I’m a tampon kind of lady. Well, I was until I read up on menstrual cups. Not sure how I came across them, but somewhere in my prep to be an international lady of leisure, I heard about them. When I’d gone to El Salvador and Jamaica back in 2010, I’d just packed a ton of multipack tampons. This time around, I don’t have that kind of space in my pack. So I went to my friend YouTube to see how women were responding to the cups and what brands were out and so forth.
I decided on the LENA Menstrual Cup. And to be honest, it was a toss up. I had no idea how to shop for a cup. After lots of research, I decided to look at the size, stiffness, and ease of grip.
LENA has two sizes, is pretty firm, but has a nice amount of give when folded, and has excellent grip-ability.
Not gonna lie, it was strange the first time I used it. But most things are. I got mine in November so I could try it out a couple of months before I’d be out in the world. And I love it!
- I don’t notice it whatsoever when wearing it.
- It’s easy to clean with a mild soap.
- It helps me to understand my body more.
- It gives me one less thing to buy while on the road.
- It fits in perfectly with my on-the-move lifestyle in terms of it being easy to wear, store, and taking up almost no space.
Have you been curious about menstrual cups or other alternatives for your monthly period?
