looked back. No leaking. No ruined undies. Less/no cramps. No waste. Saving money. And I've also used it traveling. No packing 500 tampons 'just in case'. I've also started preaching menstrual cup to my friends. Most are freaked out by their own periods, so that's their loss...but thank you sooooo much for this honest talk and all of your videos.
so happy you loved your cup!!!
Thank you so much for mentioning PCOS when talking about period complications! So many people overlook it or think it's just something simple like hair growth or rough skin!
My sister and I both have PCOS and we have different symptoms. She actually gets ovarian cysts from it but usually very little or no pain. Her periods also come regularly and she's had 3 children.
I, however, do not have the cysts (to our knowledge) but I do get severe cramping and sharp pains in the area near/around my ovaries. I also get more hair and rough skin than my sister and I have become sterile from the disease.
I also have another friend who does NOT have PCOS or anything of that nature but her periods are far more severe than mine.
EVERY PERIOD IS DIFFERENT and no one can possibly know if theirs is better or worse than the person next to them. So, again, THANK YOU for these videos and for spreading awareness about period difficulties while you do these reviews!
You inspired me to switch to menstrual cups. Thanks you. My life has been changed forever. I also bought panties that are"leak proof" to avoid a messy situation. I will never buy another disposable menstrual product ever again. And I'm spreading the word.
"I'm not licking the sink when I brush my teeth"
I was just thinking that! XD
Thank you so much for doing these videos. Thank you for not be scared or ashamed and if you are thank you for getting over it and not spreading that "you should be ashamed of your period" thing that's spreading so much. Before i started watching your videos i didn't know that more than half of these products existed. all i knew of were pads, tampons, and liners. and only disposable ones at that. Thank you so much for being the Christopher Columbus of periods! you are awesome!
I love a lace top thong or any lace top underware because I'm a curvey girl and they don't dig in like other thongs or underware. I hate when it digs in and makes a muffin top..
Kelli, thank you so much for these videos. I've been struggling with disposable products since giving birth three years ago, but was very much in the "never" camp in terms of cups and cloth pads. Your videos have completely changed my mind and I spent (a lot) of money online after binge-watching your videos. I'm weirdly looking forward to trying everything - and not feeling itchy and uncomfortable any more. I really appreciate your honesty and willingness to show EVERYthing. It's what I needed to feel comfortable trying something new, so thank you.
I would love it if you tried the Femmycycle cup! Love these reviews. I got so excited to see a new one :) When I watched your first one I was so glad when you said you would show everything because I think that's important. I've also gave up on the embarrassment of my period long ago. I would even walk to restroom at work with my tampon in hand, not hidden. I'm 44, with kids. I have a period... Get over it lol. I think you are great for teenagers and young adults. Keep up the good work!
Have to give you the utmost respect, as women we do not talk about this enough. We should be grateful for women like you who are doing a great presentation. Can't understand some women, I came from an era that women's bits and periods were taboo and never, ever discussed. I'm 47 and just started using the menstrual cups and cloth pads for the very first time, through watching your videos. Keep preaching to the masses. As for the negative ones, jog on. All the way from the U.K. 😘😘😘
Try the Lena cup!!
Hi Kelli! My name's Alison and I love your videos! I have been using a menstrual cup (Yuuki Cup) for about 3 years. I love my cup, it is my best friend. I love how detailed your videos are and how well you explain the little things that women can get frustrated with when using all types of menstrual products. I'm so glad that you found a cup that fits you well! I also have a Lena cup and it doesn't fit me as well. If it had been my first cup I would have probably put off cups forever.
I would completely recommend menstrual cups to anyone and really believe that there is a cup out there for everyone! If anyone is looking for a menstrual cup and wants to try to find one that will most likely fit them here are a couple things that I did that I think really helped me pick the right cup!
1) Find your cervix! Knowing where your cervix is, high, low, middle, will really help you understand what length of cup you need.
2) Think about the strength and sensitivity of your pelvic floor. If you are very active and have strong pelvic floor muscles you will probably want a firmer cup. If you are sensitive (some people know they are sensitive to feeling things in their vagina from tampon use) a softer cup may be better because it is going to shape to your body more easily.
Hope those help!
I can't thank you enough for this awesome video! I have been debating getting a menstrual cup for over a year now. I finally decided to shop around and I found a great deal on one on Groupon a few weeks ago. I am just now trying it for the first time tonight after watching your diva cup video. I put it in while taking a shower tonight. I do feel the stem a little bit but that's it. It is super comfortable even though it's my second (most heavy) day. Normally I'd run out of the shower and get on the toilet to immediately put a pad or tampon on/in. I got out and grabbed a little t.p. and wiped myself. Nothing was there! I have a pad on just in case. My periods are super heavy usually so I am curious to see how this thing holds up. So far so good! Thanks for making me feel more comfortable with this process and please keep making amazing videos!
Hi Kelli, I just wanted to let you know since watching your video I bought the lunette cup and it changed my period life 🤗 I can't believe I was scared to use them before and then I watched your video and took the plunge and ever since have felt so free! I've told so many friends and they have bought or are now going to buy the lunette cup! It's amazing! Thank you for your videos 👌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I still have a very heavy period but it definitely went a bit down when I started using a cup... but I feel with the cup ir doesn't really matter, ir just gets more filled up and that's it. No extra mess, no extra nothing
Mayela A. Sánchez how often do you have to dump/rinse your cup? I have a very heavy cycle.
omg i was so surprised when you showed the blood but then i was actually grateful that you did it bc nobody does it. So thanks!!
The people that are all grossed out by period blood probably don't have kids. I had 3 boys in less than 2 years (yes you read that right) and I've seen some of the nastiest stuff because of them🙈 a little period blood doesn't gross me out anymore
I wish I had a resource like you when I was a teen. I'm 27 have two kids and wish I had someone at 14. Thank you for what you do, hopefully I can educate my girls so they don't feel like I did at 14!
You're like the big sister I never had. :D This was again very helpful, thank you. I might try the cup again in the future.
I always wanted a little sister :)
love you :)
Thanks for doing this review! I've got Lunette in both sizes. I started with model 2, but struggled with insertion and especially removal. While it was in, I could always feel it as a sensation of fullness. After talking to the shop owner where I bought it I got size 1. What a difference! I trimmed off the stem, insertion and removal are a breeze, I done feel it at all, it doesn't budge when I go number twos, no pressure on my bladder and I was totally fine when I had a heavy leg training session at the gym. I have to say though, that I can't insert it without lube. I'm using organic water-based one. Makes a world of difference! Just make sure that the lube is not oil or silicone based, otherwise your cup will deteriorate much faster. I'm loving my small Lunette, I don't need to use anything else (panty liners, etc) so my period is no longer a consideration for me in my every day life. Except maybe making sure that my nails are short during that week :)
"Periods are not a competition." Yaaaassss!
I'm new to cups, 2nd cycle currently in motion! I have watched so many of these videos but you are definately my favourite. So down to earth, honest, detailed and so open about your body & periods. Someone else mentioned using your videos as a sex ed tool and I totally agree. No one should be ashamed of their bodies or the amazing things they can do. I'm currently thinking of getting a second slightly longer cup to add to my Mooncup as I have a very high cervix that is slightly to the left and tilted toward the back wall and the ones that came up in the PACII quiz were Cotton Mermaid, Lunette and Lena so here I am researching them and yours are the ones I looked for first. Love your videos, huge thanks from the UK!!
Seriously love you so much. I'm so happy to finally have some more choices! I'm so thankful I found you.
Happy to help! Welcome to my channel!!!!
When she was mentioning the signs of her period coming, I was pleasantly surprised to hear her mention having heavier discharge. I've always had that (even more so since I've been on the birth control pill) and I always wondered if that was something that other people experience. I really love these videos because even though we have google and all that, I feel like it's really nice to hear the detailed truth in all it's glory coming from another woman without any censorship. I've learned a lot from these, thank you!
I use washable pads now because of that video you made. Never go back. Wish I would have found them 20 years ago
Party in my Pants pads are so so amazing. I really wish I found them 15 years earlier
Two words: THANK YOU! Thank you so much for reviewing these products and sharing your Endometriosis story. I have suffered a similar story and hearing I am not alone gives me the confidence to keep striving for better periods. Thank you for being so candid, real and unfiltered. My mother did the same and I am a better women knowing about my body and not being ashamed! YOU GO GIRL!
Thank you so much for that great series - I started using cups because of your experience and I just love it! Lunette is my absolute favorite! Go one doing your great work - love also your vlogs! Have a great week end!
You are helping a lot of women and young girls. Some parents will never have these conversations with their girls. Thank you!! You are amazing!!!
Hey guys! So I really hope this video answers more questions and concerns that you guys had in my last menstrual cup review of the Diva cup (ruclips.net/video/Kd8Uo_SusBo/видео.html). I hope you watch until the end because I do share some personal feelings on menstrual cups, our bodies, and just periods in general more than I have in other videos. I want to say a special thank you again to all of you who have made this series so great for me, and I can't wait to share more with you in the future.

The Lunette Cup (size 2) is a Firm cup while the Diva is more on the Medium firmness. They dont seem THAT different while squishing in your hand (unless comparing soft to firm) but your vagina feels the difference in firmness quite well lol I have not heard of medical grade silicon getting softer over time with usage, but I have with TPE. I was actually kinda worried that it might be too firm for you since you have been using the Diva cup and liked it, but since you work out like you do it seems it might be a better "fit" (firmness wise) for you. The Lunette size 2 is too long for me (the bottom goes past my pelvic bone and I feel it between my "legs") so I need more of a shorter cup (bell shaped Lena are perfect for me).
The washes and wipes can be used on ALL cups (Keeper cup, rubber/latex, is being discontinued) so there is Food Grade Silicone cups, Medical Grade cups and then TPE (MeLuna cups). As long as you use a NON-oil based wash for your cups you will be fine. The wipes are probably just like an alcohol wipe which I use at home (the kind you buy in the first aid aisle) and again you can use with any cup, but Im sure the Lunette wipes are bigger which would be better for when you dont have a sink right there.
As for the THINX underwear being able to tell how much it holds compared to a tampon....the FDA has actually measured tampons and how much they should hold (regulated). So...
Regular: 6-9 grams
Super: 9-12 grams
Super Plus: 12-15 grams
So your THINX thong underwear holds about 3-4.5 grams which is like nothing! lol
MeLuna cup company makes "shorty" which are for a VERY low cervix...the regular MeLuna cups are good for low to medium (possibly high) cervix. Seems like you have a medium high to high cervix if the Lunette 2 fit you nicely without trimming the stem so Ill be interested to see how the MeLuna works out for you.
Im actually going to get 2 MeLuna's for my younger sister who hasnt started yet, but showing signs she will soon (classic and soft). My mom had the talk with her while ago and she got upset ("I dont want it"), but she has gotten better with the whole thing over time. She really wants a cup now, since I have one.....or more so cupS lol, but my mom feels she is too immature yet. Plus my mom is more of the "your sisters and other girls use disposables, you will also" type of person..so I am actually getting a little "pack" together of the 2 MeLuna cups, Lunette size 1 cup, some cloth pads (which my mom wont let her use either until older), some organic/biodegradable products along with the "normal" disposables.
THINX is actually coming out with a reusable tampon applicator in March so I wanted to get that also for her so if my mom doesnt buy Natracare or something then at least there wont be plastic applicators being thrown away with the tampons. Im glad to be able to give her choices unlike what I had or to at least try them even if my mom wont buy them for her. My mom feels that cups are disgusting even though I have explained them to her...she was ok with the Soft Cups (because of the whole 12 hour thing) but the reusable just took it a step further even though I use Milton Tablets after each cycle to sterilize. The whole "eww" thing baffles me esp since she is a RN with 6 kids and has cleaned up god knows what during her lifetime....lol
Sorry for being so long winded....if you have any questions feel free to ask :)
Girl, get a neilmed sinus rinse, prepare it like normal and add the tiniest drop of baby shampoo or baby bath wash, shake it up real good and use it as normal. It will get rid of the protective booger film over your sinuses that doesn't freakin come off even after regular sinus rinses. You'll notice right away. You may need to do it again the next day, but seriously I only had to do it once after having a bad cold for about 2 weeks.
ItsJustKelli I have a question. My daughter is getting to the puberty age. Terrifying. What do you think about pre-teens using menstrual cups?
My daughter hit this almost a year ago and yes it is terrifying! lol but the more you show that you are scared the scarier it makes it for them. I don't push my daughter to try the things I try, but I do talk to her about her options just so she knows that when she is comfortable to try them then she can! Right now she is in no way ready for a cup because she just isn't there in her mindset right now and that's ok, someday she will be and I will be right here to help her choose and use one. Right now she likes pads and they make her feel more secure so until she feels more confident with her period I will continue to buy them for her and support her while building her up so she will be confident to try new things hopefully in the near future :)
ItsJustKelli Thanks so much. I was more wondering about the mechanics of it, like is she going to be too small for it and maybe should we just go with the reusable pads? I'm going to leave the choice of all of it to her, because it's very important for her to know she has control over her own body. I was just thinking that maybe those things should be left to the sexually experienced?
Hi Kelli, just wanted to say that your videos have been so, so helpful for me - you are so informative and thorough and periods are a normal thing that we all need to be talking about more and ending the social stigma on! It would lead to much less anxiety/myth/misinformation/embarrassment around periods for everyone, not just young girls starting. This is the kind of information children and young adults should be recieving in sex education classes. Thank you for doing this x
Your videos are amazing. I suggest to any young girls that are scared to try it but want to. They should show their mom your videos if they don't know what a cup is or aren't sure about them
My mom was like "GO GET ONE!" When I showed her the diva cup video. I'm 27 & I was just telling her about it and she said she would have gotten one when she was young if they had them lol.
🖤🖤🖤
oh my god, i am absolutely ecstatic that someone has put out such an in-depth, "uncensored" and wonderfully open/inclusive video on dealing with reusable menstrual cups/products, and menses itself with it's various side effects and whatnot. i literally just put my very first cup in 8ish hours ago and am SOOOOOOOOO happy with it.
anywho! so i'm stoked to have found your videos, PLEASE keep doing them!! [in total selfishness, i do kiiinda wish you could do a review on the super jennie-as that is the cup i'm currently wearing-but it *is* a large capacity cup so no wild expectations here, lol. (i'd like to echo in agreement re: no competition tho just to be clear!!!)
keep on witchya bad self girl! you just gained a new subscriber for sure!! have a lovely daaaaaay
can't wait for you to review the period panties from generation me! idk if i should buy the thinx panties or try out the ones from generation me at a fraction of the price :/
I actually already tried them! I am going to go into a more indepth review of them soon, but long story short, thinx wins hands down. They are not very absorbant but work ok for leaks, and they do not keep the smells at bay at all :(
Love your period reviews that's actually how I found you (diva cup review), and I fell in love with the fact that your so blunt and real about your period it gives me hope that woman everywhere normalize their bodily functions
Thank you for doing the video even though you aren't feeling well, I appreciate it!!!!
I appreciate you!
the shape of the cup makes a huge difference in comfort. the diva cup is very much a cone shaped and many other cups are more bell shaped.
i want to see a video discussing which ones, of all that you have tried, that you would actually use if youtube was not involved
what do you mean if youtube wasn't involved?
@@ItsJustKelli I think she means that if you wouldn't have to make videos on period products which one would you use permanently.
Menstrual cups ARE RETURNABLE at least the Lunette (90 days) and the Diva cup is
Also the Lunette company is so great will accommodate any beed you have (ie. if you got the large and needed a small it's free, if you got a pink cup but got an orange bag they'll send you a pink one SUPER sweet)
I just tried my first Lunette today and it was less than perfect but I mean not a bad first try I'm pretty educated in this area so that was good.
I'm not even interested in alternatives for my period but I love these videos. I love that you're very open about your period and you're very honest about how you feel about the product.
Have you tried using Clue? it's an app where you track your period. I feel like you would love it a lot.
My fitbit is most accurate. I had clue, period tracker and started using fitbit and somehow my Fitbit with no prior period information managed to get it right on time where my period tracker and clue said it was due 2 days later. 🤣
Yes!!!! I love these videos because they're so needed! Periods are still mainly a taboo subject and the fact that you're so raw and unedited makes it so useful.
Thank you so much for taking on this task because so many of use don't have the privilege to experiment and try it for our own.
Thank you for being so open and normalizing periods.
Please don't stop 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💕
Do you still recommend this menstrual cup? I’m a beginner. Lol
I love this series! You have really inspired me to be more open to alternative menstrual products. I bought my first diva cup today and I will admit, it was tricky to get the hang of at first but as soon as I figured it out, I fell in love! I am a plus size woman and was really intimidated by the idea of "rummaging" around down there- but if any of you ladies are in the same boat, DONT be scared! It's worth it. And up to 12 hours without changing out!? YES please!!!
Also I may have taken a picture of the first grand reveal and I am holding you responsible for that :p hahaha. ❤you!
lol
Thank you so much for doing these videos Kelli.
Thank you for watching them!
I don’t care what anyone says, you’re a bad ass.. this is only the second video I’ve seen of yours and you are amazing at reviews!(: thank you for being so in depth and open about your experience! Keep kickin ass woman! 💪🏻👍🏼
After giving birth three times, an ablation (which I told you about before) and god knows how many tampons I've stuffed up there, the idea of using a diva/luna cup terrifies me for some strange reason. You really do help reassure me and many, many other people I'm sure but I'm still scared to take that step
Don't be scared. Give it a try, it is most certainly worth the try. Once you get the hang of it you wont look back!
innocentsteph you could be right. It just takes a leap of faith!
Georgina P It's only scary the first time you put it in. Then you realize it isn't a big deal, but I suggest doing a test run with insertion and removal before your period just so you get a sense of how to do it.
Georgina P I was so scared too. It took me a long time to buy a cup, right now my only regret is to not have started using it sooner.
I was super nervous the first time I tried to use my cup. I attempted to put it in there probably 10 times before finally getting it in a comfortable position and then I totally understood the hype. Compared to tampons and pads, it's a godsend. After the first few trial and errors, no problems ever since!
I love your videos because instead of just talking about a cup and pinching it etc you actually take us through your cycle with it!!!! Yes all women are different and all our experiences are different but yours are so educational and real. I love your videos and your opinion on the cups. And I totally agree, women need to support each other's periods and just go with the flow. :)
I second the stupid lace fabric even on non thinx panties I have the same issue... holes
RIGHT!?!? Like whyyyyy!
I just want to thank you for doing period videos! I love them, and although they are long, every minute is worth it. I never in a million years would've tried the Diva Cup, but because of your review on it, I gave it a shot, and I love it! The diva cup, along with your positive speeches about periods, gave me the confidence to take back control of my period. So thank you thank you thank you a million times over again for making these period videos!!!
Laura I am so happy that you found luck with the Diva cup!!!! Even just one comment like this makes all the possibly embarrassing moments I share and criticism worth it :)
I love these videos, I finally got a cup after wondering about them for over a year and I'm TOTALLY converted!!! Good bye tampons and pads!! I'm really thinking about getting some reusable pads now though or thinx underwear to catch any boo boos
FYI, as someone who has tried several cups: Lunette is very similar to a MeLuna cup. And both are better fits for people like me who have retroverted uterus, very low cervix, etc. I can't use a Diva or an Intima cups. I always have to cut off stems as well.
Thanks for reviewing different kinds of cups.
love my lunette
It's just GREAT to see someone who talks about period without taboo related to it.Thanks for that!Looking forward to my getting my lunette
Thanks Kelli! :) Just subscribed, you may be sniffly but you are gorgeous!
Thank you!!! Welcome to my channel!
