Talisi Menstrual Cups - Soft Reusable Period Cup - Menstruation Feminine Hygiene Products with Silicone Collapsible Sterilizing Cup - Regular and Heavy Flow - Large and Small Cup Menstrual

Ok, so I haven't used the Round stem on my cycle yet. I've inserted both and felt the differences.One, the round stem ones are more rigid, like my Diva Cups. They are easy to insert as they pop open more easily and you know they're in correctly and hardly feel them compared to tampons.The regular stem is really soft. You don't feel them at all when they're in (to a point you'll forget you have on on). Along with them being really soft, they are quite a bit harder to insert. They are so soft, they offer no support while inserting, you also don't feel them pop open and have to manipulate it more with your finger to get it to open to form the seal. With that being said, they freaking don't leak. My Diva cup, that's WAY more expensive is super easy to insert, but when I feel a gush, I know I have to run to the bathroom right away as a leak is happening and it's happening NOW. I felt that gush at work with this soft one... yeah, I decided to try it out while I slept, then at work... and I had no leaks. I wasn't even sure I inserted it right when I did it when I slept, and the same right before work. But no leaks. I went to take out the cup and my cup collapsed on me. I didn't think I had much in there and was SHOCKED at how much came out. I cleaned up and re-inserted and when I emptied after my 12h shift, a lot came out, but I had no leaks. I'm still getting used to inserting this soft cup, but so far no leaks. It just holds and holds well. I didn't believe all the rave reviews until now. I do still need to test out the ball one, but I'm kind of wanting to do it for my next period as I have different flow rates at different times of my period and do want to test this one out for the whole cycle to see how it does for the whole week. I have removed it 3 times and have yet to do it right without collapse. I'll try again later and hope for the best, but I'll keep water handy for the inevitable. A bidet would come in handy for sure.I don't feel that suction like I felt with my Diva Cup when removing (like I'm about to pull out my uterus) but it didn't Shift and it didn't leak, not even during a BM while it was full, (looking at you, Diva Cup). While it didn't feel like it's a strong suction like the rigid one, it also doesn't leak for me. It's a lot easier to remove than the rigid one as it's not holding on for dear life... so I'm not rating suction power because it kind of feels irrelevant if it's not leaking like the ones that feel like they hold on more.Edit:I'm nearing the end (the beginning of day 5) and do far, no leaks with this regular stem one. I did get practice on inserting with the Diva Cup, so I did understand how it had to open. I personally used the punch down method because it was smaller and easier to insert. That method is harder to get back open with the more flexible cups, but as I'm used to that method, I'm still sticking with it and making sure it opens up while I'm there. It still takes longer to insert, but so far so good. I've felt like I've leaked or would leak, but nothing so far. I do want to test out the round stem one next as it's more similar to the Diva cup, but maybe a little firmer. As the Diva cup did leak, I'm a little more hesitant to do so without a liner. I guess that's an update for the end of June... if I remember to swap cups. Can't believe such cheap cups do so well.

Having two different sizes has been helpful so that I can switch between them depending on my flow. The only downside is that the sanitizer didn't come with instructions so I had to look up a video on how to use it.

I really didn't think this was going to work! I have pretty bad rectocele and so I thought a soft menstrual cup would collapse/leak and that I would need an expensive brand that was firm or even extra firm and those would probably end up being very uncomfortable. I decided to give these a try because they were the cheapest and came with a sterilizing cup which is like $6 by itself. I thought it probably won't work, but it'll maybe give me an idea on what would work to try next. I was totally wrong! No problems at all, the fit is great I didn't even need to try the large even though I've had 2 kids and have pretty heavy periods. No leakage at all! I didn't even know it was there, and I emptied it way more than I needed to (every 6-8 hrs and before bed) because I was afraid of leaks. Paired this with some Innersy "period panties" (link below) in case of leaks, and I had a very easy, cheap (other than initial cost,) and environmentally friendly period.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07V7SBTZ9/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_STFPMS83K4VM6NR822YR?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Works as expected and easy to figure out. This was my first time using a cup and I was able to get the hang of it pretty quickly. I wouldn’t recommend using the cup alone on heavier days, as it fills up quickly (yes, even the “large” cup). On my lighter days, the cups worked like a charm!

I love these. But this material is softer and takes time to fully pop open. Little uncomfortable until then.
