Please remember as always, I'm not a medical professional. Just a gal bleeding monthly, trying out products and building her period arsenal. Sorry for all the blabbering and repetitive nature of this video, I'm a little rusty and well, I just talk too much :).*
Would you recommend the Femmy Cycle Cup for a person who has never used a cup before? And is it one of the softer (not super firm) cups that you have tried? I am wanting to try a cup, but am nervous because I feel like some look too firm and I would not find them comfortable enough.
I like the FemmyCycle, but it does have learning curve. I think it is soft but its only for people with low cervix. Which is why I only use it during the beginning of my period (Kelli also mentioned it here, that she does also). I go thought I was the only one that switches back and forth on cups. I use the LENA cup. They have great customer service too. I bought a cup that was too big on amazon, and they sent me a smaller one for free directly from their office.
ItsJustKelli...the "hold on hold on" waddle away with pants around ankles had me rolling. Then the "this is an awkward situation" part with your daughter was perfect. Life is full of awkward situations with our kids isn't it! Love your videos!
I’m 14 and this is the first cup I’ve tried. I’ve had my period for a bit less than a year. When I first used the cup I had a small and it was pretty easy to use. I left it in about 10 hours and the cup was half full with bold on the outside but no leaks or spotting. The next time I had my period I tried it again and my period was a lot heavier than usual ( For me the first year was pretty light). I left the same cup in for about 5 hours. I felt some “bubbles” as well and a bit wet so I checking in the bathroom ( I wasn’t wearing a pad since I didn’t need one before) and it turns out I was leaking really badly all over my underwear which I had to throw out. My mom then gave me her size medium or large Me Luna cup to try ( which was sterile!) I found this cup a lot harder to get in because it is bigger and firmer but it still wasn’t that hard. I put it in around 6:30 in the morning and had leaked right through my pad, underwear and jeans by 1:15. The cup was only about half full though. Luckily my friends were there to help me out. At night, I wore a large overnight pad and the big cup and still managed to leak through to the mattress ( I slept about 8 hours ). I haven’t tried another cups but while watching this video I’ve found things I can relate to like the bubbles. I haven’t experienced cramping that I can link to the cup. This is my experience as a 14 year old and yours might be different I just wanted to share mine. EJ P.S your videos have really helped me get more inside info on my period and cups which I think are great for your wallet and the environment and I’m trying to convince my friends to try them as well.
This cup is made of TPE and not medical grade silicone as the other ones you tried. Normally the firmer silicone cups stay rounded even after removing them but this TPE (which is also a very safe material) gets softer as it gets warmer inside and so it deforms to the shape of the vagina. (The cross-section of the vagina is not rounded nor oval, more like a crescent shape.) So this is why a TPE cup will look deformed after removing it. Medical grade silicone cups are more flexible, I personally prefer them to TPE. Oh, and I must mention: A LOVE your videos!
Your diva cup video is how I found you and I haven’t been able to stop watching your videos since! My day isn’t complete without my ItsJustKelli fix 😍😍(ps I hope to one day do my eye makeup as well as you. I have mono lids and still haven’t quite figured out the whole eyeshadow gig)
Kelli I originally followed you because of your period videos. I stayed because you’re a really fun person. But THANK YOU for doing these period videos. Thank you for providing a place where people can be curious and demystify menstruation. It’s so natural, it’s so normal, and I really appreciate that you’d put yourself out there for us.
I experienced the same! I had a medium and small from meluna and I started using it but didn’t sit correctly.. as a beginner I though is has to be that way. Then I found Kelli!! She showed me that wearing a cup is comfortable and I decided to get the sckoon cup... and I’m so happy with it. Sometimes I forget that i have my period! Thanks a lot Kelli
This is so valuable to the menstruating community! When I bought my Femmy Cycle cups, 4-5 years ago, I basically chose it blind. I did a lot of research, to be sure, but at the end of the day, actual feed back from a human about what the cups are really like was something that was lacking, at the time. Even now I am learning more about my Femmy, like the fact that there are a couple of new models, that I didn't know about, until I saw your review of the femmy. After doing some research and measuring, following that video, I discovered that some of the pitfalls that I had with my femmys may be due to me having a "low" cervix. Without open and candid discussion about our bodies, and their differences, I would never have even thought that that was a thing that might explain my issues. I have ordered a pair of new femmys and they should get here any day. Thank you Kelli!
I like your videos, for me as a man it's very hard to get information about menstruation because this topic is such a big taboo, so youtube is pretty much the only source to know about it. Thank you so much for your videos. ♥
I got a response from Lena Cup: Hello Kim, Thank you for thinking of us! As a matter of fact, we sent Kelli a cup a couple of weeks ago, so fingers crossed she posts a review in the coming months. All our best, Jessie LENA A BETTER PERIOD.
I’ve tried the divacup, the Fleurcup and the Meluna small and this is actually my favorite. I’ve had cramps, pain inserting and taking out my other cups. Also, I always had pressure and wasn’t able to pee. It’s the first time I didn’t have a leak. The MeLuna Cup is a dream! It’s much smaller and softer, for girls that had pain with other cups, this one will probably help you out! Yes, you can be smaller down there and other cups might be too large for you, even though other people say the contrary!
I love, love, my meluna and have used it for over five years. I have waited for this review and it makes me a bit sad that you didn't love it to. Haha. MeLuna has different hardness to them. Maby you could test out the more firm one? I have mine in black without any stem. 😊 I really like this series! Thank you 💕
I'm glad that i found you comment. I'm about to try menstrual cup for the very first Time, and MeLuna Is what i purchassed. So i was a Little sad to se Kelly's not positive experience, and also some other negatives on the comments. So you have me hope that my experience can also be positive as well. My period should be starting on a couple of days, so I'm very ansious and exited.
Oh my goodness Kelli! I found your Diva video today and I’ve managed to waste nearly half my day watching your vids and sewing when I shoulda been cleaning! I love that you are so open and honest about menstruation. It is so wonderful to see a generation of women finally breaking barriers and taboos about our bodies. I was recently introduced to SaaltCo through a FB group and have been dying to try a cup. My problem is that I’m a little older and have Hashimoto’s Disease which affects my body’s hormones. I haven’t had a period in 4 months, but I’ve gone through most of the other hormonal issues attributed to the menstrual cycle each month. When I do have a period it usually lasts 4 days and get so freaking bloody. Have you ever heard of OB Ultra tampons? They are literally the size of my thumb. On days 2 & 3 I have to change my tampon every 2 hours. Very rough on my at night for sure. I don’t want to spend the money on a cup if I’m not going to need it, but I wanted to share their info with you. The ladies of Saalt Cup Academy use their FB site as an open forum to members to talk about the cup and get real advice from real women. It’s pretty great! Saaltco.com
I like how you have shared, saved me from trying all those other cups. I have noticed that you can stop the leaking by taking a flushable wipe and cleaning around the cup and vag area after cup placement. It makes a world of difference. I have also noticed that my periods are shorter with the cups. I think the suction helps get that stuff out faster!!
This just broke my heart. I recently started using menstrual cups and the me Luna was the one I went with. It’s been my holy grail but I will agree when sleeping in it, it shifts a little. I wish they sent you a L because the medium I don’t think is recommended with multiple child births.
I’ve used MeLuna for many years. When I first got them they were the old shape (now the “shorty” size), and I absolutely LOVED them. Then they redesigned them a few years ago into the “normal” size they are now. The “popping” you felt I experienced after they redesigned it (and I got it in the sport thickness, big mistake methinks) I also felt like it just didn’t sit right sometimes and I had leaking often. I kinda drifted away from using it regularly because of that. They recommend the “shorty” size/length for women with a lower sitting cervix or ones who have gynaecological problems. Because my body has changed since starting using them I recently went back to the “shorty” size (in classic and soft) and I’m really happy with that length now. I also find the ring pull and stem are the easiest to grip. Perhaps try the classic shorty large with a ring pull end?
MeLuna cups are made of TPE. I have 3 and the oval shape seems pretty standard. Plus being TPE it heats up and moves more with the body. They go from small to extra large and have a shorty line as well for those with a low cervix (they also have soft, classic, and sport firmness levels I think you have the classic and probably should have tried the sport firmness). I used to love them till I was blessed to try a cup that isn't even on the market yet (which I love this new cup more than all the others and I'm dying for the finished product!) There's also a brand new cup design making it's way on the market and I wish I could remember the name! It was or is on kickstarter.
Shanny Banany lol I didn't give the best description, but that's the cup I was referring to. They're on pre-order to be shipped May 31st (and I really want one)
Yes, Meluna has so much variety that I actually wondered if she did their sites own quiz first or compared it with other brands (it is available to do on their EU site but oddly not on the US site) or if that is just what they sent to try it. I think the Meluna Large with a "stick" stem would have been more similar to her past favorites than the one in this video. Still this is a cup recommended if the long stems didn't work and a "v" shape with a rounded end rather than a full bell shape so even with the correct size, stem, and firmness it still might not have worked. They are just so different. And by "Keela cup" do you mean the one Flex came out with? Super curious about it as well.
I love being ecofriendly and reducing the amount of garbage I use. About a year ago I tried the lily cup, and the first time was fine, a little discomfort but I thought I'd get used to it, but for the second month it hurt so bad I never used it again! I sincerely thought that all cups would be like that. I'm so happy I found your videos! I don't even know how I stumbled across them but have been watching them all night! I plan on watching all of your period videos to hopefully find one that will work for me! Thank you so much for these videos, it may be awkward at times for you but it is so helpful for people like me!
Would love a review vlog just where you talk a lil on the pros and cons on each item you have tried . kinda putting it all together. I have watched all of your period product reviews and i still am on the fence on what to switch to. There are just so many to choose from!! Tfs!!!
Hey Kelly, just wanted to let you know that your TMI habit over several of these was super helpful! I went with "order a bunch of super cheap ones on Amazon, so at the very least, I got a good idea of firm/soft, short/long, etc before I plunked $40. I hit paydirt with the larger softer cups, 2 totally different ones are both just as comfortable - meaning I couldn't feel them without paying close attention. Thanks! And if anyone reads this and isn't sure, just go buy one or several and try it out! I wish I'd done that way back when these were new and I first heard about them instead of waiting so long! Oh the money I'd have saved, along with so many other benefits!
Omg thank you! I’ve been wanting you to try this for months!! You should have gotten the Sport cup. They pop out more and since you work out that’s probably better for you. I love this cup, but everyone does have their unicorn cup
I'm glad that the FemmeCycle cup is so good for you. It actually suctioned to my cervix and almost caused a prolapse. Scariest moment ever! I love your reviews they're s so helpful! I've had success with some of the stuff you've reviewed!
Kelli I will probably never meet you in person but I just wanted to say thank you. I have always struggled with menstruation issues and have always felt so much shame and discomfort anytime it came time for it to happen. Seeing another woman speak so freely about these things and even being brave enough to show the blood just left me feeling a little bit more able to become more comfortable with myself and my body. The first video that I watched of yours was the thinx panties video. I felt like they really did change my life and after getting used to cleaning them etc, lol obviously I got more comfortable with myself. To be able to walk around and not have to worry too much about putting on some toxic tampon or ruin all of my nice underwear really did change my whole life and the way that I think about menstration. Until I got thinx underwear ( not true, I started with the anigan evawear but did get thinx anyway), I couldn't even say the word " period " in conversation without giving it some kind of euphemism. I now am a proud cup user and I wanted to share that I am exceedingly glad that I stumbled upon your videos. I totally understand that you are more than just your period reviews, but from an unrestricted lady from Texas, Thank you!!!!
This is like your fourth or fifth video I’ve watched and women you are one brave momma. Thank you for you doing all this yuck stuff in front of a camera to help us understand cups better. Honestly it has really help with my little fear of giving it a shot. I’m still doing my research to see what’ll work best for me but YOU ROCK!!!! Thank you!!!!!
Hi Kelli - I just wanted to say a big thank you to you! I started watching your period videos probably about 9 months ago (which is how I found you) and bought my own first set of 2 cups from a Groupon deal. They were tough to figure out, but since I have such heavy periods, they were still a blessing to me. I'd been wanting to try out a Sckoon cup after watching that video, but waited to spend the money. Even after 5 months using my el cheap-o cups, I still would have difficulty getting them to open, but this month I finally got my Sckoon! What a difference! As a SAHM who also homeschooled, I knew I would go back to work when my son graduated, but I wondered HOW on earth I could work outside the home when my periods were so awful! Now I have less trips to the bathroom throughout the day (and night) and FAR less cramping! It was you who inspired me with the confidence to try a menstrual cup! Thank you so much! I'm so grateful I could nearly cry! Seriously! I could hug you!
Thank you so much for doing these videos! You have changed my period game and for that I am forever grateful! I tried the FemmyCycle cup off of your recommendation and I will never go back! I’ve been using it for 10 months now and I love it! You’ve helped me be more aware of what I put in my body and opened my mind up to using products that I never would have otherwise and I don’t dread that time of the month anymore. Ever since being introduced to the menstrual cup my period is just EASY. I also use period panties and reusable pads off of your recommendation and you have really just changed my life. Thank you again and to anyone that is curious about trying the cup I say do it! Try it and I think you’ll love it too, the femmycycle one more specifically is a lifesaver and game changer!! ❤️❤️❤️
Haha it's crazy to me that I found you by your Diva Cup review video and stayed because I enjoyed all of your other content. I think I've been following you for a good year now:) THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUCH GREAT VIDEOS KELLI:)
I'm really sad you did not like it, I bought a MeLuna about a year ago and it has honestly saved my life! Looking at the chart on the box I picked a size M and I think it is the perfect size for me. I never had a problem with it not springing back or not sealing properly since my first cycle and I find the material to be just fine. It was such a life saver, I had had knee surgery and worrying about my period when I could not go to the bathroom alone was not something I was excited about. I only leaked twice in over a year of use and I work out in it completely safely, even squats are not a problem! It also was way cheaper than 24$, I paid about 15€ (but in Germany where I bought it they tax differently all feminine products) and after all this time I can honestly say that I don't find it to be "badly" cheap. But I guess the point is that with cups you have ultimately to try for yourself, what is right for my vagina can an will not be right for someone else's! As always, thank you Kelli for giving us your honest opinion ♥
I asked Meluna about that. It is a TPU cup and it is supposed to form to your body. I had the air sensation with the meluna also... My favorite is the femmycycle.. :] Love your bluntness!
I recently got a MeLuna shorty because my cervix is pretty low. But, I can’t seem to get it to work without leaking. I have tried the diva cup and it didn’t leak, but it was too long :/ ? Any suggestions?
I just found your videos last week & now I’m hooked! THANK YOU for being so open & sharing your experiences with us! I’ll be 34 next month & there have been so many things you’ve said or shown in these videos that make me feel normal. I know for sure now I’m not alone! 😊
I ordered the femme cycle after seeing your review & im excited to try it out :)Have you heard about the ziggy cup from intimina ? It's suppose to resemble soft cups or flex cups, except the ziggy is reuseable.
Oddly mike did that to but Mine was 💯 open and they do only have two holes I got .mine to open no issues and fluid was going on right so mine u I got the shortys lol
Sarah Camidge I get that too but sometimes my cup isn't full. I thought that it was normal. I've been using my cup for 10 months now. But I don't know anyone else that uses them so I don't know if that means that it doesn't for right.
Lori Marquez I only have the sensation if I'm about to leak. I suppose if it doesn't fit right it would also do that because oxygen gets in there and it isn't sealed correctly?
I LOVE my FemmyCycle! You sold me on it. I don’t even have to use a backup product with it. Best out there by far. Thank you for what you do. ❤️ you’re channel and keep up all your work.
Just goes to show how different we all are :D It's my second day of using a menstrual cup. I chose Me Luna (small, otherwise identical to the one you have in the video) simply because a local retailer carried it and it looked alright. I HAVEN'T LEAKED. NOT EVEN ONCE \o/ Not the kind of spotting you have shown either. I went for a bike ride and after did a smear test with a finger before removing it. No blood on my vaginal walls (or outside the cup)! My cup does the same oval shape and the bulb at the end feels kinda useless but removing it is easy enough. I may punch some more holes in it (I'm learning two is uncommonly few) but so far the suction hasn't bothered me.
I definitely think this cup is too small for you! I have the size small, prior to having a baby it fit very well! Sometimes it was even too big and it hurt to put in! So there's definitely use for a small small cup :) Now I've had a baby (a biiig baby) and I definitely have to size up, I tried the small and it was just sliding out haha But overall I loved the Meluna though!
I no longer have a period cuz I'm on the DepoProva shot to get rid of them; my periods were so bad that I'd use 2 Super-Plus tampons PLUS a pad and run though all that within 2-2.5 hours. Turned out to be from fibroids and I had the worst removed, but didn't want a hysterectomy to get the others, hence the shot. I say all that to say that I STILL watch your videos (1) cuz they're so fascinating and you're such a wonderful host! and (2) so I can suggest things to my daughters and friends... Thanks; this' truly a great service you're doing for all women who need it!
I just wanted to thank you for your honest videos! Back in 2016 I was really unsure about using a menstrual cup until I found your video. Although I was a bit freaked out, your honest words and the footage of actually using it really helped me. Just talking and imagining something, especially on a topic like this, sometimes just isn't enough. I bought my first cup in October 2016 and it really changed everything about my period! It was actually a Meluna, so maybe it's time to get a new cup ;) Thank you Kelli ♥
Girl ! An hour of bleeding fills my cup half way(I use the sckoon) Lol you’re so lucky you’re a light bleeder! But Kelli! You’re so hilarious! “Whoa that’s a lot of suction!” That me laughing for a good while... my sckoon has some powerful suction too! ❤️ keep up with these great videos!
I really appreciate your period videos(I've watched the entire playlist), and I bought my first menstrual cup. I've never used one, but your different reviews gave me the urge to try it out. I really thank you for your honest reviews too!!
The MeLuna has been my first cup, and I love it. Since it's softer than most cups I think it works awesome. Working out it's worked pretty well. I've just gotten the saalt one to try it out, a bit concerned since it's firmer and I'm affraid it will make me cramp up more than the MeLuna.
@@vanessagutierrez7975 I have been using the Saalt cup for about two years and I really like it. It's firmer that the MeLuna, but for me it has worked great so far.
Hi there when i first heard of cup i was so grosed out!! This yr im trying to reduce my waste and thought id try... u and ur reveiws totally converted me thanks kellie
I love watching your videos! I am always thankful that you do these truthful videos showing everything possible on youtube. Your videos are very helpful and informative. I've been trying to find a new cup that I could use that has a bigger capacity maybe, since I do still experience overflow leaks. I am not huge "down there" but small cups feel too small for me, like you have mentioned in your video. I saw a new "cup" called Ziggy cup. It looked very much like the soft cups, which you already tried in your previous videos. I was wondering what is so different about the Ziggy cup and the soft cup. It states that Ziggy cup has a really really big holding capacity, about 2 times more than the usual cups. Would it be possible for you to review the Ziggy cup?
I was first introduced to your channel with your diva cup review. Now I have to watch all the cup videos! I've been back and forth with trying a cup for a out a year and a half. Just about the time I was going to buy a diva cup I found out I was pregnant. Now that I've had my daughter I decided to give my body a few months to get used to my period again. I bought a blossom cup 3 weeks ago and I can't wait to try it this month! Thanks kelli
I just found out about your channel and i just love your period videos. You’re so honest! Will you please do a review of the ziggy cup? It’s a menstrual cup similar to the softcup/flexcup but not disposable. Keep up the good work!
This is the only brand ive used! Ive tried 6 different models and firmness. Lol!! I never thought that this brand was no good for me i just thought i would try a different size or firmness. You had the same complaints i did tho. All of them!
So glad you posted this video. I bought a Lunette cup last month (first time cup user) and it worked very well for me, but considered purchasing a different brand to try as a comparison and was thinking about this brand. Maybe I’ll forego the MeLuna and instead try the femme cycle. My cervix sits pretty high by the end of my cycle so I’m a little worried about using short cup though. Love your videos!!
Well i dont find you boring repeating yourself over and over again with same product i have endo to and i find these videos informative i love them. You have no idea how many people you're helping who suffer with horrendous cycles .
I'm still trying to find a cup for myself... skoon was a leaky mess.. diva cup hurts... idk what to do but it costs a fuck load to try and buy 50 different cups for them not to work....frustrating
The first cup I ever tried was meluna medium at the age of 22 because that was the only '' high quality" cup available in India at that time. Total waste of money. Although the cup never leaked it is so hard to get it to open. I had to literally churn my insides for 5mins to get the damn thing to open. Only C fold worked on it no other folds opened up. C was too wide for me. It still is. Few months later I bought lunette and wow!!!! I noticed so much comfortable and I'm in love with small lunette. On my heavy days I use saalt soft because I need more capacity on my heavy days and I thought lunette large would be too firm for me. I don't recommend meluna to my friends because the TPE material is very difficult to pop open. But every body is different. What I don't like may be someone else's favourite. But I would suggest to spend extra bucks and buy a high quality medical grade silicone cup for 2000rs.
I really enjoy these cup reviews! I recently got the blossom cup from amazon. I was afraid to invent a lot on my first cup. It’s about $15. I’d love for you to review it!
Personally I like the MeLuna cup. I purchased it last week because I just had my period on the day I went to get it, i didn't except it to turn that way since I have hormonal disbalance and i wasn't planning on getting one soon since my period is not the way normal periods are. So i got my period earlier and the day it started i had nothing to do. Due to quarantine and etc. I couldn't order anything online so I went around my city to search for cups. I couldn't find any anywhere, but then i found a pharmacy at the center of the city which offered only MeLuna cups. I was so happy to find a cup so i went on and got a size M. I wasn't sure about what size to get but i had watched a lot of videos before deciding to get one and size M looked the way a normal cup looks (and i have a really heavy flow). I got it and went home so excited (i always used to get my skin irritated when using pads and it would get itchy no matter what I did, it got too dry down there so I really wanted to switch to something else). As i went home mom said that there's no way I could put it in, but i am so stubborn so i did it (it was expensive too). After i placed it in it was as if I didn't have it in, i couldn't feel it. As time went by I used to leak a little, but i also didn't unfold it correctly because I thought that's how it should be since it's sucking in and there isn't air into the vagina. But it's been a few days and I haven't leaked today, yesterday there was just a little, but as i said my flow is really heavy. I am still learning, but it feels wayyy more better than pads. I'm starting to get the hang of it. I recommend menstrual cups over anything else. 🤗❤️
I absolutely love your videos! I found them this week and they have really got me thinking about cups. I've been doing some research but hearing reviews from real people help immensely. I've seen a cup called the Fun cup and it has an interesting shape too it. The price seems fairly reasonably for cups at $40 for 2. I would love to see a review on them! Thanks again for all the great info :)
I had a similar experience with the meluna cup. I ended up putting it in my period kit i keep at my grandma's house. It was also uncomfortable for me whwn sitting in certain positions...im just very aware it's there. I did buy the livia, but i contacted them and asked if i could do a review and get a discount. The discount wasnt a big one. Like 20% and then i asked them where to send the review for them to put on their site and they said they dont do that. I did get mine for the lower price but it was still mega expensive. For me it's not an on its own solutiin when my pain is very bad but it is an on top if pain meds solution. They do have sales and if you review their gelpads and flower pads you get 20% off cupons for your next purchase. For me sometimes the gelpads make me itchy and they dont always last a full period, but the relief ive gottwn from pain is worth it enough that when they ran their valentines day sale i did buy a 2nd livia to keep in my period kit for my grandma's house. I visit her often and we live in diffefent states. I was worried i would forget my device at her house and that would be very very bad since it does help me so much.
MeLuna is made from TPE instead of silicone so it doesn't pop open very easily. That's why you might find it a little bit different to open it, and why it was squished when you took it out. X
I had a MeLuna but accidentally bought the soft one, waiting on the firm one in the mail. I like that they have more options for sizing, so far all the ones I have tried are too long, my cervix is always low so it hurts.
I keep trying. Been trying to get the hang of it for a year. I always have a hard time inserting bc my arms are short lol. And also have a hard time removing bc it’s so slippery! Debating on the femmycycle. Glad your back with the period videos
I wouldn’t mind paying $40 for a cup if I knew it would fit. I have two cups already and here is what I’ve learned. I have a really low cervix and abnormally heavy periods. Most low C cups don’t hold enough. I’m using my Lena inside out, it feels kinda annoying but I’m dealing with it.
You should try the Merula cup. I think it holds 38ml, but it's also an incredibly short cup. I haven't tried it yet, but I have heard many people with low cervixes and heavy flows rave about it. It's also shaped like a fish bowl and does not have any suction holes, so I think it's harder to leak with it too.
Hey when you announced that you were going to make another period product review on Facebook I actually contacted the Lena cup company and told them about you. I'm not sure if they ever got a hold of you but it would be really cool if you did a review on that the Lena :)
Kenzee Harmon I contacted them too last year urging then to contact her. I wish they would! I really like my Lena, though I did get some cramping occasionally. I have the sensitive one.
Have you tried the Saalt cup? It's my first menstrual cup. I like it, but I'm still not sure if I love it. I think that the company donates period products for women in need for every Saalt cup purchased, and I always love supporting a good cause. I'm curious to see what you think about it.
OMG I had the same experience with the Meluna cup. I really think it’s the material they use. It’s not as good a quality of silicone for sure. It doesn’t feel like it to the touch and it doesn’t retain its shape like other cups with a better quality of silicone. SMH. Thanks for your review! As always, love your videos!!! :)
yay i miss these videos and femmycycle is my favoret too, i like this type of reviews since i dont put on much make up theses are more helpful to me, thank you
Is this seriously what a normal period is supposed to be? I always thought my periods were long (at least 10 days) but never thought they were abnormally heavy. I have several nights each period were I have to get up to empty my cup because its overflowing. Anyone experienced this and know what some options are for helping this? Also Kellie what do you use to keep your cups from discoloring? (Or were the ones at the end ones that haven't been used yet) My Sckoon turns brown more and more each month. I have the Lunette cleanser but it doesn't help much with discoloration.
Vinegar boil will get rid of that as well boiling will sanitize way better.... Also it sound like you need to go to the gynecologist....Periods are not supposed to last that long.....
Dawna Hollingshead definitely very heavy. Speak to your doctor. You could try a naturopath/herbalist/dietician to help without hormones from your doc. It puts you at a risk for low iron to have a long heavy period
Wow I would definitely speak to your doctor that sounds very heavy. Before I went on the pill mine were very long about 8 or 9 days and heavy but never really had to change in the night
Meluna is my first and only cup. Had it for about five years at this point. I thought the leaking, deformation, difficulties getting it in etc. we're due to my ineptitude at handling a menstrual cup but now that I saw this, may meluna just isn't right for me. I'll do my research and get another cup to try out.
I love my meluna! Your videos made me try a cup for the first time, I find pads irritate me and my pelvic floor is so strong from years of horse riding I just push tampons out, I have the firmer sport version and I won’t ever go back!

Femmy Cycle Cup - amzn.to/2pkU9Ii

*It's so great to be back!!! Please remember as always, I'm not a medical professional. Just a gal bleeding monthly, trying out products and building her period arsenal. Sorry for all the blabbering and repetitive nature of this video, I'm a little rusty and well, I just talk too much :).*
Would you recommend the Femmy Cycle Cup for a person who has never used a cup before? And is it one of the softer (not super firm) cups that you have tried? I am wanting to try a cup, but am nervous because I feel like some look too firm and I would not find them comfortable enough.
I like the FemmyCycle, but it does have learning curve. I think it is soft but its only for people with low cervix. Which is why I only use it during the beginning of my period (Kelli also mentioned it here, that she does also). I go thought I was the only one that switches back and forth on cups. I use the LENA cup. They have great customer service too. I bought a cup that was too big on amazon, and they sent me a smaller one for free directly from their office.
Can you do a review on amazon period panties. Please
ItsJustKelli...the "hold on hold on" waddle away with pants around ankles had me rolling. Then the "this is an awkward situation" part with your daughter was perfect. Life is full of awkward situations with our kids isn't it! Love your videos!
I’m 14 and this is the first cup I’ve tried. I’ve had my period for a bit less than a year. When I first used the cup I had a small and it was pretty easy to use. I left it in about 10 hours and the cup was half full with bold on the outside but no leaks or spotting. The next time I had my period I tried it again and my period was a lot heavier than usual ( For me the first year was pretty light). I left the same cup in for about 5 hours. I felt some “bubbles” as well and a bit wet so I checking in the bathroom ( I wasn’t wearing a pad since I didn’t need one before) and it turns out I was leaking really badly all over my underwear which I had to throw out. My mom then gave me her size medium or large Me Luna cup to try ( which was sterile!) I found this cup a lot harder to get in because it is bigger and firmer but it still wasn’t that hard. I put it in around 6:30 in the morning and had leaked right through my pad, underwear and jeans by 1:15. The cup was only about half full though. Luckily my friends were there to help me out. At night, I wore a large overnight pad and the big cup and still managed to leak through to the mattress ( I slept about 8 hours ). I haven’t tried another cups but while watching this video I’ve found things I can relate to like the bubbles. I haven’t experienced cramping that I can link to the cup. This is my experience as a 14 year old and yours might be different I just wanted to share mine.
EJ
P.S your videos have really helped me get more inside info on my period and cups which I think are great for your wallet and the environment and I’m trying to convince my friends to try them as well.
Have you used the Meluna? I'm 14 too, do you recommend that cup to me? I would like to use Meluna but I'm not sure. Pls answer me :)
@@isabelled782 hi! I'm 14 and use a meluna s classic (Black one, loop stem) and i live it, def recommend
This cup is made of TPE and not medical grade silicone as the other ones you tried. Normally the firmer silicone cups stay rounded even after removing them but this TPE (which is also a very safe material) gets softer as it gets warmer inside and so it deforms to the shape of the vagina. (The cross-section of the vagina is not rounded nor oval, more like a crescent shape.) So this is why a TPE cup will look deformed after removing it. Medical grade silicone cups are more flexible, I personally prefer them to TPE. Oh, and I must mention: A LOVE your videos!
It's also safer concerning TSS
Also worth noting that Meluna's TPE is medical grade as well. It's the same stuff that's used to make catheters.
I prefer tpe because its easily recyclable although the silicone ones feels better in the hand
Your diva cup video is how I found you and I haven’t been able to stop watching your videos since! My day isn’t complete without my ItsJustKelli fix 😍😍(ps I hope to one day do my eye makeup as well as you. I have mono lids and still haven’t quite figured out the whole eyeshadow gig)
Julia LeBoeuf same here! I found her while exploring Diva Cup and just fell in love with all of her videos!:)
Same!
Julia LeBoeuf same! And im obsessed!
Julia LeBoeuf same
Me too. Now i want to try a cup too!
Kelli I originally followed you because of your period videos. I stayed because you’re a really fun person. But THANK YOU for doing these period videos. Thank you for providing a place where people can be curious and demystify menstruation. It’s so natural, it’s so normal, and I really appreciate that you’d put yourself out there for us.
I experienced the same! I had a medium and small from meluna and I started using it but didn’t sit correctly.. as a beginner I though is has to be that way. Then I found Kelli!! She showed me that wearing a cup is comfortable and I decided to get the sckoon cup... and I’m so happy with it. Sometimes I forget that i have my period! Thanks a lot Kelli
This is so valuable to the menstruating community! When I bought my Femmy Cycle cups, 4-5 years ago, I basically chose it blind. I did a lot of research, to be sure, but at the end of the day, actual feed back from a human about what the cups are really like was something that was lacking, at the time. Even now I am learning more about my Femmy, like the fact that there are a couple of new models, that I didn't know about, until I saw your review of the femmy. After doing some research and measuring, following that video, I discovered that some of the pitfalls that I had with my femmys may be due to me having a "low" cervix. Without open and candid discussion about our bodies, and their differences, I would never have even thought that that was a thing that might explain my issues. I have ordered a pair of new femmys and they should get here any day. Thank you Kelli!
I like your videos, for me as a man it's very hard to get information about menstruation because this topic is such a big taboo, so youtube is pretty much the only source to know about it. Thank you so much for your videos. ♥
I got a response from Lena Cup:
Hello Kim,
Thank you for thinking of us! As a matter of fact, we sent Kelli a cup a couple of weeks ago, so fingers crossed she posts a review in the coming months.
All our best,
Jessie
LENA
A BETTER PERIOD.
Kim Hefley I fricken love my Lena cup I hope it works for Keli
Lena is my second favorite cup I've tried. I LOVE my Meluna shorty though!
I’ve tried the divacup, the Fleurcup and the Meluna small and this is actually my favorite. I’ve had cramps, pain inserting and taking out my other cups. Also, I always had pressure and wasn’t able to pee.
It’s the first time I didn’t have a leak. The MeLuna Cup is a dream! It’s much smaller and softer, for girls that had pain with other cups, this one will probably help you out! Yes, you can be smaller down there and other cups might be too large for you, even though other people say the contrary!
I appreciate your openness. I am a fan and don't have periods, but still this is a really good video for everyone to watch.
Eugenio this must be so weird for you lol
I love, love, my meluna and have used it for over five years. I have waited for this review and it makes me a bit sad that you didn't love it to. Haha. MeLuna has different hardness to them. Maby you could test out the more firm one?
I have mine in black without any stem. 😊
I really like this series! Thank you 💕
I'm glad that i found you comment. I'm about to try menstrual cup for the very first Time, and MeLuna Is what i purchassed. So i was a Little sad to se Kelly's not positive experience, and also some other negatives on the comments.
So you have me hope that my experience can also be positive as well.
My period should be starting on a couple of days, so I'm very ansious and exited.
ninivengl hey i tried the meluna as my first cup and i love it! people and bodies are different.i hope it suits you well
Oh my goodness Kelli! I found your Diva video today and I’ve managed to waste nearly half my day watching your vids and sewing when I shoulda been cleaning! I love that you are so open and honest about menstruation. It is so wonderful to see a generation of women finally breaking barriers and taboos about our bodies. I was recently introduced to SaaltCo through a FB group and have been dying to try a cup. My problem is that I’m a little older and have Hashimoto’s Disease which affects my body’s hormones. I haven’t had a period in 4 months, but I’ve gone through most of the other hormonal issues attributed to the menstrual cycle each month. When I do have a period it usually lasts 4 days and get so freaking bloody. Have you ever heard of OB Ultra tampons? They are literally the size of my thumb. On days 2 & 3 I have to change my tampon every 2 hours. Very rough on my at night for sure. I don’t want to spend the money on a cup if I’m not going to need it, but I wanted to share their info with you. The ladies of Saalt Cup Academy use their FB site as an open forum to members to talk about the cup and get real advice from real women. It’s pretty great! Saaltco.com
I like how you have shared, saved me from trying all those other cups. I have noticed that you can stop the leaking by taking a flushable wipe and cleaning around the cup and vag area after cup placement. It makes a world of difference. I have also noticed that my periods are shorter with the cups. I think the suction helps get that stuff out faster!!
This just broke my heart. I recently started using menstrual cups and the me Luna was the one I went with. It’s been my holy grail but I will agree when sleeping in it, it shifts a little. I wish they sent you a L because the medium I don’t think is recommended with multiple child births.
I’ve used MeLuna for many years. When I first got them they were the old shape (now the “shorty” size), and I absolutely LOVED them. Then they redesigned them a few years ago into the “normal” size they are now. The “popping” you felt I experienced after they redesigned it (and I got it in the sport thickness, big mistake methinks) I also felt like it just didn’t sit right sometimes and I had leaking often. I kinda drifted away from using it regularly because of that.
They recommend the “shorty” size/length for women with a lower sitting cervix or ones who have gynaecological problems.
Because my body has changed since starting using them I recently went back to the “shorty” size (in classic and soft) and I’m really happy with that length now. I also find the ring pull and stem are the easiest to grip.
Perhaps try the classic shorty large with a ring pull end?
Your comment has made me want to give the shorter cups a try! Sometimes wearing the regular Meluna feels weird because it's too low ;;
MeLuna cups are made of TPE. I have 3 and the oval shape seems pretty standard. Plus being TPE it heats up and moves more with the body. They go from small to extra large and have a shorty line as well for those with a low cervix (they also have soft, classic, and sport firmness levels I think you have the classic and probably should have tried the sport firmness). I used to love them till I was blessed to try a cup that isn't even on the market yet (which I love this new cup more than all the others and I'm dying for the finished product!) There's also a brand new cup design making it's way on the market and I wish I could remember the name! It was or is on kickstarter.
Shanny Banany Keela Cup? The one with the adjustable stem.
Ariel Rouse I wouldn't say adjustable but the one where you use the stem to help break the seal... I think it might be the keela but I can't remember
Shanny Banany lol I didn't give the best description, but that's the cup I was referring to. They're on pre-order to be shipped May 31st (and I really want one)
Yes, Meluna has so much variety that I actually wondered if she did their sites own quiz first or compared it with other brands (it is available to do on their EU site but oddly not on the US site) or if that is just what they sent to try it. I think the Meluna Large with a "stick" stem would have been more similar to her past favorites than the one in this video. Still this is a cup recommended if the long stems didn't work and a "v" shape with a rounded end rather than a full bell shape so even with the correct size, stem, and firmness it still might not have worked. They are just so different. And by "Keela cup" do you mean the one Flex came out with? Super curious about it as well.
Guess it now call Flex Cup?
I love being ecofriendly and reducing the amount of garbage I use. About a year ago I tried the lily cup, and the first time was fine, a little discomfort but I thought I'd get used to it, but for the second month it hurt so bad I never used it again! I sincerely thought that all cups would be like that. I'm so happy I found your videos! I don't even know how I stumbled across them but have been watching them all night! I plan on watching all of your period videos to hopefully find one that will work for me! Thank you so much for these videos, it may be awkward at times for you but it is so helpful for people like me!
Would love a review vlog just where you talk a lil on the pros and cons on each item you have tried . kinda putting it all together. I have watched all of your period product reviews and i still am on the fence on what to switch to. There are just so many to choose from!! Tfs!!!
Still watching. I see you show several at the end. Tfs!
Yes I cannot wait for more period reviews!!! I have missed them so much! I love all your videos but the period reviews are my favorites!
Hey Kelly, just wanted to let you know that your TMI habit over several of these was super helpful! I went with "order a bunch of super cheap ones on Amazon, so at the very least, I got a good idea of firm/soft, short/long, etc before I plunked $40. I hit paydirt with the larger softer cups, 2 totally different ones are both just as comfortable - meaning I couldn't feel them without paying close attention. Thanks! And if anyone reads this and isn't sure, just go buy one or several and try it out! I wish I'd done that way back when these were new and I first heard about them instead of waiting so long! Oh the money I'd have saved, along with so many other benefits!
Omg thank you! I’ve been wanting you to try this for months!!
You should have gotten the Sport cup. They pop out more and since you work out that’s probably better for you.
I love this cup, but everyone does have their unicorn cup
I'm glad that the FemmeCycle cup is so good for you. It actually suctioned to my cervix and almost caused a prolapse. Scariest moment ever! I love your reviews they're s so helpful! I've had success with some of the stuff you've reviewed!
Omg I herd the suction break 😂
Kelli I will probably never meet you in person but I just wanted to say thank you. I have always struggled with menstruation issues and have always felt so much shame and discomfort anytime it came time for it to happen. Seeing another woman speak so freely about these things and even being brave enough to show the blood just left me feeling a little bit more able to become more comfortable with myself and my body. The first video that I watched of yours was the thinx panties video. I felt like they really did change my life and after getting used to cleaning them etc, lol obviously I got more comfortable with myself. To be able to walk around and not have to worry too much about putting on some toxic tampon or ruin all of my nice underwear really did change my whole life and the way that I think about menstration. Until I got thinx underwear ( not true, I started with the anigan evawear but did get thinx anyway), I couldn't even say the word " period " in conversation without giving it some kind of euphemism. I now am a proud cup user and I wanted to share that I am exceedingly glad that I stumbled upon your videos. I totally understand that you are more than just your period reviews, but from an unrestricted lady from Texas, Thank you!!!!
I love these videos, they’re so informative. Thankyou for taking the time to try these products out for us xx
This is like your fourth or fifth video I’ve watched and women you are one brave momma. Thank you for you doing all this yuck stuff in front of a camera to help us understand cups better. Honestly it has really help with my little fear of giving it a shot. I’m still doing my research to see what’ll work best for me but YOU ROCK!!!! Thank you!!!!!
Hi Kelli - I just wanted to say a big thank you to you! I started watching your period videos probably about 9 months ago (which is how I found you) and bought my own first set of 2 cups from a Groupon deal. They were tough to figure out, but since I have such heavy periods, they were still a blessing to me. I'd been wanting to try out a Sckoon cup after watching that video, but waited to spend the money. Even after 5 months using my el cheap-o cups, I still would have difficulty getting them to open, but this month I finally got my Sckoon! What a difference! As a SAHM who also homeschooled, I knew I would go back to work when my son graduated, but I wondered HOW on earth I could work outside the home when my periods were so awful! Now I have less trips to the bathroom throughout the day (and night) and FAR less cramping! It was you who inspired me with the confidence to try a menstrual cup! Thank you so much! I'm so grateful I could nearly cry! Seriously! I could hug you!
Thank you so much for doing these videos! You have changed my period game and for that I am forever grateful! I tried the FemmyCycle cup off of your recommendation and I will never go back! I’ve been using it for 10 months now and I love it! You’ve helped me be more aware of what I put in my body and opened my mind up to using products that I never would have otherwise and I don’t dread that time of the month anymore. Ever since being introduced to the menstrual cup my period is just EASY. I also use period panties and reusable pads off of your recommendation and you have really just changed my life. Thank you again and to anyone that is curious about trying the cup I say do it! Try it and I think you’ll love it too, the femmycycle one more specifically is a lifesaver and game changer!! ❤️❤️❤️
Haha it's crazy to me that I found you by your Diva Cup review video and stayed because I enjoyed all of your other content. I think I've been following you for a good year now:) THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUCH GREAT VIDEOS KELLI:)
I'm really sad you did not like it, I bought a MeLuna about a year ago and it has honestly saved my life! Looking at the chart on the box I picked a size M and I think it is the perfect size for me. I never had a problem with it not springing back or not sealing properly since my first cycle and I find the material to be just fine. It was such a life saver, I had had knee surgery and worrying about my period when I could not go to the bathroom alone was not something I was excited about. I only leaked twice in over a year of use and I work out in it completely safely, even squats are not a problem! It also was way cheaper than 24$, I paid about 15€ (but in Germany where I bought it they tax differently all feminine products) and after all this time I can honestly say that I don't find it to be "badly" cheap. But I guess the point is that with cups you have ultimately to try for yourself, what is right for my vagina can an will not be right for someone else's!
As always, thank you Kelli for giving us your honest opinion ♥
I love you ♡. When you post I get really excited. :) before I started to watch this I started my period. :(
I asked Meluna about that. It is a TPU cup and it is supposed to form to your body. I had the air sensation with the meluna also... My favorite is the femmycycle.. :]
Love your bluntness!
I have the meluna shorty. I had no idea how short my vaginal canal was until I started using cups. They ALL stuck out. I
Beka Garens I
I recently got a MeLuna shorty because my cervix is pretty low. But, I can’t seem to get it to work without leaking. I have tried the diva cup and it didn’t leak, but it was too long :/ ? Any suggestions?
I just found your videos last week & now I’m hooked! THANK YOU for being so open & sharing your experiences with us! I’ll be 34 next month & there have been so many things you’ve said or shown in these videos that make me feel normal. I know for sure now I’m not alone! 😊
Thank you once again for your openness. Good to see you back reviewing period products.
Wow your makeup looks amazing ❤️ Thank you for your honest review.
Yaaay thanks 😝😊 you are always so honest when reviewing. Anyway great to have another P-Vid! 🍷
I ordered the femme cycle after seeing your review & im excited to try it out :)Have you heard about the ziggy cup from intimina ? It's suppose to resemble soft cups or flex cups, except the ziggy is reuseable.
I missed your reviews on reusable period products. Your the one who got me on them. You look pretty.
I’ve been using the meluna shorty sport cup for over a year now. It’s definitely my Goldilocks cup and is the most comfortable I’ve ever worn.
I just order them got them last week in large and XL
Oddly mike did that to but Mine was 💯 open and they do only have two holes I got .mine to open no issues and fluid was going on right so mine u I got the shortys lol
You look amazing. Your hair and makeup look so good
I get the bubble sensation when my cup is full and I'm leaking.
Sarah Camidge I get that too but sometimes my cup isn't full. I thought that it was normal. I've been using my cup for 10 months now. But I don't know anyone else that uses them so I don't know if that means that it doesn't for right.
Lori Marquez I only have the sensation if I'm about to leak. I suppose if it doesn't fit right it would also do that because oxygen gets in there and it isn't sealed correctly?
Lori Marquez if it bubbles it isnt sealed properly
I LOVE my FemmyCycle! You sold me on it. I don’t even have to use a backup product with it. Best out there by far. Thank you for what you do. ❤️ you’re channel and keep up all your work.
So happy you're doing period product reviews again! This is the reason I followed you lol!!
Just goes to show how different we all are :D
It's my second day of using a menstrual cup. I chose Me Luna (small, otherwise identical to the one you have in the video) simply because a local retailer carried it and it looked alright.
I HAVEN'T LEAKED. NOT EVEN ONCE \o/ Not the kind of spotting you have shown either. I went for a bike ride and after did a smear test with a finger before removing it. No blood on my vaginal walls (or outside the cup)!
My cup does the same oval shape and the bulb at the end feels kinda useless but removing it is easy enough. I may punch some more holes in it (I'm learning two is uncommonly few) but so far the suction hasn't bothered me.
I definitely think this cup is too small for you! I have the size small, prior to having a baby it fit very well! Sometimes it was even too big and it hurt to put in! So there's definitely use for a small small cup :) Now I've had a baby (a biiig baby) and I definitely have to size up, I tried the small and it was just sliding out haha But overall I loved the Meluna though!
Love love love all of your period products reviews! You have taught me so much! Thanks for all you do!
Yay! I love these videos! Also you should try that new cup, it's called intimina or something? It's sort of like a soft cup but made out of silicone.
I no longer have a period cuz I'm on the DepoProva shot to get rid of them; my periods were so bad that I'd use 2 Super-Plus tampons PLUS a pad and run though all that within 2-2.5 hours. Turned out to be from fibroids and I had the worst removed, but didn't want a hysterectomy to get the others, hence the shot. I say all that to say that I STILL watch your videos (1) cuz they're so fascinating and you're such a wonderful host! and (2) so I can suggest things to my daughters and friends... Thanks; this' truly a great service you're doing for all women who need it!
Yay you're back, you do such honest reviews. You make it all so normal which it is!
Thank you for coming back Kelli
I just wanted to thank you for your honest videos! Back in 2016 I was really unsure about using a menstrual cup until I found your video. Although I was a bit freaked out, your honest words and the footage of actually using it really helped me. Just talking and imagining something, especially on a topic like this, sometimes just isn't enough. I bought my first cup in October 2016 and it really changed everything about my period! It was actually a Meluna, so maybe it's time to get a new cup ;)
Thank you Kelli ♥
Girl ! An hour of bleeding fills my cup half way(I use the sckoon) Lol you’re so lucky you’re a light bleeder! But Kelli! You’re so hilarious! “Whoa that’s a lot of suction!” That me laughing for a good while... my sckoon has some powerful suction too! ❤️ keep up with these great videos!
I really appreciate your period videos(I've watched the entire playlist), and I bought my first menstrual cup. I've never used one, but your different reviews gave me the urge to try it out. I really thank you for your honest reviews too!!
The MeLuna has been my first cup, and I love it. Since it's softer than most cups I think it works awesome. Working out it's worked pretty well. I've just gotten the saalt one to try it out, a bit concerned since it's firmer and I'm affraid it will make me cramp up more than the MeLuna.
Same here, I love my MeLuna Soft and I'm looking into getting a Saalt but I'm worried about cramping. Gotta try it though!
@@vanessagutierrez7975 I have been using the Saalt cup for about two years and I really like it. It's firmer that the MeLuna, but for me it has worked great so far.
@@Tutiez1 Thank you! I'm glad it has worked so well for you, I'm excited to try the different firmness.
Omg!!! I stopped studying to watch you❤❤
A quick tutorial on that makeup 😍😍
Hi there when i first heard of cup i was so grosed out!! This yr im trying to reduce my waste and thought id try... u and ur reveiws totally converted me thanks kellie
I love watching your videos! I am always thankful that you do these truthful videos showing everything possible on youtube. Your videos are very helpful and informative. I've been trying to find a new cup that I could use that has a bigger capacity maybe, since I do still experience overflow leaks. I am not huge "down there" but small cups feel too small for me, like you have mentioned in your video. I saw a new "cup" called Ziggy cup. It looked very much like the soft cups, which you already tried in your previous videos. I was wondering what is so different about the Ziggy cup and the soft cup. It states that Ziggy cup has a really really big holding capacity, about 2 times more than the usual cups. Would it be possible for you to review the Ziggy cup?
I was first introduced to your channel with your diva cup review. Now I have to watch all the cup videos! I've been back and forth with trying a cup for a out a year and a half. Just about the time I was going to buy a diva cup I found out I was pregnant. Now that I've had my daughter I decided to give my body a few months to get used to my period again. I bought a blossom cup 3 weeks ago and I can't wait to try it this month! Thanks kelli
Hi kelly you’re such an inspiration just wanted you to know💕
I just found out about your channel and i just love your period videos. You’re so honest! Will you please do a review of the ziggy cup? It’s a menstrual cup similar to the softcup/flexcup but not disposable. Keep up the good work!
This is the only brand ive used! Ive tried 6 different models and firmness. Lol!! I never thought that this brand was no good for me i just thought i would try a different size or firmness. You had the same complaints i did tho. All of them!
YAY!! FINALLY ANOTHER CUP REVIEW!! Btw u look really pretty Kelli! Love how u look with long hair! Xoxo
I got so excited when I read my notification from RUclips!! another great honest review! thumbs up😀
You are a hero! Thank you for subjecting your lady parts to experiments in the name of science
So glad you posted this video. I bought a Lunette cup last month (first time cup user) and it worked very well for me, but considered purchasing a different brand to try as a comparison and was thinking about this brand. Maybe I’ll forego the MeLuna and instead try the femme cycle. My cervix sits pretty high by the end of my cycle so I’m a little worried about using short cup though. Love your videos!!
Well i dont find you boring repeating yourself over and over again with same product i have endo to and i find these videos informative i love them. You have no idea how many people you're helping who suffer with horrendous cycles .
I'm still trying to find a cup for myself... skoon was a leaky mess.. diva cup hurts... idk what to do but it costs a fuck load to try and buy 50 different cups for them not to work....frustrating
The first cup I ever tried was meluna medium at the age of 22 because that was the only '' high quality" cup available in India at that time. Total waste of money. Although the cup never leaked it is so hard to get it to open. I had to literally churn my insides for 5mins to get the damn thing to open. Only C fold worked on it no other folds opened up. C was too wide for me. It still is.
Few months later I bought lunette and wow!!!!
I noticed so much comfortable and I'm in love with small lunette. On my heavy days I use saalt soft because I need more capacity on my heavy days and I thought lunette large would be too firm for me. I don't recommend meluna to my friends because the TPE material is very difficult to pop open.
But every body is different. What I don't like may be someone else's favourite.
But I would suggest to spend extra bucks and buy a high quality medical grade silicone cup for 2000rs.
Maybe the issue with the cup has to do with the fact that it is made from TPE and not silicone ? So happy to see these videos again :)
I really enjoy these cup reviews! I recently got the blossom cup from amazon. I was afraid to invent a lot on my first cup. It’s about $15. I’d love for you to review it!
Honeybunholmes Thinking of getting it. Do you like it?
Personally I like the MeLuna cup. I purchased it last week because I just had my period on the day I went to get it, i didn't except it to turn that way since I have hormonal disbalance and i wasn't planning on getting one soon since my period is not the way normal periods are. So i got my period earlier and the day it started i had nothing to do. Due to quarantine and etc. I couldn't order anything online so I went around my city to search for cups. I couldn't find any anywhere, but then i found a pharmacy at the center of the city which offered only MeLuna cups. I was so happy to find a cup so i went on and got a size M. I wasn't sure about what size to get but i had watched a lot of videos before deciding to get one and size M looked the way a normal cup looks (and i have a really heavy flow). I got it and went home so excited (i always used to get my skin irritated when using pads and it would get itchy no matter what I did, it got too dry down there so I really wanted to switch to something else). As i went home mom said that there's no way I could put it in, but i am so stubborn so i did it (it was expensive too). After i placed it in it was as if I didn't have it in, i couldn't feel it. As time went by I used to leak a little, but i also didn't unfold it correctly because I thought that's how it should be since it's sucking in and there isn't air into the vagina. But it's been a few days and I haven't leaked today, yesterday there was just a little, but as i said my flow is really heavy. I am still learning, but it feels wayyy more better than pads. I'm starting to get the hang of it. I recommend menstrual cups over anything else. 🤗❤️
I absolutely love your videos! I found them this week and they have really got me thinking about cups. I've been doing some research but hearing reviews from real people help immensely.
I've seen a cup called the Fun cup and it has an interesting shape too it. The price seems fairly reasonably for cups at $40 for 2. I would love to see a review on them!
Thanks again for all the great info :)
I had a similar experience with the meluna cup. I ended up putting it in my period kit i keep at my grandma's house. It was also uncomfortable for me whwn sitting in certain positions...im just very aware it's there. I did buy the livia, but i contacted them and asked if i could do a review and get a discount. The discount wasnt a big one. Like 20% and then i asked them where to send the review for them to put on their site and they said they dont do that. I did get mine for the lower price but it was still mega expensive. For me it's not an on its own solutiin when my pain is very bad but it is an on top if pain meds solution. They do have sales and if you review their gelpads and flower pads you get 20% off cupons for your next purchase. For me sometimes the gelpads make me itchy and they dont always last a full period, but the relief ive gottwn from pain is worth it enough that when they ran their valentines day sale i did buy a 2nd livia to keep in my period kit for my grandma's house. I visit her often and we live in diffefent states. I was worried i would forget my device at her house and that would be very very bad since it does help me so much.
I loved the “here it comes” @ 8:50 you made it sound like a train 😂
I would also love to see your review on the Lena or the new Ziggy cup! Thank you for your reviews!
Can you review the ruby cup?
MeLuna is made from TPE instead of silicone so it doesn't pop open very easily. That's why you might find it a little bit different to open it, and why it was squished when you took it out. X
I had a MeLuna but accidentally bought the soft one, waiting on the firm one in the mail. I like that they have more options for sizing, so far all the ones I have tried are too long, my cervix is always low so it hurts.
Have you seen the Ziggy Cup from Intimina? It's reusable disc, and it looks pretty cool! Glad to see another periof product review!
I think it's been one of the people asking for these videos, for like the last 10 videos
Can you do a review on the new ziggy cup by intimina?
I keep trying. Been trying to get the hang of it for a year. I always have a hard time inserting bc my arms are short lol. And also have a hard time removing bc it’s so slippery! Debating on the femmycycle. Glad your back with the period videos
Please do review on the regular lily cup... See if its better than the compact one...
I wouldn’t mind paying $40 for a cup if I knew it would fit. I have two cups already and here is what I’ve learned. I have a really low cervix and abnormally heavy periods. Most low C cups don’t hold enough. I’m using my Lena inside out, it feels kinda annoying but I’m dealing with it.
You should try the Merula cup. I think it holds 38ml, but it's also an incredibly short cup. I haven't tried it yet, but I have heard many people with low cervixes and heavy flows rave about it. It's also shaped like a fish bowl and does not have any suction holes, so I think it's harder to leak with it too.
I think a disc would help u
Can u do a Ziggy cup or disk review and tell us what u think comparisons against the soft cups and flex u seemed too like
Hey when you announced that you were going to make another period product review on Facebook I actually contacted the Lena cup company and told them about you. I'm not sure if they ever got a hold of you but it would be really cool if you did a review on that the Lena :)
Kenzee Harmon I ❤my LENA CUP!!
Kenzee Harmon I contacted them too last year urging then to contact her. I wish they would! I really like my Lena, though I did get some cramping occasionally. I have the sensitive one.
I have the lena cup and I love how I get zero leaking, but the first day I get a lot of cramping from it and it's super uncomfortable.
childhoodshour have you tried the sensitive version? I had cramping too and it's much better with the lighter version of this cup
Kim Hefley I haven't, but I'll definitely give it a try. I didn't know they had a sensitive version.
The suction at 9:00 had me DYING😂
Just wondering. After all the cups that you’ve tried, which would you say is your favorite and that you’d recommend the most?
Have you tried the Saalt cup? It's my first menstrual cup. I like it, but I'm still not sure if I love it. I think that the company donates period products for women in need for every Saalt cup purchased, and I always love supporting a good cause. I'm curious to see what you think about it.
OMG I had the same experience with the Meluna cup. I really think it’s the material they use. It’s not as good a quality of silicone for sure. It doesn’t feel like it to the touch and it doesn’t retain its shape like other cups with a better quality of silicone. SMH. Thanks for your review! As always, love your videos!!! :)
yay i miss these videos and femmycycle is my favoret too, i like this type of reviews since i dont put on much make up theses are more helpful to me, thank you
Is this seriously what a normal period is supposed to be? I always thought my periods were long (at least 10 days) but never thought they were abnormally heavy. I have several nights each period were I have to get up to empty my cup because its overflowing. Anyone experienced this and know what some options are for helping this? Also Kellie what do you use to keep your cups from discoloring? (Or were the ones at the end ones that haven't been used yet) My Sckoon turns brown more and more each month. I have the Lunette cleanser but it doesn't help much with discoloration.
Vinegar boil will get rid of that as well boiling will sanitize way better.... Also it sound like you need to go to the gynecologist....Periods are not supposed to last that long.....
Charisma Barbieri thanks I do boil it each month as well but will try with Vinegar!
Rinse cup with cold water after you empty it.
Dawna Hollingshead definitely very heavy. Speak to your doctor. You could try a naturopath/herbalist/dietician to help without hormones from your doc. It puts you at a risk for low iron to have a long heavy period
Wow I would definitely speak to your doctor that sounds very heavy. Before I went on the pill mine were very long about 8 or 9 days and heavy but never really had to change in the night
I don’t even have a cycle but I still watch them all lol 😆 this will come in handy when my daughter start hers !
Meluna is my first and only cup. Had it for about five years at this point.
I thought the leaking, deformation, difficulties getting it in etc. we're due to my ineptitude at handling a menstrual cup but now that I saw this, may meluna just isn't right for me.
I'll do my research and get another cup to try out.
I love my meluna! Your videos made me try a cup for the first time, I find pads irritate me and my pelvic floor is so strong from years of horse riding I just push tampons out, I have the firmer sport version and I won’t ever go back!
I need help please!! What cups are ferm? I think mine is too soft. I loove you btw!❤
Saalt is a newer cup I would love to see a review on that. Thank you so much for your reviews
Finally!!!
Kelli!
I'm like crying from joy 😂
