Pros: comfortable once in.
insertion sleeker than tampon insertion.
Stays put.
Doesn't leak.
Cons: The cup is crinkly.
Instructions not handy.
Very messy removal.
Summary: This is the second time I've tried this product. I keep thinking that something has to be better than tampons and pads. Especially since I tend to be ultra heavy on one of my days and neither one works for very long. I decided to try these on my heaviest ...

Pros: Can have sex, extends tampon wearability
Cons: leaks, messy to remove
Summary: This is a great product I will continue to use, but it is not a replacement for tampons.Unfortunately, Instead is leaky -- and when it leaks, it doesn't leak like a tampon, only letting out a dribble of excess fluid, but rather spills the ENTIRE ...

Pros: - Plan a lower maint day -Safer than tampon -Cleaner with disposable gloves
Cons: -Can be messy without latex gloves -Takes getting used to
Summary: I want to offer some pointers to use this product and my experience. I do want to say that if you have the softcup in correctly it doesn't feel insecure like it will fall out, nor does it leak. 1. Feel. I have really heavy flows ...

Summary: To be perfectly honest, the only reason I bought this product was because I wanted to have clean sex while on my period. My boyfriend and I have been dating for over a year, and since he lives over 100 miles away, and I dont ever see him but ...

Pros: Convenient, comfortable, eco-friendly. NO MORE WET STRINGS!
Cons: Removal is messy and can initially (before you get the hang of it) be time-consuming.
Summary: I've known about mentstrual cups for a while but stayed away (they looked like they'd be so uncomfortable and awkward to insert/remove) until a friend couldn't stop RAVING about the Instead. So I tried it. And I LOVE IT. It took me a couple of tries to ...

Pros: Insertion and removal was quick and painless and you can't feel its there
Cons: None except for the fact that they should be advertised more.
Summary: So i was searching the web for a feminine product that would let me engage in sexual intercourse during that time of month. Also, i have used pads all my life and so i'm used to them but it is inconveinent to have to change them every few hours. I did ...

Pros: No more ruined romantic vacations or embarrassing tampons!!!!
Cons: Very messy, must handle with precision and care.
Summary: This product is wonderful. As advertised you will have to get the hang of it and yes it feels strange at first for it is a rather large object (even for a mother of two). The plastic is pliable but it is still a bit hard on the very soft areas. ...

Cons: annoying/messy to change, and i don't know yet
Summary: I just bought the Instead softcup and tried it for the first time today. I was getting sick of tampons and wanted to be able to have sex during this inconvenient period of time (pun intended;). I love how Instead lasts longer (up to 12 hours) than ...

Pros: Easy insertion/ removal, price is good for quality, no odors, comfortable, sex while inserted
Cons: Hard to find in stores
Summary: My friend steered me to this product when I used to complain about regular tampons not being enough and super being too thick. I swear this is the best thing for that time of the month. Even on my heaviest day I could go the full 12 hours with a pad ...

Pros: longer wear
Cons: none yet!
Summary: i have been using softcup for about 6 months now. I find it allows me to function normally while on my period, which tampons that have to be replaced every couple of hours just didn't do. I also think its a great way to "go green". We ...

Pros: Long wear, comfortable
Cons: Messy
Summary: I love, love, love these cups. Think Elaine in the Seinfeld episode with the Today sponge. I would definitely stockpile these if there was any possibility of discontinuation. I have rarely experienced leaks while wearing Instead. As long as I've ...

Pros: Can't feel it.
Cons: Messy removal.
Summary: I decided to try Instead because I recently have been having heavier periods and didn't want to be always changing pads or tampons. (I was soaking through a tampon with a pad in 2 hours on my heavy days) Plus I really like the idea of not filling up the ...
