Favorite menstrual cup

Anyone other ladies using cups? Which brand do you like?

While it may not be considered a cup, I've been using the Flex Disc and have been enjoying it (as much as you can enjoy a menstrual item haha). They have disposable and re-usable options. Definitely better than tampons, and a quick learning curve.

I tried multiple and couldn’t get the hang of them! I just went back to non toxic tampons. I like the rael amazon brand or love target ones

Put A Cup In It is such a great resource — the quiz really helped me, too. I actually stopped using my cup for a while because it became uncomfortable, but after retaking the quiz and finding a better fit, I’m planning to give it another go.
Like others have said, there’s definitely a learning curve — especially getting the seal just right. It’s totally normal to need a backup pad at first until you get the hang of it.
And yes, if you have an IUD, it’s important to check in with your GYN before using a cup. There is a small risk of IUD displacement, especially in the first 6–12 weeks after insertion, so it’s worth getting guidance on string length and proper removal technique.
Hope that helps — it’s worth sticking with it if you can find the right fit

Love the flex! And also their discs vs a cup on the lighter days towards the end of my period! Like others have said, there is a definite learning curve with all of these but I have loved making the switch from tampons.
