Lena Menstrual Cup Original – Reusable Silicone Period Cup for Regular Flow, 12-Hour Leak-Free Protection, Soft & Comfortable, Beginner-Friendly Design – Small, Turquoise

Amazing product, give it a try if you are interested in Menstrual cups!
Fellow women!! So I am pretty sure alot of you are interested in switching to menstural cups versus the regular pads and tampons. I can tell you that making this switch has made me feel so free and comfortable during my period, I can do anything! I did alot a research before purchasing my lena cup and am very pleased with it so far. First of all it is a decently priced, unlike other mentstural cups, especially if you are just planning on trying it out. It is also one of the best priced bell shaped cups out there. It is made out of soft 100% medical-grade silicone that is easy to bend, but holds it’s structure enough to spring back to it’s orginal form after inserting it in. For first timers I would recommend trying to practice putting it in a few times before your first time used during a period; RELAX and give yourself some time- swatting on the floor was the easiest way I found, but after a while you get used to it! After putting it in just make sure it did spring back and nothing is preventing it from making a complete sucction; low vs. high hanging cervix. It is a little scary at first and don’t worry it won’t get stuck up there, just use your kegel muscles to push it back down (If you aren’t sure how to use your kegel muscles don’t worry you will figure it out!). I have learned so much about my body ever since using the lena cup – I know heavy days vs. light days. No there isn’t any period smell! Sure other people may not be able to smell it, but you, yourself sure can. Be careful when breaking the seal and pulling it out; don’t pull to fast or you may spill it over yourself. Keep a good grip on the grip rings and slowing pull it out; without letting it slip out of your grip. Read the directions that come with it; very helpful!My experience!I guess I was lucky, because after practicing a few times when I wasn’t on my period I was able to put it in correctly and didn’t have any leaks! I still wore a panty liner just in case. After I put it in I literally couldn’t feel it; I was shocked. I when through my day very concous of it so a few times I thought I felt it, but after a little while I completely forgot about it. I did start spotting a little bit on my first day, but it was due to a heavy flow kind of day- I took out the Lena cup poured the blood out, rinsed it with warm water and a little bit of soap and then put it back in – Volia no spotting. On my heavy day I took it out a total of 3 times, regular and light days 2 times. When I started spotting on my heavy day I thought I bought the wrong size – so don’t fret you might be having a heavy day.Sleeping at night was one of the things I was really worried about; Make sure you empty the cup at the lastest before you go to sleep and really check to make sure that it is one correctly – I didn’t make sure the first night, because I got cocky and I ended up leaking big time, the next night I made sure to check and empty it out right before I went to sleep and it was perfect! I was worried about the air holes at first, but in the end it didn’t cause an leakage. I was very active during my period and saw no leaks, the last few day I was daring enough to go without panty liners (I ran out and saw no rush to run to the store). If it helps I have fairly regular periods that last 5 days – It is usually heavy during the first few days and lightens up. I feel bloated and sometimes experience cramps – the Lena cup did not cause any of these symptoms to worst. I am truly impressed with this product and will continue to use it for a long time.Tips:If you are wondering about soft vs. hard silicone – I would go with soft, because it is more versitle – When I was figuring out how to put it in and want something a little harder I would run the cup under cold water and it would cause it to get a little bit firmer for insertion and then soften up within the body!

I had always been squeamish about the idea of menstrual cups but anxiety about an overnight work event coupled with a super heavy flow led me to finally giving them a shot at 34 years old. I had been a pad user up until this point and as tampons don’t work for me due to a low cervix, I had wrong assumed that cups would be the same. I chose the larger size and it was an absolute game changer. There was definitely a learning curve, it took me several goes of inserting and removing to get there but I did. After I inserted it for the first time, I had some trouble and did the classic panic that I wouldn’t be able to get it out. The seal was strong and it took a few goes before I was fully comfortable reaching in to break it. As someone who has never given birth, I also found the final moments of removal a little painful but bearable. For me, the cup sat with the base just at the entrance to my vagina so with a gentle push from my pelvic floor, it brought it down enough for me to grip and I found I didnt need to use the stem at all. I worried about the cup spilling on removal but again, this was not an issue. Generally, the cup was comfortable. I did have painful cramps this cycle but it would be hard to size of the cup influenced this at all. I could feel the stem as the cup sat low for me so I would be tempted to trim the stem. Capacity wise, I have a heavy flow so I worried that the cup would overflow or leak but this didn’t happen. I changed the cup 4 times a day at my heaviest, on waking, at lunch, when I got home from work and before bed and it would be about half full. Overall, I would say that I wished I’d have made the change from pads to a cup earlier. It was infinitely more comfortable than using pads and was wonderful not to have to worry about flooding as I usually do due to my heavy flow. I did find that I had to wear some extra protection as there would be a little residual blood after each changing but I am now planning on buying some reusable pads to deal with this. The added bonus of knowing you’re not contributing to environmental damage is also wonderful. Happy first time user, very happy I gave it a go!

Questa è la mia prima coppetta e, dopo un utilizzo di quasi un anno, posso dire che mi pento di non averla acquistata prima. Certo, diciamocelo, come per tutte le coppette ci vuole un po’ per capire il modo giusto per indossarla ma, essendo morbidissima, una volta abituati non si sente nulla e si ha una sensazione di comodità incredibile. L’ho usata al mare, per fare sport, per viaggiare… e non ne sono mai stata delusa! La consiglio assolutamente!

Infolge einer Beratung habe ich mir die Yuuki soft 2 gekauft. Die war mir aber viel zu hart beim Einführen und Entfernen und der Stiel hat mich sehr gestört — kürzen hat es nur noch schlimmer gemacht. Also musste eine kleinere weichere her, am besten mit flachem Stiel. Es wurde die Lunette. Die wurde mit der Zeit etwas weicher und in den ersten Tagen war sie bei manchen Bewegungen undicht, den Stiel fand ich aber super. Deshalb kam nur noch ein flacher Stiel in Frage und so habe ich die Lena entdeckt. Sie ist etwas fester als die Lunette, lässt sich aber problemlos — und schmerzlos (war bei mir immer ein Problem) — einführen und entfernen.
