More Cup Photos
People asked me to take some comparison photos of the MeLuna, and since I also got the Yuuki cup since taking photos, I figured I’d go on a bit of a photo spree.

Yuuki Cup Pictures
I received the Yuuki Cup today, so here are some pictures
It comes in a tube!
With instruction sheet. I actually like the tube idea… it’s different and protects the cup from being squashed. Though the packaging makes me think of a sports supplement or something 
The stem is about the same width as the tube stems of other brands of cup, but it is solid. Because the silicone is softer than that of the Mooncup UK or Diva, the stem is more flexible, but not quite as flexible as the thinner tab stems of the Lunette or Miacup.
update - It seems they have now changed to a hollow tube stem
(The cup got a bit of fluff on it, so that’s what the speckles are on the rim, I didn’t realise it would show up I need to take another photo)
The measuring lines and name are on the inside of the cup. Along with a number “1″. There is another line on the inside, where the ridge on other cups pokes out… not sure what that is for… The holes are on an angle, like the Diva’s holes

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.
