Menstrual Cup by AllMatters - Size B - Superior to Pads & Tampons - Voted Best Menstrual Cup by Reviewed - Made in Germany - Soft and Flexible

This is the first menstrual cup I have ever used. I generally use tampons during the day and pads at night. While it was a little difficult and uncomfortable to insert the cup the first time I tried it, the process took less than three minutes. I would imagine it is much harder to insert for people who are not regular tampon users or for people who have never inserted anything into their vaginas. However, if you are committed to sustainability or not spending money every month on pads, then give it a try. Resilience is a wonderful trait.Once the cup is inserted, I don't really feel it throughout the day, which is nice. I have not had the cup inserted while working out or riding a bike though, so I do not know if it is still comfortable in those situations. I think it is important for me to mention that I have a pretty light flow, so if you have a heavier flow, you might have more issues with the cup (more frequent removal and emptying, more leaking, etc).Pros:-easy enough for beginners-pretty comfortable once inserted-no leaks so far (strong suction)-You don't have to worry about a wet tampon string (ex: after swimming with a tampon in, accidentally peeing on the string, etc).-it's sustainable (no more throwing away all that plastic packaging for tampons and pads)-it's cost-effective (women on average spend something like thousands of dollars on menstrual products throughout their lifetime)-It holds about three tampons worth of fluid, so even though it's not as easy to insert as a tampon, you don't have to take it out and re-insert it as much as you would a tampon.Cons:-it's more difficult to insert than a tampon (it's girthier than any tampon I've used at least)-It's probably not convenient if you have to empty it out during school or in any public place where the sink is not in the same area as the toilet. (However, given the global pandemic, you hopefully do not have to spend all day in public areas with public restrooms.)-It's a bit harder to remove than a tampon from a suction standpoint. (I find it best to pull on the little stem thing, and then try to pinch the bottom of the cup to get a better grip.)
