My first time I used it, and I researched it (and other brands) a TON, was difficult. I knew it would be hard, but I underestimated the difficulty. I tried it for two hours, but first tried over 10 times to figure it out, and then decided to take it out after two hours. Taking it out, was apparently, not well instructed because I went into it with not enough information from the company on how to gently remove it. It hurt a ton to take out, suction pulling on my inner walls and on top of that, an uncomfortable fold from trying to take it out. I wasn’t informed enough on removal, or insertion. I gave up that night and waited till morning to try it again. But I remember the stem was uncomfortable so I cut it, which I hoped I wouldn’t have to do but what was I thinking because everyone has had to do it, and I was very cautious in the past when thinking about it because I didn't want it to get lost, but it wouldn’t happen, little did I know that then. So the next morning I gave it a go, and after 5 tries, I got it confidently in. Wore a pad just in case, and it did leak, but that’s expected for beginners because of little experience beforehand. Then AFTER the second day of wearing it, it barely leaked! I’d say it didn’t, but it still had a drop of blood smeared in underwear because idk why. And with the stem short, but was like that for the past two days, I couldn’t feel it at all. I’d have to try hard to feel it. But it was soooo comfortable and just when i thought I couldn’t be happier it completely stopped leaking, my underwear was actually the cleanest ever! So, the only problem was how to remove it not painfully. The same morning that I realized I was truly happy, when my underwear had NO blood on it for the first time, was also the morning I finally solved my removal problems. Because, even though it’s a lot less pain than my first try, I still had a second of pain when removing. Only a second of pain. So I searched online “how to remove menstrual cups pain free” and found out, which was ever stated in the instruction(al video) from Organicup company, that you fold the cup how you fold to put in, in order to get air in (which I knew I needed to do didn’t know how) so you can painfully take it out with suction hurting you. I was so impressed with this removal trick or all along instruction for it that I was unaware of. Pros: •Not hard at all even for teens/beginners. (Just make sure to get more information and experiences and tips from users vs. company, experiences are more relatable than companies. •Great auction •Completely comfortable (can’t feel it at all!) •You don’t worry or remember you are on your period! •For active people too! So easy to do anything with cup in! No leaks—once you get the hand of it (3 days for me). •SAVE EARTH •Healthiest option for you, cleanest also. I feel so happy and healthy and I enjoy my period now that I have this! It’s so FUN to remove and empty and clean and insert this cup, a routine that I DON’T mind at all! •Cheap! Dynamic changes in price, but less than 30 and lasts a decade + or - while saving money from other products. Cons: None! As long as you find the right information and you WILL you’ll get it immediately! Thanks developers/engineers/company! I am completely satisfied! I recommend to every woman EVER! Get this! I SWEAR ON MY DEAD BODY ITS LEGITIMATELY AMAZING IN EVERY WAY! Just be patient (though only 3 days til perfect) and get the right info to figure it out! Save earth and you with this cup!!! LOVE IT!

Finally! A tiny cup that fits! I have been looking for a cup that isn't too long or wide and this was the perfect fit. I literally tried 10 different cups, all the major brands, and they all poked out and felt uncomfortable. This is perfect. Stays in place and I don't feel it. I did cut the "string" off the end, but that was easy peasy. Definitely worth a try if you need a super small cup. Read more
This is my first time using a menstrual cup. I've been a pad user all my life. I liked the idea of being able to reuse a product, because it benefits the environment as well as my wallet! That being said, I was definitely nervous about trying it. I was overwhelmed by the different brand options for cups, but stumbled upon Organicup. It seemed straightforward, and what won me over was its mini size. As a petite person, having a mini option was great. Putting the cup in for the first time was so much easier than I could have ever imagined- I got it on the first try! The fold method that works for me is the punch-down. The Organicup is a softer menstrual cup, so I've never gotten a noticeable "pop" feeling to know that it is successfully in. I just feel around the rim for any folds, then tug on the stem to make sure there's a suction feeling. After that, I'm all done! I have never experienced any leaks. If you're considering making the switch to cups, do it!!! It has been life-changing for me and I can say with confidence I am never going back. The Organicup is a fantastic cup for beginners like myself. Read more
Easy to insert. Less easy to get a suction. I bought the teen size and I do not recommend that if you have a heavier flow—even if you are a teen (which I am). I played myself with the size, but it did convince me to look into menstrual cups more and the impact I could have on the environment with them. Not for everyone, but if they’re for you you've just unlocked a lifetime of savings. The silicon isn’t too hard and it doesn’t hurt to insert. You may find a bit of cramping with first time use though. Read more
I recently started to use menstrual cups and have struggled. I wasn’t sure what was wrong but I think the firmness and the size was it. I had difficulty with removal. And some would put pressure on my bladder or urethra. And sometimes would even prevent me from being able to urinate while it was in place. Also, I have had trouble with some firmer cups not opening and then leaking maybe because they were too big. Just general discomfort and not fitting. This cup has been fantastic. I got the mini. It is soft, which I was worried about at first because I heard that sometimes it doesn’t open all the way and form suction in that case. But for me, it has opened and sealed upon insertion or if not immediately then I feel it set itself within a few minutes and it is just the right size and it doesn’t even feel like it is in there at all. I am very relieved to have found it and would recommend it, especially if you feel discomfort with firmer or regular sized menstrual cups. Read more
I got the size mini. Best purchase ever. I added a picture of how it compares in size to the DivaCup size 1. OrganiCup (mini) is smaller in length and width and it is also much softer/flexible. Definitely recommend. No leaks. No discomfort. Much easier to remove than the Diva. Insertion is always tricky for me, but no more no less than the Diva. Wore it for about 13 hours and did not feel a thing neither did I notice ANY residue. I always had some (but very minor) residue left with the Diva. I may have gotten the wrong Diva size (1) and this may be a better size for me (mini)... however before getting OrganiCup I did a lot of research in regards to size and even Diva size 0 was bigger than the mini OganiCup. OrganiCup is also much softer/flexible, it also has four small holes at the top instead of two... which I wonder if it helps with the suction and the possibility of leakage. Read more
