The Best and Worst Cups I Tried in 2022

I had the hardest time with my flex cup and after watching this video I bought the hello disc (now available in black!) and I am so overjoyed at how easy it was to insert, remove, and it is so comfortable and did not leak! Thank you so much! I am so excited to have a reusable period product solution that is easy and works! ❤❤️❤️

I should have watched this before wasting money. I thought the diva mini disc was going to change my life. Only added crisis points. Major leaks out of no where. So! Don't buy that one ladies - this review is true, the exact things you think will work are the things that make it fail you. I don't actually think this one would work for anyone. I will definitely never consider the ones voted even worse than this one.

How is the hello disc for exercise I do jujitsu just started and not sure which one is best and I have heavy flow first 24-48 then go to about 15 ml every 4 -6 hours so could probably go longer. But my cup block my urine off . Any suggestions ?

Luneale/La cup is amazing! No other cup or disc has worked for me. The luenale cup is super soft, has no annoying stem and no leaks. All other period products have caused cramps for me or leaked. Totally recommend trying it!

I'm trying to switch away from tampons and came across your video. Thank you so much!

I've only used the LENA cup and been great, definitely leaks sometimes, n I lost the large one when I moved so I'm exploring things before buying the same thing.

I tried FLEX disposable disks years ago when they cane out, and did NOT like. Idk if there's some crazy curve or trick to how to insert thkse right, but I didn't even use the rest of them and removal was definitely not so easy

Sorry i have questions regarding the use of a menstrual disc and idk who to ask so if you, or any other watcher of this channel, can answer me, it would help me so much.
I watched all your videos as I was looking for a cheaper and environmentally friendly alternative to tampons, so i decided to buy a menstrual disc.
I took your website’s test when choosing the disc and used your tutorials when inserting it, but i have only one issue, and i don’t see anybody talking ab it so idk what to do

So I bought the lumma disc size S, & i inserted it correctly, because i checked and i tucked it properly behind the pubic bone, my cervix is inside it (i checked), i touched all the borders and its in place, the problem is the round part/“cup” part thats underneath the rim/border, it doesn’t open properly in the round shape, its like folded in itself a bit. This is my third change during this period, each time i tried with my finger to get it to open more, but it’s like when i create the eight shape during insertion, the cup part folds itself towards the inside following the eight shape i fold it in, and when i have put it in, it doesn’t expand/unfolds itself properly because the walls of the vagina from underneath kinda keep that space not “deep” enough and push it in itself. The only part that unfolds & permits the blood to be contained, is the part that has the vaginal canal below so there is no vaginal wall stopping it.
I thought, as the blood would pour in, the weight of the blood would help the disc take the same shape it has when its outside the vagina, and therefore permit the full capacity of it, but it didn’t and instead the blood started getting out when the capacity of the “punched-in” (sorry idk in what way to describe it) shape was finished. I think it didnt even reach 1/3 of the capacity it’s supposed to have.
Even from watching the video tutorials, it seems as if the vagina walls would shape themselves around the form of the disc, instead in my case it seems as if the walls and the insertion process are shaping the disc.
So… anybody has any tips? Did i make a mistake in inserting it? Do i have the wrong size/disc and maybe another size, brand or type of disc would have fit me better?

Also to give further context. I am a virgin, 21 years old, first time menstrual disc user and never used a menstrual cup, usually i use tampons, medium height cervix and i don’t have a tilted cervix. My flow is considered medium or light.
The diameter/circumference of the lumma disc S seems to fit me as I comfortably tucked it behind the pubic bone and behind the cervix, the rim itself adhered well to the vagina walls, after each use i had to untuck the disc from behind the pubic bone so i dont think the issue was it slipped in my vaginal canal.
Also i have been working in a standing position during the use, so it cannot be possible that the spill was caused by auto-dumping happening.
It is also not a small spill, i had the disc in for 10 hours (the capacity is supposed to be 12 hours) & i had put a pad for safety reasons and the pad ended up full, so that’s a lot of blood that wasn’t contained. The disc wasnt even 1/5 full due to the folds.
And my flow is not heavy, I usually change a tampon/pad every 8-10 hours during my heaviest day.

I’m so confused if this is normal, and for discs, capacity-wise, i have to take into consideration the anatomy and depth of the upper part of the vagina where the disc sits…. or if instead the disc is supposed to unfold into its proper form…. somebody help plsss idk anybody irl who uses a disc so i cannot ask anybody around me! & sorry for the massive TMIs and detailed descriptions

Why are you not fond of the brand Flex?

781st like. Thank you so much.

What is auto dumping?

Where can i buy hello disc???
Do they ship internationally??

Hi! I’m not sure but what happens if the cup is too wide 😅I know the vagina has the capacity to expand lots but 😢I feel is too wide and the suction gives me pain in one of the ovaries like I catch air from the suction 😢 I don’t know what to do I know I have high cervix and my cup is A because I had c section but I found those two issues and whenever I squat I feel the cup moving up and down with pressure/tightly 😢 like pulling out forcibly 😅

This is interesting. I just found you because I’m trying a cup for the first time, and I searched trying to figure out why my La Cup doesn’t seem to open, no matter what I try.

for some reason I can’t get the flex disc to sit up high enough past my pubic bone which causes it to leak but I have no issues with the saalt one

I really want to love hello disc but it couldn't work out for me. The loop was sooo painful especially when the disc spinned a little bit inside my body. I trimmed 1 ring which did get better but when it scratched in certain angle it hurt really bad

What would be best for the young ladies just starting the menstrual journey? I know she'll have to do the work, but curious as to your thoughts? Thank you for this info!

I bought the flex disc several months ago, and I really like it. The only thing I don't like is how messy it is. It would be nice is it had a notch. I tried cups first, but I kept dropping them in the toilet, and I had a lot of other problems with then as well. But after switching to disc's, I haven't had any problems. I used to have leaking from time to time, but after watching your videos, I learned to push it behind the pelvic bone, and it hasn't leaked since.

I have never used a reusable period product but am in the market - does the hello disk rotate and would that be bad compared to something like the flex cup which has no notches?

Would the removal loop on the hello disc not get in the way during sex?

Is there a cup which has non matte silicon outside? I know cups have glossy silicon inside, but why not outside; seems to stain less.

Difficulty to clean should definitely be in the ranking! If something is hard to clean you are less likely to use it.

Not hangry but vangry hahaha

The opening of my cervix is so low now that it sits in my cups. I don’t know if a disc would work ☹️

I love the La cup, but yes the holes are hard to clean.

any reviews from high cervix person? From what I can get you have pretty low cervix so I imagine disc will be easy to remove

You know how pooping is easier when you remove a cup, is it the same for a disk? I've never tried one and I'm curious if they disks get pushed down like cups do when you're going to the bathroom. So basically, should you remove a disk before a bowl movement too?

I was using disc's almost 10 years ago when only disposables were available. I switched to cups about 7 years ago and love it. This new disc wave has me very intrigued. Is it worth trying the disc's when you're a happy cup user? Anyone with similar experience have tried these new disc's? Which is better in your opinion?

Ok my issue with discs is that they are so comfortable that I have forgotten about it not once but twice! Help. Is there any disc you can actually feel a bit just in hopes of not forgetting about it?

Thanks for the video... the first and only cup I've ever used was the Kind cup, and I had the same experiences. It slipped out of me pretty quickly, and that was a very uncomfortable experience. I assumed the same issue would be present in any other cup, so I haven't tried to look into other alternatives, but your video says otherwise. Thank you for all of this good information!!

Hey!! New here, and let me start off by saying... WHY COULDN'T THIS CHANNEL BE AROUND WHEN I WAS YOUNGER?!?!? Next, not sure if you have covered this topic or not(very new here), how do you feel about period panties? No matter which way I think about the idea it just scares me... thoughts 🤔

I'm so glad I found your channel! Wasn't looking for it lol but this is something I have really interested in trying for many reasons

Just found your channel. I have a tilted cervix. Inserting tampons was always difficult and uncomfortable until a friend told me her Secret. Standing up and bending over until my head is almost between my legs LOL is the most comfortable way to insert. I'd love to start using cups, but I wonder if I should use a specific one because of this?

I have only ever used the diva cup. I really enjoy it though.
Edited to ask,: what is "slipping"? My cup gets rather low and sits partially outside (ish) of my vagina lol iìiìiiiiiiiiiiidk dudes.

Can you do a financial break down as to why the hello disc is as expensive as it is?

You can have mess free period sex with a disc?!

I didn't even know cups and disc existed 😶‍🌫️🤯 I'm totally new to this, but I'm interested to test out the cup. I have no idea about sizes, but according to instructions, I should go for large 🤔 I'm 38y, I gave vaginal birth 18y ago 😁, soooo... I think my cup should be large 🤔 now my question, I have a IUD inside my uterus, can the cups mess around with the device???! 🤔 thats the only thing holding me back from buying a cup

Wanted to love the Hello disc but not for everyone. Hard to insert, popped out of place and only work on my very low days.

If only hello and flex had a baby and had a disc that makes it not only easy to remove but also easy to insert and made it even better by going a couple shader darker?

"Whatever hangry is but because your vagina has been rubbed raw." 🤣 I just bought the Saalt disc (my first disc) and am struggling with insertion. Thank you for being so straightforward with your description and demos. Very helpful!

I cannot for the life of me get my cup out, my girlfriend had to get it out for me. It goes too far in and I can´t reach with my fingers, even pushing. What do I even do? There are no cup options where I´m from, only the one I got.

I absolutely adore my hello disc!!

Can you feel the Hello Disc loops inside if you don’t tuck them under? They seem pretty wide

When are the new cups coming? Is the old color going on sale upon release of new cup?

I tried the salt disc and it got stuck, but the Diva disc is sooo amazing!

I got the saltt a few months ago and having a disc has changed my life…buttttt I’m going to get the hello. It is the most difficult to take out. I think I have a high pubic bone, but the notch does nothing. It’s comfortable, but messy like you said. I have to move my hand awkwardly to get my finger over the rim to pull it out. I think your rank for it was just. I’m so glad you exist because you have taught me so much

I wish the hello disk didn’t leak! 😢my second day is the heaviest. Im still not a pro at auto dumping. Sometimes i get a good full dump other days i don’t. That is my favorite feature and it is comfortable and easy to insert. I do feel theres a ton of suction at removal. Out of the diva and cora, experience i like cora but love self dump on the disk now.

I’ve used Flex disc disposable, Lumma (M & S) discs, Cora regular, and Diva disc.

Flex is just a tad too large for me. Leaks and doesn’t stay tucked.

Lumma medium worked ok, but I’m not a huge fan of autodumping. Lumma small was too small and nearly suctioned itself onto my cervix. That was a very difficult removal 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

Cora doesn’t work for me at all. Leaks and gives me bladder pressure. I soooo wanted to like it cuz the material is so soft and nice. But tried it during 3 cycles and just can’t get it to work. It’s my least favorite of all the discs I’ve had

Diva is my winner. The oval shape actually fits me really well. The autodump prevention is nice. Removal is a breeze. And it only leaks when it gets full. I loved it so much, I ordered a second one during their Black Friday sale! I like to have 2 discs so that I always have a clean one ready to go.

I would have tried Hello, but given it’s the same size as the flex, I knew it would likely be too big. Would love to see a medium size like 65mm in diameter. Though I don’t think I’ll need to demo any more discs (unless you want to send me a free product for an honest review. Lol).

I used cups off and on for years, but they give me bladder pressure, so I didn’t always feel like dealing with that. But after giving birth in 2021, tampons have become horribly painful to use. So I decided to experiment with discs. So happy to see there were so many options in discs now (there weren’t when I was trying cups 6 years ago).

Your videos were so so helpful for me in picking what discs I did end up trying. Really appreciate your honest reviews. I recommend your channel and website often 💖

I have only used the flex and sometimes it's hard to get out if my nail is too short🤦🏽‍♀️ so excited to try the Hello. Thank you for all your reviews very helpful. I still can only remove in the shower ... help 😔😫😁

Hey , can you make a video from cups available in india , they don't have much options and it's real confusin, + many brands ( like safe cup have very weird way of sizes) i am 16 and i have a high cervix, i have been using the plup teen cup but with my heavy flow it gets filled in 3 hrs and i wanted to switch to something i didn't had to change that quick and safe Cup's smallest size s is for people below 30 it's a 28 ml cup and on their amazon question box they replied that people my age can wear it.
