## Description

Product description Unlike traditional menstrual cups, FemmyCycle’s revolutionary design features a patented no-spill foldable rim and an easy removal ring for comfort. With up to 12 hours of leak-free protection and three sizes for low, small and regular cervixes, the snug fit and light suction offers you more period freedom while helping some with cramping. The cup is medical-grade silicone and is BPA-free with no harsh chemicals, artificial coloring, or toxins. FemmyCycle Sizing Regular - For average or higher than average cervixes, heavier menstrual flows, or women who have given birth. Low Cervix - for lower-than-average cervixes that are within 2" of the vaginal opening. NOT to be used with any degree of prolapse or if your cervix is less than 2" from the vaginal opening. Small - for teens, smaller bodied women, or lighter menstrual flows, who would otherwise use the Regular size. When choosing which size FemmyCycle to order, you need to first determine the distance from the vaginal opening to the cervix. Measure during your period to get the most accurate measurement since the cervix will be at its lowest point at this time in your cycle. Using the wrong size can lead to leaking or discomfort. T o locate your cervix: Squat or stand with one leg elevated and insert your index finger into your vagina as far as you can. The cervix will feel like the tip of your nose and the rest of the vagina will feel more like the inside of your cheek. Regular: If your finger is inserted as far as it will go and you do not feel your cervix or you can just touch your cervix. Low Cervix: If you can ONLY insert your finger to your SECOND knuckle (about 2"). NOTE: Do not use with a very low cervix any lower than your second knuckle (less than 2″) or any degree of prolapse. Small (formerly Petite): Recommended for teens, smaller-bodied women, or those with lighter periods who size for Regular. DOCTOR INVENTED The only menstrual cup on the market designed by a women’s health doctor to accommodate your unique anatomy. Three sizes are available: Low cervix, Small, and Regular for a perfect fit. CUSTOM-FIT WITH COMPLETE COMFORT The patented “wine glass” design with an inner ring forms to your shape, stays put to prevent the cup from being pushed out, and is easy to remove. The cup forms a gentle suction, which can even reduce cramping. (Yes, you read that right!) SAFE PATENTED DESIGN Ditch the old-school feminine products made from single-use plastic and filled with chemicals! FemmyCycle is reusable for up to two years and easy to clean. Made from 100% soft medical grade silicone. BPA-free, with no harsh chemicals or toxins, cruelty-free. Perfect for Teens The FemmyCycle Small cup is 10% smaller than the Regular cup, making it the perfect size for teens. The FemmyCycle Small is great for sports and other activities and can also be worn overnight. Whether you just got your period or have been menstruating for years, the FemmyCycle Small cup is great for first-time menstrual cup users due to its size and design. Great for First Time Cup Users With a "fold, insert, and go" design, the FemmyCycle doesn't require any twisting or popping open to get proper placement. In fact, it's made to remain folded when inserted and still work! Plus, the removal ring makes it easy to get out and comfortable to wear. Better for You, Better for the Community Disposable menstrual products account for thousands of pounds of waste each year. Save your community and save money with the reusable FemmyCycle cup!

Review: Hands down, femmycycle rules them all! - Some background: I am an experienced cup user who has tried several different cups (Lunette 2, lily cup compact B, Saalt cup regular, Lena large, and now femmycycle regular). I have had three natural births. I have a high cervix during my period. I never experienced much of a learning curve since I started using cups. My first cup was a lunette size 2 and I popped it in, it opened, and it did what it was meant to do. Same with the saalt cup and lily compact (although lily compact is harder to seal and get open bc it is a very soft cup). The Lena cup (the regular, not sensitive) caused some bladder and urethra pain. As soon as I’d put it in, I’d get a feeling I’d have to pee, bad, even though I just peed. Then I would try to relieve myself and nothing would come out, or very little. I like the idea of a cup that had a no spill rim (even though I didn’t find cups particularly any more messy than a pad or tampon), and I liked that it didn’t have to be open all the way! With that said... It had been delivered in a timely fashion before I expected it, which was nice considering my period came a whole 5 days early, the day after my cup came. YES!! I was on my toilet trying to insert this thing with my 18 month old screaming about Elmo bandaids. Not a good time. I started with the c fold (or U fold) and the cup literally stayed in that shape inside of me. I did what the instructions said and inserted the cup and as soon as the ring right inside the entrance to my vagina, I let it go. So I removed it and tried the punch down fold. I know the body of the cup doesn’t have to be opened all way to work, but the rim needs to be open. So I tried again and after some maneuvering, I thought it was open. I waited a couple of hours, took a shower and removed the femmycycle, literally nothing was in the cup and it all came pouring out of me after the cup was out. So it wasn’t working. Okay round 2. I usually insert my cups on the toilet, but figured I’d try with one leg on the tub since I was in the shower. Every freaking time the cup just stayed folded in whichever way I inserted it. Didn’t matter what fold, 7-fold, punch down, tulip, c fold. I watched video after video and I did everything that was recommended. Finally I felt the rim pop (or so I thought) and I sat on the couch and watched TV. I went to check for leaks and I didn’t see anything in my period underwear,l but when I wiped I saw some pink, I assumed it was just what was on the walls of my vagina, since that can happen. I went up to bed. I woke up at 12:30 am to a gush (4 hours after insertion) and again, no blood inside the cup at all, not a drop, and blood all over my hands from removal and it all poured out after the cup again (FYI if you have a cup that fits well, and creates a good seal, you should NOT get blood on your hands bc it is all contained in the cup). So I honestly washed the femmycycle, put it away, popped in my Lunette cup and went back to bed. I felt like a failure though. I have made every other cup I’ve tried work with minimal effort. What the heck was I doing wrong? Not to mention I was pissed that the femmycycle is a lot more expensive than other name brand cups. The next day I had the day off so I figured I’d give it another shot. After I dropped the kids off to school and daycare, I went home and watched videos and read and posted on a menstrual cup FB group. I got a lot of advice and tips but honestly, none worked. I tried lube, I tried squaring, I tried laying on the floor, I tried every fold I could think of and even made some up, I tried everything but doing a headstand and bathing in lube (although I was willing to try anything if someone told me it worked). One woman (bless her heart for she is the savior of my femmycycle) told me that she had the same problems and instead of inserting the cup just until it is right inside the vaginal opening, try pushing it up higher. So now I’m on try number 473 and am obviously expecting a failure again, bc obviously my vagina isn’t built for the femmycycle amirite? OMG!!!!! It worked!!! I popped open and I could feel it pop open! I know the body of the cup can be somewhat collapsed so I didn’t worry about that, but the rim was definitely open! I still didn’t trust it completely bc, like I said before, I had thought it was open before and no blood had gotten in the cup. I checked the cup every so often and no leaks! No pink on the paper! No blood on my hands! So I went to bed. When I woke up at 6am the following day my first thought was “I better not feel a gush when I stand” and I didn’t!!!! I skipped to the bathroom, washed my hands, inserted a finger, found the loop, pushed with my pelvic floor muscles (like pooping or giving birth), then when the cup was at the vaginal opening I squeezed the base and removed. Guys!!!! The cup was FULL! It worked!!!! It worked and it was so comfortable. I didn’t feel a thing, I didn’t feel like I had to pee all night and I know a lot of woman say the suction is super strong, but it came out fairly easily for me. I didn’t notice the suction was any stronger than my Lunette cup. So if your having the same issue as me, please try this!! - Punch down fold (use a little lube on the insertion point, I do this sometimes towards the end of my period when things aren’t as naturally lubricated). -Insert as you normally would and hold the cup until it is as high as you can get it. - grab a hold of the removal ring and pull down a little (this should get the rim open). - Push the cup back up. - Done!!! REMOVAL - use whatever position you are comfy with. Some woman like to squat. I highly suggest this if you are like me and have a higher cervix and the cup rides up over night and is difficult to reach. -insert a finger and get it around the loop. Gently walk the cup down while using your muscles to guide the cup down. -when low enough, pinch the base of the cup to break the seal and remove! -Rinse and repeat. I have a pretty average flow and can always go 10-12 hours with this cup, although that is normal for me with any cup. The removal ring is sooo convenient! If you are like me and have a high cervix, the rim is super convenient! The cup body is super soft and comfortable. I don’t feel a thing! Most cups I feel something, even if that something isn’t a big deal. It is awesome that I can insert the cup and not have to make sure it isn’t collapsed. Makes things much quicker in the bathroom. Since learning how to make the femmycycle work for me, I haven’t had any leaks at all and don’t need to use a pantyliner. I will say, even as someone who has experience with cups, this cup is very different and bad its own learning curve and can be a steep one. DON’T GIVE UP! Once you find what works for you, this cup is amazing and so easy to use!!! TL;DR- Femmycycle is amazing although it has its own learning curve. Was about to throw it away and so glad I didn’t!
Review: I'm no expert.... But I AM highly opinionated. I love this. - UPDATE 03/2016 ----- Almost two years in, using this little gem monthly, and I still love it. I would wholeheartedly recommend this to any woman who has a heavy flow, a clotty flow, etc. It has changed my outlook on my 'feminine life' for the better and I am so happy that I found this!!! I just wish it hadn't taken so long to find. Refer to my original review below for more info. UPDATE 06/2015 ------ Roughly six cycles in, I still love this thing! I am pretty close to ordering another just to have on hand. If anyone ever asks me my opinion on menstruation I will wholeheartedly recommend this. See my original review below. ORIGINAL REVIEW 2014 ----- It actually works for me! I am 32. Over the years, since age 13, I've tried pads, tampons, the DivaCup, Instead Softcups, and now this FemmyCycle. For most of my menstruating life, I was happy with tampons. Pads remind me of diapers and cause irritation on my skin and I hate how they feel wet and heavy during use. Tampons were great for a long time until I started taking a look at my overall health, since I've had some issues the past few years. I used to get away with thin regular level tampons, but the past 5 years, my period has become heavier, longer, and more painful. I kept increasing the level of tampon I was using, regardless of brand, so that I now need super plus and more. Even those were at risk of leaking after a couple hours. A stress inducing way to live, let me tell you! Anyone who knows anything about TSS knows your risk of getting a staph infection beginning in your vag increases as your tampon level increases. Scary. I heard about someone my age who died within 2 days after contracting TSS during her period recently. Not to mention all the chemicals used in the production of tampons, etc. I think I absorb, inhale, and consume plenty of man-made chemicals in my daily life without continuing with tampons as another source. I have chronic digestive health struggles that haven't been figured out yet, despite EVERY invasive test on the planet conducted on my guinea pig body over several years. Also the traditional debilitating migraines starting with my period at 13 years old, etc. Now I have endometrial polyps, thickened uterine lining for no discernible reason... Auuughhh! Does it ever end? Thus, I've been experimenting with other menstrual methods. I happened upon menstrual cups and was initially disgusted. However, my adventurous husband thought it would be a hoot to try one out. So I went and bought the only locally available cup I could find: The Diva Cup. I find the name embarrassing, first off. I am the least 'diva' woman to ever walk the planet. I read hundreds of reviews and instructions and tips prior to using, and gave it a go eventually. I thought I did everything correctly, seemed to seal, seemed like a heck of suction when I pulled that thing out, yet it always leaked after 1/4 of the way full. So I guess, despite having to yank with 300 pounds of downward force at removal, that I never did get that elusive seal. I tried that one out for about 4 cycles before deciding it wasn't for me. I actually felt huge relief going back to fairly foolproof and easy tampons. Also, every time I removed it, it hurt because the rigid rim would pull out popping open. I know you can fit a baby through the vaginal canal, but I never have, and I don't often stretch mine out, so this was painful to me every time. Next, while at Walgreens, came across Instead Softcups. I actually do like these, however I can't stand the blood bath mystery murder scene at removal time. These sit up under your cervix and catch the blood as it falls. I didn't have leaks with these and they seemed pretty simple to use. What I didn't like is having to stick my digits so far up my canal to pull them out. I don't know about anyone else, but my entire vagina seems to be sensitive and bruises easily from fingers digging around up there. I don't like it. Even after getting my finger under the rim and pulling the cup out, which is painless, the blood would SHOOT forth instantaneously and splatter all over my hand and the front of the toilet bowl, sometimes onto the seat in front of me. I never did figure out how to gracefully remove those. Eventually I began carrying non latex disposable gloves around in my purse to use while removing, and that helps a TON! Avoid messy hands altogether. One thing that is a shocker, though, is the smell of your reproductive waste. A cup of blood sitting around has a smell, no matter what anyone says. And no, I have been tested and do not have BV or a yeast infection. Blood itself... smells. And the people who go into the confined bathroom after you can smell it lingering on occasion, too. Oddly, I only experienced the "It smells like blood in here" scent with the Instead cups... So my latest endeavor has been with the FemmyCycle. I was interested in this one because it said it was leak-proof and other reviewers said it was softer than the Diva Cup, so maybe it would be less harsh to remove for me. This is my first cycle using it. My period is very heavy the first 2 days. Like a couple ounces a day, easily. Then it nearly drops off completely with a small trickle now and then for the next 3 days. I have LOVED this so far. It doesn't form a seal and pop open inside your body like the Diva Cup needs to... instead the design causes the reproductive shed-off to get sucked into it. This has worked surprisingly well! No leaks at all, used it all night and despite it being extremely full in the morning, it did not leak. It is a bit of a mess pulling a cup of blood out of your vag, but it's bearable. I use a finger covered in toilet paper to open the ridge and dump it in the toilet, then clean it off in the sink before reinserting it. Insertion has been been very simple, much easier than the Diva, and removal is easier, too. I LOVE the ring pull on the bottom of this cup. It makes it so much easier for me to get it down low enough to grab. It does have a tendency to try to pop open once it's exiting the vaginal canal, but the material is not as stiff as the Diva so it hurts me less when that happens. So, over all - the capacity of the regular size seems quite large, it is a softer material than some other cups, it is leak proof, it does not require hemming and hawing over a 'seal,' and I can wear it 5+ hours before emptying, even on my heavy days. I do still use a panty liner just in case. To put it simply, in order of my favorite for reasons varying between ease of use, overall effectiveness, and paranoid health concerns, I rank them this way (1 is the best.): 1) FemmyCycle 2) Instead Softcup 3) Tampons 4) Pads and Diva Cup tie

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What makes this specialized for teens? Is it smaller?**
A: It's smaller.  Note, I am NOT a teen.  I'm an extremely petite adult that hasn't had any children, and the teen size was the only one that fit me.  The regular and low cervix were way too wide.

**Q: Where is this product being shipped from.**
A: The product is manufactured, packaged and shipped from California.

**Q: What if your cervix moves throughout the length of your period? Will this effect the product? Ex: Leaking**
A: BEWARE This can suction to your cervix & cause extreme pain and difficulty in removal. Read through the 1 star reviews for more information. It caused my cervix to prolapse & was very painful to remove. (I'm not an alarmist by nature & have over a decade of experience with menstrual cups!) It was a horrible experience.

**Q: what am I doing wrong? first time using, it flipped upside down. then this morning I woke up soaked in blood with the cup in and right side up.**
A: 1. INSERT; 2. GRIP+TUG; 3. PUSH UP (above pubic bone)To insert:  I do a 'punch down fold' (creates narrowest point) and then I hold it right below the ring. Once inserted, I do an internal "kegal" grip on it while tugging on the handle to elongate it. This forces the ring to open up around the cervix. Once I let go the ring is open and the bulb is 'suctioned' and slightly inverted at the base. I run my finger around the edge of the ring to make sure my cervix is inside. I push up to make sure the cup is past my pubic bone. Finally: I do another kegal to nestle it..... I struggled with leaking too until I gripped and tugged on the cup.To remove: bare down a bit and while tugging on the cup, sway gently from side to side if the cup is under a lot of suction. You'll get the hang of it! I could forget I have my period if it weren't for my cramps!

I just wish it hadn't taken so long to find. Refer to my original review below for more info. UPDATE 06/2015 ------ Roughly six cycles in, I still love this thing! I am pretty close to ordering another just to have on hand. If anyone ever asks me my opinion on menstruation I will wholeheartedly recommend this. See my original review below. ORIGINAL REVIEW 2014 ----- It actually works for me! I am 32. Over the years, since age 13, I've tried pads, tampons, the DivaCup, Instead Softcups, and now this FemmyCycle. For most of my menstruating life, I was happy with tampons. Pads remind me of diapers and cause irritation on my skin and I hate how they feel wet and heavy during use. Tampons were great for a long time until I started taking a look at my overall health, since I've had some issues the past few years. I used to get away with thin regular level tampons, but the past 5 years, my period has become heavier, longer, and more painful. I kept increasing the level of tampon I was using, regardless of brand, so that I now need super plus and more. Even those were at risk of leaking after a couple hours. A stress inducing way to live, let me tell you! Anyone who knows anything about TSS knows your risk of getting a staph infection beginning in your vag increases as your tampon level increases. Scary. I heard about someone my age who died within 2 days after contracting TSS during her period recently. Not to mention all the chemicals used in the production of tampons, etc. I think I absorb, inhale, and consume plenty of man-made chemicals in my daily life without continuing with tampons as another source. I have chronic digestive health struggles that haven't been figured out yet, despite EVERY invasive test on the planet conducted on my guinea pig body over several years. Also the traditional debilitating migraines starting with my period at 13 years old, etc. Now I have endometrial polyps, thickened uterine lining for no discernible reason... Auuughhh! Does it ever end? Thus, I've been experimenting with other menstrual methods. I happened upon menstrual cups and was initially disgusted. However, my adventurous husband thought it would be a hoot to try one out. So I went and bought the only locally available cup I could find: The Diva Cup. I find the name embarrassing, first off. I am the least 'diva' woman to ever walk the planet. I read hundreds of reviews and instructions and tips prior to using, and gave it a go eventually. I thought I did everything correctly, seemed to seal, seemed like a heck of suction when I pulled that thing out, yet it always leaked after 1/4 of the way full. So I guess, despite having to yank with 300 pounds of downward force at removal, that I never did get that elusive seal. I tried that one out for about 4 cycles before deciding it wasn't for me. I actually felt huge relief going back to fairly foolproof and easy tampons. Also, every time I removed it, it hurt because the rigid rim would pull out popping open. I know you can fit a baby through the vaginal canal, but I never have, and I don't often stretch mine out, so this was painful to me every time. Next, while at Walgreens, came across Instead Softcups. I actually do like these, however I can't stand the blood bath mystery murder scene at removal time. These sit up under your cervix and catch the blood as it falls. I didn't have leaks with these and they seemed pretty simple to use. What I didn't like is having to stick my digits so far up my canal to pull them out. I don't know about anyone else, but my entire vagina seems to be sensitive and bruises easily from fingers digging around up there. I don't like it. Even after getting my finger under the rim and pulling the cup out, which is painless, the blood would SHOOT forth instantaneously and splatter all over my hand and the front of the toilet bowl, sometimes onto the seat in front of me. I never did figure out how to gracefully remove those. Eventually I began carrying non latex disposable gloves around in my purse to use while removing, and that helps a TON! Avoid messy hands altogether. One thing that is a shocker, though, is the smell of your reproductive waste. A cup of blood sitting around has a smell, no matter what anyone says. And no, I have been tested and do not have BV or a yeast infection. Blood itself... smells. And the people who go into the confined bathroom after you can smell it lingering on occasion, too. Oddly, I only experienced the "It smells like blood in here" scent with the Instead cups... So my latest endeavor has been with the FemmyCycle. I was interested in this one because it said it was leak-proof and other reviewers said it was softer than the Diva Cup, so maybe it would be less harsh to remove for me. This is my first cycle using it. My period is very heavy the first 2 days. Like a couple ounces a day, easily. Then it nearly drops off completely with a small trickle now and then for the next 3 days. I have LOVED this so far. It doesn't form a seal and pop open inside your body like the Diva Cup needs to... instead the design causes the reproductive shed-off to get sucked into it. This has worked surprisingly well! No leaks at all, used it all night and despite it being extremely full in the morning, it did not leak. It is a bit of a mess pulling a cup of blood out of your vag, but it's bearable. I use a finger covered in toilet paper to open the ridge and dump it in the toilet, then clean it off in the sink before reinserting it. Insertion has been been very simple, much easier than the Diva, and removal is easier, too. I LOVE the ring pull on the bottom of this cup. It makes it so much easier for me to get it down low enough to grab. It does have a tendency to try to pop open once it's exiting the vaginal canal, but the material is not as stiff as the Diva so it hurts me less when that happens. So, over all - the capacity of the regular size seems quite large, it is a softer material than some other cups, it is leak proof, it does not require hemming and hawing over a 'seal,' and I can wear it 5+ hours before emptying, even on my heavy days. I do still use a panty liner just in case. To put it simply, in order of my favorite for reasons varying between ease of use, overall effectiveness, and paranoid health concerns, I rank them this way (1 is the best.): 1) FemmyCycle 2) Instead Softcup 3) Tampons 4) Pads and Diva Cup tie

### ⭐⭐⭐ Does a good job, but if you can handle open menstrual cups, save yourself the $$ and buy a cheaper one
*by S***K on November 19, 2015*

I owned the Femme Cup for over 5 years (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Femmecup-FEM001-Menstrual-Reusable-Cup/dp/B00198771W) which I purchased from Amazon.co.uk because at the time I was living in Greece and the Femme Cup was the only menstrual cup that would ship to Greece, so that's how I decided which menstrual cup to buy. Recently the Femme Cup has been leaking, so I knew we'd come to the end of our great, 5 year run. Super sad face! Sob!! Best £16 I ever spent!!!! Jumping online to buy a replacement I fell down the rabbit hole of menstrual cups--although I straight away ruled out the Kickstarter "smart" menstrual cup that sends you text alerts about your flow and what have you--only "dumb" old fashioned menstrual cups for me. Nonetheless the market for analog cups is pretty huge, but the FemmyCycle cup stood out with its leakproof lip and its high price (and also the fact that it's sold in 2 packs--wth?!?). So now for my review, in light of the fact that I've only ever used one other type of menstrual cup: The ring to extract the Femmy cup is awesome. I don't think I would be able to remove the Femmy cup without this feature. The leakproof lip is pretty handy, but I guess I hadn't realized I had a good technique for removing the Femme cup, meaning that I don't think the Femmy cup is sooooo much cleaner and less messy than using an open menstrual cup that it's worth paying $40 for a leakproof cup. The material of the Femmy cup is noticeably thinner and more flexible, but the thickness of the lip makes the Femmy cup definitely LESS comfortable to insert/remove than the Femme cup, once I had broken in the Femme cup (after the first week of use). Another negative: With the Femme cup, as the cup would fill it would migrate downwards, so I had a good idea of when it was full. With the Femmy cup, it stays up there, so I have to make an effort to check up on it. Also, let me repeat, the Femmy cup is flat out more uncomfortable to insert and remove. I should add that I've had 0 leaks with the Femmy cup, which of course is fantastic. Thanks to my Femme cup I've become accustomed to wearing white pants at any time, and I have no intention of changing my style habits now, so I'm glad Femmy cup is offering me this support too. Basically if you are comfortable using menstrual cups, then this puppy isn't really worth paying the extra $$ for. Don't get me wrong; it does a good job, but it's not spectacular (maybe I should have gotten the "smart" cup...gah). I am totally interested to see if the Femmy cup lasts for 5 years like my Femme Cup. If it does, I will update this review in 2020, so stand by. *****update: 1 year later****** I've knocked this down to 3 stars. Gosh darn it, I'm buying my old Femme cup again. The FemmyCycle will leak a tad bit (having said that, I do feel comfortable wearing white linen pants even on my period), I don't like how the FemmyCycle cup stays deep up there even if it's full, cause I have to dig around to get it, it is still super uncomfortable to remove, when you open the lid to pour out the cup, it kind of splashes (gahhh), and, well, here's the worst part: it...uh...has a smell that I never experienced with the Femme cup. I have scrupulously checked my vaginal health, if you know what I mean, and it just seems to be a smell of the cup while it is inside me for a week. Which of course is embarrassing and disconcerting. Oh, and cleaning this thing is annoying because of the interior folds. I use hydrogen peroxide and water, and you really have to get in there and clean it with your fingernails in of the creases. I've given the full 12 month test. I don't like it, and want my Femme Cup back!
