Review: In a Few Words - Life Changing for Endo - Mega Flow Cycle! - In a Few Words - Life Changing for Endo - Mega Flow Cycle! This is an amazing cup (my first time using menstrual cups). I bought the dual set of Large and Small. I used only the large cup so far. I absolutely love it and love the customer service that the company gives. First of all, the company is so attentive, kind and very professional. The customer service alone wins you over. They are really interested in their customers. They gave excellent follow up to my questions as well as they stand behind their product. In this day and age of unscrupulous companies and tactics, you can't get any better than that with customer satisfaction. Second, the cup is the exact firmness that I needed since I have never had children, I have very strong pelvic floor muscles, I'm in my late 40's and of the two sizes the large was best for me since I have not a heavy but mega flow (I have Endometriosis which can cause heavy bleeding). Incidentally, even though I have the Mega flow, the cup seems to have shorten my cycle this month. It didn’t control the flow, but I went from 7 days to a 5 day cycle. Anyway, the learning curve for me was only about three insertions. The first time, I left the stem on and the cup was uncomfortable. The second time, I cut half the stem off and the cup was still uncomfortable for me. By the third time I inserted the cup and completely cut off the stem (Tip - make sure not to cut the stem too low so that you don't cut into the actual cup) it was perfection! As long as I was sure to insert the cup and push it up as far as it would go for me, I was comfortable. My cup sits low in the vagina; however, if I left it too low I could feel the grip rings. So, I always pushed the cup up farther until I could not really feel the grip rings, and it was mind blowing ease and comfort when it was placed right. I used the punch down fold and it worked every time with that particular fold. I once tried the 7 fold, and it simply didn't work for me. Since I have a mega flow, the first 2 days I had to change my cup every 2hrs 40 minutes (yes, I was in the house on those days, so I did time it exactly). I probably could have gotten 20 more minutes of time from the cup since it was only filled below the air holes. So, I will say, moving forward I need to change every 3 hours on my 2 heaviest days. This was better for me since normally I would use 2 overnight pads at the same time and change them every 1.5 hrs on my first 2 days. How many leaks did I have? I had NONE when I used the punch down fold. How is that possible with the Mega flow? It's because the cup is so well made and the firmness makes the cup pop open every single time. The only time I did have a leak is when I tried the 7 fold. It is not the fold for me; it made insertion difficult and I could feel the cup not opening completely. Also, I don’t believe that my cup created the seal, at least not most of the time. I say this because removal was a breeze. It was just as easy for me to remove as to insert. With that being said, for me whether the cup sealed or not, the cup worked for me every time without leaks (Also being a first time menstrual cup user, I paired it with a pad/panty liner). After my first day using the cup, I decided to try water based KY jelly for insertion and it worked even better. I actually got so comfortable using this cup that I was able to change it in a public restroom on my 3 day without one problem. I had everything with me, small water bottle, wet paper towel and non-latex gloves (Incidentally, I always use gloves when inserting and removing to prevent blood on my hands and to minimize chances of any kind of infection or bacteria on my bare hand even though I wash them first). If there was one thing I would like is, I wish I could get 4 hours out of the cup, because I have an event I attend weekly and need that time to be worry free until I get home. So, I guess if LENA had the Mega Flow cup (maybe 40 ml of capacity) it would make my cycle almost forgettable. All in all, the LENA cup is one of the best things I’ve ever done for my period.
Review: Great experience--first time cup user! - After A LOT of research and mulling over the idea of switching to a menstrual cup, I took the plunge and this was my first time using the menstrual cup. It has been great experience overall. I got this two pack, because it was a good deal, and while I felt like the smaller one would probably fit fine, I also get very heavy periods sometimes, so wasn't sure if I should get the larger, so I got both! When the Lena box arrived, it was dirty and had obvious marks that looked like it was slid on the floor of the desertcart warehouse (probably some very immature warehouse employee), but I was not discouraged. I emptied out the contents of the box, threw the box in the recycling bin, then washed my hands and was very excited to learn about this new mini adventure in my period care. The cups came with the cutest little cloth bags to store them and very detailed instructions for use and care. I started on the small and used it throughout my last cycle, without switching to the large. Apparently I have "strong pelvic floor muscles", like the website says, because I am over 30, but the small is a very snug fit. That said, it is completely comfortable to wear and even if the tip of the stem sticks out a little bit, I don't notice it at all and most of the time, I don't feel like I'm wearing anything. Most days I only changed it/washed it out every 12 hours, and had no leakage. On one of my heaviest days I did need to empty it/wash it mid day, and a couple times I did spot/leak a bit, but it was no prob as I was wearing my trusty Lunapad (can't recommend those enough!). The downsides: (1) if you have long nails, you have to be careful not to poke yourself during removal; (2) it can feel super awkward during insertion/removal so you have to get used to that and comfortable with the process; (3) you have to get used to washing out the contents [as someone who hates the sight of blood, I actually got used to it very quickly, no big deal]. I have used tampons for over 15 years and I have to say that I am not going back to tampons. Overall, this was so much more convenient and just felt cleaner than tampons. Change/wash it in the morning at home, then again in the shower at night. No more needing to make sure I have tampons with me all day, multiple extra trips to the bathroom, having the annoying tampon string, etc. The "downsides" are so worth the upsides. Tips: (1) I have read that some women have issues with menstrual cups becoming discolored or not looking fully clean. I have only washed mine in warm/hot water, and it cleans completely. (2) If you are a woman who does kegels and has not had children [like me] I would guess you will likely fit with the smaller size better. (3) If you have very long nails and the cup is a snug fit, it might be hard to remove, and I might suggest finding a menstrual cup with a ring stem. But it is so worth finding one that works for you!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is a menstrual cup and how does it work?**
A: A menstrual cup is a reusable alternative to disposable products that sits inside your body to collect flow during your cycle. The cup creates a seal to prevent leakage and unlike absorbent products, it can be worn for up to 12 hours.

**Q: Do I need a Small or Large Lena Cup?**
A: The Small cup is ideal for regular flow and for first-time users. The Large cup is designed for super heavy flow and greater capacity. Many users switch between sizes during their cycle. If unsure, start with Small.

**Q: What's the difference between Lena Original and Sensitive?**
A: The Original cup offers reliable firmness for easy insertion, making it perfect for active users. The Sensitive cup features softer, more flexible silicone for those with sensitive bladder & anatomy. Many users use both, based on comfort needs.

**Q: Is a menstrual cup safe for teenagers and beginners?**
A: Yes. Menstrual cups are safe for teenagers and first-time users. While there's a learning curve, most people master insertion and removal within a few cycles with practice. Many teens find cups convenient for school, sports and daily activities.

**Q: Can I use a menstrual cup while swimming, exercising, or playing sports?**
A: Yes. When inserted correctly, a menstrual cup is secure and won't shift during workouts, running, sports, or swimming. Many athletes prefer cups because they're reliable and leak-proof in water. The cup stays in place during physical activity.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Cup!
*by D***6 on April 27, 2016*

Ok so I purchased this cup set earlier this month, but decided to wait till my next period to do a review on it. First off, I ordered the set with both sizes, just because the price was great and I wanted to see which size would be best for me. After watching a few videos on Youtube and doing extensive research, I can tell you that whether or not you've had a child doesn't really determine what size you should wear. It all depends on how your cervix sits, how your vaginal canal is shaped, how tight or loose the muscles are, etc etc. It is best NOT to do a "dry run" with menstrual cups, because how it sits when you're not on your period, may not be how it sits when you're actually on your period. Some women have higher cervices, but when they're menstruating, it may drop a little, or significantly, so it's best to only use it once that time comes. I found that my cup sits rather low, so I ended up completely cutting the stem off. Luckily it has excellent grips on the bottom of the cup, so removing it still shouldn't be an issue. If your cup sits higher in your canal (you will determine this by seeing how high or low it's sitting once the seal is created. Mine happens to seal rather low, but high enough that it's not sticking out or feeling uncomfortable), you may want to keep some or all of the stem. If it sits lower to where the stem protrudes a bit, then you will need to cut and adjust to your needs. I ended up needing to remove mine but first I waited until I was more comfortable with removing and inserting it. For me, the punchdown fold worked best. I attempted the "U" or "C" fold and that one just wasn't happening. There are many other kinds of folds you can try as well, look them up on Youtube. Anyway, so far my experience with the cup has been a great one. There is generally a learning curve, but I seem to have caught on after the second try. In fact, the very first time I inserted it, it sealed perfectly, but I removed it to adjust the stem. The second time I put it back, at first it was sitting strangely because I hadn't put it in far enough. But as I pushed it back just a centimeter further, I could feel the suction it created, and that I had a solid insertion. When it's inserted correctly, you shouldn't be able to feel it at all, it's as if nothing is there. The cool thing is all the natural moisture you have down there is retained, and not drying you out like tampons do. I also loved that once it was time for me to remove, wash and reinsert, there was NO odor from the blood at all! Tampons and pads usually have an odor of some sort; it's actually the pads and tampons that cause the odor, not the blood itself, as it turns out. These cups easily can hold twice or even thrice the amount of liquid than a single super size tampon can absorb (I filled the cup with liquid and then poured it over one of my tampons. It was soaked before I'd even poured half the cup). It's incredible. So far, I've been able to wear it for the full 12 hours, but that's only because this is only the second day of my "out week" with my Nuvaring, so the bleeding is starting out light. As it gets heavier, we will see what happens. Just for reference, I am also a mother of an 11 and a half year old. The small fit me perfectly. I don't really believe that the larger one would fit, but then again, the vagina is capable of fitting all kinds of things in it (and among other things a whole baby human can come out of it if you decide to have a child or children). Since it's been nearly 12 years since I've had a child, that could also have something to do with why the large one can't fit so far. It's had plenty of time to tighten up down there. Other than a couple penises here and there, nothing else has really been in there since lol. I'm still glad I bought both, because it would have been disappointing to only buy the large one and find out it wouldn't fit; and due to the nature of this item, it's not returnable. You save more money by just getting the double pack anyway. Some women are able to use both and utilize the larger one on heavier days, and the smaller one on lighter days so it really varies person to person. Also, this device really requires that you are willing to get very up close and personal with your lady parts. If the sound of that makes you uncomfortable or "squeamish", this might not be for you. You'll also have to see your blood in a cup every time you remove it to empty it. Again, not for the faint of heart. To me, it's not a problem; it's MY vagina and MY blood, so it doesn't bother me, but that isn't the case for all women, so really put some thought into that before deciding to get one and use it. On the flip side, if you DO decide to embark on this life-changing journey, you are going to save SO much money on tampons, pads, pantie liners, and any other disposable sanitary items once you really get it down. It came very natural to me mainly because I did so much research beforehand just to get an idea on what to expect. I also recommend using just a LITTLE bit of water-based lubricant when inserting these cups. A mistake some people make is inserting it as is, which makes it uncomfortable, and then they give up. Definitely fold it into the position of your choice, and then lube it up a little; it makes it so much easier. It will not make the cup slide around or make it too slippery to insert as long as you don't put too much. ( I know the saying is "you can never have too much lube, but in this context, a little goes a longer way; this isn't anal sex we're talking about here). As for pads and tampons, forget it. You couldn't PAY me to use another one. One box would last you several years since again, it's not a tampon or pad that you need to change every couple hours. And just a word to the wise: Even if you find that the LENA specifically isn't for you, shop around and try different cups! This one not working for you doesn't mean a different one with a different shape won't work. Some cups are too soft if your walls are very tight, so it may mean you need a harder cup so that it doesn't collapse while in your vagina, since that will lead to leaks, which would defeat the whole purpose of no longer needing pads. If your muscles are average to higher strength, this cup will probably work for you. If you have much weaker vaginal walls, this cup may not work for you, but again, a different one might. Removal of the cup was very easy. You just push down much in the same way you would if you were having a baby, OR much in the same way that you might if you were pooping (since the urge to "push" during child birth is basically the feeling of needing to take a REALLY massive poo; you are pretty much using the same muscles indirectly), and as you feel it coming down, just use your thumb and index finger to grip the cup, slightly press as you grab in order to break the suction, you'll hear a slight sucky "pop" sound which lets you know the suction released. Be sure to keep the cup upright as you remove it, otherwise you'll have a spill, which you definitely don't want, especially not on your clothes if you are in a public place and won't be home for while. Also, if you have a heavy flow but find that you can only use the smaller one, do not panic; it only means that you will need to empty it a little more often. It can be worn "UP TO" 12 hours, which means if you can only wear it 8 hours, then empty it after 8 hours. 10 hours, same. 6 hours, same. You will need to experiment and see how long you can wear it before needing to empty it, the first few times you use it. You'll also start to learn how much you tend to bleed since the cup is catching the blood rather than absorbing it. The other cool thing about the cup is if you have a blood clot that comes out, the cup will also catch that too. With tampons and pads, it just sits on top, so then it leaks down the side, which is why you sometimes have leaks with tampons shortly after inserting them. With cups, this problem is eliminated since the suction prevents anything leaking from the side, unless you are leaving it in way too long for your particular flow. A channel that I HIGHLY recommend is Precious Stars Pads. She is fantastic and VERY knowledgeable about the many different menstrual cups out there. I don't think she's ever reviewed the LENA specifically, but I saw one that looks VERY similar (pink, bell-shaped) in her collection. But she's VERY knowledgeable about the female anatomy and is so straight-forward and says it like it is. Excellent. I can't recommend her enough. She's also very knowledgeable about the feel and material of different cups, which cups may be a bit brutal for a first time cup user, and which ones are "first timer"-friendly, etc etc. You'll be hooked on her channel. She also reviews reusable pads and pantie liners as well (those can also be an option for you if you find that the cup is not for you, but you still want to take the environmentally friendly route, OR if you want to go back and forth between the cup and the pads). Anyway, I hope the LENA is as good to you as it's been to me. I absolutely love the cup and can't wait to try other cups just to have choices! PS. Sleeping in this cup was also amazing. No leaking, no waking up in the middle of the night to change anything. It was great to sleep all the way through for the first time.
