Ladies and Gentlemen, There is something that is really bothering me in the midst of all of this menstruation talk and that is the issue about how women feel about their own vaginas. There, I’ve said it. Vagina. Can everyone deal with it? (Apparently not, as I was recently told that it is “gross” by …
I’m sorry to say that I don’t know much about Finland. But, I think it speaks very highly about a place when they produce a product that inspires someone to Wikipedia their country. 🙂 Lunette colored cups, note new “purple” and “orange” colors in the center.Image by Lunette My Clear Lunette Model 2 and “Cynthia” (frosted …
It seems that lately, I’ve been getting asked the same sorts of questions over and over again. 🙂 Thank you for asking them, btw, because it is through you that I’ve realized a common denominator… as well as a common misconception about what I (and others) actually do. I’m hoping that this post will …

Day 6 Well ladies, let’s grab a cup of tea and have a chat shall we? 🙂 It seems that my menstrual cup journaling has come to an end. From here on out, I’ll need to be checking for spotting the old fashioned way, with my old, trusty cloth panty liners. But I do want to …
Day 5 Well, I’m totally happy to say that my adventures in the menstrual cup have been rather uneventful. Yesterday evening I decided to sleep in the soft cup and found that the “C” fold does work best with a softer cup and a “punch down” works best with a stiffer cup. In both cases, …
Day 4 Well, last night, I woke up with the feeling that I needed to empty the cup, so I got out of bed, went to the bathroom, and it was about half full, but I had leaked 1 drop onto my overnight pad. I managed to empty the cup, rinse and reinsert without even …
Day 3 WOW! I needed to change my cloth pad in the middle of the night and didn’t. Now THIS is a heavy flow. This is only my second flow post partum (due to amennohorea caused by breastfeeding) so maybe that is why this is quite a bit funky. At any rate, I had total …
Day 2 I woke up in the morning fully expecting leaks. I’m still not sure that I know when this thing is in right or open properly. Surprise surprise…no leaks! (No leaks so far!) Cup was filled about half way. It is SO interesting to see my menstrual blood collected like this. I …
Image by MeLuna MeLuna recently gifted Wise Woman Fertility with quite a sampling of their menstrual cups to try! As you may remember from my previous post about menstrual cups, they are typically made from silicone or latex but Meluna makes theirs out of medical grade plastic. From what I can see from …
