Review: I wish I had known about this or that it was available when I was younger. Knowing I spent 30 years putting bleached cotton and other hazardous materials in or near my vagina is infuriating. Just one use of this product and I experienced a world of difference. No mess in the bathroom, no smell, no harm to My Cat and best of all the period was 'different' without putting all that dioxin, bleach and viscose rayon into the walls of my cervix my body kept it's own moisture. The tampons soak up more than just blood. The materials in tampons suck the natural lubrication and water out of your cervical walls. I recovered quickly from my period and so did my body because it didn't have to go through the stage of putting water back and getting the 'juices' flowing again. I can't say enough about The Cup. I have only tried LENA. If LENA is not for you, try another until you get what fits you right or what works for you but for the sake of your health and your cervix DUMP those toxic materials now. A cup would be perfect for a young woman using chemical contraceptives. Light periods would do fine with the cup for 12 hours. However, I'm an older woman who has given birth and I do not use contraceptives; therefore, my periods are horrendous. I can soak a super plus tampon and an over night pad in 45-75 minutes on my heaviest days. Which puts me getting up 4 times at night. Blood loss and lack of sleep would make me one tired lady. The first week I had LENA I started my period. I was nervous because I just couldn't see myself putting anything up there without a 'syringe' I never understood how women used OB. Cleaning blood out from my fingernails every time I inserted didn't seem like fun. I watched all the videos and folded and unfolded the cup as shown. I was so nervous I put lube on it the first time and it popped right out of my hand! I quickly learned without the chemicals sucking my own moisture away it glides in easily without any trouble. The videos repeatedly say, "Relax your pelvic floor" you can't be all nervous and tight when you try to put this in. If you are relaxed it glides in easily and seems to 'suck right up there.' Happily, you can pee, you can even pooh if you eat a good diet. If you sit in the toilet for 30 minutes pushing it's best to remove LENA. I lift heavy weights 3 times a week and LENA stayed in place without leaking. The days the period became heavy I had to change LENA every 3-4 hours. I paid attention to my body and I could feel LENA 'slip down' a bit when it became full. At night I only had to wake up once. I had some leakage during two nights. The second night I put an organic bamboo washcloth in my underwear to catch the leak. I'm an extremely light sleeper so I can feel it as soon as it leaks out. I have since purchase reusable products for these nights from a dealer who sells organic non toxic overnight pads and panty liners. You could easily make your own. I also have a box of Medline Exam Gloves - they are unnecessary but I like them, I also keep a Sitz bottle by the toilet to rinse before I put LENA back in it's place. Squirting the lukewarm water to remove any remaining blood drops helps to keep stains off my panties because I don't have to use liners with LENA. Every woman is different so figure out what's best for you. I decided to switch because the brand I have been loyal to for decades must have started moving their production overseas. The last 9 months the tampons I purchased looked the same but quality control was HORRIBLE. Tampons would not have a string or would be loaded in backwards or the string would be wrapped around the tampon. It was a nightmare. During the nighttime I would open the tampon and have to stick the end of the syringe to my mouth and suck in to feel if the string was there, if not I would place it to the side and open another. (I do not turn on the lights or I'd never get back to sleep) Too many times I would be squatting on the floor with a gloved hand up My Cat as far as I could trying to get a grasp on a tampon that didn't have a string. It wasn't just one box either. Or the same store. I started thinking if it was this bad, what else have they done to my beloved brand by shipping the production overseas? Harsher, cheaper chemicals? I was done. That's how I came to purchase LENA. NO MORE COMMIES KILLING US WITH TOXINS OUR GOVERNMENT ALLOWS THEM TO DUMP ON OUR SHORES! The only two organs in the human body that are self cleaning are the eyeball and the vagina. Would you place a tampon on your eyeball for 4 hours? For that matter STOP using any chemicals on the pink parts of your vagina. The mucus membranes clean themselves. If you think you stink cleaning it only makes it worse in the long run. It's like people who over wash their hair have to wash it everyday or it's greasy. Stop miss treating your Lady Parts!
Review: I highly, highly, recommend this product for women everywhere of every age. I've used this for 2 cycles and truly believe that this is the best investment that I have made this year. I did a decent amount of research and comparison shopping before I chose a cup and landed on LENA based on design, reviews, and price. I am in my late 20's, have not had children, and my flow tends to start on the heavier side and quickly taper off to light by day 3. Still I decided on the large model cup. First impressions - Honestly, going to use this for the first time is daunting. However, it is not as scary as it seems! Also, the little bag that it comes with for storage is so pretty! Design - The silicone is soft and pliable making it comfortable to wear. The tip on the bottom is closed, so you don't have to worry about cleaning it which was a major deciding factor for me. It's discreet! No more crinkling of paper nonsense that let's everyone in the bathroom know what I'm doing. Ease of use - I read a bunch of reviews and tips to prepare myself for this process. The easiest method of insertion (aka the only one I tried) is the "U fold". Fold the cup in half once, lubricate the top to make insertion easier (tiny bit of water), and insert using the same method as a tampon (keeping the bottom of the "U" shape down works best). Use your finger push the cup up to a comfortable position and to feel around the sides and make sure the cup has opened. This has never been an issue for me (yet!). I read somewhere to do a couple deep squats to make sure it's in a comfortable position. I've tried this and am undecided on how much that works but to each her own. To remove, push your pelvic floor muscles like you're gonna poo (ha poo), pinch the bottom of your cup (if you have nails you will probably pinch yourself as well), pull the cup downward, and dump it into the toilet. Just be careful not to drop it in the toilet. (Been there. Pubic toilet. Super gross.) Easy right? It's simpler than it sounds. Seriously, the hardest part of insertion and removal is keeping your lady bits relaxed. If you begin to stress, your body will tense up and make the process tougher. If you're having trouble getting it into position, take a breath a try again. It may take a couple tries to find a method that works best but don't give up. And no, it will not get stuck up there. You don't need to put the cup in deep, in fact mine rides comfortably low. Cleaning - It only takes a quick rinse which is really easy when you're in the shower, at home, or in a generally private bathroom. Otherwise, another reviewer on here suggests wetting a paper towel and bringing it into a public toilet with you to clean it. This works great! (Unless you drop the cup in the toilet and need to run out to wash it with a ton of soap and super hot water in the sink.) At the end of your cycle, boil it in a pot of water for like 10 minutes, let it air dry, and then pack it away in it's pretty fabric bag until next month :) Comfort & Convenience - I think the first day that I used this cup I felt it and it was a little weird. I'm on cycle #2 using this and I sometimes forget it's there. It's super comfortable. It honestly feels more comfortable than tampons and I can put this in the day that I anticipate my period starting before any blood appears and have peace of mind. I don't have to worry about avoiding a string while I try to pee. And I don't have to have that "how many tampons do I have left?" worry if I'm wearing the cup. Just rinse and reuse. Leaks - On my heaviest days I have had a couple of leaks. Usually while I'm at work or sleeping. No big deal, I just wear a panty liner. I may invest in period panties as well just in case. Otherwise, on my medium days I am leak free only needing to empty it once at work. And on light days I can go the whole day. To put it simply, on a scale of white pants to black pants, I'm definitely going to wear black pants, especially those first couple days. But I'm probably wearing black pants the rest of the days too because of my ladylike tendency to spill things on myself. Price - Let's be real. For the price of this cup ($24.90) I can get about a 6 month supply of tampons (maybe). This cup will last for quite a while, it's reusable, and it's eco-friendly. This is such a money saver. Still on the fence? Do your research. But my best advice is that this is worth a shot. You'll be keeping gross chemicals out of your body, reducing your tampon foootprint, and avoiding the tampon tax.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is a menstrual cup and how does it work?**
A: A menstrual cup is a reusable alternative to disposable products that sits inside your body to collect flow during your cycle. The cup creates a seal to prevent leakage and unlike absorbent products, it can be worn for up to 12 hours.

**Q: Do I need a Small or Large Lena Cup?**
A: The Small cup is ideal for regular flow and for first-time users. The Large cup is designed for super heavy flow and greater capacity. Many users switch between sizes during their cycle. If unsure, start with Small.

**Q: What's the difference between Lena Original and Sensitive?**
A: The Original cup offers reliable firmness for easy insertion, making it perfect for active users. The Sensitive cup features softer, more flexible silicone for those with sensitive bladder & anatomy. Many users use both, based on comfort needs.

**Q: Is a menstrual cup safe for teenagers and beginners?**
A: Yes. Menstrual cups are safe for teenagers and first-time users. While there's a learning curve, most people master insertion and removal within a few cycles with practice. Many teens find cups convenient for school, sports and daily activities.

**Q: Can I use a menstrual cup while swimming, exercising, or playing sports?**
A: Yes. When inserted correctly, a menstrual cup is secure and won't shift during workouts, running, sports, or swimming. Many athletes prefer cups because they're reliable and leak-proof in water. The cup stays in place during physical activity.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by T***N on 20 April 2020*

I almost never leave reviews, but for this one I absolutely have to let the world know what a hidden gem this thing is. I’m 19, 5’5, 145 lbs. I ordered the large size even though I'm a virgin & it says “not for virgins” because my periods are pretty heavy.. I usually go through a super plus tampon every 2-2.5 hours. tampons seemed to make me cramp worse, but if I wore a pad during the day, I’d have to wear the extra long overnight ones to over leaking off of the front & back. Super. Annoying. I couldn’t sleep with tampons in because that would mean I’d have to wake up every 2 hours in the night. I *HATED* having my period because it felt sooo incredibly inhibiting. couldn’t really go places for long because it was embarrassing to have to go to the bathroom every 2 hours, & I was going through an entire box of tampons per period. As a non-working college student, the cost of these products adds up very quickly, as I’m sure many of you know. So.. I decided to do some research on menstrual cups which I was VERY uneasy about at first. However, I was honestly fed up and willing to try anything at this point. After reading and watching numerous YouTube videos on how to fold, insert, and take it out before it arrived, it became clear that spending $26 bucks on a menstrual cup that I could reuse over and over again is way smarter & eco friendly than spending hundreds of dollars a year in disposable products. The first night I used it, I tried the “C fold” which, for virgin me, was a pretty uncomfy and hard to put in. Next I tried what’s called the “half-diamond fold” and it was PERFECT! Much narrower to put in, just like a tampon. I love that it doesn’t need to be changed as often as a tampon, it’s more discreet, and you can’t feel It!! Genuinely forgot I was on my period sometimes. Also doesn’t make cramps worse the way tampons did for me. I can finally sleep on my period without worrying about my pad leaking everywhere, or the uncomfortable feeling of blood on me when wearing pads to bed. Since it doesn’t need to be changed as often, I can change it before leaving the house & not need to change it again until I get home. Soo so proud of my purchase. Life changing. I still use liners with them, and might use tampons here and there, but I can’t believe I’ve gone this long not knowing what a life saver the cup was. Now I won’t sit here and pretend like the beginning wasn’t a little rough. It was definitely a much more intimate experience than I thought haha. Be sure to bring it out at an angle, like when you put it in to avoid spilling blood all over your hand like me :) ALSO: I recommend pinching the bottom of it & that should unsuction it just fine for removal. I will admit that taking it out requires a little “fishing” if you will.. so be prepared to get your hands a little dirty in the beginning. Lastly, I bought a menstrual cup sanitizer because I knew my mom would throw a fit if I dare put this in one of her pots to boil at the end of each period. I bought the pink & white one by VORKE & it works great!! Just pop my cup in there while I’m in the shower & it’s ready for use once I’m out. Other than removing it being a bloody (literally) disaster in the beginning, I 10/10 recommend. Tell a friend! Get a sterilizer! spent $46 on my cup & sterilizer combined.
