Intimina Lily Cup Size B: Reusable Menstrual Period Protection

I've tried two other types of cups with various success, but ultimately kept looking for the cup that best suited my needs. I've finally found it! Out of the three it is by far the easiest to insert (which I didn't expect because it's quite soft for a menstrual cup). I didn't need any practice or adjustment period, as I have with the other two cups. Very easy to use and I've had no accidents whatsoever. More importantly however, it has also been the easiest cup to remove (which has been my main issue with the other cups I've owned). Appearantly, my cervix is rather high and I've had problems reaching/removing the other cups in the past, making my feel anxious about using them... But the lily cup fits me perfectly. I can reach the stem quite easily, and at the same time the stem is not too long and in the way. That would also be my advice to others: Keep your height in mind as well, when you choose a cup. The manufacturers only tell you to choose cup size depending on your age and if you have had any children or not. My theory is that height matters as well. But please keep in mind it is just a theory. But for those of you reading this review and who may have experienced problems reaching your previous cups, this works for me and I'm 1,75. Another customer left a review stating the cup "was huge" and I almost didn't buy a lily cup based on that review. I'm glad I did though - I find the cup itself is no bigger than other size 2 cups. It's longer and in a different shape, but not bigger and not huge. Only slight disadvantage: the "collar" on top makes it a bit of a hassle to clean, but it is my understanding that it is also the collar that keeps it so safe from accidents. So I can definitely live with that!

I bought this after a while of using the mooncup for a while, since the mooncup was too stiff for me. The mooncup made my cramps worse and made peeing difficult (TMI I know, but I want to give a good review for those who have the same issues). I also struggled with getting the mooncup out sometimes and it’d take a bit of time to get it out and end up hurting myself. Compared to the mooncup, the lily cup looks much longer which worried me, but because of the shape it has it actually fits just fine. I had to trim a little bit of the stem (same with the mooncup) but after that I didn’t have any issues. It’s considerably softer, so I stopped having issues with cramping or going to the toilet. It also doesn’t have a thick portruding rim at the top which I think contributed to the issues I had with cramps and peeing. The top is still firm enough compared to the rest of it, so it also opens easily once you have put it on, so it doesn’t leak. Because of the shape being shorter at the front, I found that it made it miles easier to slide and break the seal when emptying it. Since the silicone is much softer too, but the base is firm it makes it really easy to pinch and grip in order to slide it off and breaking the seal. I wouldn’t say I am a very experienced menstrual cup user, but all in all I found that this one eliminated most of the issues I’ve previously had and it was very easy to get used to. I was comfortable with using it within a couple times of putting it on and taking it out. Every vagina will have different necessities in terms of menstrual cups unfortunately so it won’t work for every single person, but if the issues I had before sound familiar, this cup is 100% worth a shot, I’m super happy with it!

Waited a bit to write this review - I like the material of this cup, very soft and easier to fold than the mooncup, the shape suits me better but it does take a bit of effort to get it to seal properly, I’ve had two leaks because of this but I guess it just takes getting used to. I do prefer using this cup and cups in general, eases cramping and can be left in longer, more comfortable than tampons and pass when in correctly and I don’t have any odour from them. Gave 3 stars for ease of use, like I said takes a bit of practice and the first time I was out when the seal failed, wasn’t pleasant and you need a clean toilet to at least try and reinsert it which I didn’t have access to so it was quiet disgusting and unsanitary to get it back in but got there in the end. Takes a bit of practice to get insertion and removal right but once you do you’ll never look back, would definitely recommend and will be using from now on, great product, just practice using and bring other sanitary items when out and about until confident using

I love the idea of this product. It looks great, it's made of lovely soft silicone and had great reviews - especially for women like me with a very high cervix. Unfortunately, I just didn't get on with it. For starters, the dipped bit at the front makes it really hard to insert. A lot of folds don't work well with this shape and those that do require the 'back' bit of the cup to be a long way in before you can release the front of the cup. The first few times of using it, I just couldn't get the hang of that and ot kept popping open before it was in. I tried rolling the cup - which is something that cannot be done with most cups - but failed to get it in. There's a reason there are so many folds out there; every woman has a preference. So anyone saying "you have to roll it" is somewhat missing the point. Once it was in it is very, very difficult to get it open. Most cups are quite firm and so you can feel them pop inside. This one is very soft, and so it's very difficult to not only get it to open, but also to feel if it is. As there's no 'rim' it's also difficult to feel around the top to check the seal. On the few occasions I did get it to open, it was great. The no-spill top is fantastic, and it's relatively easy to remove. The capacity is good and it's very comfortable. I love that it's longer than most cups and so there's very little risk of it creeping up so high that it's hard to get it out. All in all, it's clearly a well thought out design and I wanted to like it a lot. Unfortunately it just wasn't right for me and my body. I will try it again - I'd love tips on how to get this particular cup to open (I tried all the usual tricks) but I just don't think we're compatible.

I have always liked the idea of a menstrual cup and find them very convenient, however with other cups I had a few problems, they would either not pop open, or if they were hard enough to pop open they would press against my bladder and make me feel like I need to pee constantly and then not be able to pee because it was pressing against where the pee comes through, the tulip cup however is very soft so it doesn't cause the pressing and I can pee fine with it in and it pops open fine due to the 'spine' that runs down the back of the cup giving it some rigidity but only where its needed. Also I have a high cervix which meant that other cups would travel up too high and I would struggle to reach them and get them out, this cups shape makes it quite long while still being comfortable for me and means I can always reach it easily. Furthermore its got a lip at the top which stops spillage when removing and emptying which is a bonus! I don't know if its the shape or lip or spine or length but something makes this get a really good suction and I've not had any leaks at all, which I struggle with on most my other cups. This cup is perfect for me and I will definitely be purchasing another! And its very pretty for a menstrual cup 😍

On first impressions this cup seemed great felt nice and smooth, took a bit of practice inserting but easy to remove. Once in place, stuck to my insides like glue which created cramps 😖 I've usually got quite a high pain threshold havin fibromyalgia and sciatica flare ups but these were the worst cramps I'd ever had. Thought maybe I've just gotta get used to it as my moon cup was slightly different, so persevered had no relief from the pain til the cycle was over and cup was out! Waited til the next cycle to start popped the cup in and the pain was 10× worse- actually felt like I was in established labour! By the third day the cramps have usually subsided but noo the pain was exactly the same as day 1, could not hack it anymore so ripped the cup out and binned it, needless to say used pads for the remainder of the cycle. Have since bought the tulip cup and have had no problems. Do not use if you're not good with pain!

The lily cup was recommended by my friend. I had bought the moon cup prior to using the lily cup and found it to be very stiff and not comfortable. The first time I used the lily cup I was amazed how comfortable it was. I never felt it at all. There was no leakage. I used the taco method to insert which is super easy and no hassle at all. The removal was SO easy and very comfortable. (The moon cup was very u comfortable to remove.) 12 hours of no hassle period! A dream come true! I would recommend the lily cup!

Works great for my body! I previously tried the classic moon cup but found it quite uncomfortable and experienced a lot of leaking. I talked to my obgyn about the specifics of my vagina (the curve of the canal, size of the cervical spine, strength of the pelvic floor muscles and such) and then took the menstrual cup quiz on putacupinit.com where this was recommended to me and I'm so happy with it! Every vagina is very different so try to find out as much as you can about yours to help you find a cup that's gonna work for you! It can be very helpful to talk to a professional about this kind of stuff I love the softness and shape of this cup and I hardly ever experience leaking when I insert it properly (which took a little while to learn not gonna lie) I also wet my cup with some water to make inserting easier! Removal has also been very smooth and a lot more comfortable than with my previous cup! Awesome product basically!

Premetto che usavo solo gli assorbenti esterni, dopo il parto ho voluto provare la coppetta, perché sentivo molti pareri favorevoli e soprattutto per l ambiente. Attenzione alle misure, perché per capire l altezza della vostra cervice, dovete "misurarla" il primo giorno del ciclo (sul loro sito ti spiegano come misurarla). Pro: Pratica, inodore, ti scordi di avere le mestruazioni, puoi tenerla su fino a 12h, è dotata di una comoda custodia, per niente fastidiosa. Contro: questa è la seconda volta che la uso e devo capire bene come posizionarla, perché alle volte esce qualche macchiolina alle volte niente. Ragazze, provatela perché è spettacolare. Vi ringrazierà l ambiente e il vostro portafoglio 😊

Sinceramente es la mejor copa que he probado, es súper suave y fácil de utilizar, la recomiendo totalmente. Lo único a tener en cuenta es que esta copa se recomienda para mujeres con el cervix alto.

Meine Bewertung gilt dem Intimina Cup derselben Größe, den ich vor etwa 7 Jahren gekauft habe, da ich den neu gekauften noch nicht ausgetestet habe. Das gute Stück passt für mich perfekt und funktioniert auch noch nach all den Jahren einwandfrei. Wie vom Hersteller beschrieben, ist das Material (insbesondere im Vergleich zu den meisten anderen Modellen anderer Hersteller) sehr weich und hat gleichzeitig bei der für Menstruationstassen empfohlenen Pflege bisher keine Ermüdungserscheinungen oder dergleichen gezeigt. Insgesamt hat sich der Kauf für mich gelohnt und daneben viel Müll eingespart. Vor dem Kauf empfehle ich aber sich genau zu informieren, welcher Cup für welchen Zweck am besten geeignet ist. Jeder Körper ist schließlich anders.

For me, it's too long, I feel constant pressure inside, and it's very difficult to remove, but quite easy to install. It is rigid and prevents leaks. I used to use a softer cup, but it was difficult to install. So for me it's a disappointment in comfort, but a satisfaction in reliability. I use it when I want to be sure that there will be no leaks - for swimming.

Déjà utilisatrice de coupe menstruelle, je trouve celle-là très bien, elle est plus souple et douce, moins difficile à enlever que les autres coupes, mais du fait de sa souplesse il faut prendre le coup pour la plier et la mettre mais globalement pour le moment j'en suis ravie.
