This is my first time buying and trying a menstrual cup and also my first cycle using it. Decided on the Lunette because it is firmer for an active lifestyle & had good reviews for beginners. I’ve only had one day of leakage this cycle because I didnt place/open properly/lost suction but otherwise it has been great. Heres some tips I’ve learned: 1) Practice using it before you need it and get comfortable with your body. Seriously. Youll have to be ALL up in there. 2) Find the fold that opens best in your body. I prefer the punch down fold, because when I used the C or heart fold I leaked because the cup wouldnt open. Everybody is different. 3) If you have to pee or poop badly, removal may be hard, or your cup may hard to reach. Sometimes I could barely find the stem. Try using the bathroom first & relaxing the muscles. The bearing down can help move the cup lower. Squatting & bearing down also helps push the cup lower to reach. 4) Sometimes I use 2 hands if its hard to remove, one to hold the stem and the other to pinch the cup & remove. 5) If you are having a hard time rotating the cup to open, try rotating it lower in the vaginal canal after inserting & then allowing to slide into place & gain suction. Makes it easier to grasp. 6) Some residual blood on the outside of the cup after removal or on the TP after using the bathroom is normal. Just monitor to make sure its still in its place. 7) If you dont like the bag that says “Periods are cool”, turn it inside out like I did!!! Still looks nice & is discreet. 8) Dont give up from one bad day. It takes practice. Hydrogen peroxide removes blood fyi & saves panties/clothes. Go online and watch some videos about using menstrual cups, there are tons and some from lunette too. It definitely feels good being more self-sustainable & enviornmentally sustainable, especially in these uncertain times😊 I would recommend trying it. Read more

ABOUT ME: 21-year-old, virgin, never used a tampon let alone a menstrual cup. I heard of menstrual cups on Facebook (The Diva Cup) and had done a ton of research on cups and found Lunette instead of Diva. The Lunette definitely has better reviews than the Diva as the Lune Group Company has a quiz you can take to ensure you get the proper sized cup for YOUR body. Not all cups are the same! PACKAGING/PRICE: When my cup arrived, it was in its nice little box, just like advertised. The cup is 110% worth the $40. INSERTION: (Boiled my cup previous to use) it's is a little tricky, but I soon caught onto it and putting it in/taking it out became a breeze, don't be scared to get to know yourself down there (just make sure your hands are clean)! Find where your cervix is to ensure you are placing the cup properly to avoid leaks. I do want to mention that when you are inserting the cup, to make sure it's wet around the edges (I just use warm water) it will make getting the cup in much easier. FOLDS: I like to use what's called the "punch fold" as I find it easiest for me when inserting the cup but there are other folds that you can easily look up online if you find that the punch fold doesn't work for you. USING: I didn't even feel the cup when I was using it. I basically forgot I was on my period. I am able to workout, wear what I want, and do what I want without having to worry about leaks or changing my pad. You can safely wear the cup up to 12 hours, which I loved. Even on my heaviest flow day, I didn't have any leaks and was able to go out with friends without having to worry about my period. I also wore it overnight, no leaks! REMOVAL/CLEANING: When it is time to empty your cup, it's super easy and not as "gross" as some girls may think. Always, always, always wash your hands before removing your cup! I found it easiest to sit down on the toilet when removing it, I just reach my index finger and thumb slightly in, pinch the grippy handle and pull SLOWLY, it's not a race! You may hear a slight "pop" when the cup releases the suction, that's when you pinch the cup from the bottom and pull it out. Cleaning is easy as well: I always rinsed mine with cold water until it was clean, then warm water to sanitize it. Then you are good to pop it back in! After your period is over, just boil it and put it in its storage bag until next time! Always boil your cup before and after every period :) OVERALL: I encourage you to try a menstrual cup, it WILL make your life easier during your period!! I am happy that I finally did, my period is easier to handle and not so dreadful thanks to this little pink cup. Read more

I really like it and the size is great, I removed one star from behind the packaging, the box came all crumpled and torn I took a photo of the box but couldn't find it in the gallery( Read more

I wanted to buy the lunette cup because I wanted life on my period to be easier, for example I hate being at the beach and having to walk back to my hotel when I am on my period on vacation. I hate having to change tampons, and I often forget to bring them with me anyway. I liked that you can wear it for a long time and not worry about taking it out. There were a few things that happened during my first period that left me crying in the bathroom thinking of anyone to call to dig this thing out of my snatch. And no, I am not shy when it comes to digging down there. I use nuva ring bc, so I did not think taking it out would be hard at all. But boy let me tell you that suction inside of you makes it so hard to pull out and I need to share these tips because it went from me thinking I will never wear this again to its great and you just need to learn what to do in tough situations. tip 1: do not cut that little nipple string thing when you first try it if it feels too long. I made this mistake, I put it in once and could feel the tip thing and so I took it out and cut it to the next notch (it has little grip things I cut to the next one). Then after wearing it for a little bit I did not thing about it migrating upwards, and needing that part to be longer. Now, I cut my nails and my finger tips were raw from playing guitar so when I went to dig it out, I pulled and pulled and my fingers just kept slipping and I could not even grip with my nails. My fingers were burning from trying to take it out for 15 minutes, when I had a grip on it and pulled the suction was so intense I just couldn't. And they say you should pinch the cup to release the pressure, it is too high up for me to grab it with my fingers, and the one time I was able to do it, it did not even work. But there was a solution to this... tip 2: THEY ARENT LYING ABOUT THE KEGELS! After crying in the bathroom for 15 minutes, I decided to read the reviews again and forgot about people who said kegels. It came out so easily. It pushed it out enough for the cup part to actually be exposed and I could grab that rather than the string part. It came out in the first try. Do the damn kegels if you are unable to get it out. I will now do kegels every single time. tip 3: At first, the cup "inflated" as soon as I put it in. I started having the problem of it staying folded when I put it in. They say to feel the base of the cup with your finger, and it is obvious when it is not inflated. I kept taking it in and out and having the same problem. I found the only solution is to pull it halfway out and kind of wiggle it to let air get up there and I felt it pop right open and I just pushed it back up and I was fine. Weird because I did not have this issue at first at all. The first few times felt easy but I ran into these problems that made me so upset so I had to share solutions. After solving my problems, I love it. Never buying tampons again, not worrying about changing it all throughout the day, I never worry about bleeding through because you just dont. And when you see the amount of blood that comes out condensed in a cup, you realize it really is not that much. Another bonus is that its eco friendly, but that does not compared to how much healthier it is and I love that. I got the smaller one because I am 18 and I knew the big one would be difficult and I just do not need a big one. It was actually smaller than I imagined, and when you put it in if you squeeze it then fold it (there are many different folds I prefer the first one it tells you) it is nearly the size of a tampon. Just imagine putting in a rubber tampon with no applicator. And no, I do not feel it at all!! There were times where it felt like it was giving me awful cramps, I am not sure if it was the cup or my period. I do not usually get cramps so I want to blame the cup, but my period was much heavier than it had been in months so I do not want to blame it. Throughout the day its as comfortable as a tampon. I expected taking it out to be messy but not at all it stays perfectly in the cup and I just pour it out. and after 10 hours of heavy bleeding, the cup was not even half full so I know I never have to worry about it leaking. I wash mine with summers eve pH balanced wash, and sometimes I just wash it with antibacterial handsoap if that is not around. I figured if I am rinsing it with water so hot that it hurts my hand I am sure it all goes away. So just remember the tips. Never forget the kegels, and you will love it. I thought "oh how could I change this in public bathrooms" then when I got it I realized, no need to change it! I can wait till I get home. I change it once in the morning and once a few hours before bed then one more time before bed (just because I prefer cleaning it when I shower but I really would not have to). So good luck, and do not be afraid to be digging in your snatch. It is yours and if you want this to work well you gotta grow some balls. Enjoy never buying tampons again! *TMI********and yes, it is uncomfortable pooping with this in. I had to say that. I take it out in that event. Read more

Dopo tanta tanta ricerca mi sono decisa sulla Lunette taglia 1. Dopo due cicli posso dire che è perfetta. Non è nè troppo rigida al punto da essere scomoda e neppure troppo molle al punto da essere difficile da inserire. Niente incidenti, niente rifiuti, niente corse di emergenza al supermercato. Soddisfazione 100%. Read more

Super cómoda! Se ajusta perfectamente y es muy fácil de introducir. He visto algún comentario (como el de Rosa Maria) que les llega lunacopine en vez de lunette. He investigado y es la misma marca original, solo que en Francia se comercializa con el nombre de lunacopine. Read more

I have to start by admitting that I was always one of those people who thought the idea of a menstrual cup was a little gross but after seeing a couple of videos on YouTube with people saying how much better they felt for it (less cramps and side effects!), I decided it was worth a go at least. I'm trying to reduce the amount of plastic I use little by little and when you read how many disposable sanitary products one woman uses in her life, this is a real way to make a big difference. Having used this for one cycle, I'm already so glad I gave it a try! I now see exactly why everyone was talking about how much more comfortable, easy and cleaner it felt to us the cup over disposable products and I don't think I will ever go back! The things I personally like are: - The comfort - honestly I can't even feel it most of the time! Unlike a tampon which is solid and static, the silicone of the cup moves with your body so that you would hardly know it was there. - The cleanliness - this was something that I never expected from using a cup - I feel cleaner than I ever have during a period and almost forgot I was having it at times! - The ease of use - another surprise - it took me around a day or two to get used to using the cup but now I have, it's really easy to use and very quick to empty and replace! - The peace of mind - cups can be worn for up to 12 hours and as they aren't absorbing like a tampon, the risk of TSS is extremely low. No more worrying if you sleep for over 8 hours! A few tips that I have learnt along the way are below, I won't go into detail but if you are easily grossed out by these things, be warned! - Before you buy a cup, find out which one will be best for you. I love the Lunette, it isn't too large and it is soft silicone, it also comes with a nice pouch to keep it out of the way when not in use but there are a lot on the market and everyone is different. Look up the "Put a cup in it" quiz online - if you answer a few questions, they will recommend the best one for you. (Having said that, all of my friends who have done the quiz since I told them how good this is all ended up with Lunette as well!) - Have a good read of the instructions when the cup arrives. There are also some great videos on the Lunette YouTube page with some tips as well as some really useful honest advice from other vloggers on there about cups in general and the Lunette. Watch them before you give it a go and it will help way more than words alone do! In particular, Sarah Tran's page on YouTube was a real help to me with her tips! - In terms of getting the cup in, I find the "C fold" the best for me as it seems easiest to hold but there are other folds, some are bigger, some are smaller. I had a couple of occasions where I couldn't get the cup to "pop" open but found that if I stood up fully and then bent back down, it had sorted itself so perhaps that was something about the angle I was stood at (squatting!) - Once inserted, Lunette recommend feeling around the edge of the cup to ensure it is fully opened. This ensures that you have a proper seal on it. I have checked every time and have had no leaks whatsoever but I definitely wouldn't have noticed the not popping open issue mentioned above if I hadn't done that check and I would have ended up with leaks. - I have had spotting once or twice immediately after emptying. This seems to essentially just be the bits not caught while you are changing but honestly it's such a small amount, I wouldn't worry. - Changing in the shower is a game changer! You can just empty away down the drain and obviously everything is all clean in the shower! - Once you have watched a couple of videos online, you will see a lot of people mentioning cutting the stem of the cup off for comfort if it protrudes. I found that the stem didn't protrude but that it was uncomfortable and caused almost an itchy feeling - I think perhaps it is the ridges which cause the uncomfort. I was concerned about needing the stem to remove the cup so didn't want to cut it all off at once so I did it in stages, cutting first above the first stem ridge but finding it still uncomfortable. In the end I cut to just above the highest stem ridge. That gives a little bit of stem to grab if needed and actually now makes the cup so much more comfortable - to the point that I can't even feel it most of the time!! - Removing the cup was the point I was most concerned about and felt like would be the most "icky". In terms of actual removal, the best tip I can give you that I found online and which works brilliantly (apologies if TMI!) is to squat down and to push as if you are going for a number 2! The muscles will then do a lot of the work for you and bring the cup lower so that you can easily grab the bottom of it. Remember that there is a seal on it and not to just pull it out as that will be very uncomfortable! Bring it out by pinching the base and moving it back and forth, the seal will break and come out. As for the "icky" factor - bizarrely it feels cleaner than a pad or tampon to me! You are only ever touching the outer cup where there is no blood and you pour it away and wash immediately! I've never had the cup more than even a third full when I've emptied it so it's not like it's full to the brim! - The amount you empty the cup will depend on your body and how often you need it. I find that I can empty in the morning, then again when I get home from work (avoiding the awkward changing in work toilets!) and then again just before bed. You can wear for up to 12 hours as long as the cup isn't too full but if you do need to change at work or in public, disabled or baby changing toilets are great for having a sink in them (obviously if there are disabled people or a parent and child waiting for those facilities, I'm not recommending going ahead of them!) - Finally on cleaning - there are cleaning products available through Lunette and other brands. Having done some research these are not an essential product, just an extra if you want them. It is perfectly fine to simply boil the cup between cycles and to rinse in hot water when emptying. That said, I have seen that the Lunette wipes can be used in place of boiling the cup between cycles and so I will likely buy a pack of those for when I am on holiday and boiling isn't an option.
