I’ve tried a menstrual cup before and I’m under the age of 18, but in one of the questions it was bout the experience on the cup and I don’t know if it counts a lot on that question, but I couldn’t even get my cup in it was an Eva Cup, I swear that cup made me cry from being so stressed out because I had the smaller size and I couldn’t use it. But, Is the Lunette like it at all? I think the Eva cup was a firm cup so is the Lunette firm or soft? I mean like the Model 1. Also Can someone give me tips on how to insert it Like folds for teens? The 7-fold is the best!
It makes it so easy to insert a cup. When I got my first (and perfect-for-me) cup, a Lunette model 1, I had trouble with the suggested C-/U-fold. But I did some research on different folds and found that the 7 fold worked for me. Lunette even has a video of some different types of folds to try on YouTube.
The Lunette is medium firmness I think and the lip isn’t that much stiffer than the rest of the cup. A stiffer lip helps your cup to open inside.I also recommend doing some kegel exercises. They are really helpful in being able to push down your cup if you don’t want to reach inside as well as being able to relax your muscles down there so insertion is easier.Best of luck to you! My menstrual cup was a life changer.
I am a first time user and sooo glad I found you site. It’s very informative (& entertaining)! I took the quiz and was told the Lena Large and the Lunette size 2. I have tried both and found that the Lunette was so much easier to insert. With the LENA, I had to try multiple times, over and over, to insert b/c there were times that it stayed folded up. I also noticed that it sat a lot lower than I expected.
I didn’t have any leaks, so I must’ve been placing it correctlt. After 3 days of using the cup, it wasn’t painful or uncomfortable but I did know it was there. I’m now in the process of trying the Lunette and already noticed one huge difference. The Lunette is more flexible/pliable, which made folding and inserting a heck of a lot easier. Which brings me to one of my questions.

How did the quiz come up with these two cups for me when they are so clearly different? After reviewing your chart and watching some of your videos, I’d like to suggest that you add another column regarding flexibility of the cup. This category could/would definitely be a factor in helping those (like myself) who are 1st time cup users. This will help them inserting/retrieving the cup for the first time. The LENA, which was definitely the thicker of the two, was,uch harder to fold and to keep said fold, while trying to insert and place it correctly. This category will also help others like myself, who have arthritic hands (or RA).
Having to continually try to keep the fold while inserting it was very tough on my hands. (I had to stop several times & wait until my hands were able to try the process again b/c of the pain of trying to hold that fold over & over again.)One more suggestion would be to add a category for us women who are going “through the change”. During perimenopause, the cervix starts changing. It might also be helpful to include a list of safe (if any) lubricants to use, b/c the vaginal canal becomes dryer and dryer the closer we get to menopause.
This would also help someone who experiences pain or discomfort when trying to insert the cup. It could make it easier for a teen to insert also.I wanna thank you ladies again for sharing your knowledge on menstrual cups. You tackle the issues in an educational, yet fun & hilarious, ways. So I’m stuck with my diva cup size 2 right now.
It was awesome first 2-3 cycles but I’m about 6ish cycles in and I’m having such a hard time getting a seal. It’s ok the first two lighter days of my cycle and the last two, but the 3 heavy days are hard to get the seal and or to get it to open completely. What am I doing wrong?
Is there any way to make this work? Took the quiz just now and it said Lunette 2 or Lena large. Can’t buy Lunette here in Canada ( just did a quick search, and I mean in stores. Not a fan of online shopping just getting). Leah, rest assured that whatever cup you decide to use, even when it goes too high, you should still be able to get to it. If you cannot, thats when you make your appointment with your doctor.
Before I started using a cup, this was something I feared also. I researched on YouTube and came across a young woman who talked about how her menstrual cup turned upside down inside her. She has a multitude of videos that gives awesome advice about using a cup, how to handle certain situations, etc. I highly recommend you watching some of her videos. Hope this helps some.
