Review: GREAT! - I just finished my first cycle using this Lunette cup and thought it'd be a good time to post a review. Overall Experience: On the day I knew my period was coming, I was able to put the cup in and leave in all day just in case! It was great not having to worry about it or checking all the time to see if it was time to put a tampon in. On the second day, when it had actually started flowing, I wore the cup for about 6-7 hours and it worked great! No leaks at all! I was like WOW, do I already have this down? (I read A LOT of reviews and most said there is a learning curve, which I do agree with, but I was surprised at how easily I got it!) On the third day, which is probably my heaviest, I wore the cup for about 9 hours and it didn't leak once again! I was still so surprised. On the fourth day, this is when it all changed. This day is heavy too and a few hours after putting it in, it didn't feel quite right down there so I checked it out and it leaked! Yes leaked! I was freaked out because I was at work and there was blood everywhere (sorry, TMI). Since I was freaked out I wasn't able to reinsert it so for the time being I had to put a tampon in (which I hated doing, I could already tell the difference and I hated it!) On the last day, I was determined to make it work again since it worked so well in the beginning... And it did! I wore it for 11 hours with no leaks at all. Woohoo! Insertion/Removal: So far I have found the recommended "C" fold to work best for me even though it is a little wide (I am not a virgin so that may help). It pops open really easy! Plus I don't feel it at all, it's SO much more comfortable than a tampon. I ran 2 times while the cup was in and it worked great still but it did work itself up pretty far and at first I freaked out but did the "bearing down" technique and it wiggled down. To remove it I just always pinch the bottom and wiggle it and then take it out. So I never had a problem removing it or it getting stuck. I also never found it too terribly messy. Seal/Position: So the key is to get it in the correct position and to make sure it is "sealed". I am pretty sure the day it leaked I accidentally inserted it too far up and it wasn't sealed all the way. So it should sit LOW! I still have the stem on mine (doesn't bother me!) and it does stick out a little or you can feel it right inside. It is hard to turn it completely to seal it, I just tend to wiggle it up and down and make sure it's open (sometimes it feels flat to me but still works!) and then I tug on the stem and if it doesn't budge then it's sealed! I recommend wearing a liner at first just in case (that's what I did) and eventually once I get the technique down 100% I will stop wearing a liner. I still give this cup a 5 star rating even though I did have that bad leaking experience because overall it was so great! I will never go back to tampons!
Review: My First Experience and Some Tips - Let me start by saying that I love my Lunette. But for those of you trying out menstrual cups for the first time, I want to take you through my journey so that you can be more prepared than I was. Stick with it! You’ll get it. When I first researched menstrual cups, I was so intrigued. There’s a great girl on Youtube named Bre, and she had me convinced that these would forever change my life for the better. So when I ordered my Lunette, I couldn’t wait for my period to start so that I could come to the light. My sister bought a Lena cup and was just excited as I was to test it out. Her period came first, and so by the time mine came I had heard all about her experience, which alerted me that this “learning curve” that everyone mentions involves a bit more painful trial-and-error than I originally expected. So when my period started, I was more cautious than excited, but I was convinced that I could figure it out. I had some lubricant ready, I had studied all the folds to try, and I just went for it. And boy! Pain! I’m a virgin, so maybe I just needed some time to loosen up down there, but there was some definite pain while I was learning how to do it right. I was in the bathroom for probably 20 minutes trying to figure it all out. Inserting, failing, reinserting, failing again. When I finally got it to go all the way in, it didn’t feel right, and I didn’t think it had opened up. I had also left the stem on, and it needed to be trimmed. So I took it out, trimmed the stem, and put it back in. Fiddled around with it until it popped open. Walked around. It was still uncomfortable, so I took it out again and trimmed the stem to the first little notch. I reinserted it again and it felt much better. Eventually I just cut it all off (as I’ve read many people did), and that made all the difference, but for the first couple of days I had a little notch of stem left…mainly because I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get it out without it on there. But once I learned the technique, it was unnecessary, and I trimmed it off and now I can’t feel the cup at all when it is in. It’s great, and I’m much more confident with it now. I love that I can leave it in all day on most days and not worry about it. On my heaviest day, I was emptying every four hours or so because it was leaking(my guess is because it was full). But all other days, I just emptied it once or not at all. And removing it was painful in the beginning also, maybe because I had to get more flexible down there. I also ended up pretty bloody a lot, but luckily I was only ever changing it at home and I had my bathtub right next to me, so I’d just empty it in the toilet and rinse it out in the tub. So what I’ve learned that I hope can help others: First, lubricant is a fantastic friend in this learning process, and it just made everything easier, especially in the beginning. Like I said, the learning curve for me was painful, but lubricant made it much better. Second, ***and this is a great tip*** when you fold it, make sure that the folded over side is facing down, so that when it pops open, it won’t hit your urethra. That can be painful. It also slides in easier for me, with less risk of pain. So the doubled over edge should be facing toward your back, and the smooth edge should be facing toward your stomach, or up. That helped a lot. Third, definitely wear panty liners in the beginning. I guess there’ll be a time when I’ll have the hang of it enough to feel comfortable without a liner for extra protection just in case, but it’s definitely necessary on my heavy days for now. My sister has also gotten into the reusable cloth liners and she’s a big fan of those now. That used to disgust me, but now that I’m on the cup and happy with it I’m thinking, “What the heck? Why not try it out?” That much less to buy every month and throw away. Fourth, as it turns out, cups aren’t that uncommon. I hadn’t heard of a single person around me before I tried them out who used one. But just the other day I was talking to a family friend and it came up that she uses one. And after trying it out, I really am like, “Why not?” It’s so much better in many ways. I’m convinced that many of my friends (who all gave me that “really?” look when I mentioned my new menstrual cup adventure to them) will all be trying it out in the future. Fifth, the Lunette cup wash is great. I got some because it had fantastic reviews, and I’m glad I did. I don’t have to worry about using a harmful soap on it because it is specifically designed for the cup. And it smells so soothing…just makes the period a little better. And it only takes a small drop to wash the entire cup, so the tube will go a very long way. Like at least a year, I would think, if not two or three. Lastly, let’s throw away the belief that it’s all roses and daisies with menstrual cups. I think I had this glamorous view that I would get the hang of it right off the bat and it would be the best thing ever. But that learning curve is a toughie for the first few days. (Am I sounding like a broken record yet?) That first insertion…ooh that was painful. But you just have to tell yourself, “No, I can do this.” and try again until you get it right. Just like trying a tampon for the first time. When you finally get it right, it just clicks. I should be starting my next period in a couple of days, and I’m excited now to have another go at it and get to where it’s easy and second-nature. My sister is on her second cycle with her Lena cup now, and she texted me the other day, “The learning curve is zero now. I remember how to do it, and it’s completely painless!” And that’s after just a single cycle with it, so the time it takes to figure it out (although painful) has not been very long for her or me. So stick with it! It will take a while to get used to, but keep at it for at least a whole cycle until you judge whether it’s right for you. That was very long, but I hope it helps! Good luck with your Lunette!

*by M***R on October 3, 2013*

Incroyable mais vrai ! Plus aucune sensation, pas d'odeur, pas de gêne, que du bonheur !! J'ai pris taille 2 car j'ai une fille de 2 ans et demi et un stérilet (donc règles + abondantes avec ce moyen de contraception), eh bien sa capacité me suffit très largement ! Premier essai j'ai laissé entrer la coupe toute seule (en la pliant) mais je la sentais, donc je l'ai ressorti et je l'ai placée différemment, j'ai tourné autour pour m'assurer qu'elle était bien ouverte et non pliée à l'intérieur (comme indiqué sur la boîte) et là, surprise, plus aucune fuite, et 0 gêne, je ne sentais plus rien dans tous les sens du terme !! Alors oubliez les protèges slips, les culottes tâchées, les dépenses et les stocks de tampons/serviettes, et franchement les filles, foncez !!!!!! 5 étoiles sans aucune hésitation.. PS : je comprends qu'aucune pub ne soit réalisée et qu'on n'en parle pas, il doit y avoir un sacré lobbying derriere tout ca, car à mon avis si toutes les femmes essayaient ca, elles changeraient vite d'avis et adieu toutes les marques de serviettes/tampons !! C'est incroyable que cela existe depuis si longtemps.. Si j'avais su !!!!!!!!!!!
