The “stabby cup” lol And the screw cup looks like a torture device

As a cup user with a couple of different cups myself, Ive concluded that a cup doesnt need to be super complicated for it to work. What is important is fit and firmness.

Why do I feel some of these were designed by people who don't use them!

The first cup company's response to very valid critique is almost comedic. "Well you can do this and that and this and that" for something hundreds of cups can do with no problem at all? As mentioned, other cups have no-leak flaps that are designed well enough to pop out for cleaning. If a lot of people agree your design sucks, you just need to take it and try to fix the next design.

The first cups company clearly is unprofessional and if they can't handle feedback from customers then they deserve the shade they are getting. If you can't take feedback from costumers you loose them and aren't allowing room for improvement on your product. As for the other cups I am confused as to why they thought these would make good cups because they look uncomfortable, messy, or nonfunctional. I totally see why you say these were the worst you have tried.

Some of these were so clearly designed by men 😂😒

The one time my Saalt cup turned sideways was so weird and frustrating, I can't imagine dealing with an upside down cup!

I wish there was some sort of mold we could use to get the shape of our actual vagina/cervix position and get a perfectly custom made cup for each individual. That would really be something

You know the saying, "if it didn't work for you, it might work for others." That saying doesn't apply to these weird cups.

Hearing your story about the xo flow makes me realise just how different the whole cup experience must be for people with lower cervixes. as someone with a very high cervix, every time i use a cup feels like a bit of a dance with danger, they virtually ALL disappear up there if i dont find the correct size/shape! it's definitely made the whole experience of learning cups that much more challenging. the lumma unique disc ended up being my goldilocks - even then sometimes im worried the stem will disappear 😂

The bad experience with the cup flipping that you mention and said that if it was the first time you maybe would be scared of trying again. .. So my first time using one was with a well known one here in my country, and i read about cups before and all that (it was like 6 years ago and we didnt have a lot of content about it here yet, but that cup still is really good, just i think i didnt have the knowledge), and so i trimmed the little handle because people said it hurt... But then... I couldnt take it out for the love of god. When i tried to pinch the cup it was slippery and i couldnt grab it (after that i searched and discovered that my cervix is like deeper than most, idk) and i freaked out thinking i would have to go to the er lol. After half an hour of this i decided to take a bath and relax bc i was all tensed up. And then i remembered i had latex gloves (im an esthetician hehe) so i took one and using it and squating i could grab the cup without it slippin away and take it out. Not surprising i ended up traumatized and never used one ever again. But now im starting to want to try again. Thanks for the vids 😊

The valve cup is a hard pass for me, I have clots when I bleed and that thing wouldn’t work.

The cleaning of the first cup is not gonna happen… If it not solving the problem it’s creating problems….😂 Thanks for your great content ….💜

Hey, Kim! Just wanted to say thanks for the videos you made of all these years. My country still need a lot of work for introducing menstrual cup as an option, so I have no one to ask, and watching your videos made me understand my own body better and made me confident to use menstrual cup! Time flies and I'm already using it for a year. Thanks! ☺️ Bless your kind heart ♥

I predict the next novelty cup will be one with a huge hole in the bottom to quickly drain clots and then you screw the stem back in

Oooh! I saw this cup in one of your shorts and was so curious about wtf was going on there! I’m glad to finally get to see what it is and why it looks like that.

I didn't know this was possible, but watching this video .... gave me cramps!! Definitely appreciate the info though. Thank you for sharing your experiences & for "taking one for the team"!!! Lol

The stabby cup looks like it was designed by the devil.

Thank you sooo much for all your work and very useful reviews ❤

I just got my first reusable menstrual product from your period shop(my first ever actually) during my last period and thanks to the test your site has i think I got the perfect thing for me. Lumma disc was super great for me and was super comfortable and easy to use. I wasnt sure what to get because ive had multiple kids and never used any of these but it was great

in Poland beppy cup also works not very well xd they comments everywhere from fake accounts praising their products.

That cup near the end, the XO, looks great but there's no place to grip on the base so it's dependent on the long grip part. Upsidedown though, scary.

That first cup stressed me out so much

Thank you so much for providing helpful information for women❤

Thanks to you I switched to reusable period options 🙂❤️

I bought a random cup from a dollar store and it fits me percect lol it was 3 dollars. I have just started using the few disc's and I love them. Hate the mess when taking out tho. But atleast its only every 12 hrs

Oh gawd, my painful joints could never with their weird emptying method for the first one. I'm getting Home Depot vibes from that orange screw one.

On the last review I instantly checked if my flipped 🤣🤣🤣

As someone who has a heavy period and uses a pixie cup, i need to change it every 4-6 hours or else MY CUP RUNNETH OVER

A cup user myself. I have several cups, all different brands. 1. Intimina (light days) 2. Two femmycycle cups. 3. A Merula os & xl (my favorite cup besides the femmycycle) 4. A nixit disc & A Cora disc I just received in the mail as of 12-1-21.

Love how the first cup company acted 😂 constructive criticism, maybe listen to your customers and build on it. It do look like it be hard to clean tbh with that rim inside of it

OMG those cups look frightful😂 especially the fourth one

I need that sweater❤

Wow, that round cup story really freaked me out 😅 no round cups, got it 😱

I love the XO Flo cup! It’s the best cup for me that I have tried so far. But I have a high cervix so I keep the full stem. Although my one complaint is that the stem is too weak/breaks easily, so now I only have a partial length stem. It’s not that I’m pulling on it like a tampon, but I do have to grab it a bit to get the base of the cup low enough to pinch, and I broke off the first two segments of the stem. But, since this cup works for my heavy flow and doesn’t leak and it never auctions to my cervix, it’s been my perfect cup so far!

I feel like valve cups could be great if they would just engineer them smarter, like pinching one direction to open the valve and another to close it, or a valve closed with a bell valve design inside the cup so if it's closed it won't drain but if the valve is open it would empty, but it seems like you'll get blood all over ur hands no matter what, ya know?

The thing that happened to you with the XO cup happened to me as well with the Merula: cut most of the stem because of the high of the cervix, and it flipped inside ;; awful experience 💔

Thank you for another amazing video! I'm so happy I watched this one because I experienced a similar traumatizing situation a few months ago with a new menstrual disc I purchased. One morning, after wearing the disc all night, it took forever to reach and grasp it (ok, not forever, more like 30 minutes or so) and I too started to panic and sweat! Before it happened, I was really satisfied with this disc, but since the incident, I'm too afraid to use it!

My hello disc arrived today! I normally use cups but found that they have started leaking since coming off the pill (I have no idea why but I suspect they’re going on an adventure past my cervix). My period should start the week after next and I’m looking forward to trying out discs

The valve cups just sound like a cleaning nightmare. Besides cups should be removed at least every 12 hours anyway.

I currently use the nixit disc and it’s amazing. Highly recommended. Also do you think that the company Tampax would ever make a disc ? I just had that thought and it would be kind of cool if they did.

The femmycycle was awful for me! It suctiones onto my cervix and literally (temporarily) deformed it.

IHello, I love your videos and the info as well as insight you share. I wanted to share I had a Saalt regular that I had been wearing with no leaks.ystem was irritating a Lil. I trimmed it but still the same so I trimmed it off. Well after I did that it seemed fine. I had some leaks went to check on it. My guy likes to watch so he's there too. Well I tried to get out wasn't working couldn't relax as he's tried to tell me how to do it and asking if I want him to do it. So it did the same thing yours did flipped with opening facing it had me panic like I can get it out. So I did have suction too but I never war it again. I did by a new one and left the stem alone. I have now have a Merula xl. I have been trying g for months now and it hadn't worked well but once. It would leak . I need it for heavy flow as tampons can't hold anymore had me changing too often an accidents. Well I saw couple others say to punch down and then flip, that is awkward I been doing normally t His time seems to work. So questions how did y you insert. Also any tips

Unrelated to this video, but is Femmecup still a thing? I got mine probably a decade ago and was looking for another, but I'm having trouble finding where to order one. Also, thanks for you educational and entertaining videos!

i really want to use a cup but even thinking about these complications makes me feel like throwing up :( caveat: i have a panic disorder and have bad issues with tampons and even needles.

I have lost cups multiple times. I apparently am not meant for them. They somehow fold and hide into weird places and it’s totally freaky. No thanks for me. I’ve tried a few different things and tried measuring my cervix height, etc. it’s a no for me. But I love discs!

that's why i never remove the stem, the position of the cervix varies, i like tampons better than cups but I'm boycotting tampax for putting a man as their representative.

The first time i used a cup I had put it in a few days prior and then trimmed the stem but when I put it in again when I went to take it out and my finger would not reach. my cervix was really high compared to when I first tried and I was TERRIFIED, I had to bear down to get it low enough for me to grab it but I still struggled tobreak the seal. it hurt like heck

Love the uterus jumper

The Flex cup is by far the best one ever!

I love the femmicycle for active moments but am trying discs for heavy cramp days because of the suction on my cervix.

The cup was upside down??!😮😮 wooow. ❤

How does the collapsible menstrual cup work?

new trauma unlocked - cup turning upside-down O_O

I complained about the beppy cup and they only replied after the 3rd time.

Hi, can you please discuss the femme cycle cup? Would really appreciate your view

Her top is everything 😅

Honestly I wish there cups made for people that are disabled. Things like the Flex cup but with a longer "handle" for those of us with issues that make bending difficult or some way to fold the cup and keep it folded that you release after the cup is in. I'm very new to the cup and have gotten mine to open internally only a couple times (it's a knockoff brand but its all I can afford for now as I'm on a fixed income). I'm disabled and bending well to insert/retrieve is difficult but I want a reusable product.

Like your shirt.

Wait, how did it even turn?

Thanks for sharing your first scare story with a menstrual cup, I used the soft brand cup suggested by your site & practiced using one on the end of my period, on my lightest days & when my next period came I used the cup but couldn’t reach it (find it) because my cervix was very high, is it common for a woman’s cervix to be high & low at different times during your period?

Yeah i tried the flex cup first and oh boy that was a Time. Because i finally got it in, but it probably wasnt situated right, since it was super uncomfortable and getting to be painful. “Ok i should remove and try again” cue one of the most stressful experiences of my life. Everything i did to try and pull it out just caused further pain, but then i couldnt even stop and take my time with it because letting go of it also caused pain. So im just sitting there for what felt like a solid 30 seconds minimum desperately trying to gently wiggle this thing out in the least painful way possible fighting every instinct to just yank it because god knows what that could do. So I did not try it a second time lol. I tried the disks it came with after that though and it Just Worked and it actually ended up being the first time i didnt need any painkiller just to function on my period so. Consolation prize? Lol

15:00 maybe they should combine this cup with the dumping idea. Unscrew the opening, dump, screw back?😅 It has to be a lot thinner though. Also another idea - a cup with a Bluetooth opening that you can control from your phone. 😅 Or maybe with a magnetic valve that opens from a proximity of another magnet on a silicon stick which you put in there while you're in a toilet and want to dump it. Only if you are in a room with magnets it might autodump itself 😅😅 like a CT scan or something

Company may be mad, but it makes sense. I can see it is hard to clean

do you think 13 years old is too young to try a cup or disk? im really interested and feel like it would be a lot better for me because im a dancer who is very active and tampons always seem to leak for me because i have a very heavy flow. how should i ask my mom about buying me one?

So surprised for your opinion of beppy cup is the best cup that I had use. So easy to put it on and take it off, at the start could hard to clean but then is easy. So far the best and so sad that mine fell in the toilet and for that reason I’m here looking reviews to buy a different one. Can you tell me where did you get your beppy cup in USA please? I could find it on amazon

4:20 it also looks like a perfect cup to grow your own little bacteria army. The less curves and the less difficult-to-wash-hidden-parts the cup has, the better...

There is a cup my husband picked up for after I accidentally threw my favourite cup away on a rd trip. TOM cups. The one he purchased is such a rough material I swear it sheared the lining of my vagina it felt raw... might be ok for others but I suspect I'm reaching menopause so not ideal without natural lubrication

Wow that would have really really scared me omw

I think cups aren’t for me because yes they do work for me but my body is sensitive to the suction

I won’t be trying that beppy one to complicated

I passed out the first time I tried a cup

Can you please help me. I am using the merula cup. I can not pee. But i have the feeling that i have to pee all the time. Do you have a suggestion for another cup?

I, too, have been traumatized by the XO cup!!😂😂 unfortunately, that was the first cup I tried and that was the wrong decision. The stem is very irritating and I hand went on an outing and had to go in a public restroom to try and remove it because it was painful. I COULD NOT get that cup out. Pure panic! I was in tears. I got myself together and just dealt with the pain the rest of the day. When I got home I still couldn’t remove it. I finally decided to take a break and come back an hour later. I was able to remove it then. I decided to cut the stem completely off and try again next period and the same thing happened where I couldn’t remove it. Without the stem it’s too slippery and round. It sucks because that is the only cup that has never leaked, not once. They should totally redesign the bottom part. The 2nd worst is the flex cup that you unplug at the bottom. That does not work at all. The 3rd worst for me is the Lumma Disc. I know people love it but I do not like the silicone that they use. I’m not sure it’s even silicone. Can’t be medical grade. It’s almost rough compared to others and doesn’t allow for proper sanitation imo.

Im shocked by your burn of the beppy cup! I just started using it and I like it! It solves many problems other conventional cups could not. So yay to beppy for me. So I would say your original comment still holds: there are no bad cups just bad fits..

I'm convinced that these were all made by simpleton or men.

Omg, the screw cup?? What in the Wish menstrual cup is going on there 😳

I've had an abortion before 10 weeks, so for your quiz, do I answer yes or no for pregnancy? I currently don't have children.

Cup roast cup roast

I saw the title and had to know, how bad could the designs be. My initial reaction: these were designed by people who never had a period or haven’t had one in decades

I just came up with a nick name for that screw cup thingy: “ the crankshaft pumpkin” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 when it’s time for your period, you can say: “gotta go fix my car” 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍 thanks for your video.

That’s sad, I love the Beppy cup and can’t relate to your comments about it :c

and this, my darlings, is a consequence of patriarchy. lol

The Screw Cup just sounds so wrong and uncomfortable.

😨

It disappoints me a bit that opinion of the beppy :( I literally followed all your advice to get the best cup for me and that is the Beppy. The cleaning isnt an issue. I flip it so easily. I feel you are making a huge issue of a little thing I literally do it in 10 seconds and Ive had it for a year. Also you said you didnt even read the instructions properly at first. I know how you want to review every single cup but It takes at least a couple of months (really more) to know a cup. Makes me feel this reviews are pointless and biased. I have never been a troll in anyway nor I mean to be. However it really disappoints that all those teachings you have given before dont apply to the Beppy. 1 great for heavy periods 2 the softness is perfect for people bladder sensitive 3 the ring makes everything easier and you definitely wont ever lose it at the toilet (happened to me) 4. You feel safer because of its leaking system. 5. Its a hispanic cup and it approaches a very different community and looks to create period awareness in latin and hispanic countries that dont have access to most of the cups you talk about. 6 Guess you can have sex on light days. However its the less important and focusing on those type of stuff is just for the clickbait really. I would love to see you find a better way to do this review thing. Put a cup in it has passed and I feel you can make your content more innovative without talking of pointless issues or cups that are just really for the curiosity shelf. :(

please dont title this video "traumatized" as you are making light of actually being traumatized
