It was part of the biology GCSE and comprehensively covered at the one I went to.

How effective are they? Can't they leak/overflow?


They can overflow and leak, if you're incredibly heavy you might not be able to leave it in for the full 12 hours, it totally depends on the person.

Did you get your cup to work properly straight away?
I bought one a while ago but could never get it to stop leaking


Nope, took me 3 cycles to get it right and even know it can leak if I put it in wrong. Practice makes perfect!

Nothing, but I prefer cups because, like a tampon, you dont feel the blood coming out of you. Also pads feel like you're wearing a nappy.

when you say messy... how messy ?

Like would you only be able to remove it at home, or can it be done in a public bathroom like you can do with a tampon/pad ?

You're pretty sassy for someone with a terribly rudimentary knowledge of their own body.

You would be able to do it in a public bathroom so long as you were careful and had either a bottle of water on you or the specially made "cup wipes". But once you got home I would recommend washing it throughly.

Messiness depends on how full the cup is and how careful you are.

No problem :smile:
I feel out of place in this thread but I am trying to work out why an individual would choose to put a reusable, silicone cup up their vagina when disposable, easy-to-use, less messy tampons are available.

Because tampons dry out the vagina walls and that can be uncomfortable to use, also the fact that in long run you save money.

You can touch the pussy without having blood on your hands or mouth. Seems a very good reason to me. We should promote menstrual cups. :u:
