Considering buying a menstrual cup...

[Bellini]

I just ordered the ball one

I hope it's the right one. The little spiel said it was the most popular shape

ETA: It only cost about $30 including postage. Wow, so cheap!

i didnt see a ring one, just basic or ball... and like bellini just said, the blurb thing says the ball is the most popular cos its easier to get out.

The ring stem would be best, but she doesnt have any, if youre not in a hurry for it email her and she will tell you when they are back in stock, if you have to get it now the ball would be better than the normal, but i havent tried it.

ETA: Im sire the ball would be great too, i pull mine out by the ring, but i can see a Ball would be just as easy.

Bellini they are cheap, which is why i recommend them to people, especially beginners.

Are these the ring ones you mean?

Hi MimiGrace! would your advice be the MeLuna?

I've only used the lunette and diva cup's so i don't really know the meluna

i like everything i've heard so far, but i love my lunette too much to consider buying anything else

ETA: i just use the tab to pull the cup just low enough that i can grab the cup itself - i don't use it to pull it out, and i don't think that i'd use the ring to pull the whole thing out - i've always found that if i squish the cup, i break the vacuum seal, and it is far easier to fold and remove that way :-) HTH's

how does the ring work exactly?
Do you actually put your finger through the ring? or just grab the ring with 2 fingers iykwim?

MimiGrace ~ i think ill get a MeLuna first, then if im not fully happy ill step up to a lunette

Sara, i dont pull it out by the ring, gosh no, that would hurt. I grab the ring between my fingers and use my pelvic floor to get it lower then grab the bottom of hte cup and squeeze to break the suction then pull it out from there (it is easier to pull out that the Lunette because it is more bendy, the Lunette is quite stiff). I find hte ring easier as the Lunette stem gets slippery and the little dent things dont help me grip it, i find myself digging deeper to pull the Lunette out by the bottom rather than the stem, then breaking the suction ect.

Yes that is the ring one i was talking about, i dont know how much that site will be to order from though.
