Yuuki Menstrual Cup - Small Classic + Infuser Box

Excellent cup for young (no childbirth) active women. I've always had problems with softer cups leaking during the day because they were not strong enough to stay open and sealed when I'm being active (looking at you Skcoon cup!). I used the Diva Cup for 2 years and finally needed a replacement. The Diva Cup was never perfect for me and I always experienced some light leaking when out and about even though it would not leak at night. The Diva Cup is considered one of the harder cups on the market, but it doesn't even compare the Yuuki! The Yuuki is so stiff that I could barely fold it to insert it. The Diva Cup seems like a soft cup compared the Yuuki. I was a little concerned because some reviews stated that because the Yuuki Cup is so stiff it caused cramping and they could feel it, but that was not the case for me. My guess would be if the Yuuki Cup or Diva Cup causes cramping then you need a softer cup. The VERY first time I tried a cup I did experience mild cramping but it went away and never happened again. The Yuuki Cup opened really easily because it was so stiff and sealed right away. I cannot feel the cup or the stem at all and I have a low cervix during my time of the month and I didn't have any issues with space or insertion with the small size.The Yuuki Cup is shorter then the Diva Cup and has a longer stem and is not as wide as the Diva. The Yuuki does have thicker rim at the top, but it doesnt seem to cause any sensation when its being used. I did not need to cut the stem and couldn't feel it once it was inserted. I did the classic "U" or "7" fold and was able to insert it just fine. So far I've had in for over 24 hours and I haven't experienced any leaking. I also have a Paragard IUD and experience HEAVY periods and the cup is a must for me, again haven't had to empty the Yuuki for over 24 hours. I would consider myself an expert user since I've used cups exclusively for over 3 years so again mine did not leak on the first use, but if you are new to cups you may experience some leakage until you get the hang of it. The "infuser" box is also great! Its so nice not to have to boil a pot of water to sanitize your cup and it doubles as a storage container. The "infuser" box is a small cylindrical plastic cup with a ventilated lid. You put the cup in stem side down fill with water to cover and microwave for 5-6 minutes. Warning: the plastic, the lid and the cup will come out piping hot! Wait a few minutes before removing the lid or pour the water out through the ventilated top first! I microwaved mine for 6 minutes before first use and let it air dry completely. I personally bought the small cup and I'm about 130lbs, 5'6, active, in my late twenties. If you are still leaking with the Diva Cup, I highly recommend giving the Yuuki a try!All cups will feel different for everyone and menstrual cups are definitely not one size fits all. You will most likely have to try several before finding the right one since we are all unique. Take the time and being willing to invest in a few cups and deal with some trial and error and some leakage, carry some panty liners and/or pads around with you while trying new cups or trying a cup for the first time. My friends who have made the switch used organic tampons and alternated with the cup for a few months before switching completely over. The first period with the cup probably won't be perfect, but if it is thats great! Switching to cups has changed my life and I recommend them to all the women I know! There is no smell, no waste and no risk of TSS. You DO have to be comfortable with touching your lady parts and not be too squeamish about your own blood (I'm very squeamish and it doesn't bother me at all). Honestly ALL women should be familiar and comfortable with their own body and how it works! I truly believe they should teach young girls about menstrual cups during sex education as a eco-friendly and healthy option to tampons and pads. Cannot recommend Yuuki and menstrual cups enough ladies!

Ok so.... I have been dying to try a menstruel cup to see if that helps to ease my severe cramping that comes to cause havoc monthly by my monster (I call my period the monster) Anyway, after going back and forth back and forth I finally decided to go ahead and try. The idea is there but I think for this particular cup, the size and texture I picked, was not for me, I got the sturdier material because I read horror stories about leakage and cups collapsing! I didn't stop to think about comfortability. Once delivered, couldnt wait to start my monster (NEVER thought I'd say that sh*t) when I did, i hurried to insert said cup and it took me a few times and a few pep talks from the SO ago finsltm just Get THAT thang in there... I was VERY VERY aware that I had a cup inside me... I tried to rock it for a few hours to see if I got used to it... nah! My greatest pain was from the thickness around the mouth of the cup that acts like a vacuum and suction cups to my cervix... that was very painful for me..SO... needless to say, I have a tampon in there within seconds ... I think that I need to try a softer material and maybe even a smaller cup to see if that makes any difference!

I bought the Yuuki after having used the Fleurcup for a couple of years. The small Fleurcup is much softer, but practically the same size as the small Yuuki. I wanted a firmer cup because, as I am a bit of a gym rat, I have a strong pelvic floor. Sometimes that just keeps the softer cup from opening up properly, especially at the beginning of my period. I'm very glad I bought this cup. Only downside perhaps, but that seems true for the other cup as well albeit less pronounced, is that the cup seems to press on my bladder a bit. I always have to pee more often when I'm wear the cup. That is a insignificant price to pay for not having to mess about with bloody tampons and gory pads.

I love how firm this cup is. I can feel it pop open upon insertion. The firmness makes it easy to insert and remove. It is a very comfortable cup. The infuser is very useful for cleaning.

Perfect! My Lena cup wasn't firm enough, and the Yuuki cup solves that problem! The only thing I'd change is the capacity. As a heavy flow girl, having to change this every 2-3 hours is a pain and it always overflows the first few nights of sleeping during my period.

Best invention ever. I will never go back to pads or tampons. Never have to worry about blood stains again.

I sent it back immediately!! Cup is too firm, hard to remove, and it leaks.*Sticking to DIVA CUP*If I could rate 0 stars I would

I love how firm this cup is. There's no fuss getting it to open, and it's very comfortable.
