The act of shoving it in and not being able to get it further up than half a finger meant I didn’t trust the cup’s blood-holding abilities. I jumped. I wriggled around. I kept trying to gently push it in further. It just didn’t feel right. One key thing to be aware of: The Blossom cup is very firm. This could be a plus, but it caused problems with testers for insertion and removal. Its firmness meant it tended to pop open before it was fully in place, which was annoying for some and straight-up painful for others. It also meant the stem and base had less give, so it didn’t respond to gentle tugging for removal. However, testers said it felt secure once it was fully inserted (though one tester was never able to get to that point) and did not experience any leaks. It also has a new outfit, available in two colours and two sizes. Ziggy A (50 ml / 1.69. oz.) is a light pink menstrual disc intended for those with a shorter cervix and lighter to medium-intensive period flow. Ziggy B is cerise, a bit bigger (76 ml / 2.5. oz.) and created for people with a higher cervix and heavier flow. Is a menstrual disc for me? The Ziggy Cup arrives in a large, hard plastic, clamshell case, along with a small silicone carrying/storage case, and a user manual. Who is it Meant For? When the Ziggy is in place, you can’t feel a thing. It’s easy to forget you even have your period – except when using the loo! There’s no wiping yourself in the loo and seeing telltale pink – but the pressure caused by the device can make it difficult to empty my bladder.

Is it the right cup for you? I can’t speak for everyone, but it’s turned out to be the perfect cup for me! How do I know if my Ziggy cup is in right?Dvě velikosti nové generace Ziggy Cupu™ 2 reflektují to, že každé ženské tělo je jiné - a i jedno a totéž ženské tělo může projít během života proměnou. Velikost A je vhodná pro ženy s nižším děložním čípkem, velikost B pro ty s vyšším čípkem. Základní pravidlo zní: dobře zavedený Ziggy Cup™ byste neměla vůbec cítit. Pokud máte zkušenost s první generací kalíšku Ziggy Cup - ta odpovídá nynější velikosti B - a registrujete nepohodlí či jiné potíže, možná budete potřebovat menší velikost. The Cora cup is suction-based with a ridged pull tab at the base. It’s made of undyed silicone and comes in two sizes: Size 1 (intended for first-time cup users, people with light to medium flows, who do not experience bladder leaks, and/or have not given vaginal birth) and Size 2 (for people with heavier flows, who have given vaginal birth, and/or experience light bladder leaks). Its key distinguishing factor, however, is a thumb-size indentation on its side, which is intended to make it easier to fold.

There are two models available. Model 1 may suit those with light bleeding or spotting. Model 2 may suit those with moderate, heavy, and very heavy flows, and when people feel they need to change their pads or tampons regularly. I don’t think it’s my place to have much of an opinion on the matter. I’m just happy to be having sex, and I usually don’t mind the mess of period sex. It didn’t feel much different for me, besides the bit of silicone if I went too deep.” We’ll just say he’s giving it the green light.

And in 2022, it’s even easier to combine periods and pleasure without worry, thanks to the newest generation of menstrual cups for mess-free sex – Ziggy Cup 2! Meet our newest family member, the Ziggy 2! Stop when you reach your cervix (often described as a little doughnut of flesh which feels like the tip of your nose). Hydrogen peroxide (1%): You can get this from most drug stores or pharmacies. Use one part 1% hydrogen peroxide and one part water. Submerge your cup and let it soak for 24 hours. Give it a good wash to remove all of the hydrogen peroxide residue before using it or storing it.
