Oura Ring x Natural Cycles Review | Is Oura Ring Worth the $$$?
Рет қаралды 19,354
Жыл бұрынI debated for over a year on whether or not to get the Oura Ring...and then a couple months ago I did.
Here's my review of the Oura Ring on it's own, its compatibility with Natural Cycles (the non-hormonal birth control app), why I switched from Apple Watch, and whether or not the Oura Ring is worth the money.
Let me in the comments if you prefer Oura, Apple Watch, FitBit, or something else for your health & fitness tracking!
As always, thanks for being here :)

Hey ! Thanks for the review. I have natural cycles also and likewise after a good while on it I got very bad at taking my temperature. I've been thinking about getting oura ring but it's very expensive and want to be sure it'll actually benefit me for using the natural cycles app, so this review was very helpful. I think if your a natural cycles member the natural cycles app also offers a discount for the oura ring.

I’m so glad this review could help! Yes, I think Natural Cycles sometimes runs a promo on deals with the Oura Ring as well! Im not sure if it’s a permanent promo or just every once in a while, but if your check it out within your Natural Cycles App, it should say!❤️

I have done a lot of research into the ring specifically for the BBT tracking 😅 But I will say it wouldn’t be a replacement for my Apple Watch since the Watch definitely does actually track workouts and sleep and most other things better…I am just not sure if the newer Apple Watch’s ability to also do the body temp is as good as the Oura ring…so…I am waiting to see 🤣
@hannpena Жыл бұрын
Ooh I would love to hear feedback on that!! So far I’ve had a great experience with Oura and love the sleep tracking too, but I also never really used that feature on the Apple Watch so maybe that’s why I never noticed it there!
@marisadamiano2088 Жыл бұрын
When you order: do they send just the size kit first? Then confirm the size and then they send the ring?
@hannpena Жыл бұрын
Yes! That’s exactly how it works! And they recommend you wear the ring from the sizing kit for 24-48 hours before confirming your size to make sure it’s still comfortable from all the changes in your hands throughout the day. I wore my sizing kit ring for 36ish hours and then confirmed my ring size and they sent out the ring that same day! From initial order to receiving the actual ring only took about a week. It was so quick!

Hi, I'm debating on getting the Oura ring with Natural Cycles. I wonder though what if I have to wake up at 7 but I have to pee around 6? Or maybe I have to out of bed 2 times. And what if I get out of bed and sleep a little further? And what if I have to wake up the one day at 7 but a next day at 10 so I can sleep in. Does that matter?

Question - so you have to still log into natural cycle and put in your temperature from the Oura ring before you get up and move around?
@hannpena Жыл бұрын
Great question! No, you don’t have to do it before you get up and move around! From my understanding, the Oura Ring takes your temperature constantly, so whenever you go into Natural Cycles that day and sync it, Oura Ring will use its algorithm magic to sync what your basal body temp was. You just have to make sure you’re wearing the ring while you sleep overnight 🥳

You do have to open the app to sync it, but you don’t have to do it first thing before you move or anything like that like what you have to do if just taking your temp manually! There have been some days I forgot to sync til later in the day, but the algorithm works its magic🥳

Hi, im considering buying the oura ring and use it for birth control. I have natural cycle and i dont need the ring to track anything else, so i was wondering if i have to have a membership at the oura app as well, or will i be abe to only have the natural cycle membership?
@hannpena Жыл бұрын
Hi there! That’s a great question! I see on Oura’s website that you can cancel the membership at any time and still have access to sleep, readiness, and activity metrics! I’m not sure if that includes heart rate or if it would still sync with Natural Cycles, so that might be a question to ask Oura customer service! Let me know if you do, because that’s so useful to know!
