The new instead

Date:December 21, 2011

I have been using Instead menstrual cups since they first came to market. I saw them in an ad in the back pages of Cosmopolitan magazine. The product has recently been slightly altered in design. The insert ring has been slighty narrowed, allowing the cup to be slightly fuller. I appreciate both designs. When the product first came out, the package contained 24 for much less than the new package design containing only 14, but I'll take them as I can get them. Since the store where I first found them stopped selling them, I am glad I found them at Walgreens.

One Size Fits All is Not Good Enough

Date:December 18, 2011

Pros: Convenient

Cons: Leaky, no size options

Apparently I'm one of those ladies to whom "one size fits all" does not apply. Softcup was far too large for a good fit, and leaked everywhere. I tried multiple times to get a good fit, to no avail. I'm really quite bummed that this product did not work out.

Product Is Excellent!

Date:October 21, 2011

Pros: barely noticeable (unlike pads and some brands of, if you're sensitive no irritation (as with tampon

I would have never thought that I would like anything better than pads, until I found Softcup!
I am a college student and one day I was leaving school and they were giving out these little sample packets. When I looked at the packets, I wasn't exactly what it was I hand it my hand. I read the booklet that came with the two purple little wrapped Softcups and liked what I read, so I decided to try the product for myself.
Today was my first day using it and I love it so far!

Overall, I like the product. But it takes some getting used to.

Way better than tampons

Date:October 13, 2011

Softcup is a way better alternative to tampons. No dryness, irritation, changing throughout the day or general discomfort. I just bought the new style of softcup with a thinner ring, and they're a great improvement on a great product.

Yes, Softcup is kind of disgusting to use, but not nearly so much as tampons. Really, menstruation is the disgusting thing, so any way you choose to deal with it will be gross, but you may as well be a lot more comfortable throughout the process.

Sweet surprise

Date:September 19, 2011

Pros: comfortable long lasting

After seeing an ad for this product I thought I would research it, I saw the awesome reviews and thought I would give it a try. The first one I put in wasn't far in enough but i got the second one right. I usually go through a Tampon and pad in one night (heavy flow) and have to wake up and change the tampon in the middle of the night so I was very skeptical. I did not bleed through at all. It worked. It's comfortable and the more you wear it the more confident you feel you will not leak. As long as you are comfortable with yourself, this will be a breeze. I put one on in the am after I shower before work, after work empty it and rinse reinsert until I shower and put a new one on at night before bed. I did not experience any accidents at all. When you contract or beardown (num 2) you will notice leakage but the cup adjust back. I love this product and I highly recommend it. Here is my tip for when you put it on: Follow the instructions. When you insert the cup point it back ( towards your butt) make sure you put it all the way in as far as it will go(it will go behind your cervix) and the rest kind of falls in place.

Great innovation

Date:September 16, 2011

Pros: Light weight, No Leaks

Cons: price is a little too high

At first, trying to figure them out is a little difficult, but once you have it down, they don't leak like tampons and you can't feel them either. Honestly, the only bad thing about them is having to buy a new pack every month or two months.
