These cups are too small, and Cora's customer service appears to be lacking. Hard pass, but thank you for buying the product and reviewing it for us. This channel is definitely a public service.
I was very curious about the Cora cup. The shape of it to me is a bit unique. However I feel like it's definitely offputting to me that the company didn't reply to you and when they finally did it wasn't really beneficial.
It's definitely been a frustrating experience. Knowing how many people rely on PACII as a resource made it doubly so. It's not about ego, it's about providing people with the information they need and are looking for to pick a menstrual cup. While I'd like to say it's because they're a big company, other large companies have been completely responsive to us (Tampax, for example) and see the value in what we do.
I can say contacting Cora is problematic. I had an issue with the website and never got a reply so I wouldn't recommend ordering on the website if needed.
I love how humble you two are! However it's clear you are extremely influential to the cup community so it was definitely a bad move on their part for not stepping up their game at least for you guys. 😂 I mean if they won't reply to you in a timely manner what would give us "regular" consumers hope. Not to mention the fact that with cups there is no one size fits all and it can be very frustrating and expensive if you buy from a company with poor return policies and customer service. Really hoping they fix this issue. Thank you two for spending your own money to do this review for us and keep up the great work! 💗
They lost my potential custom when you said they didn't reply to you guys, both times. If companies like Saalt & Lunette can give such excellent Cs, why would anyone buy a cup from a company who appear not to care. Thanks for the review though, great as ever.
This cup is not on my target shelves yet. However I saw the flex discovery kit on shelves. It has some flex discs a flex cup and a pouch. I was surprised.
I tried this cup out as a first time user and I will admit it was a great introduction into the "cup world" I learned how to fully use it after my third cycle however the first and second cycle were horrible. So much leakage and if I sneezed or laughed too hard I would lose suction and more leakage. Cups are way too small and the silicone is not as soft as they display it to be. Every time I insert it I always felt the need to pee. After extensive research seems like the Saalt cup regular "soft" will be my next go to.
I just bought the smaller Cora today. I have a light cycle. I had the lunette many years ago and I don't remember what problems I had with it. This Cora went in like a champ the first time. But I can definitely feel it like you would a tampon. Not painful but definitely there. Does that mean it doesn't fit right? Is it just not up far enough? It seems like it's sitting low.
The FAQ on their web page gives capacities of 21ml for Size 1 and 28ml for Size 2 (so, I'm guessing that is to the rim). The Amazon sale page offers a picture showing the dimensions. The picture changes depending on which size you select. Size 1: 42mm diameter, 46mm cup length, 20mm stem length Size 2: 46mm diameter, 51mm cup length, 15mm stem length The vegan leather pouch is what you get if you buy the cup from the Cora Cup web site for $39. If you buy it from Amazon or Target for $30 you get the drawstring bag.
Found Cora cup, Ziggy cup and Diva cup at CVS. I like the Cora, it’s soft, but the smaller capacity makes me somewhat worried. But the comfort may out way having to dump it more often. I always trim the stems too, I see no point to them 😆
Hey, looking for some advice/answer I have just started using a cup, the one I got is called facelle. But it sits quite high up. I have to really reach to get to the stem. Is that normal? Should I get a longer cup? It's also very hard for it to open, it takes a lot of work for it to pop open. Will a longer and different shape help with that too? Please Help!
I had been doing my own research into cups and really thought I had settled on the Cora cup. I had not made the purchase just yet but thought I would look to see if you ladies had done a review and all I can say is the lack of contact and communication from the company is really a turn off for me as well. Think I may do a bit more research myself before making the plunge. Thank you ladies.
I bought the Cora cup, and personally the top of it too thick for me. Alright it is my first time so it could be a user error. It’s really painful to remove.. so there’s that
I am absolutely in LOVE with my cup! I wouldn’t have bought it if I hadn’t watched your videos.I was prepared and knew what to buy thanks to your quiz I got the Saalt cup small.Its my first cup and it’s my Goldilocks cup🎉.I love your videos there so helpful and congrats on working with Saalt!❤️
This review just made me question if I need to look for a softer cup or just one with a more narrow base. I have both the regular Lena and the Lena Sensitive but they both cause too much pressure. Would a cup like this with a more narrow bottom be worth a shot even though it has a firm rim? Or should I look for something that is all around more less firm? Thanks!
Yet another amazing review thank you guys so much for your informative videos! Also, can you guys please do a review on the Si-Beauty UV cup sterilizer? It supposedly cleans cups without having to boil it but I’m not sure of its reliability.
Hi, first of all i love your channel, it was because of your revews that i started using my cup and i love it. I´m from colombia and not many people arround knows about menstrual cups. Right now i´m using the lifecup, wich was easy to purchase, but i have not found any helpfu,l in depth, unbiased reviews on the internet, i would like you to do a review on it so more people knows about cups available internationally.
Hi! I practice swimming and I was wondering if the cup would work for this type of sport. Has anyone been in the same situation (I apologise for my terrible English, it's my second language)
Hey nice review! What happens when you have a bowel movement? I tend to “bear down” and fear I may push it out. It happens when I used the disposable cups. I’m sure everyone has the period poops so I wonder what happens when you’re using a Cora cup
I really want a small and softer cup. The lena sensitive is a bit too firm for me. Should I try the Cora cup or the soft saalt cup(the grey one)? Please help! lol
What do mean it opens up to soon after inserting it and using the nudge method? I feel like I have the "opening up too soon" problem, but I don't quite understand when its supposed to open up if not right away. TIA
Haven't heard of Joom but anything from wish would land in our "do not recommend" list. Brand names with trusted FDA cleared silicone wouldn't be sold there so whatever you're getting is a gamble. It may be more expensive but even a $40 will recoup your investment longterm so it's not worth trying a cheap cup to start and the risk involved with those cups. We too often hear they arrive smelling of chemicals and they're also usually quite flimsy and thin, leading to a bad user experience.
@@PutACupInIt thanks for your answer, in my country it's hard to find a cup, I already have one in "ladycup" brand for almost 3 years and looking for something new to try. The idea of put a cup in "it" still too new around here. Found no one around me heard of that.
so I got a cup a couple of months ago but I haven’t been able to use it yet, it pops up open while I’m trying to put it in, could it be that it is too firm? should I get a softer one? I hope someone can help me!!
ok so this isn’t super relevant but I need help haha. I bought the Vida cup (a rip off I know but it had like 500 good reviews). I bought the larger size because I didn’t realize that it came in different sizes 🤦🏻♀️ I do have a super heavy flow on the first and second day though. Anyway, it’s giving me the worst cramps that are so awful that I’ve just ended up taking it out and switch to a tampon. Is the cup to big? Am I just not used to it yet? What do I do?
It could be the size but I'm more curious to know if the cup feels rather firm or springy. A firm cup can feel not so good if you're sensitive to it and/or if it's too big especially
I’ve been very interested in switching to a cup for about a year or two and have been doing a lot of research on which ones would be best for me and such. However, most cups don’t recommend using them if you haven’t had sex. Would it be dangerous for me to try a cup anyways? I really want to, but I don’t want to cause any pain or damage.
i know you commented this four months ago and probably have your answer, but i've never heard or seen anyone saying that? i transitioned from pads to a cup without ever having had sex and haven't had a problem adjusting to them whatsoever. i suppose the only "issue" people would come into is their personal comfort with inserting items into their vagina, but there isnt a physical limitation there.
A cup can still hold at least 2x more than a super tampon so I'd guess a regular cup would give you 4-6 hours before needing to empty (just a guess) but there are cups with higher capacity. putacupinit.com/high-capacity-menstrual-cups/
This is an unrelated question, is diva cup size 2 better for heavy flows? I normally use size 1 but sometimes my period gets out control and it excess the capacity of the size 1 cup.
Neither is that method. There is not accurate way to measure firmness, Every method is flawed and doesn't showcase how a cup acts within a vaginal canal as a whole shape.
@@PutACupInIt your method is more inaccurate, putting cups together definitely gives an accurate comparison. As long as the absolute value (not 'relative') of firmness is concerned, as an engineer I know there are methods to measure firmness of any material, companies just don't care to go to that extent.
I am so proud of Target for putting so many cups on the shelf!!
It's totally a Target thing to do. Hoping this leads to more awareness about cups and more cups at other stores.
Just wish they would put them in every Target
These cups are too small, and Cora's customer service appears to be lacking. Hard pass, but thank you for buying the product and reviewing it for us. This channel is definitely a public service.
Yeah, the lack of customer service rubs me the wrong way! So many other options out there 🤷🏽♀️
i agree with customer service issues, however, since this video, they have increased their size 2 to a 29Ml and the size 1 to a 22ml

I was so excited to see CORA created a cup!! 💓
This cup is not on my target shelves yet. However I saw the flex discovery kit on shelves. It has some flex discs a flex cup and a pouch. I was surprised.
Lillypad3183 same I bought the Flex cup with the disc
guys could you review the organicup??? I dont know if I should buy it
Marianne López We have new ones in hand and it’s on our list!
It’s a great cup btw
Thank you so much! I’ll stay tuned then :)

It pops open very suddenly which is nice because I know it’s fully open but it’s pretty startling
I'm really excited and happy that Target is stepping up their cup game!

I didn’t know I could nudge it along !! I’m so sore omg that tip will save me.

Will you guys be reviewing the new flex cup?
Hi, I’ve taken the quiz again and I got recommended the salt soft but in the larger size, I’m only 13 though and I’m not sure which size to order?
Hi Rachel- that's definitely strange! You would want the smaller size for sure.
Put A Cup In It thank you so much! I think the quiz may have recommended the larger size because I’m quite active?
I am absolutely in LOVE with my cup! I wouldn’t have bought it if I hadn’t watched your videos.I was prepared and knew what to buy thanks to your quiz I got the Saalt cup small.Its my first cup and it’s my Goldilocks cup🎉.I love your videos there so helpful and congrats on working with Saalt!❤️
Can you Flex Cup ❓, it is also at Target.
Amanda purchased a Flex but needs time to review it
Put A Cup In It Ok I look forward to seeing them.
kim finally got a mic thank god. love your content but the mic was that one thing it was lacking
Please do the flex cup !!
It's in the works... need more periods lol
Put A Cup In It thank you !!
I have heard of Cora and I know a lot of people like it
"I have a very busy vagina" oh dear! Well said! THank you truly, for offering such a comprehensive review of so many!
This review just made me question if I need to look for a softer cup or just one with a more narrow base. I have both the regular Lena and the Lena Sensitive but they both cause too much pressure. Would a cup like this with a more narrow bottom be worth a shot even though it has a firm rim? Or should I look for something that is all around more less firm?

I’ve heard great things about Diva cups! They have a narrow bottom, but also have a good capacity. Same with Cora except the capacity is a bit smaller
Just the channel I was looking for !!!
HEY! ;) Welcome!
I've Always Loved Your Reviews...However...I Feel As If This Review Was A Basic Blah...
I just bought one and it tells me how much it'll hold by my flow with tampons
The cora cup works really good for me
The stem is weird sometimes though
Yet another amazing review thank you guys so much for your informative videos! Also, can you guys please do a review on the Si-Beauty UV cup sterilizer? It supposedly cleans cups without having to boil it but I’m not sure of its reliability.

Tried this in size 1 and it hurt too much... I guess I'm sensitive 😫
I love your collective personality!! I enjoy watching all of your reviews!! 🥰
Are cups good to use while doing high intensity workouts?
Hi! I practice swimming and I was wondering if the cup would work for this type of sport. Has anyone been in the same situation (I apologise for my terrible English, it's my second language)
I think it probably will if you do a few test runs with different sizes and softnesses.
Have yall tried the lily cup compact?
I wanted to try this and it hurt getting it in. I don't know how you guys do it.
Their website says that the large holds 29 ml and the small holds 22 ml so that's strange. I got it in comparison to the diva cup because of the shape
Plz hlp me my cup is not opn whn i insert in vegina nd blood sho in my ped
Hey nice review! What happens when you have a bowel movement? I tend to “bear down” and fear I may push it out. It happens when I used the disposable cups. I’m sure everyone has the period poops so I wonder what happens when you’re using a Cora cup
Not every target store has this product. Philadelphia target's does not have this.
I know lots of ppl may not be comfortable wearing cups, but i hope that more women that use tampons will switch to help our environment
I really want a small and softer cup. The lena sensitive is a bit too firm for me. Should I try the Cora cup or the soft saalt cup(the grey one)? Please help! lol

How about cup from wish or joom app? And how to clean it properly. Thanks.

Ladycup is a good brand and they come in fun colors. May I ask where you live?
Bangkok, Thailand.

Please do a review of Meluna Shorty Classic! I'd love to know your opinion about this cup because I want to buy it.
Can I request a review of the FLEX Cup w/ the removal string?
target has a new flex full and flex slim cup kit review please
Pls make a video on sirona cup small review
You should review the Luna cup on Amazon please
All these cups look the same looks just like a diva cup
This channel is so helpful I find cups that I never knew existed
Can you guys review the Pixie Cup? Your videos have been really helpful!

On my heavy days I go through a super tampon every 1 to 2 hours. Is there a cup you'd recommend? I've had 4 kids not sure if that makes a difference

putacupinit.com/compare/1/5,4/divacup-vs-divacup/ They're virtually identical in size and shape and the capacity is listed as the same for both.
Can you please do a review on the Organicup????😊
It's in our queue!
i loved the cora cup but it was just too small for me /: ended up switching to the saalt cup
It's a cute cup but def on the small side. Hope the Saalt works better for you
Heyy! I love your videos but can you do a review on the organicup? ❤️
I keep bugging Amanda about it, she has tried it. Go poke her to film one lol
Do the cups have measuring lines?
No I don't believe so, looking at our photos I don't see any.
What's target?
Tony Mvr Target is a store.
This is so weird...
My little sister’s name is Cora 😂
Stop using thumbs to squish!!!! Place cups together and use the length of fingers or palms of hand!!! NO thumbs!!! It's not accurate!
