After a while of hesitating, I decided to give cups a try, so this was my first cup. It's brilliant—compared to tampons, it is more comfortable, more convenient, and I feel more confident about avoiding leaks. I was apprehensive about insertion and removal, but found the whole process easier than expected. I find the seal is created very easily once the cup is in place. Removal can be a bit tough at first: I found I had to 'bear down' to bring the cup further in reach, and then it's simply a matter of pinching to break the seal, after which it should come out easily. Do not simply tug on the stem without breaking the seal!Using a cup is less drying than tampons, you have to carry only one small thing in your bag, and there's no guesswork about which absorbancy you need. I also found out that cups cary a much lower risk of TSS. Of course, being reusuable, it is also better for the environment, as well as saving you money. I am kicking myself for not trying it sooner.I started using the cup towards the end of my period, when it was lighter. I think this helped me get used to using it with less risk of mess, so would recommend this to any others just trying it out for the first time.

I first bought the small Lena cup, as it was my first time using a period cup. The cup was easy to put in and the instructions that came with the product were really useful.I struggled the first couple of times removing the cup, but that was purely because it was the first few times of trying. After a couple of removals, it was really easy to do.Unfortunately though, my periods were too heavy for the small cup, as I had to keep on emptying it every 2-3 hours, so I emailed the Lena team and asked if it were possible to ship me the larger cup, as I was leaking with the small cup. They were so helpful and just asked a bit more about the reason behind why I felt I needed the larger size and shipped me the large Lena cup no problem (and no additional charge).The large Lena cup was just as easy to put in and remove as the small cup. I had no leaks with the large cup and haven't needed to empty it nearly as often.I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to try a period cup for the first time, or to change from the one they're currently using.The Lena team are also really, really helpful with any personal queries you may have.I also have the coil fitted and have had no problems with the period cups in regards to that either. I had the coil for over 6 months before trying a period cup.Hope this is useful for someone :)

Love this cup. I am 25 and have had two kids, so I bought this cup because I heard it was pretty firm and easy to pop open - which is absolutely true. So easy to put in, pops open with absolute ease and comfort and sits really nicely inside. The length is good, I didn’t have to trim the stem. Love the colour and the material is very smooth, the bag it comes with is also really nice. I would deffo recommend this cup to a beginner or someone who has had children like myself. The only thing I could find as a down side is the amount of liquid it holds - the first 2 days of my period I was having to empty it more often, but to be honest I would have been changing a tampon the same amount of times. The rest of my period I only needed to empty it twice a day. Overall it’s a fabulous cup, I would totally recommend and I’m very happy with my purchase!

Really love this cup. I have a low cervix and it sits inside all my cups as it is dangly, with this cup it is the nice tulip shape so there is the extra lip to keep it in place. I have had no leaks even on my heaviest days, I do have to change it more often than I would like on my heavy days, but on a light day I can leave it all day and not even notice it is there.It is firm enough to get a good comfortable position inside and stay there, plus it’s harder to spill it when you take it out because it is firm. Not too firm that it pushed the bladder etc.The silicone is much better than TPE cups I have previously used. The air holes are slanted and easy to clean, one rinse gets them clean.The packaging is nice and the bag is good quality compared to others I have had.Overall I would recommend this cup to anyone. I have used meluna shorty and the TPE wore out quick and became more oval than round and started to leak, it was good at first. I have also used a moon cup uk, which pushed against my bladder sometimes and was too large. Finally, I have used a femmycycle for low cervix, which I am pretty sure caused damage and elongation to my cervix due to the extreme suction.But this Lena cup is comfortable and quality compared to all of these.
