Merula Menstrual Cup - Size XL - For Heavy Flow Days

This thing is a lifesaver! I have a insanely heavy flow. I have to wear this plus an overnight maxi pad and still fill up the cup and the pad in 2 hours, but I know that sounds like not a long time, but itis much better than any other cup i have used. I love it!!

Ho provato tanti tipi di coppette, ma ho sempre avuto problemi a causa di un flusso decisamente abbondante. Con l'acquisto di questo prodotto, invece, ho quasi l'impressione di non avere le mestruazioni. Comodo, pratico e graziosissima la bustina per conservare la coppetta. Associato ho acquistato anche il bicchiere per la sterilizzazione, anch'esso pratico e decisamente grazioso.

Die Tasse teste ich jetzt seit zwei Monaten. Sie hält, was sie verspricht: Kann tatsächlich mehrere Stunden sicher getragen werden und sammelt alles auf, was sie sammeln soll. Das Einführen muss man aber tatsächlich ein bisschen üben. Noch mehr das Herausnehmen. Letzteres tut sogar etwas weh, weil die Tasse eine harte Kante hat. Für mich persönlich ist es aber erträglich, so dass keine Sternepunkte hier dafür abgezogen werden. Sagen wir so: Die Tasse kann vor allem denjenigen passen, die auf einer längeren Reise oder beim Arbeiten weit weg von zivilisierten Toiletten auch an den "starken" Tagen aktiv bleiben und bereit sind, dafür ein paar Unbequemlichkeiten pro Tag in Kauf zu nehmen. Ich freue mich jedenfalls, dass ich mich vor dem Kauf noch dutzendmal auf Youtube und Co informiert habe. Trotz aller positiven Rezensionen muss der Kauf so eines hautnahen Gegenstandes gut überlegt sein.

I’ve tried menstrual cups a few times over the years but had always struggled with leaks, no matter what techniques I used. My period is v heavy, and I was getting so fed up with leaks - even when using ultra tampons and thick period pants - that I thought I’d give cups another go. Given my periods are pretty heavy this cup seemed like the right choice. The first month was pretty unsuccessful - it hurt to get in and I experienced lots of leaks. I was pretty disappointed. HOWEVER, I’d say you have to be patient, and persevere with this, and it’ll be worth it. The second month I found a method for insertion that worked for me - basically put it in with the punch fold method, and keep rotating it (sometimes 4-5 times) until you feel the resistance when you pull down on the little ladder handle. I’m now on my 4th month and it only leaks when it’s full, and is comfortable throughout my whole period, even when it’s getting lighter. My next step is to work out how to remove it without too much mess - and I’ve definitely seen an improvement this month. One thing this cup has taught me - I was right… my period is VERY heavy. I easily fill the 50ml cup 3-4 times per day for the first 2 days of my period, which is insane…! As a result I’ve started on iron tablets. My period is now pretty much pain free, eco-sustainable, and I'm coming closer to forgetting it’s happening for the first time since starting my periods (and I’m now 40…!!). Absolutely recommend for anyone who has been disappointed by cups before and has a heavy flow… but don’t expect it to work or go smoothly straightaway.

Llevo mucho tiempo usando copas menstruales talla L porque al tener miomas, sangro muchisimo y el tampax se me queda cortísimo, puedo llegar a llenar una copa en una hora… desconocía de la existencia de esta copa talla XL y menudo descubrimiento! El echo de que cabe más capacidad te hace la vida un poco más fácil en esos días que no puedes llevar una vida normal al sangrar tanto. Es cierto que cuesta al principio pillarle el truco de como ponértela, pero merece la pena ir probando. Si tienes problemas de sangrado abundante mi opinión es que la pruebes.
