Femmycylce Low Cervix Version - Revisited

So it's been awhile since I first tried the Femmycycle Low Cervix version. I have to say when I first used it I thought it was a nice cup, but it was just so different from normal reusable cups that I couldn't get the hang of it. 
Well I tried it for an entire cycle and it actually worked with no leaking. I find the C fold or punch down fold works best for me. Then I push on the body of the cup a little so it will sort of open, even though the cup doesn't need to pop open to work. This seems to do the trick for me, but if it doesn't work for you just try different folds until you find one that does. I love this cup now and will be using it regularly mixed with a few of my other cups, because I just can't decide on a favorite. There are times that I feel my cervix is too low for this cup, so I will be using another when this one doesn't work. I'm thinking about saving up for the small/teen version as well. My only complaint is the reaching in to pop the rim out to dump. I like that it's a no spill design, but the rim can get dirty. So make sure you are prepared and cover it a little as I've heard if your flow is heavy it can make a mess once it pops open.

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. 

A special thanks to Femmycycle for sending me these sample cups to review.
