“I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my Femmecup
and can't believe it took me so long to actually purchase and try a menstrual cup!! The first month took some practice with the ease of inserting and removing the cup, but by my third cycle with the menstrual cup, I was completely comfortable with using and cleaning the cup. And completely in love! The fact that I can leave the cup in for so much longer than a tampon is a big bonus. I could spend the whole day outdoors, hiking, swimming, etc. and not have to worry about changing a tampon. Because I live in a very small town in the deserts of Sinai ( Egypt ), access to tampons was limited - and expensive as all products were imported. The Femmecup has saved me loads of money already! But my favorite thing about the Femmecup is the lack of trash. That is vitally important to me as I live in a village/town that suffers from lack of proper sanitation and garbage disposal. Knowing that I am not adding to our growing pile of refuse makes me very happy.
“Dear Team, Your product
was recommended to me by a very good friend and I just have to tell you how great it is. It took a couple of tries to get used to it, but its so simple. No more worries each month. Great for sports and holidays. This really is a fantastic product. I've been using it for nearly two years now and it's the best thing I've spent money on in a very long time. Thank you.
for your amazing product. In January 2009 my period changed and became very heavy and unpredictable. Ordinary pads and tampons couldn't cope and my lifestyle was being affected. This was particularly upsetting as I had a great deal of travel planned - including four months of camping through Africa where toilet facilities would be highly varied. I was heartbroken: faced with the thought that I wouldn't be able to take the trip of a lifetime, something that I'd worked so hard for, just because of my period. Discussing it frankly with my mother I jokingly told her I wished there was some sort of "plug" I could use so I could get on with my life. Days later she saw an ad for Femmecup in a magazine and called me immediately. I was sceptical at first but I was also willing to try anything. The testimonials on the website told of women just like me who had had their doubts but had proceeded for whatever reason and were so glad they did. The speedy delivery was incredibly impressive (from the UK to my home in New Zealand in three days - I'm not even sure how that's possible). It took me a bit of practise to perfect the insertion but I'm so happy with it now.
My favourite thing about Femmecup is the comfortable clean feeling - no more leaks or spots, no going to the bathroom during the day to check on tampons. No tampon that's inserted 'not quite right' making its presence felt. No waking up worrying what state my pyjamas were in. Welcome back to clean white underwear. During the day I often completely forget I have my period. Financially it is obviously amazing: I haven't bought a feminine hygiene product in over a year. Environmentally it is wonderful. No more having to dispose of bundles of used pads or trying to flush tampons. Happily I was able to do - and enjoy - my Africa trip. Sleeping in tents in the Serengeti, listening to hyenas outside and knowing that my Femmecup was quietly doing its job. Stopping by the roadside in Botswana to quickly pee behind a bush and knowing that I needn't deal with my period until getting to camp at night. White water rafting the Nile in Uganda, being constantly in and out of the water with no fear of a soggy pad floating away from me.
Menstrual cups like the Femmecup are the future for women everywhere. I am working on converting my friends: so far two have joined me and we can laugh at the others still doing things the old-fashioned way. To those who say "it sounds weird" I say "is it really any weirder than a tampon, if you think about it?" If you're thinking about it, try it. It will change the way you feel about your period.
Thank you Femmecup for your simple, amazing, wonderful little product. I'm not sure you will every know how much I appreciate it.
“I got my femmecup a few weeks ago
and started using it a few days ago...I don't even know where to start...I can't believe I haven't heard about it before, I wasted so many sanitary pads and tampons in the last 15 years... I read about it in an article, that's why I bought it, but apart from that I haven't heard about it at all.You should advertise it more, it's such a breakthrough product that every woman should know about it. I'm quite environmentally orientated and this is one of the reasons why I love this product. Also I can't believe the feeling, I can't feel it when it's inside me, even with the full length stem, the only thing is that you can easily forget about it ;) No more going to the toilet to check on my pad/tampon, I can wear it all day at work and then take it out when I came back from work. It will make my life sooo much easier....and more eco friendly, and cheaper. A BIG BIG THANK YOU
“I love my Femmecup!
I read a book about making green choices, and it gave a figure about how much 'sanitary' waste the average woman produces in her lifetime. So I had a picture in my head of the pile of used pads and tampons that I would use in my lifetime, and beside that pile, one little menstrual cup. It wasn't difficult to decide which scenario I preferred.
That book recommended a forum about menstrual cups that I have referred to over and over again: http://community.livejournal.com/menstrual_cups That's where I figured out that Femmecup would be the best cup for me. That's where I learned about the myriad of folds that can be used for insertion. That's where I learned about how to trim the stem. That's where I turned for help when I thought the cup was irrevocably married to my cervix. If it weren't for the encouragement from the forum, I would have concluded that using a menstrual cup wasn't right for me. I think every new Femmecup user should know about that forum.
