Bought the Lena cup specifically as it was advertised as sensitive and its my first time using a cup again since having a baby and I must say that it is exactly as advertised. It’s incredibly comfortable and easy to place and no leaks at all. Highly recommend!

This is a comfortable, easy to use cup, but didn’t work for me because it didn’t fit quite right, so leaked a little. This isn’t a criticism; as something or a menstral cup veteran, finding the right fit is a bit of a trial and error thing. I bought the larger size as I have had two children, but I wonder whether my regular kegels and pelvic floor exercises made this cup just a bit too big to be effective.

I must admit that when my friend told me about these cups I was very sceptical at first. I haven’t had any kids and I was usually a pad and tampon user so when my friend described the cups to me it sounded painful, odd and gross so I didn’t buy into it at first. That is until I read similar reviews online about it saying that this was the best purchase that they had ever done. They also have other massive benefits compared to what I was using at the time such as; they are much better for the environment and your body and they save you a chunk of money as you can keep them for 10 years and don’t have to keep on buying new ones after a few months. So after reading everything I had a change in heart and thought I would give it a go and WOW! Thank god I did.
Yes the first try was very odd and at some point difficult/uncomfortable because it’s a new experience and you are trying to adapt to it. You do have to find ‘the right fold’ for you – the box does come with it’s own leaflet of diagrams but I actually found mine by having a look at some different ones on YouTube tutorial videos and trying them all out until one suited me. Yes sometimes leakage would happen which is to be expected – I made the smart decision to wear a pad until I did feel comfortable with how it was doing and I got it right, which I definitely I would advise first time users to do but once I got the hang of it I was very impressed with how it was doing and now no leakages happen- I have no worries with using it whilst going to the gym and doing all of my regular workouts and swimming. It is easy to clean and doesn’t smell like certain tampons and pads do after a few hours and it comes in it’s own little bag so you don’t have to stuff loads of tampons or pads into your bag – especially on if you are going on holiday or whilst you’re at work.
However, it was removing part that concerned me deeply after hearing certain horror stories and reviews online – my advice, don’t listen to them because that’s them and not your body and it’s all about practice. Yes at first scrambling around can feel uncomfortable and removing it feels horrible and at one point I thought ‘that’s it I’m going to A and E with the most embarrassing thing stuck’ but I just took the advice of others online by relaxing, not forcing it and doing it my own way. Removing it still now and then can still feel like a struggle but it’s bound to as it takes time getting used to it and I’m ok with knowing that as i just think of the benefits it has done for me.
I have now turned into that friend who is recommending it to friends and family but I am glad that I changed my mind and made the switch as it’s made life so much easier!!!!

I ordered a L based on looking into the cup & customer service agreement. I’m a first time user but have watched many YouTube videos and googling etc.
This cup seems to sit on my bladder, making urinating very slow.
It doesn’t always pop & requires a lot of fiddling (pressing the walls to try make extra room for it to expand).
I’ve tried the different fold methods, inserting lower and higher (it couldn’t go any lower without it showing!). Emptying several times a day to try and get used to it or to correct leaking (cup not full)
Customer service went over a few techniques to try, which I have done.
I’d like to try the Small cup as I’ve read these issues could be due to incorrect size & I’d also like to try it on lighter days, but seems that they actually want L returned to them although it’s been used!! Apparently it will be destroyed but that is completely gross and something I’m definitely not comfortable with!
I went with this brand for their 100% satisfaction guarantee – but I’m not satisfied at all.
Edit:::
They have now offered a full refund so I can purchase the size S without returning the L.
The S has been great, it doesn’t press on my bladder & actually unfolds so much easier

Those who sell cups won’t tell you these products are not good for everyone. I tried this because of the hype about its convenience and sustainability. I’ve been a pad & tampon user so I thought the transition to cup wouldn’t be that difficult. I was wrong. Even if I bought this sensitive small version, I still experienced discomfort. I tried several times during the day, and I can say that I got the hang of putting it in. The problem is that it still pressed against my bladder, making it difficult for me to pee 🙁 I had to push really hard to pee, which at the same time pushed the cup out as well…
The worst thing is that this product may cause vasovagal reactions. This is what happened to me when I tried to wear it longer despite the discomfort — I began to feel nauseous after around 15 minutes, so I rushed to the toilet to take it out. And then I fainted, literally. I suddenly lost my vision, feeling extreme nausea, my heart beating so fast and I could hear buzzing sound in my head. Later I learned that this is a vasovagal reaction some people may have after messing with the cervix. Unfortunately I turned out to be one of these people. I hadn’t realised that this cup was deep enough as to disturb my cervix since there was still quite a length of its stem remaining outside of my body. My conclusion is that menstrual cup is not a match for my anatomy. I was very disappointed because these brands just promote their products without informing their customers of these dangers. Fainting from a vasovagal reaction could be very dangerous as you may get hurt when your body suddenly loses control.
Also, these cups lead to more additional purchases such as the tools you use to sanitise them (I definitely don’t want to boil it in my cooking pot). And this softer version won’t last as long as the harder ones —it’s said that the elasticity wears off after a year or two. So I really doubt the claim that cups are more eco-friendly.
