So, I'm sure you can guess that with me being one of those natural cure and medicine kind of moms that you can get that I'd rather have something in which I can reuse and that doesn't care harm to me or my body during my... monthly time.
So, I have heard about the organic tampons and I thought that was an amazing thing to have for women. But even though I love this thought, I want something that pays for itself over and over and the cup to me seemed the better way to go because I don't want to have to buy something every month because I don't want my "time" staining clothes or want to feel like I'm wearing a diaper either. So, I ordered one on amazon -- here is the link. They come in colors and different sizes as well, though I bought a clear and a small, even though it says "pre-childbirth" I didn't think that I needed a large as I am quite petite, but you should be the one making the final decision if you decide to buy one as well!
So, with that let me begin ---
The small holds 2 oz of liquid, you know I would just rather say that to just come out and say blood, its like periods are some kind of taboo and you're not supposed to talk about what happens during one! Crazy huh? So, it holds that amount of liquid and its actually quite small, smaller than I thought it would be which made me happy as I was worried about how big this "cup" going into my lady parts was going to be. So, with that phew of relief I was actually excited for once to start my period. Folding and inserting was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be and than I have read about with the instructions along with the cup and other womens views on the cups... Now, you are going to be very, ah, for lack of better term, in touch with your self, so being squeamish about your parts or touching them I would not suggest you get this cup. So inserting, you basically pinch the cup and pull the sides together to make a C shape, then you hold and insert and once its inside it has this suction cup action which happens almost instantly. Now, with taking it out and emptying it thats, well a whole different story. Now along with getting over the whole I am putting my fingers inside myself without wanting or giving myself pleasure, you now have to pull out this cup which has your blood inside. I have not had the cup spill on me, or be covered in blood on the outside, but I do empty and rinse before I reinsert so I did happen to get blood on me, though I did not mind. But I will say this and make sure this is the ONE thing you remember. ALWAYS KEEP A GOOD GRIP WHEN YOU ARE TAKING THE CUP OUT! Luckily, there was nothing but water in the tub, well along with the contents that spilled out which wasn't a lot but either way, I stuck on a glove got it out freaking boiled it and washed it more than I care to say before using it again. Now even though you're touching and getting not so clean things, or something you want to realize you're getting on you when you use this, I have to say I am happiest using this as my monthly routine.
One of the main things I believe I like the most about the blossom cup is that, you litterally can't feel that its there. And if you leave it in for over an 8 hours period you don't have to worry about some horrible syndrome that could potentially kill you!
I highly suggest this cup, well I can't say over any other cup since this has been the only one I've tried and I feel that how happy I am with it I do not need to try another. But I highly suggest using this cup over tampons, organic or not, and pads, because no one wants to feel like their both wearing a diaper or uncomfortable.
