OrganiCup

OrganiCup customer service is so nice to work with, I would definitely recommend working with them. I got the OrganiCup in the small size. It is made of silicone, and has 4 air holes near the rim. The cup itself is very soft, but the rim is a little firmer to make it easier to pop open. I didn't have any trouble getting it to pop open. The stem has good grip rings on it and is very stretchy, as well as the bottom of the cup. The stem didn't bother me at all without trimming it, although it can be trimmed if you find that it bothers you. Once the cup was in I couldn't feel it, which I love about it. I had no issues with leaking, which was nice. I think this cup is good option for women who like soft cups. Overall I really love this cup, and I will be using it for a very long time. 

A special thanks to OrganiCup for sending me this sample cup to review.

Bella Cup

I decided on the Bella Cup small. The Bella company is so nice to work with and it ended up shipping to me faster than I expected. I highly recommend this company.

The cup itself is very soft and comfortable to wear, I didn't even notice it was there. The only part that bothered me was the stem being too long, but I think a little trim will fix the problem. It popped open easily for me. The grip on the cup itself isn't very grippy, but the stem is.  That could end up being a problem for those that need grips on the cup or are inexperienced. I don't need them and had no problem pinching the cup to remove it. The length was perfect for me. It's also very easy to clean as there isn't much writing on the cup to make it difficult. Overall I'm very happy with the cup, and will continue to use it.

Femmycycle


The new Femmycycle designs are nice. The low cervix and regular style are the same size, the only difference is the stem. The cup is made of a nice smooth silicone and the stem is very flexible. Getting it in and out was easy, but it takes some getting used to as this style of cup is different than any other cup. It was a little different because the cup stays folded inside you (when other cups open up). However it was comfortable and I couldn't feel it once it was in.
Overall the cups are very nice, I would just recommend practicing different folds and wearing a panty liner as backup until you get the hang of it.
