I have never used a cup. But I desperately want to buy one and switch. I want to buy a lena but not sure if I should get a small or a small sensitive. I do have a low/medium cervical depending on the day of my period. I have SEVERE cramping and a small rectocele protrusion. Any advice.?
LunetteCup hey! I needed a new cup after having my diva cup size 1 for years before giving birth. I’ve tried Lena, blossom, sckoon, and a few others. The only cup that’s worked for me now is the Lunette size 2 (as well as the Lumma unique disc size large). Love the Lunette cup! 👍🏼👍🏼
When I was researching which menstrual cup to get, I took the PACII quiz and Lunette was one of the cups that was recommended to me. I have the size 1 in blue and I love it.
Hey everyone! I found a Lunette Cup and the wipes at TJ Maxx on clearance!!! For $12! The original price was 16.99 what a steal considering these are $40! So next time you find yourself in one be sure to check! I had heard for a while that others had seen them there. The one I got is in size 1 and blue! :)
I use a lunette cup (it's the only cup currently sold in Finland) and it works perfectly for me! It was my first cup and i have not stopped using it since. I actually didn't know that it originates from Finland, but that's just a bonus for me as a Finn.
most stores that do have menstrual cups (at least near my area) only offer the diva cup. a lot of people try it, don't like it, and end up just giving up on cups. more stores need to offer a greater variety of cups so people are encouraged to switch to cups
Your videos are so informative! Considering getting the lunette. Could you possibly do a video on troubleshooting? For example, what to do if you experience severe discomfort, leaking, etc. Is it placement, cup softness, etc?
I swapped from a DivaCup (to long) to a Lunette several years ago, and haven't looked back. I actually just treated myself to a new purple cup since my original blue cup is looking a little faded and stained. It'll still be my backup cup, but sometimes you just like a new pretty cup!
Last month was my first time using a cup and I used the Lena sensitive size 1. I had some leakage and it wasn't full. It was reallycomfy but I was nervous doing yoga and sleeping since it was leaking at times and wasn't sure if it was going to stay in place. Do you think the Lunette would help with the leakage and still be comfy? I appreciate the review and any commentary you may have; I could never go back to tampons even if my cup kept leaking LoL!! This group and page has changed my life for the better!! Thank you!!
Thanks for the review-ESPECIALLY the tip for cleaning those air holes. I also just found your How to Clean your cup video…THANK YOU! I think cleaning is a barrier to people wanting to using a cup.
This was so helpful! I’ve never used a menstrual cup and am looking into trying some. Took your quiz and it recommended Lunette, along with a couple others. After some research and this video, I believe I’ll be starting with this one! ❤️
Please please please review the new flex cup, it comes in a discovery kit. I just bought it, it’s my first cup and a need a professional review lol. Thank you!
Bought one today!! It’s gonna be my first one ever and I’m super excited and a little nervous.😂 Also could you guys review the new HELLO Cup! I’ve seen it on Instagram.
I took the quiz & got size 1 Lunette but i already spent 50$ a size 1 diva cup & saw that diva cups are much longer ?? I have never used a cup & know nothing 😭
I’ve been using a lunette cup for about 2 years at this point (this was also the first cup I’ve ever used) and one thing I wish I knew beforehand was that, in order for it to not leak in the first few days, I had to tug on the stem a little for it to be fully sealed. I only realized this towards the end of my period 2 months ago, so before then I had to just deal with frequent leaks for the first few days of each period. Aside from that, it’s worked pretty well for me.
I just got my first cup and it is a lunette cup but I am having a ton of trouble using it, I'm coming up on my 3rd cycle of trying to use it and I have yet to be successful. Any fold suggestions or anything like that?
I had a lot of issues with folds too! The one i found to work was the seven fold and using lube, its borderline impossible for me without it, i advice that!
I'm currently using the lena sensitive. I'm having problems with bladder sensitivity. I'm curious if the lunette would be a better fit for that reason? What are your thoughts
I use the lunette cup model 1 and I love it but I'm thinking of getting the model 2 for the days I'm heavier. I think I have a medium to low cervix and I'm 21. Would this be a good fit?
Hi! Just wondering if you could tell me your thoughts on a Lena vs Lunette please? I did the Quiz and have been recommended both. I believe I have a lowish cervix...
Lunette was my first cup and my favorite cup too (7 years already wow)! The firmness is PERFECT and it's just the right size. When I was traveling in the UK I got my period a week early on surprise and I forgot to pack my lunette (ugh!) and the only cup I could find in the Boots was the Moon cup and I didn't realize how soft other cups are! For sure prefer the Lunette.
So happy to see a review on the lunette cup!! I really want to buy a cup but I live in Greece and the only cups I could fing here are the lunette and the ruby cup. I have a high cervix but I am also a virgin. To be more comfortable I think I will buy the smaller size. Which would you recomend? The lunette or the ruby cup?
Tip from random cup using young person here; punchdown folds are your friend either way! It makes a small tip that's easier to insert comfortably and is easy to open. If you're having trouble opening it just press on the crease where the edge was pressed into the cup and it should gently pop open. Aside from being careful inserting and removing maybe go with a less firm stem if you think it may be too long, but that may not be a problem from what you said (lucky!). Hope everything works out, idk if this was helpful but it might be good for someone else. -/(^.^)\-
Hi, I'm 19 yeas old and like you I have a high cervix and also a Virgen. I use the Lunette in size 2 through the first day of my period until the 3rd or 4th because I have a heavy flow, I find it really comfortable and it doesn't hurt at all, although I did choose to cut steam in half
Today I used a menstrual cup for the first time,I tried one of those cheaper cups which are very soft and it didn't go well. I tried all kinds of folds,... twisted, wriggled, rotated it but it didn't open up inside. My vagina is sore right now from all the acrobatics 😪. I really want it to work. Maybe I should try a firmer cup. I have a medium to high cervix,and heavy flow. Is Lunette a better option for me? Please suggest.
Hi, I am a 13 year old from India and till date I had been using pads and tampons...I am thinking about switching to menstrual cups and buying Lunette (model 1)...Do you think this would be a nice choice? And should I buy a cup wash or is just rinsing it with water enough? Any help would be appreciated 😊 BTW, I found your channel extremely helpful and it cleared many of my misconceptions about menstrual cups 👍
Sorry this is kinda late, but the Lunette cup has been working for me for years (since I was 12), and it is 100% worth it. And, you don’t need a special cup wash, but you should clean it with some kind of soap (I actually just use hand soap to clean mine)
You can't use any internal devices for postpartum bleeding but you can use your cup again for the first real menstrual cycle after birth, at your discretion and comfort.
I’ve never used a cup before so I’m very nervous I won’t like it, do it right, or find one that fits well. I’ve taken your quiz and it said the saalt soft but I’ve heard it’s not always the best for newbies like me. And as dumb as this sounds, can you swim with a cup in?
Lunette size 2 is my second cup and i don't think i want to use any other cups ever because it just WORKS for me!! as what you said, i bought it without any deep contemplation and not exactly knowing the length of my cervix and all that, but after using it for 3 cycles now, i'm psyched and i'm happy to say that Lunette changes my life for the better. my period is not so annoying anymore now. love it!
I'm glad your channel exists for humans to use but I wish videos would come out in time to not be the last video review of things. Like nixit? You were the first video to mention it..... But now weeks later I stopped waiting on your review because other have since made them. I feel like that's a missed opertunity for you guys to get views but thanks for putting this information out at all.
hotwheal s We appreciate and understand that but it’s not really feasible for us to review a product after trying it for just a few days - especially if we weren’t able to nail down the usage and can speak helpfully on it - which is the case with the Nixit for me (Amanda here) We could throw something up, but I don’t feel comfortable putting something up if I don’t know I’ll feel the same after my next cycle. Sometimes products are straightforward and easy but not always.
@@PutACupInIt Personally, I would much rather have the review be thorough because one or both of you have had an opportunity to test it out on one or more of your cycles. Really thats the only way to do it, and have it be truly tested out under different circumstances. So basically, keep doin' yo thang! :)
I’m a coral size 1 user...3 years maybe? Though I am really interested in the Saalt because it’s a tad bit shorter. Hope you feel better soon. I use these little dental brushes to clean the holes. They’re meant to go between your teeth, so they are super small to fit the holes. Also, I feel like I remember the Lena cup consulted with Bryony from Precious Stars to design the cup and her favourite cups at the time were Lunette and Si Bell, so it’s got a mix of both cups’ features.
Can you recommend a cup that has the firmness of the Lunette 1 but is slightly bigger? I've used the Lunette 1 for years but I was very young when I started and now it's a little too small. I tried the Lunette 2 but it's way too firm for me (and maybe too big? I feel like there's quite a difference between the two) Thank you!
Just took your quiz! I got the lunette cup! I'm so excited you guys are the reason I'm trying out a cup for the first time and can't wait! I've never wanted my period to come so bad lol
This may be too much TMI . But I've tried so many different types of cups and I have leaks with every single one. So my question is. I take a medication that causes major constipation. So I'm wondering could being constipated cause the cups not to sit in the correct spot or not be able to open all the way? Also one time that my cup didnt leak. It took me 30 mins to get it out because of how constipated I was it was way up there. I have a very high cervix almost 2 fingers long. So I had to wait until I had a BM before I could get it out. So have you heard of this happening. Or maybe no one talks about it because it is so personal.
I have a low cervix too and found I always leaked with the lunette(Which i used for a decade). Theres so many New cups now you can try. Id go for something firm with a wider rim. There are also ones with sloped rims like fun cup. Slanted suction holes are also a good thing to check out. Some people swear by meluna but the tpe can be slow to open and stuff.
Lunette size 1 was my first cup and I started to love cups after it. But it wasn't enough for me in a heavy flow day. So I tried the bigger cup by fan factory which was a disaster to open. Every time I'd go back to Lunette frustrated. And in Russia cups are not that easy to find. But now I finally got the Lunette size 2 - the one with collaboration with monki. Rare times I'm actually excited about my period so I could try it out :D
@@WonderfullHana It's a bit firmer than size 1. And as it's a bit bigger as well, it makes it harder and I'd say a bit more painful to get in and out. But I have absolutely no problem in opening it up inside. It leaked a bit but to be fair it was after about 5 hours and my flow is quite heavy on first days. I can feel it bit right after getting it but it's not horrible and after some time I can't feel it at all. All in all, I'm satisfied with this cup and it does hold more than smaller cup. I can recommend it
This is my first cup ever and i love it 😊 i did recommend it to my friend but she said it doesnt feel comfortable, like it was too tight or big and the suction was too strong... i know nothing about cups, im a very newbie, maybe you could recommend different cup (preferably available in uk) that would be smaller and not as firm? (She got size 1 btw) thank you xx
I would say go for a medium cup in firmness. Like ruby cup. Its perfect for beginners or she wants she could go for softer cups like sckoon or meluna. Check pacii's firmness guide n take their quiz. Im sure youll find something
So I have been using the Lena small for two cycles and I have been leaking both flipping times! I trimmed the stem twice and it goes higher to the point where it hard to reach. I retook the cup quiz and recommended the Ruby cup M but I’m scared. I’m 15 and a virgin and I doubt to use it but i kind of want to. The first time I measured on my cycle it reached to my second knuckle. Every single time I measure now, it reaches to my first knuckle. I think that means I have a short cervix but idk. It’s 1.5”. It recommended me Ruby Cup M, Lunette 2, and Saalt M. I’m not for sure and kind of frustrated, please help
I have been using super Jennie cup for 5 years now, really get on well with it, however the discolouration really bothers me. I am thinking of getting lunette cup in size 1 as I don’t have a heavy flow or have given birth so I guess should be better fit. Did you say you got rid of the stains by using hydrogen peroxide? Is it safe? Do you have a video how to do it??
As a first time cup user at 31, my Lunette 1 kinda slipped down a bit. Why?? My cervix is at 2inches up on period days and almost had to trim off the stem completely! Please help. Why the slippage?do I have a low or avg height cervix?
I purchased my lunette model 2 a year ago because I am 32 and have had 2 vaginal births, but I have soooooo much trouble getting it to fully unfold, it feels almost fully open, I try to push the vaginal walls and move the cup around but just can't get it to fully unfold so I'm always leaking a little bit (sometimes A LOT), I usually have a couple of spots some hours or a day before I get my full period and I would like to use my lunette since then but I CAN'T because it's just too painful to keep inside if I'm not on my period, also on my heaviest day I fill a little less than halfway in a 12 or hour period... In your experience does that mean it's big for me?, I noticed the model 1 is only 5mm smaller so I'm not sure about switching to that one ... do you think those 5mm will do the difference?, or is there a cup you would recommend? (I'm okay with the length and firmness of my lunette model 2)
Smaller size is one of my goldilocks on lighter days. Needed a softer big cup for my heavy days, lunette bigger size gave me cramps. At the time I got it (over a decade ago) they only made it in clear colour.
I selected my Lunette 8 years ago because they did their sizing based on flow. I remember that because the other sizing method was extremely off-putting to me... Therefore, I don't think it's new.
It has an average length body but it does have a decent stem. If your cervix is unreachable, it might not be best, but if you can reach it at all I would say it's a safe bet in terms of length
I’ve just recently started looking into cups. I just got the lunette cup to start. I used to for one day, but it was so painful to remove I have never tried it again. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong because I have watched everyone one of your videos and have checked everything. However, it is still so incredibly painful to remove, and after the first time I can’t get it to close up again. Any advice?
Does it have measurements inside? Its a weird thing with me lol... i love seeing measurements. Is there a way to check for that besides zooming in like crazy?
I want some advices actually I took the cup test but I am not really sure so here am I 😅 so I am an active teen ( do a lot of sport) and so the test recommended me the hello cup but after watching your review I saw that it have a lot of chances to leak because it is made of TPE and so become more oval after few uses and plus it is pretty hard to insert for a first timer which is my case. So I am wondering is the lunette one appropriate for my active and beginner self... please someone help...
I just got the Lunette 2 and I'm experiencing some discomfort/cramping after about an hour of wear. Is this a size issue (length is fine, more concerned with width), firmness issue, or an insertion issue? Or none of the above?
While I have not tried the Lunette, I did buy their on-the-go cup wipes. I want to try the Lunette, but how would it perform for someone with a higher cervix? I loved the Saalt cup, but found it to be more difficult come removal time.
Hi so ik this video is old but any help is appreciated my cup is leaking the tiniest bit and I still have to wear a panty liner but not a pad. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?!?
This is still my favorite go to cup since I've tried menstrual cups 5 years ago. I do like the Athena cup as well. But like she says the lunette is so reliable and I never get leaks because of the great suction!
My fave cup! My dream cup would be if Lunette produced a Diva cup. lol. A bit slimmer and longer than Lunette, but the same stem, silicone and suction release holes. Probably never gonna happen, but I am happy enough with my two almost perfect cups :)
Was my first. Loved her! But i lost it and bought a divacup because it was convenient when i wanted a cup immediately. I still think about her every day!
It's an okay cup for me, but sometimes the Lunette sits oddly in body for some reason. I do like that it's yellow. I like the Eva cup much more than I do the Lunette even though they are very very similar. I find myself going back to the Eva cup 1 once my periods lightens up.
Hi,I am 14 years old and i have high cervix,so my guestion is : is lunette a good cup for young beginers with high cervix? And i am working out every day so my muscles are guite strong.Thank you in advance for your reply.
A Lunette is good based on how firm it is- as for being good for a high cervix that would depend on how high. putacupinit.com/chart has measurements for cups. Lunette is pretty average so if your cervix is very high keep that in mind. And if you try it and can't reach the cup for removal remember the bearing down trick to get it lower :)
I'm not Kim, but I can try to help lol I have both Diva Cup and Lunette. Both size 1. Diva cup is longer than Lunette, I cut the stems off both and Diva was still too long for me. As for firmness, they are about the same. Lunette may be a bit more firm though. Diva cup has MUCH SMALLER holes for suction. I found that the Diva Cup would move around through the day, whereas Lunette stays in place with better suction.
Hi ❤️ just got the Lunette cup and it says to wash it with a specific cup washing rinse… which I didn’t know I needed… is it ok to just wash it with regular soap and water?
What are your other top two cups? And which you use the most? Would the lunette be more easy to remove than the saalt regular? I have a hard time taking it out! I try bringing it down using the stem and then as soon as I try to pinch the base, it moves back up and out of the reach for my fingers to pinch it! I tried releasing the seal on top with a finger but as soon as I hold the base, the cup forms the seal again! Please help!
Lunette and Saalt are very similar in firmness so I don't know that one would be easier for you to remove than the other. Did you try bearing the cup down first before pinching the base to remove so it's lower? putacupinit.com/removal
Lunette is my fave! What is the color you have that was discontinued?? Is it the lighter blue one? That’s the one I have too and noticed the blue one now is brighter!
We could.. but it wouldn't be helpful, which is why we haven't. We aren't fans of it for ourselves and can't really offer anything constructive for anyone it might work better for because it's super hit or miss. For those it works for, they LOVE it, and the rest feel quite the opposite (vs most cups that are of a typical shape and will more or less fit most people but might not be their ideal cup). For reference... for me, it was much like trying to make balloon animals in my vagina. I could never get it comfortable or open and it squeaked terribly. I tried multiple times but it's a hard pass for me. It might be entertaining, but I'm not sure it would be helpful to anyone. -A
Samantha Nelson I have been using the FemmyCycle for several years now. I used to have a UA-cam channel of my own which had some menstrual cup reviews, but I closed the channel down. However, if you want just one girls personal opinion about it, I would be happy to share my experience with you. Feel free to message me :)
@@theresamariondicesare1878 I actually ended up ordering. It and thanks to Amazon prime I have it now. I get the balloon animal thing. It's my first cup. I'm liking but getting used to it still
I just got my lunette today and there is definite pressure especially when I pee and once it started sliding down even though I seemed to be open all the way and sealed. Am I not getting it high enough? Help!
I'm a menstrual cup virgin... Planning on starting my journey from next month onwards... First I didn't know much about about them but thanks to your channel and some others am fully informed now.. just one thing though... I'm also super confused! I measured myself and I think I have a high cervix... According to your quiz I should look into a lily cup...but some other channels mention that even a Lunette cup and a Saalt original cup will work and fit fine... After learning more about those I'm still unable to pick one...!!! I love the shape of the lily cup, I love the colours of the Lunette and I love the feel and look of Saalt original as well. I do get a lot of cramps and in the first 2 days I do bleed heavy ..third day onwards it's super light... What do I do??? This newcomer could really use your help!
The Lily Cup is a wonderful cup for a high cervix. While the body of the Lunette and Saalt aren’t as long, the stems help give them some extra length to be able to reach. If potentially having to reach a little doesn’t nothing you, then there’s no reason not to try the one you want. Some people just aren’t comfortable with that, or have anxiety about removal
@@PutACupInIt thank you so much for your response.i think I'll go with the lily cup only... It's slimmer too so I'm thinking it'll be more comfortable for me as well. Lots of love from India! Thanks again!
I just got the Lunette Cup and it was really uncomfortable. It was my first time to trying a cup... Is there any troubleshooting videos? I really want to continue trying but it was sooo uncomfortable, and trying to get it out was worse so im nervous to try again. Can you use lube on them? thinking that might help
Lubricant may help and is safe to use. Just use something silicone safe. We have different troubleshooting videos but if you need more help, our facebook community is incredible for that vag.life/cupnation
The regular Lily Cup is rimless, smooth, and very tapered. It's also the longest cup on the market. Lunette is a better length for most people. If you have a high cervix the Lily is a good option. putacupinit.com/compare/1/38,37,14,13/lily-cup-vs-lily-cup-vs-lunette-vs-lunette/
Stephanie: I used to have an IUD (not currently though). I have tried both the Paragard and the Mirena. And I used menstrual cups the entire time I had each of them. I never had any issues with using them together. I would be more than happy to share more of my experience with you, if you need it. :)
We have this on our list and have procured some items to help us better do this, but we definitely want to do it right. For now just know there are many users with IUD's who successfully use cups, and a much smaller number that have had issues. So it's your comfort to decide if you want to try one and you would always want to break the suction when removing the cup and also always check your strings.
Amanda has, I have not. The Oreganicup is softer than Lunette by one step, we rate Lunette 2 as a 3, Lunette 2 as a 4 and Organicup as a 2. putacupinit.com/firmness
WOW, what a wonderful surprise! Thanks so much for being such a loyal Lunette user!! We're pretty psyched to be one of your Goldilocks cup!
You guys are the best! Lunette has been my cup for a few yrs ❤

love your reviews!

Hope you love your new cup, and Kim actually reviewed Hello a while back! ua-cam.com/video/zeAlkLZwDdY/v-deo.html
I took the quiz & got size 1 Lunette but i already spent 50$ a size 1 diva cup & saw that diva cups are much longer ?? I have never used a cup & know nothing 😭
I feel you Kim. Spring allergies are killing me rn.
I wish it had been allergies! I was SICK and miserable, then gave to my son who was sick and miserable for most of our vacation. SAD!
Lunette is also my go to! I recently got rid of most of my other cups because I found it was really the only one I was reaching for.
I’ve been using a lunette cup for about 2 years at this point (this was also the first cup I’ve ever used) and one thing I wish I knew beforehand was that, in order for it to not leak in the first few days, I had to tug on the stem a little for it to be fully sealed.

I use the lunette cup model 1 and I love it but I'm thinking of getting the model 2 for the days I'm heavier. I think I have a medium to low cervix and I'm 21. Would this be a good fit?
It’s a bit bigger than the size 1 but height wise it should work.
@@PutACupInIt Thanks! 😊
I got a Lunette model 1 cup for Christmas 2021. Now I’m just waiting to try it. 🥰 Looking forward to not having to buy disposables again.
Hi! Just wondering if you could tell me your thoughts on a Lena vs Lunette please? I did the Quiz and have been recommended both. I believe I have a lowish cervix...
Lunette was my first cup and my favorite cup too (7 years already wow)! The firmness is PERFECT and it's just the right size. When I was traveling in the UK I got my period a week early on surprise and I forgot to pack my lunette (ugh!) and the only cup I could find in the Boots was the Moon cup and I didn't realize how soft other cups are! For sure prefer the Lunette.
The purple one is behind you!!! Omg I can’t believe I’ve seen it even that I’m stoned hahahahahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣❤️ Peace ✌🏻 and love 💝
The yellow cup size 2 is on sale on target for 15.99, I’m a about to try this brand, hope it goes well
How much did it cost?
So happy to see a review on the lunette cup!! I really want to buy a cup but I live in Greece and the only cups I could fing here are the lunette and the ruby cup.
I have a high cervix but I am also a virgin. To be more comfortable I think I will buy the smaller size. Which would you recomend? The lunette or the ruby cup?
Tip from random cup using young person here; punchdown folds are your friend either way! It makes a small tip that's easier to insert comfortably and is easy to open. If you're having trouble opening it just press on the crease where the edge was pressed into the cup and it should gently pop open. Aside from being careful inserting and removing maybe go with a less firm stem if you think it may be too long, but that may not be a problem from what you said (lucky!). Hope everything works out, idk if this was helpful but it might be good for someone else. -/(^.^)\-
Both are great cups - and we agree that the punch down fold is the best way to start
Hi, I'm 19 yeas old and like you I have a high cervix and also a Virgen. I use the Lunette in size 2 through the first day of my period until the 3rd or 4th because I have a heavy flow, I find it really comfortable and it doesn't hurt at all, although I did choose to cut steam in half
@@logicvs.everything7230 thank you!!!
@@danielacrucesperez6901 thank you very much! I might buy the lunette size 2 afterall 😅
Awwww her kitty is so cute that tiny meow
Today I used a menstrual cup for the first time,I tried one of those cheaper cups which are very soft and it didn't go well. I tried all kinds of folds,... twisted, wriggled, rotated it but it didn't open up inside. My vagina is sore right now from all the acrobatics 😪. I really want it to work. Maybe I should try a firmer cup. I have a medium to high cervix,and heavy flow. Is Lunette a better option for me? Please suggest.
Hi,
I am a 13 year old from India and till date I had been using pads and tampons...I am thinking about switching to menstrual cups and buying Lunette (model 1)...Do you think this would be a nice choice?
And should I buy a cup wash or is just rinsing it with water enough?
Any help would be appreciated 😊
BTW, I found your channel extremely helpful and it cleared many of my misconceptions about menstrual cups 👍
Sorry this is kinda late, but the Lunette cup has been working for me for years (since I was 12), and it is 100% worth it. And, you don’t need a special cup wash, but you should clean it with some kind of soap (I actually just use hand soap to clean mine)
Question:
First time mom and I have been using my lunette since 2015
How long after delivery will I be able to use my lunette again?
You can't use any internal devices for postpartum bleeding but you can use your cup again for the first real menstrual cycle after birth, at your discretion and comfort.
I’ve never used a cup before so I’m very nervous I won’t like it, do it right, or find one that fits well. I’ve taken your quiz and it said the saalt soft but I’ve heard it’s not always the best for newbies like me. And as dumb as this sounds, can you swim with a cup in?
That was my first cup and I love it too!
Lunette size 2 is my second cup and i don't think i want to use any other cups ever because it just WORKS for me!! as what you said, i bought it without any deep contemplation and not exactly knowing the length of my cervix and all that, but after using it for 3 cycles now, i'm psyched and i'm happy to say that Lunette changes my life for the better. my period is not so annoying anymore now. love it!
I'm glad your channel exists for humans to use but I wish videos would come out in time to not be the last video review of things. Like nixit? You were the first video to mention it..... But now weeks later I stopped waiting on your review because other have since made them. I feel like that's a missed opertunity for you guys to get views but thanks for putting this information out at all.
hotwheal s We appreciate and understand that but it’s not really feasible for us to review a product after trying it for just a few days - especially if we weren’t able to nail down the usage and can speak helpfully on it - which is the case with the Nixit for me (Amanda here) We could throw something up, but I don’t feel comfortable putting something up if I don’t know I’ll feel the same after my next cycle. Sometimes products are straightforward and easy but not always.
@@PutACupInIt Personally, I would much rather have the review be thorough because one or both of you have had an opportunity to test it out on one or more of your cycles. Really thats the only way to do it, and have it be truly tested out under different circumstances. So basically, keep doin' yo thang! :)
I’m a coral size 1 user...3 years maybe? Though I am really interested in the Saalt because it’s a tad bit shorter. Hope you feel better soon. I use these little dental brushes to clean the holes. They’re meant to go between your teeth, so they are super small to fit the holes. Also, I feel like I remember the Lena cup consulted with Bryony from Precious Stars to design the cup and her favourite cups at the time were Lunette and Si Bell, so it’s got a mix of both cups’ features.
Lunette cup looks similar to sirona cup. Could you please make an comparison video of Lunette and sirona cup
Can you recommend a cup that has the firmness of the Lunette 1 but is slightly bigger? I've used the Lunette 1 for years but I was very young when I started and now it's a little too small. I tried the Lunette 2 but it's way too firm for me (and maybe too big? I feel like there's quite a difference between the two) Thank you!
Just took your quiz! I got the lunette cup! I'm so excited you guys are the reason I'm trying out a cup for the first time and can't wait! I've never wanted my period to come so bad lol
I bought it from Amazon. Is it original. Just want to know how to check originality of product
This may be too much TMI . But I've tried so many different types of cups and I have leaks with every single one. So my question is. I take a medication that causes major constipation. So I'm wondering could being constipated cause the cups not to sit in the correct spot or not be able to open all the way? Also one time that my cup didnt leak. It took me 30 mins to get it out because of how constipated I was it was way up there. I have a very high cervix almost 2 fingers long. So I had to wait until I had a BM before I could get it out. So have you heard of this happening. Or maybe no one talks about it because it is so personal.
I have a low cervix too and found I always leaked with the lunette(Which i used for a decade). Theres so many New cups now you can try. Id go for something firm with a wider rim. There are also ones with sloped rims like fun cup. Slanted suction holes are also a good thing to check out. Some people swear by meluna but the tpe can be slow to open and stuff.
All ur reviews and videos are great! They’ve helped me so much ❤️
Lunette size 1 was my first cup and I started to love cups after it. But it wasn't enough for me in a heavy flow day. So I tried the bigger cup by fan factory which was a disaster to open. Every time I'd go back to Lunette frustrated. And in Russia cups are not that easy to find. But now I finally got the Lunette size 2 - the one with collaboration with monki. Rare times I'm actually excited about my period so I could try it out :D
please let us know how it works out
@@WonderfullHana It's a bit firmer than size 1. And as it's a bit bigger as well, it makes it harder and I'd say a bit more painful to get in and out. But I have absolutely no problem in opening it up inside. It leaked a bit but to be fair it was after about 5 hours and my flow is quite heavy on first days. I can feel it bit right after getting it but it's not horrible and after some time I can't feel it at all. All in all, I'm satisfied with this cup and it does hold more than smaller cup. I can recommend it
Nice video beatification of feminism
I just ordered the lunette cup as my first menstrual cup!
Hey, how was it? I'm thinking of getting one too 🙈🙈
This is my first cup ever and i love it 😊 i did recommend it to my friend but she said it doesnt feel comfortable, like it was too tight or big and the suction was too strong... i know nothing about cups, im a very newbie, maybe you could recommend different cup (preferably available in uk) that would be smaller and not as firm? (She got size 1 btw) thank you xx
Marta Tonenka they have a facebook group called "put a cup in it community", i'm sure they can help you :)
I would say go for a medium cup in firmness. Like ruby cup. Its perfect for beginners or she wants she could go for softer cups like sckoon or meluna. Check pacii's firmness guide n take their quiz. Im sure youll find something
could you guys review the organicup ?
We recently received the new models (ours were quite old) and that is on the horizon!
So I have been using the Lena small for two cycles and I have been leaking both flipping times! I trimmed the stem twice and it goes higher to the point where it hard to reach. I retook the cup quiz and recommended the Ruby cup M but I’m scared. I’m 15 and a virgin and I doubt to use it but i kind of want to. The first time I measured on my cycle it reached to my second knuckle. Every single time I measure now, it reaches to my first knuckle. I think that means I have a short cervix but idk. It’s 1.5”. It recommended me Ruby Cup M, Lunette 2, and Saalt M. I’m not for sure and kind of frustrated, please help
I have been using super Jennie cup for 5 years now, really get on well with it, however the discolouration really bothers me. I am thinking of getting lunette cup in size 1 as I don’t have a heavy flow or have given birth so I guess should be better fit.
Did you say you got rid of the stains by using hydrogen peroxide? Is it safe? Do you have a video how to do it??
As a first time cup user at 31, my Lunette 1 kinda slipped down a bit. Why?? My cervix is at 2inches up on period days and almost had to trim off the stem completely! Please help. Why the slippage?do I have a low or avg height cervix?
I purchased my lunette model 2 a year ago because I am 32 and have had 2 vaginal births, but I have soooooo much trouble getting it to fully unfold, it feels almost fully open, I try to push the vaginal walls and move the cup around but just can't get it to fully unfold so I'm always leaking a little bit (sometimes A LOT), I usually have a couple of spots some hours or a day before I get my full period and I would like to use my lunette since then but I CAN'T because it's just too painful to keep inside if I'm not on my period, also on my heaviest day I fill a little less than halfway in a 12 or hour period...
In your experience does that mean it's big for me?, I noticed the model 1 is only 5mm smaller so I'm not sure about switching to that one ... do you think those 5mm will do the difference?, or is there a cup you would recommend? (I'm okay with the length and firmness of my lunette model 2)
Smaller size is one of my goldilocks on lighter days.
Needed a softer big cup for my heavy days, lunette bigger size gave me cramps.
At the time I got it (over a decade ago) they only made it in clear colour.
I selected my Lunette 8 years ago because they did their sizing based on flow. I remember that because the other sizing method was extremely off-putting to me... Therefore, I don't think it's new.
Is lunette advisable for high cervix?
It has an average length body but it does have a decent stem. If your cervix is unreachable, it might not be best, but if you can reach it at all I would say it's a safe bet in terms of length
I’ve just recently started looking into cups. I just got the lunette cup to start. I used to for one day, but it was so painful to remove I have never tried it again. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong because I have watched everyone one of your videos and have checked everything. However, it is still so incredibly painful to remove, and after the first time I can’t get it to close up again. Any advice?
Does it have measurements inside? Its a weird thing with me lol... i love seeing measurements. Is there a way to check for that besides zooming in like crazy?
I want some advices actually I took the cup test but I am not really sure so here am I 😅 so I am an active teen ( do a lot of sport) and so the test recommended me the hello cup but after watching your review I saw that it have a lot of chances to leak because it is made of TPE and so become more oval after few uses and plus it is pretty hard to insert for a first timer which is my case. So I am wondering is the lunette one appropriate for my active and beginner self... please someone help...
I just got the Lunette 2 and I'm experiencing some discomfort/cramping after about an hour of wear. Is this a size issue (length is fine, more concerned with width), firmness issue, or an insertion issue? Or none of the above?
While I have not tried the Lunette, I did buy their on-the-go cup wipes. I want to try the Lunette, but how would it perform for someone with a higher cervix? I loved the Saalt cup, but found it to be more difficult come removal time.
Hi so ik this video is old but any help is appreciated my cup is leaking the tiniest bit and I still have to wear a panty liner but not a pad. What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?!?
This is still my favorite go to cup since I've tried menstrual cups 5 years ago. I do like the Athena cup as well. But like she says the lunette is so reliable and I never get leaks because of the great suction!
I just started using a cup & I started with Lunette, currently have it in for the first time!
My fave cup! My dream cup would be if Lunette produced a Diva cup. lol. A bit slimmer and longer than Lunette, but the same stem, silicone and suction release holes. Probably never gonna happen, but I am happy enough with my two almost perfect cups :)
Ive tried lena sensitive and salt and both slide down on me and do not stay in place, therefore leak. Would lunettes perhaps hold better?
I have a very low cervix, would this work for me?
Was my first. Loved her! But i lost it and bought a divacup because it was convenient when i wanted a cup immediately. I still think about her every day!
Thanks for the super chilled talk about cups! :)
It's an okay cup for me, but sometimes the Lunette sits oddly in body for some reason. I do like that it's yellow. I like the Eva cup much more than I do the Lunette even though they are very very similar. I find myself going back to the Eva cup 1 once my periods lightens up.
Is the lunette cup good for low cervixes?
How is the stem like? I need it to be super soft as I'm super sensitive
Love this!
Hi,I am 14 years old and i have high cervix,so my guestion is : is lunette a good cup for young beginers with high cervix? And i am working out every day so my muscles are guite strong.Thank you in advance for your reply.
A Lunette is good based on how firm it is- as for being good for a high cervix that would depend on how high. putacupinit.com/chart has measurements for cups. Lunette is pretty average so if your cervix is very high keep that in mind. And if you try it and can't reach the cup for removal remember the bearing down trick to get it lower :)
Hi Kim! May you comment please on how Lunette compares to Diva Cup, regarding firmness, ect?
I'm not Kim, but I can try to help lol I have both Diva Cup and Lunette. Both size 1. Diva cup is longer than Lunette, I cut the stems off both and Diva was still too long for me. As for firmness, they are about the same. Lunette may be a bit more firm though. Diva cup has MUCH SMALLER holes for suction. I found that the Diva Cup would move around through the day, whereas Lunette stays in place with better suction.
Have you ever reviewed the Dutchess Cup??
Hi ❤️ just got the Lunette cup and it says to wash it with a specific cup washing rinse… which I didn’t know I needed… is it ok to just wash it with regular soap and water?
I’ve been using a Lunettes cup for years, and yes, it is totally okay to wash it with regular soap. (I actually just use hand soap) I hope this helps!
What are your other top two cups? And which you use the most? Would the lunette be more easy to remove than the saalt regular? I have a hard time taking it out! I try bringing it down using the stem and then as soon as I try to pinch the base, it moves back up and out of the reach for my fingers to pinch it! I tried releasing the seal on top with a finger but as soon as I hold the base, the cup forms the seal again! Please help!
Lunette and Saalt are very similar in firmness so I don't know that one would be easier for you to remove than the other. Did you try bearing the cup down first before pinching the base to remove so it's lower? putacupinit.com/removal
Lunette is my fave! What is the color you have that was discontinued?? Is it the lighter blue one? That’s the one I have too and noticed the blue one now is brighter!
It was a pinkish color... not sure the name of it.
Can you do a review on femmy cycle cup
We could.. but it wouldn't be helpful, which is why we haven't. We aren't fans of it for ourselves and can't really offer anything constructive for anyone it might work better for because it's super hit or miss. For those it works for, they LOVE it, and the rest feel quite the opposite (vs most cups that are of a typical shape and will more or less fit most people but might not be their ideal cup). For reference... for me, it was much like trying to make balloon animals in my vagina. I could never get it comfortable or open and it squeaked terribly. I tried multiple times but it's a hard pass for me. It might be entertaining, but I'm not sure it would be helpful to anyone. -A
@@PutACupInIt that helps thank you so much

I have been using the FemmyCycle for several years now. I used to have a UA-cam channel of my own which had some menstrual cup reviews, but I closed the channel down. However, if you want just one girls personal opinion about it, I would be happy to share my experience with you. Feel free to message me :)
@@theresamariondicesare1878 I actually ended up ordering. It and thanks to Amazon prime I have it now. I get the balloon animal thing. It's my first cup. I'm liking but getting used to it still
I just got my lunette today and there is definite pressure especially when I pee and once it started sliding down even though I seemed to be open all the way and sealed. Am I not getting it high enough? Help!
You can take the quiz here if that is truly recommended for you putacupinit.com/quiz/
@@nikkimarieapilando7018 thanks. It is one of the ones off my recommendation list.
Can u suggest me any good harder cup that will easily open 🤔
Anything a 4 or up on our chart should spring open easily - putacupinit.com/chart
I'm a menstrual cup virgin... Planning on starting my journey from next month onwards... First I didn't know much about about them but thanks to your channel and some others am fully informed now.. just one thing though... I'm also super confused! I measured myself and I think I have a high cervix... According to your quiz I should look into a lily cup...but some other channels mention that even a Lunette cup and a Saalt original cup will work and fit fine... After learning more about those I'm still unable to pick one...!!! I love the shape of the lily cup, I love the colours of the Lunette and I love the feel and look of Saalt original as well. I do get a lot of cramps and in the first 2 days I do bleed heavy ..third day onwards it's super light... What do I do??? This newcomer could really use your help!
The Lily Cup is a wonderful cup for a high cervix. While the body of the Lunette and Saalt aren’t as long, the stems help give them some extra length to be able to reach. If potentially having to reach a little doesn’t nothing you, then there’s no reason not to try the one you want. Some people just aren’t comfortable with that, or have anxiety about removal
@@PutACupInIt thank you so much for your response.i think I'll go with the lily cup only... It's slimmer too so I'm thinking it'll be more comfortable for me as well. Lots of love from India! Thanks again!
Does anyone know if the Lunette is softer than the June cup?
The Lunette is a firmer cup
yellow or orange cup?
I just got the Lunette Cup and it was really uncomfortable. It was my first time to trying a cup... Is there any troubleshooting videos? I really want to continue trying but it was sooo uncomfortable, and trying to get it out was worse so im nervous to try again. Can you use lube on them? thinking that might help
Lubricant may help and is safe to use. Just use something silicone safe. We have different troubleshooting videos but if you need more help, our facebook community is incredible for that vag.life/cupnation
@@PutACupInIt thanks, i'll check the fb page out and will try lube to help for now😊
First day for me....
I use also a lunette and i just loooove it
How does it compare to the Lily cup?
The regular Lily Cup is rimless, smooth, and very tapered. It's also the longest cup on the market. Lunette is a better length for most people. If you have a high cervix the Lily is a good option. putacupinit.com/compare/1/38,37,14,13/lily-cup-vs-lily-cup-vs-lunette-vs-lunette/
can u wear the same cup for the rest of ur life
They last around 10 years
Can I request a video about menstrual cups/disks while having an IUD? Great vid btw!
Stephanie: I used to have an IUD (not currently though). I have tried both the Paragard and the Mirena. And I used menstrual cups the entire time I had each of them. I never had any issues with using them together. I would be more than happy to share more of my experience with you, if you need it. :)
We have this on our list and have procured some items to help us better do this, but we definitely want to do it right. For now just know there are many users with IUD's who successfully use cups, and a much smaller number that have had issues. So it's your comfort to decide if you want to try one and you would always want to break the suction when removing the cup and also always check your strings.
Have you tried the organicup?
Amanda has, I have not. The Oreganicup is softer than Lunette by one step, we rate Lunette 2 as a 3, Lunette 2 as a 4 and Organicup as a 2. putacupinit.com/firmness
suomi mainittu🇫🇮🇫🇮
Why i feel pain when i am setting on chair or bed during using of cup ?
Havent tried it but i have heard people cut some part of the stem if it is too long and creates discomfort
Perhaps you need to trim the stem
I love Lunette, I have the size 1 and 2 and love them both. I also love SAALT, and it's like the Lunette 1 :)
Does it work for a low cervix?
The bigger size might be too big if you have a low cervix so give the smaller size a go
It really depends on how low... the cervix could dip into the size 2 in some cases... or the smaller one is just shorter.
@@PutACupInIt what if its 20mm?
