I hate it I took it out and It spilled everwherw and the worst part was I was at school so I had to go the rest of the day with blood stains on my shoes and it's just to big ummm uncompotftable
@BrookeSpiffy When you first enter the bathroom, you fill up a bottle (that's provided) with water from the sink. It looks like a contact lense solution bottle. When you're on the toilet, you pour the blood into the toilet, and rinse the cup with the water in the bottle and you rinse your hands, then you just put it back in like normal.
@BrookeSpiffy You dump it in the toilet and wipe it off, put it back in. Simple. Hell, if you tend to carry a water bottle in your purse, you can rinse it off and just put it back in. ALthough since they last longer (8-12 hours), you don't usually run into this problem
@Rozax No they wouldn't. Cups have been around for decades and there's a reason they've never been number one. For a lot of women they're a hassle or they won't fit or they'll be uncomfortable. And eventually a leak WILL happen no matter what. I still keep pads and tampons on hand in addition to my cup.
@Demiurge22 I'll concede that it isn't for all body types, but it is working very well for me, and I have never once had a leak. As for advertising, disposables DO rule the media and reusables are a threat. I'm confident that tampon sales would go down drastically if more women even knew these existed.
@Demiurge22 I've been using the cup for over four years and while I have had a couple of leaks, it is so much less than I had with almost 20 years experience with tampons and pads it's not even a comparison. The problem with this is not that it doesn't work, it's that I didn't know about it sooner!
@boddahveryape Okay but the concept of tampons, pads, and cups have been around for centuries. People used rags, some people used sponges, or rolled up cloth, some people used lemon peel halves. None of these are new. Cups as we know them have not really gained popularity until more recently.
@boddahveryape Actually it is accurate because it didn't say it was about the history of the menstrual cup. It said something better has come along NOW! Which is true because NOW it's made with medical grade silicone and not latex. Which means this video is accurate.
Cute ad and great animation! Word of advice (I'm in radio production), you shouldn't have lyrics in your music unless it's at the beginning or end of the commercial (Or at a time when the narrator is not talking). The over-all music volume could have been louder, and you could use a program like audacity or adobe audition to loop just the instrumental part of the song. I know you're not necessarily trying to be an audio producer, but I just wanted to give you that tip. Great job. I <3 the cup!

Tampons would be toast if we actually saw commercials for these. Alas, advertizing controls the media.

Uhm your facts are wrong. These types of cups have been around since the 1930's...

@marler3 I was just saying.... they've been around longer than they state. Their fact is wrong. Doesn't matter when they started becoming popular.
