Softcup

I haven't had a real period in over a year since I had an IUD inserted BUT as one of the previous commenters stated...when I did get my period I was still just as willing to have sex. I mean call me sex crazed if you will but it's definitely a great pain reliever. I also agree that it's a bad marketing tack...these things have been around for a hot minute and I've heard of them before, personally I've always thought it sounded a bit disgusting to have to dump period blood out of a cup but if it works, it works.

I tried this product this summer and ending up throwing the rest of the box away. It was very uncomfortable and hard to insert. I read the instructions several times and tried many times. I was also afraid of possible infections.

i tried a sample of these. i cramped really bad while using them. i was really hoping they would work because they sound great. It looks really intimidating when you take it out o the package but was easy to insert and remove. Anyone else cramp while using these?

I have never used this brand of cup but I have used menstrual cups in general before. I love my diva cup, it saves so much money on tampons and pads and its really convenient because you can leave it in for 12 hours (you cant have sex with it in tho). I like that these soft cups are reusable for up to one cycle and may give them a try in the future. The price is great, why wouldn't you try them?!!

I tried this product several years ago when I receieved a test sample. Perhaps they had not worked out the problems with it here yet but it didn't work well for me in catching all the flow. So I threw it away and went back to the old standard tampons.

Okay I'm 38 years old so not "young" by any means and if the mood strikes and it's my period, I just do it and I don't need a product to protect me, heck shower sex works just great, and most men don't care about getting a little dirty if they are getting some love and having an orgasm totally gets rid of cramping and shortens the length of aunt flo's visit from my own experience.

I think it's just a bad marketing tool for Americans. My college roommate got married to an English man and they have lived there for a long time. She told me that this is the way almost every woman and England takes care of her monthly. Obviously, they have more than one brand but the collection versus absorbsion is the norm there. It is a lot more envionmently friendly. Very little waste and if inserted properly very little chance of an accident. You don't need to carry extras in your purse you just empty it while in the bathroom and reinsert. I am excited it's finally coming to the US. But yes it is silly to expect those who want to have period sex to be despirite for this. They've been doing without until now.
