Hellooo, everyone!

I live in the US and have been seriously jonesin for a Fleurcup for a while now. If there's anyone living in the EU who can get one for me, that would be freakin awesome! Even better would be if 2 other people ordered so we can all get a slight discount. Thanks in advance!!

I started using my DivaCup a couple of months ago and LOVE it. The only problem is that on my heavy days, I am emptying around once an hour and would like a larger capacity. The Yuuki looks like my best bet, but with the Lunette having FDA approval, would it be worth it to just wait a little while for that to become more widely available?

For folks in the US, what is the cheapest and easiest way to get a Yuuki here?

Thanks for all your help, ladies!

Hi,
Any USA cuppers order non-US shipping cups from leastore.com? i.e. lunette, fleur, etc......

If so, how was your experience?
How long did it take for shipping?
Did U pay w/paypal?

ETA: I got my fleurcup yesterday, Monday 12-14. I'm sooo excited!!
Leastore.com was GREAT! They sent me candies too:-) Not that I need 'em:-)

Thanks

I was wondering, for those of you that have Yuuki Cups and live in the US, where did you order it from? I think I am going to get my friend a small Yuuki Cup, since the Lunette still doesn't ship to the US yet. It seems very similar to the Lunette and hopefully will be easy to use.

Hello there!

I just bought a lady cup on eBay, which I'm really excited to get, but I'm just wondering, for those of you in North America who've bought one on there, how long approx. did it take to get to you?

Thanks!

A few weeks ago someone posted this http://community.livejournal.com/menstrual_cups/1951817.html - it was about wearing a menstrual cup if you were in hospital and how would the staff know that you were wearing one.
I have been thinking about this and wondered if something like this would be appropriate http://www.totalmerchandise.co.uk/products/details/Two-and-Four-Tone-Silicon-Wristbands
I am thinking of ordering some as promotional items for my website, if you think they would be of use. I would have my website on there and maybe something like "menstrual cup wearer" on it.
What do you think? Would you wear one while you were wearing a cup, just in case? Would you wear it all the time?
Do you like the text or can you think of something better.
I'm thinking of ordering 1000 and selling them for £1.00 or free with any menstrual cup. They would be 2 colours, the colours in my new logo.

I'm just asking for feedback rather than waste my money.
Thanks

Hello,

I am 28, no kids, and have never used a menstrual cup. However, on recommendation from a friend I've been reading for the past couple days on this fabulous site about the various cups, sizes, etc. It appears I have a short vaginal canal and thus would like to start by trying one of the shorter cups. Balancing this with wanting as much fill capacity as possible, I've narrowed it down to a Lunette, Yuuki or Fleurcup. None of these, however, are available to ship to the US on the main sites I have found.

Questions:
1. Has anyone found a reputable site from which to purchase one of these cups?
2. Has anyone with an easily palpable cervix (i.e. short canal) tried a Diva (the most readily available in the US)? I am aware that they are one of the longest, so this concerns me that it might not be comfortable.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks!

LadyCup is having a christmas discount over on their website: ladycup.eu It says " all LadyCup with big terry-cloth bag, lubrication gel and milton tablets for FREE.

i'd like to buy a waterproof menstrual cup pouch for my sis. does anyone know of an online store or maker? i checked etsy but no one seems to make them waterproof.

thanks.

EDIT: i thought a waterproof pouch might be useful sometimes if she wants to rinse her cup quickly with water and store. it wouldn't matter if some water was left. however, i'll be sure to tell her not to use the waterproof pouch all the time.

Special announcement!
The Fleurcup is now £18.00 from Feminine Wear  http://www.femininewear.co.uk/fleurcup-menstrual-p-517.html

The black satin bag is available on it's own.

Thanks

Hi everyone!!!!!

Some may remember me as the one who does the bulk orders. Well, yesterday I placed the order and am now starting up another one. =)

According to Meluna, the Larges are being released middle of November. ANy takers????

Im asking $20 per cup ( rate of currency exchange has changed... sucks!). This will include shipping within the US. I will do international shipping just send me an email and Ill come up with a quote for you. ;)

Here's my email- chaplain.k@hotmail.com  Any takers???????

European cup brands are popping up like mushrooms in autumn. This one appears to be based in Spain:
Naturcup.

They seem to have looked at the Meluna ball stem quite well, and managed to find an interpretation that's... different. Looks nice, though.





Yay for more cups and more options!

Just to let you know that the new LadyCup Lotos colour is now available from Feminine Wear http://www.femininewear.co.uk/ladycup-menstrual-p-410.html

I was part of the group order that fee_parisienne set up through Feminine Wear via schmoomom. Schmoomom sent the cups out on the 6th, and I received my package on the 10th. From Ireland to Las Vegas, Nevada, FOUR DAYS! Amazing. The only reason I'm posting now on the 11th is that my dad ends up getting the mail when he gets home from work around 3:00a, so I had no idea until I woke up today and it was outside my door that it had arrived. :)

I love the softness of the small Lunette I ordered and absolutely can't wait to try to use it. I've been unsuccessful with cups for at least four years, and I'm hoping this will be the cup that enables me to finally convert from pads. I'm so excited to have already received it, well in advance of my next period.

The cup was packaged in a plastic sack with instructions and a storage pouch. Teresa from Feminine Wear included a little notepad (which is awesome because I always write to-do lists), and there are also two little packages of Love Hearts candy.

Thank you all SO much! I really appreciate you all for putting together this order and getting it out to us.

And for those of you who can order from Feminine Wear, it was a great experience even though I personally didn't submit the order.

( Now, a quick comparison! )

Hi green people!
i've heard and read testimonials from mooncup and i am interested in getting a mooncup for myself!
i would like to ask if they have any discount coupons for me so that i can use!
Not sure if i can post this here but if its not allowed, mods, do delete my post!
10s a lot!

For those of you who don't get the mylunette.com newsletter:

Environment Week Oct 11-18

Have you thought about doing something “green” for this week? Need some more wipes, wash, cloth pads?!

To celebrate Environment Week we have sussed out some special offers for you:

- www.mylunette.com have a 10% sale off everything for this week only,

- www.greenchickadee.com.au have free regular postage for sales in Australia when you spend over $20.00 during environment week

- www.radpads.com.au have a couple of pages of “October Specials” that are worth checking out

(I'm assuming "this week" means the week of the 11th (Australian time) here.)

hey all, I'm new here and i'm also AND to the knowledge that cups even exist. which I think is insane as from all the research I've done as they should be widely celebrated lol.

my question (and im sorry if its already been answered, i've spent the last few hours looking through this community for information and i havent found what i'm looking for) is about where to actually get cups in Australia.

my biggest problem is that im a uni student and have a fairly meagre income although i want to invest in a reusable product which benifits me and the environment. ordering online via a credit or visa card isnt an option for me, as I dont have one. ebay might be an option via paypal or bank transfer though. I dont think theres any actually made here (or owned by aussies) but if there is please let me know as i'd love to buy aussie owned/made if at all possible.

so i guess its the general newb questions about where to get them and which one to get... although after my research im thinking of a ladycup (as im partial to green lol and they seem to be fairly decently priced on ebay). I found keepers are available here although I dont want one of them as theres something about the design I dont like. not sure what it is, but something puts me off unlike other brands i've seen pictures of.

and by the way, Melissa ( i think its you, if im wrong, please correct me!)- fantastic youtube vids, very informative, and you very promptly replied to my comment which is much appreciated XD


p.s since im also new to live journal i hope ive posted this right!!

Hello everyone!  I'm looking into getting a cup, and have actually spent about 2 hours poking around the forum learning all kinds of interesting things.  However, I still have a few questions that haven't been answered.  I'm sorry if these have been here before, I just haven't seen the threads!

1. I'm a plus sized woman.  Like a 22W (please don't judge).  I really want to try a cup, but sometimes reaching my vagina to insert a tampon is difficult.  It's easiest for me to do this (and reach my cervix) while squatting down.  Any other BBW have experiences (positive or negative) to help me make my decision?
2. I have a long vagina to begin with (5"6', but my gyno always has to use a long speculum!), and know that a longer cup such as the DivaCup would probably be best, but because I have an IUD, I'd like a cup with a loop as opposed to a stem.  It just seems like a loop would be easier to grasp (given my size), and would put less stress on my IUD and strings.  On a side note, I've only had the IUD for a month, and will probably wait another month or two before using a cup, to make sure I won't use it incorrectly and risk expelling the IUD.  Or maybe just until my super plus tampons run out, who knows!  Anyway, what are the brands of cups that have a loop?
(Paragard users, please feel free to tell me which cup you use, as the flow is supposed to be so much heavier and I don't want to empty all the time!  How often do you empty, and how full is the cup?)
3. WHERE do you empty your cup?  Do you flush the contents and then rinse in the sink?  This might be a silly question, but I work with 3 men, and would hate to clog the sink with my vagina's ex-contents and really gross them out.
4. Has anyone had luck buying a cup on eBay?  I notice they run about $20, is this cheaper than buying in the store?

Again, I'm sorry if these have already been answered.  I appreciate any guidance you can provide!  Thanks!

Hi, I'm interested in buying my first cup, and I'm thinking it'll be a Diva, since there's a shop near my house that sells them, but I was wondering, I'm from Toronto and will be heading there next week(I live in a small town for school), does anyone know anywhere in the city with more options, or should I just try a Diva for my first one?

Also, advice for a first time buyer? I'm totally new to this.

ALSO: I'd like to buy some cloth pantyliners from etsy, can you show me your favourites?

I have gotten to step 5 YEY.  http://community.livejournal.com/menstrual_cups/1243131.html
So anyway here goes the next dilemma, I have no idea how to order online. I have done it before but that is when my parents had a paypal and a credit card. But now i have no way. I decided to get a prepaid credit card like whatever you put on it u get to spend i remember when I was in elementary school and all my friends got credit cards for their birthdays.  So yesterday I went hunting on google, here is what i found-
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070806163129AA3ooMe
So then i went to Acme and they knew what I was talking about and said that they didn't carry them and to go to the bank. So I did that.  I asked the teller how to get one, well my dad did, then she was like what? So i said a PREPAID CREDIT CARD, and she said that they only had gift cards for the bank. I thought that was the same thing, and she asked my dad if he had a bank account and he doesn't anymore.  Anyway i thought you didn't need a bank account.
I was trying not to make this thing a big deal bc i don't think it will work the first time.  Too late.

So please can anyone tell me how else to order a ladycup online. I already found Ladycup's ebay store.  I really want one now that I have gotten this far.

EDIT**
Thank you everyone, my dad called walmart today, they said that its 3 bucks to activate, and 3 bucks monthly.  Great deal if you ask me, and then they send me a new one in the mail that you can charge up with more money anytime you want.

And i still haven't decided what color I want. lol So what color is prettiest in your opinion? I seen the new Lotos color, it's pretty! i gues it is just a dark peach color.

Hi guys!

First of all, I wanted to thank you all for all the advice and encouragement available in this community. I've never needed to actually post here, because the tags are so comprehensive that all my questions have already been answered somewhere.

( Onward to the sales stuff... )

How do I go about getting a Lunette in the US?  I read many reviews and I think this may be the fix to my DivaCup problems.

Hello all! Im placing another Meluna bulk order adn just trying to get it full before I send it out!

The girls got the cups from my first order I placed so they can vouch for my sincerity! ;)

Im asking $17 per cup for US residents, this will include shipping. Ill also ship internationally, just message me to get a quote.

Anyone want to jump on and order a Maluna??? (Theyre super cute btw!)

I have had an email from MeLuna. The large size is now available to order direct from www.meluna.eu - we will be placing an order soon.
It is only available in orange, the other colours will be ready in November. Please bear in mind that MeLuna are closed from 1st - 19th of October so you need to be quick!
