Lily Cup Compact Size B - Small Menstrual Cup with Flat-fold Compact Design

Longtemps que j'utilise et j'adore !

I usually do not write reviews, but for this purchase, i debated on buying one and trying it for over a year. I feel like I need to for other people on the fence, or genuinely curious. Let me start by saying this is tricky to use, so you're almost guaranteed a mess on the first few tries. I watched a tutorial from Intima, and one on youtube from Put A Cup In It. The second more helpful and visual for getting it in there. My first try using it was on day 1, and it made a HUGE mess. Somehow when I inserted it, it collapsed, so no blood was caught in the cup. Totally user error though. Thankfully, I followed advice and wore a liner anyway since it was a first try so it wasn't a big deal, just messy to remove. The other times already, I got it in perfectly. I realize you have to check with your finger that it's not collapsed after you put it in by swiping around the bottom end of it and feeling for the top rim, if you can reach it. Once I got the hang of it, it worked flawlessly. For me, there is no mess to remove, and drain. If it's in correctly, and you're not leaving it in there so long it fills all the way up, nothing will spill. Besides, my own vaginal juices, no blood gets on my fingers when I remove it to empty. If you're like me and you panic about it getting stuck up there, no worries. Just bear down while pulling it gently down. It was easier to remove then get in. Even when I put it in wrong. For removing/cleaning I did so every 8-12 hours, depending on access to private bathrooms. I prefer to remove and clean it completely. So normally, I take it out to drain, rinse it first, then soak it in mild soap and hot water while I'm showering, then clean it off, so it's ready and clean to be reinserted. But there are days when you might need to empty outside of the home (ex work, or school) or if your flow is heavy, you have to empty it so it doesn't overflow. After my cycle ends, I set it in boiling water to disinfect, and store for my next cycle. You also do not feel a thing while it is inserted. And I mean nothing! So if you do, you most likely have it in wrong, or you are wearing the incorrect size.If you know you have a heavy flow, do yourself a favor and get a bigger size cup, and plan to empty it maybe every 2-6 hours or whatever. The collapsible one I'm told is smaller than the standard cups. You know your body. I expected the cup to fill more than it did with my 12 hour change, and when I removed it on day 1, it was just below the first level at the bottom. I should mention that I have a light cycle (lasts 2-3.5 days) and no cramping (I know, it's a blessing), but I have had a child. I was unsure if I should go with a B or A. I went with B, but based on the amount that gets in the cup, I could have gotten away with an A, I think. I love the fact that it has a case it comes with so you can carry it around, and when you need it, it'll be clean and ready for you in your purse. buttttttt, the case hinge is incredibly thin and I can see it breaking soon, especially if I'm not careful.IF ANYONE FROM INTIMA IS READING THIS, MAYBE GO FOR A REDESIGNED CASE THAT SCREWS OPEN LIKE A BOTTLE CAP?That just makes more sense to me since you risk it flipping open in your bag if it's jostled around a lot. Most of the reviews are accurate here, from my experience, so if you are reading this and on the fence like I was, my advice is to buy it and see for yourself. You might be pleasantly surprised, like I was! Just consider the material of whatever cup you get. This one had no sharp edges, and was incredibly soft. I'm only giving it 4 starts because of the case, but the concept, design, material, price and convenience is worth a purchase. I hope this review helped someone decide, like others helped me.Good Luck!

I’ve been using another brand’s menstrual cup and what intrigued me about this one was how compact it can be when stored. I had a few issues with this product. 1) depending how you insert the cup, it might collapse inside your vjayjay 2) its leaking. Less than 1 hour into using it, it started leaking. So messy.

Premetto che è stata la mia prima coppetta quindi ho dovuto fare un po’ di pratica. Ma già al terzo giorno avevo capito come fare ed adesso è tutto in discesa! Comodissima e approvata anche per le principianti: non arrendetevi al primo utilizzo :)

Love this! I chose this one after carefully reading lots of reviews and watching youtube video reviews. I have just finished my second cycle using this and am so happy I started using this. The first two days I had some pain, but then I figured out I wasn't putting it in at the correct angle. It is supposed to be pointed towards your tailbone. Once I figured that out I had no problems. I can't really tell it's in. It's easy to insert and to get out. I'll be honest it was somewhat awkward to start with...but once you get over it, really it's not a big deal. I did cut the tip off because I could feel it hanging out. No leaking and I found I was emptying it more than I really needed to at first since I wasn't really sure how much it would hold. I have a light first day, very heavy second and third then light for three more days. Even on the heavy days I'm not leaking or even coming close to filling it up all the way. I have to say that I am actually a little mad that nobody told me about menstrual cups sooner! I am 35 and found them for the first time when I was looking for tampons on here to put on subscribe and save. I never even knew that you could buy 'chlorine free' tampons until I searched on Amazon. Menstrual cups just happened to come up in with the search.
