Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have finally gained confidence on my two very heavy days. In my job, a break is not possible for 3 hours or longer, so EXTREME leaks" were always a concern. I used to keep super-plus tampons in my house, my car, my purse, my laptop case, my work cubicle, my suitcase, etc. I never had enough. The most embarrassing was having to go the bathroom several times on a flight from San Fran to Hawaii, then having to keep a tampon close for 2 days while in a swimming suit. NEVER AGAIN!

I love the Soft Cup. I by no means want to go back to using tampons. However, I have a titled uterus and I have not been able to take the Soft Cup out by myself. Each attempt has been unsucessful. This is my second month using Soft Cup. I sure wish I could remove the cup by myself; because my hubby is tried to removing the cup for me. I love it and don't want to return to tampons.

LOVE THE CUP!!! the only problem is i do have a hymroid and when i poot it slips a little and when i sneeze ETC. but i do not do that every hour LOL that i have to change a tampon and my pad I have to use tampon (super plus) and pad (heavy) ever since i was 13 it was embarssing and now alls i have id soft cup and panty liner for my (sneezing fits) and we are all good thanks soft cup!

I am getting married on may 5, 2012. I started my cycle today which means I will start again next month again on or within a day or two of my wedding day so my biggest concern was not being able to be intimate on my wedding night and while on my honeymoon. I was told to get a birth control shot which will stop my period but may throw off my cycle and cause me to start during that time anyway. I went to walgreens to buy tamponds and ran across softcup and I am sooo happy now! Softcup saved my wedding day!!! Yeeeaaa...Thanks goes out to the inventer!

Love them , love them , love them !!!!! Using them for the very 1at time today. Out with the old, in with the new new( SOFTCUP) !!!!!!

I use softcup since November and love them!!! Proud to be part of a growing family

This is my first time using softcups and i love them!! Longer wear with no leaks and you can't feel them at all. Removal is a little tricky. You have to push a little so that the cup comes forward, but do not push and try to take it out at the same time!! That is very messy!! But even with that, its still before than tampons or pads. I use to feel sick if I kept a tampon in to long and pads feel like diapers at a few hours! This is definitely something that everyone should try.

I started usinq Softcups for the first time last month & I absolutely LOVE them ! Yes ,, startinq off as far as takinq them out can be a little messy ,, but I cauqht on very quickly as far as the insert/takinq out of the cup. Its so quick and easy now ,, and I can not even feel when I have one in :) ALSO me and my boyfriend experimented" with me havinq a softcup in and he and I were EXTREMELY pleased ! I LOVE YOU SOFTCUP :)

okay i feel lied to or else I'm doing it so wrong. it's only holding as long as a normal tampon would. I'm depressed i thought I found something that would change my life lol any help? It would be much appreciated. It gets so old having to use like a super plus and changing every hour. Help!!!! Maybe I'm terrible at putting them in lol its my first time

After sex, should you remove the soft cup and insert a new one forHygiene reasons? Love them!

Today I used it for the first time and it was very very difficult for me to remove. I am 18 and have been using tampons since I was 14 and those haave never caused me any problems. I don't think this product is good for everyone especially not me but it could be very great for other women because it does not leak and it is very comfortable when in use. However, I believe you must be very comfortable when you want to take it out for the first time because it is a very unusual feeling. I also suggest trying to take it out after about 4 hours and definitely do not stretch it to the maximum time of 12 hours because that is what I did when I was very stressed about getting an infection because I was afraid I would surpass the maximum time.

I think it's a great idea and love them!! Did anyone feel any cramping the first time using them? Kinda feels like period cramps but started as soon as I inserted it??

I love this! I cannot wear tampons without extreme discomfort and during the summer no one wants to sit out at the pool because of their period. Soft cup is so comfortable! I hardly know it's there. The removal process can be messy but I tend to use a disposable latex glove to remove mine and the mess is very minimal. I would reccomend this product to anyone really.

this thing completely ruined my life! it cut my vaginal wall and i had to go to the hospital to get it removed. talk about embarrassing. And it was a smokin' hot male doctor.WTF!!!! FML!! SOOOOOO going back to tampons.

Im 15 years old and I hate my period ! Its hevy and im never comfertable going out places and when I use tampons im always worrying about how long there gonna last . So I am useing softcup for the first time right now !im reall amazed on how this thing works ! But im nervouse about the removing part .

I was hoping for a good experience and it has been just AWFUL! They are extremely uncomfortable and messy to insert. I get cramps and sick to my stomach after insertion and removal. The removal is disgustingly messy and impractical. I did not have any leaks but all the other factors don't make it worth it to me.I have no idea why these other women feel so comfy with something so impractical in so many ways. I certainly would not have sex with that thing in.

i just tried softcup and i am haven a heck of a time getting it in. i finally think i have it in after about 5 tries its been a hour now and i feel so much freedom im 46 and im real tired of leaking and messing my bed on my heavy days TY TY TY for inventing such a wonderful tool. you ROCK

I know of the 12 hour limit, and is there a reason for that? Can it cause problems or has it just not been tested past that? Id feel much more comfortable buying it if i knew what the risks were for going over 12 hours. I dont like being caught by surprise.Thx

This is going to sound crazy, but I have very short fingers and am not sure I can insert and remove Softcup with ease. Are there any insertion or removal tools available?

Very comfortable when wearing softcup. But removing it scared me to death took me 30 min and I freaked out on my husband. I thought I had found something that was my life saver but now after taking it out it has left a very uncomfortable feeling. Glad I had my wonderful husband there for support or I probably would have went to the hospital. May be nice for some people but now all im experiencing is pain after removing it. :-(

I started my period yesterday and I was excited to try these out. I'm 18 and I'm not too sure if I'm inserting them correctly. I've been cramping so it's hard to tell the difference between a cramp and feeling the soft cup. When my cramps died down I didn't really feel it and had no leaks. However, I just woke up in the middle of the night with a feeling that I had something or I felt the soft cup in my vagina. I went to the bathroom to try to adjust it and some how it managed to slip out and slide all the way down til it was almost peaking out. Luckily there were no leaks or mess in my pants but a heck of a mess in my toilet, but I put another in and hope it's in right. I push it all the way back and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong with inserting because I'm sure slipping like that is not supposed to happen. I hope I can master the technique of insertion and removal because I really do enjoy soft cup and all it's benefits. Hopefully I'll figure it out and prevent another slipping.

My good friend gave me 2 to try and I've had them for weeks. I afraid to try it. I was worried about pain, improper insertion, not being able to get it out, etc. Then I ran out of tamps. I have to use super plus as my flow is very heavy. I must have stared at my SoftCup for an hour before I decided to put it on/in. I have a new best friend! I was so amazed at how liberated I felt I even told all my coworkers and put it on facebook. I ordered a 24 pack and I feel excited about getting them in the mail like its a new piece of jewelry! Lol Thank you for giving us a better alternative. I swear I think my tampons were making my cramps worse. Since I've been using SoftCup my cramps have diminished greatly.

Trying soft cups for the first time today! I got it in so I'll wait and see how it goes!

I love softcups, I'm only 14 but they're amazing, no leakage my first night and they are super easy to insert and remove thanks so much!!

I really wanna try soft cups but I'm so scared!!

Softcups are great! Messy to remove--I don't care if you come up with a special way to remove it, it's still got a gross out" factor when taking it out. I've been dealing with infertility and recently read women using them to get pregnant (not the intended, or even recommended purpose from what I can find). This is initially why I bought them. My husband & I tried them this way last month before I even used them for my period and we liked them.Anyways, I'm currently on Day 2 of my period which is always the worst day and I have little to no cramps. I'm not sure what That's about, but I'll take it! I find tampons easier to insert (took a few tries with Softcups), but I've also read tampons--specifically chemicals like dioxin in tampons--are thought to be related to endometriosis and other problems. Considering I'm dealing with infertility, I decided to switch to Softcups. Though it's very messy to remove and they're a bit pricier than tampons and pads, I don't think I'll ever go back to tampons.

Okay, so I put it in without a problem. It was a little uncomfortable for 3-4 minutes but I didn't even feel it after that! I had it in for 3 hours when I felt a little leak. (I was running down a flight of stairs, but I've NEVER had a tampon leak unless it was overly full, so I was a little annoyed.) I went down to the bathroom and sat on the toilet to try and pull it out. I couldn't. Then I started to stress because I started imagining having to tell my friends parents that I needed to go to the ER because I got a Soft Cup stuck in my vagina. I decided it wasn't going to happen and I crouched down, my butt almost touching my heels.TMI here, but blood started coming out and I had to sit back on the toilet. It had moved back up, so I just got in the shower and started running it. I did the same thing, and had to put my pointer finer upside down to grab it. When I finally got it a little, it was fine. But it took me a good 20 minutes and I was near tears. I saw a review where someone had cut their vagina open with their nails and I was paranoid.it's a lot like a contact lens (at least for me.) Easy to put in, hard to take out, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. Not sure if it's worth it to put in, though. Same as contacts.I wish there were a way to tell when it was full, or OPTIONAL strings to pull it out. Because my vagina still kinda hurts. Haha.Overall, probably worth it for special occasions or to go swimming comfortably. Everyday, though? I'm not too sure.Also, they should make them reusable at least for one cycle. they're definitely durable enough for it. I'm probably going to try that next.

I have plans to have sex with the guy I have been waiting for for nearly a year tomorrow and I just got my period. Are soft cups safe to have sex with? Or will it just be a bloody mess?
