I've used a couple other period cups before, so I'm used to using them, and bought this to have another spare one. I have to say this is the best of the ones that I own. The silicon is very soft and once you work out how to use, is so comfortable! I'm very impressed. I also really like the container it comes with, helps with storage especially with travelling, and makes cleaning in the microwave so super easy. If you're unsure about using a period cup for the first time, I really recommend you give it a go!!! I even went swimming on day 2 of my period and did not leak a single bit! Game changer!!!!!!
