A menstrual cup is form of reusable menstrual protection. It is inserted into the vagina to collect menstrual fluids. Once in place it forms a seal, preventing blood flowing out of the vagina by collecting it in its “cup” shaped reservoir. Unlike a tampon which absorbs the blood along with the vagina’s natural secretions, a menstrual cup simply holds the fluids until you remove it – so they do not dry out the vagina and do not hold the TSS risk that tampons do.
They hold around 20-30ml, which is for most women will cope with a full day without emptying, and at most perhaps you would need to empty it a few times a day for a very heavy flow. A menstrual cup will last (with proper care) for around 10 years, perhaps longer, so while the initial outlay is high, it pays for itself with savings pretty quick.
This website aims to give information on all the available reusable cups, and provide the latest news. This is a sister site to www.ecomenses.com
Hello! I found your comparisons very helpful and got myself a LadyCup. Now I wanted to try the Fleurcup, so I came to your page to see if you had scored it, but I think you probably got it after that rating… If you could give me info about how it feels, it would help me a lot!
Best regards!

hi,
so after reading your comparisons on this website, I decided to buy fleurcup as well. i allready have mooncup, but i was looking for something more easy-cleaning and little bit softer.
it’s shame the company refused to send you a sample, because a lot of people from europe are reading this website as well… anyway, i purchased one and send them an email about how i decided to buy one. so i hope it helps… (but you allready have one, so it doesn’t matter now, but at least i did something:))
I must say – I really do love the Fleurcup! I’m very pleased I got it. I’ve written about it in the comparisons with the others.
Are we (who live in the United States) able to order the fleur cup from their main website? I was looking at it and it looks very confusing.
I had thought maybe I should order from one of the retailers in Britain, but thought I’d see if I can get some direction here as to ordering the fleur cup. (since it is an expense for our budget…I want to make sure I order from somewhere that ships to the United States)
Thanks. I’d like to try this one, but the Lady Cup would be my second choice to try.

ok, I got mine just today, and wow – it´s much nicer feeling silicone than my mooncup. but surprise – less squishy. not that it´s bad, i just somehow expected it to be “softer” since it has no writing on it.
but anyway, i love the stem and everything. my new favorite:D
Not sure Michelle. I know they weren’t shipping Internationally, but I heard they do now.
Michelle, if you haven’t ordered yet… they actualyl do ship to the U.S. I just got mine in California. They don’t send you any confirmation or anything but I got mine a few days after i sent in my order. Pending a test soon!
Hi,
I have lots of cups, also the fleurcup.
I think it’s a great cup and since I have it I haven’t used the Lunette anymore.
If you’re from Europe today is a good day to buy one, it’s only €15,= so a bargain.
Oh the french. I ordered a fleurcup from their super sketchy looking website and had it shipped to the US. Pay pal did the currency conversion. It ended up costing about $35 bucks. I didn’t receive a confirmation from fleurcup, and knowing the French post takes a long time, I waited patiently. It took about 3 weeks. This was my second cup after a diva cup, and this website totally helped me decide. I am happy with the product. I wanted a colored silicone cup that was easier to insert and clean than the diva cup. So totally the way to go for me. Vive la France! Of course it arrived the day after my period ended. So excited to try this out.
