I'll never go back to tampons
This thing has been a game changer. It's comfortable. (I use the smaller cup) I've saved so much money and time. Get one!

Cheers to saving money!

This was my first menstrual cup and I was going to purchase another brand but chose this instead. I watched a thousand videos on YouTube to get myself prepared but it was simple to use and easy to remove. I only used the small cup and it never got full on my heavy day. I work 12 hour shifts as a CNA and I kept it in for the entire time. Adding up the hour before work and the hour to get home, I had it in for about 14 hours. I was scared I would get tss or something but it was fine. I didn't feel uncomfortable with the length of the stem so I didn't cut it down. I actually felt better knowing I could feel it easily when it was time to be removed. I also have irregular bleeding so my period does its own thing. I was bleeding for over a month and the costs for tampons and pads were stressing me out. I was purchasing multiple packs of each tampon size because I couldn't tell if I was going to be heavy or light that day. This cup saved my budget and eased my mind. I 1000% recommend this.On a side note I bought a sterilizer for my cup so I wouldn't have to worry about boiling it. Also I just keep it in the pouch it came with and I bring it around in my pocket in case of an emergency. (I never know when my period will start).
Reply from Venus Cup Team:
First of all, thank you for your service as a CNA during this pandemic.
Second, thank you for choosing the Venus Cup as your first menstrual cup. We couldn’t be more pleased that it was easy for you to use. I’m sure that watching videos really helped you to be prepared for what to expect.
The Venus Cup is made of medical grade silicone and is safe to use all day as long as it is removed at least twice during the day for a good rinse; whether you’re bleeding or not. Some people use it on a daily basis to collect discharge and keep moisture at bay. If you feel comfortable using it day to day and are confident that you will have good hygiene habits, there is no need to carry it in your pocket just in case of surprises.
Please feel free to contact us directly if you have any other questions or concerns.
Cheers to all day period protection!

I have used the Lena cup and liked it. I was hesitant to try Venus- but so far, so good.

Hi Amy,
Thank you for sharing your experience thus far with the Venus Cup Starter Kit. Although your previous cup is a reputable, well-known brand name, the Venus Cup is quite different in shape and size. If you’re looking for a high capacity cup, I hope the Venus Cup continues to work well while being easy and comfortable to use.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us should you need support. We’re here for you.

I was very iffy about trying this especially since it was bought first Diva Cup. After using it for my 2ed period I finally got the hang of putting it in properly. I will say if you have nails be very careful I learned that the hard way. I absolutely love this and I will continue to use it.
Reply from Venus Cup Team:
Thank you for sharing your feedback while using the Venus Cup Starter Kit. Indeed, having extremely long nails can pose its own learning curve, but it is still doable and we’re pleased to hear that you didn’t give up.
One great tip we’ve come across is to tuck your thumbnail under the pointer fingernail so that a rounded surface is entered into the vaginal canal. Once inserted, shift the fingers apart to pinch the cup with the fingertips.
WTG on your success with the cup and nails! If you have any other concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly. We’re here to help.
Best wishes,

I've never used cups before. I was truly worried so I always put it off. But after having my children and getting my tubes tied, I found my periods to be EXTREMELY heavy. I was bleeding through the biggest super plus tampon I could find within an hour. I had to wear pads along with my tampons to make sure I wasn't going to have a big disaster by missing the hour by a couple minutes. I wore adult diapers and nighttime pads (inside the diaper) to keep from bleeding through at night. I was constantly getting cystic-like acne in my bikini area due to wearing pads so much. I was going through almost whole box of tampons for just one period. I did research about menstrual cups. I watched videos on how to insert, different sizes, different brand reviews, etc. I found Venus on Amazon and searched reviews. Decided I would go with the 2 pack for light days and my heavy days. I have a high cervix. (I measured with my finger. My whole index finger fit and I barely touched my cervix. And no, my fingers are not short. I think they are average length.) I inserted using the pinch fold. It was super easy. I could hear it pop open and only inserted until thetail' was flush with my skin. When I removed it, I just grabbed thetail' and pushed with my muscles while wiggling until it came down enough for me to squeeze it. I pulled the rest of the way out, no spills. The book helps with this along with YouTube video. For this being my first time ever using a cup, I truly cannot think of another cup. This is life changing! I'm never going back.

What a fabulous, detailed review! We are so grateful that you took the time to share your experience with not just using the Venus Cup, but that it was your first cup. We’re pleased to hear that after reading our manual and doing some video searches, that it was easy to use, comfortable to wear, and had the capacity to give you some freedom from tampons and pads.
We understand how difficult and draining living with extremely heavy periods can be. We hope that the Venus Cup can and will provide you with many years of excellent protection.

Doesn't seal properly like Diva. Had to buy Diva at whole foods since this was not working and I was on my period! I have used Diva for the past 5 yrs with no issues and needed a 2nd one for travel. So bought Venus thiking that 2 cups would be ideal for different flow days. Bad choice because of 2 reasons1) bell like design at the end doesn't seal properly and2) always had an urge to pee as it pressed against my bladder making it very uncomfortableDesign like a cone (which Diva has) works far more effectively! I'm returning Venus.

Thank you for sharing your feedback after trying the Venus Cup. Menstrual Cups are not a “one-size/type-fits all” just like each of the people who use them. We’re sorry that the shape and size did not fit your anatomy. However, just because it didn’t work for you does not mean there is a flaw in the design. We’re still pleased to hear that you already have a cup that works for you.

I really enjoy using these reusable cups. They work well if you have a light-medium flow. I found myself constantly changing it when the flow was heavier. Sometimes I had a problem removing it if I slept with it, but I would just sit on the toilet and push until my fingers reached the tip.Really happy with my purchase. It doesn't irritate at all. I boil the cups before each new cycle and rinse with hot water in between.I highly recommend this product especially if you get irritation from tampons and pads or you simply want to be more eco-friendly.

The small one leaks, the the big one slide down and couldn't stay there
Reply from Venus Cup Team:
Thank you for taking a moment to share your feedback while using the Venus Cup Starter Kit. We’re sorry to hear that your experience wasn’t a successful one. Here are some tips in case you decide to try either of the sizes again. And as always, you are welcome to contact us directly for one on one support. We’re here to help.

Make sure that the cup is properly placed -
In a squatting position, aim the folded cup down and back towards your tailbone. The cervix isn't normally located straight up into the vaginal canal. Inserting it as such can result in a cup that won't open completely, leaking, shifting or rotating, and/or discomfort and pressure.


Make sure there are no dents -
After the cup is inserted, insert a finger and feel around the rim or as high up on the cup as you can for any dents. If you feel a dent, wiggle the cup down and then use a finger to push it back up into place. Often, when a cup (any cup) is inserted completely, the cervix gets in the way of allowing the rim to fully expand. Wiggling or rocking the cup down will let your cervix correct itself.
Alternatively, you can insert the cup halfway and then let it open before using a finger to push it into place.
Either way will help the cup open before being positioned directly under or around the cervix.
Excess blood -
There's always some blood coating the vaginal walls even after the cup is placed. To avoid spotting, use a wet pH balanced wipe or cloth to clean the grip rings and stem of any excess blood.
Overflow -
If you are leaking due to overflow in a short amount of time, the only suggestion I can make is to either empty the cup more often or to try the larger size providing your cervix height allows it.
Please keep in mind that even though we state that you can use the cup for up to 12 hours, it depends on your menstrual flow. Individuals with a very heavy flow may only be able to use the cup for 4-6 hours before they need to empty it.

If a cup feels like it is sliding down, it’s either the wrong size or doesn’t have a good seal.

Again, please feel free to contact us directly. We would be happy to give you one on one support to help you have a successful cup experience.

Best wishes,
The Venus Cup Team

I have tried 3 other menstrual cups before the venus, and it is by far my favorite. As someone with extremely heavy periods, I can honestly say that the venus cup has given me back some of my quality of life during my period. I would previously change other cups every 1.5-2 hours on my heaviest day, and I only have to empty every 4-5 hours on my heaviest day now with the large size. It is quite large and you really need the anatomy for this cup, otherwise, you would be able to feel it. It was uncomfortable when I first inserted it but after I adjusted to the cup and how to place it, it was fine. Sometimes it does press against my bladder but it's tolerable. Overall, I love it and this cup will become my go to.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us after using the Venus Cup Starter Kit. Although the small and large cups have the same total length, we’re sorry that the shortened stem made it difficult to remove. We hope that the smaller Venus Cup is still easy and comfortable.
Squatting in the tub might be helpful as it pushes your cervix (and cup) lower and gives you better access to reach it.

I hadn't used a cup in years due to an iud, followed by back to back pregnancies, but when my period finally came back I decided it was time to get a new one. Tampons just weren't holding enough (especially overnight) and I was getting tired of stinky pads. It took me a while to decide on this one. I ultimately ordered it for the capacity, I'd woken up at least once every recent period having soaked through my tampon and all over my underwear and sheets.The large cup is definitely large!! But the way it is shaped, it doesn't feel much different. It's a little longer, but not so long as to be noticeable. It can definitely hold more than any tampon I've tried. The smaller one is pretty similar to other cups. They are both soft, but firm enough that they aren't hard to open upon insertion. I didn't have any pressure or discomfort with either size. I'm pretty short and my cervix is a bit on the lower side but I didn't even have to trim the stems on these, especially since the silicone is so soft. Overall happy with my choice!

I've had no leaks at all using this. It's my first cup. I wish I bought just the large one by itself. The small one was uncomfortably small.
Reply from Venus Cup Team:
We couldn’t be more pleased to hear that one, you chose the Venus Cup as your first cup, and two, that you were able to use it with no leaks. Thank you for sharing your positive experience while using both the small and large cups. Speaking of the small Venus Cup, you can stash it away if you ever do need it, like if you lose the large one, just until you can get a replacement.

I was nervous about trying this product, fearing it wouldn't work for my body (very low cervix), and trying not to get my hopes up that a larger capacity cup existed for me.I'm a very experienced cup user. I've tried several types in the past 13 years, with the Lunette being my favorite for the past 8-9. Regardless of brand/size, I've always had to remove the stems entirely. It's the first thing I do when I get a new one, based on previous experiences and the large Venus is no exception. I may be able to keep some of the stem on the small one. I'm not sure yet, as I've never had a cup quite that small.I've only used the large one so far. It was tricky the first several tries. I prefer a firmer cup (the Venus is pretty soft), and had to try a few different folds to get it right. It was almost like starting from scratch. It didn't want to open all the way, so I had to get creative and let it start opening as I was inserting it.It's sitting low, but working. And I mean LOW. If there were a stem attached it would be hanging out of my vagina. Hopefully it will continue to fit well enough to work because I'm desperate for a larger capacity for my worst days, days I can fill a Lunette in less than an hour, nights I wake up covered in blood because a cup and overnight pad aren't enough.I hope this gives some of my low cervix sisters some hope! If you position it just right, it may work for you too.
Reply from Venus Cup Team:
Thank you for sharing your positive experience with the Venus Cup Starter Kit and for giving low cervix users some hope.
Indeed, the Venus Cup is much softer than the Lunette, but we chose an overall medium firmness closer to another well-known brand. We understand that some individuals will still find it too soft or too firm. We’re just happy that you were able to work around it.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us should you need support even if you are a very long time cup user.

So far I live this menstrual cup. It is my first experience with one. There is a learning curve and it takes a few tries to figure put which fold is right for you. I do recommend to start using it a day or two before your cycle to get used to inserting, making sure it's sealed correctly, and pulling it out. I've had no issues pulling it out and cleaning the cup during my cycle. I felt much cleaner and better about myself using this cup. I highly recommend getting the one with the small and large cup therefore you have a higher capacity one for heavier days.

The big one was too big for me. And the silicone was too soft. It didn't work for my needs. I like the material to be thicker and a longer stem.
Reply from Venus Cup Team:
We apologize that the Venus Cup wasn’t all that you hoped it would be. Although it is about the same length and diameter as the average large-sized cup, the wider base can feel “fuller” for some individuals. We also tried to keep the firmness in the middle to accommodate the majority of cup users, but it will always be too soft or firm for some. We’re just sorry that you didn’t have a good experience over all. We hope that you find a cup that’s right for you even if it’s not the Venus Cup.
Best wishes on your hunt for the perfect cup.

I was in my early twenties when I first decided to make the switch from tampons. I tried the Diva Cup and loved the freedom and convenience it offered but hated that I could never get a full twelve hours from it.So I searched and searched, trying every cup I could get my hands on and each time I was disappointed. Large or small, every cup I tried lost it's seal at around halfway full and leaked until I emptied it. Six years and many cups later, I thought I'd have to 'settle' and accept that there would be no perfect cup for me - Until now!The large Venus cup is hands down my new favorite. As it turns out, my cervix is low enough to sit partially INSIDE most cups, taking up valuable space and causing it to fill so much faster than it should. With the Venus, the cup seals perfectly around my cervix and still has plenty of holding capacity to spare! I can ride a bicycle to and from work and walk my dog three miles every day and never have to think about rushing to a bathroom to perform 'damage control.' The Venus is the only cup that can handle my cervix and my heavy flow and still keep on performing like a champ.I love it so much that I just ordered another to keep in my travel bag. Now I'll NEVER be caught without this excellent cup!

I bought the Venus starter kit because a health issue and I have been using the small cup, so far without any inconvenient. I trim the stem and left just 3 cones like the large cup and I have no issues reaching it when I have to empty the cup. What I probably like the most is how soft it's. I have a couple of Saalt cups and those are really hard in comparison with the Venus. Another plus about the Venus cups for beginner users is the little manual book that come with the cups. The folds appear explained in detail there and there are lost of info about the cup and how use and take care of this.

These are great! No leaks! I love the smaller cup because the pull tab is longer. The large cup's pull tab is too short, I have a very hard time pulling it out. As the day goes on, the cup seems to slide further in, making it harder to reach the pull tab. I practically have to squat and squeeze and/or cough just to get it down far enough to pull out.

Hi Crow,

Thank you for taking a moment to share your experience and feedback while using the Venus Cup Starter Kit. We’re happy to hear that the small has been easy to use. However, we’re sorry that the stem on the larger Venus Cup is harder to reach. Although the overall length of the cups are the same size, they may sit differently while inserted, causing the difficulty. I hope that over time the large becomes easier to use. Please don’t hesitate to contact directly should you ever need support.
Happy Holidays. Stay well.

I got my period last week and was skeptical to finally try it. I have used other cups but they always leak or fall into the toilet somehow. The first day with Venus I had some leaks but I knew there's trial and error with them. Omg it was amazing days 2-5. I still had to wear a pad (fibroids, tipped uterus and super heavy flow) but I only had to change it every 3.5hrs the first few days and left it in for up to 8hrs the last 2 days. The pad was not soaked just caught some leaks if the cup became full etc. The suction is unbelievable! I had no cramps either which was a huge plus! P.S. get an autoclave cup steamer. It's additional sterilization at an affordable price.

Hi TJ Black,

*Pro User Tip: The cervix isn't normally located straight up into the vaginal canal, but more slanted to the back (near the rectum). In a squatting position, aim the folded cup down and back towards your tailbone. This will place the cup in a better position near the cervix.

I held off purchasing a cup for a long time out of nervousness, and eventually caved out of necessity. I was going to be leaving for an extended camping trip and was too afraid of having to work around pads and tampons. I'll be honest, the first couple uses were very frustrating, but after a few months I felt like a pro. This is coming from the girl that waited until her 20s to start using tampons. It saves money, is good for the environment, and is a lot safer for my body. Not to mention, it lasts significantly longer between needing to empty it. I like this particular kit because it gives you one large and one small cup, which works perfectly with heavy and lighter days. I would definitely recommend this.

*Pro User Tip: A common issue when a cup (any cup) is inserted completely, is that the cervix gets in the way of allowing the rim to fully expand. It can also push the cervix to the side and cause leaking. Wiggle or rock the cup down to let your cervix correct itself before pushing it back into place.

I like the idea of less waist. For some it may work very well. For me it did not. I had increased cramps and it was pushing on my bladder making it difficult to urinate. But it definitely stayed in place. Super suction, which did make it a little more difficult to remove. This is also not really something I would like to use in a public restroom as it can be messy. I tried it for two cycles. It's not something that is going to work for me.

Hello,

Thank you for taking a moment to share your experience with the Venus Cup. I'm sorry to hear that it was not a good option for you. It sounds like you may need a softer cup if you choose to give them another try. Remember that menstrual cups hold more than tampons. For many, even with a heavy flow, this eliminates the need to empty the cup but morning and evening.
I hope that you can find an eco-friendly period product even if it's not the Venus Cup.

Cheers,

This is a fabulous cup set. I have the Saalt Soft to compare it to, and the Venus cups are comparably soft, yet its shape gives it a little bit of firmness. The Venus is my go-to cup for yoga and working out bc it doesn't leak like my other cups do. I'm glad I bought it bc both sizes hold more capacity than other brands. The small is a perfect size between my Saalt small and the large one, yet it holds volume quite comparable to the large Saalt. The venus cups are comfortable and their shape grants them greater suction than my other bell shape cups. Their texture is very high quality and its a great duo at a great price. The large Venus holds almost 50mL and its huge capacity works great for my super heavy flow days that no other cup can handle. However, I currently use it mostly at night, bc due to my med-low cervix and sedentary lifestyle my pelvic floor had dropped to its lowest and its a bit big on me. (Nothing that can not be fixed with kegels and yoga, bc when I exercise my pelvic floor, the large Venus fits perfectly!). This is without a doubt THE CUP to consider if you are heavy flower, high cervix or are in a budget! (Just make sure you check your cervix and that it would fit?). Customer service is also superb, reaching out multiple times to ensure I know how to use it. Ive never seen this before attention to customers before.

Might be because I was born with straight pelvic. But this both sizes didn't work for me. Didn't open was so painful. You have to put this on when you don't have your period? Is uncomfortable to put and I have short nails and was so painful. If you have any problems like endo or similar please any size won't work it is painful. If you already suffer like not be able to have normal labor and is painful when with your partner trust me leave this for others to try. Stick with pads and periid underwear.

Hello Linda,

I'm sorry that you did not have a pleasant experience while using either size of the Venus Cup. Menstrual Cups are not a "one size fits all" type of product, just as we all have different body types. Many users with Endometriosis have been successful in using the Venus Cup and find that it relieves them of heavy bleeding for several hours compared to tampons or pads. However, not everyone will find it equally easy or comfortable depending on their cervical height. Knowing the location of your cervix can help you find a cup that will be more suited to your anatomy.
I hope that you decide to try another cup in the future even if it's not the Venus Cup.

Best wishes. Stay well.

I have used 4-5 different brand cups, but this is the most uncomfortable/difficult cup. It pushes on your bladder and the customer service is non-existent.Pros:-the suction is very strong-it's on the harder sideCons:It does not move as freely(?) as other cups to adjust to your cervix. I have found that some cups will find it's position (for maximum comfort) on its own once they're correctly inserted. But this one, you will have to move around to find the most comfortable position. (If used cups before, I hope this makes sense to you.)So this can lead to it pushing your bladder.-not for people with high cervixAnyway, I have reached out to the customer service, but they didn't respond. So if you're someone who is looking to buy a cup for the first time, who had high cervix, or who is looking for a cup that's more comfortable and easy to pull out, I would buy something else.
Reply from Venus Cup Team:
Hello ALLisWell,

I'm sorry to hear that you had such an unpleasant experience while using the Venus Cup Start Kit. I am also very sad that we failed to provide you with excellent customer service. I reply to every troubleshooting correspondence myself, and I don't recall receiving any inquiries about these specific issues through any of our media.
As you know, our bodies are all made differently. The same goes for each menstrual cup. As you have the starter kit, did the smaller, narrower size also press on your bladder? Usually, a smaller cup will relieve this issue.

Seal and suction are two things that differ from one person to the next. I'm sorry that the Venus Cup created such a strong suction for your anatomy.

Although we chose a medium firmness (comparable to the Diva Cup), everyone has a different degree of what soft and firm are. Some individuals will find the Venus Cup to be too soft, others find it too firm, and many will find it just right.

If a menstrual cup is positioned correctly, it should not move freely. That is a potential for leaks. Choosing the correct shape and size for your body will put a cup in the optimal position and will not need to adjust. However, a shorter cup will move up closer to your cervix because the vaginal canal will allow for it. For a user with a low cervix, a short cup will be more comfortable.
If you have a high cervix and a short cup, it may be difficult to remove, as well as allow your cervix to sit deep into the cup and take up the capacity.
A longer cup (like the large Venus Cup), will have the length, is not likely to move up too high, and can be reached easily.

Since you have tried 4-5 different brands, you know that menstrual cups are not a "one size fits all" type of product. I'm just sorry that the Venus Cup wasn't the one for you.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I hope that one of the other 4-5 cups works better for you.

Best wishes.

I've been on the search for my "goldilocks cup" for a while now. First I tried the Diva cup. I was able to insert it correctly, it opened nicely and stayed in place. The caveat? I could NOT get this thing out of my body. I know there are learning curves with the cup and I gave this cup a couple cycles but I just couldn't do it anymore. I had to turn up the A/C and plan on a solid 15 minutes of squirming/panicking/sweating just trying to get this thing out of my body. This is the point I realized I have a high cervix and I should try a cup that a little longer/easier for me to remove.In comes the Lily cup. It was extra long and made of super soft squishy silicone. I had no problem inserting or removing, however, I found out with this cup I had a LOT of issues with leaking or ineffectiveness all together. I soon came to realize no matter how I folded it or inserted it, the cup was too soft and flexible for my body. Turns out my vaginal canal is also extremely narrow and this cup was never actually opening all the way to create proper suction! It was like my vagina was just crushing and squeezing it!This is the point I realized I need a cup that's long enough for my high cervix but ridgid enough to actually unfold like it should in my body. Enter the Venus cup. I fricken LOVE this thing. It's firm enough that it actually opens up inside of me and stays put and it has an extra long and grippy stem that makes removal way easier. I've found the perfect cup for me. I no longer feel insecure about wearing a cup, and this thing is sooo much more comfortable for me than tampons or past cups I've tried. I got the starter kit, because I wasn't sure exactly which size I should go with. I'm 32 with no kids and I tried both sizes and ended up using the smaller size.TLDR: Ladies, if you've got a high cervix and issues with the cup actually unfolding correctly, give this one a try. It could be the perfit fit for you!

Hi Mel B,

Thank you for sharing all of the details about your cup journey as well as your experience with the Venus Cup Starter Kit.
Reading what you had to go through to remove one cup and having the next stay crushed, sounds frustrating! I can see why you would be on the search for another. We're honored that you took a chance with the Venus Cups.
We're happy to hear that the small Venus Cup was everything that you needed it to be and that you shared that even though it is the smaller and shorter cup, it still worked for your high cervix.
We hope that the larger Venus Cup will also be of some use to you should your periods become heavier.
It sounds like you have everything under control, but please don't forget that we're here if you need us.

These are the cups of my dreams! They're comfortable and easy to insert/remove, and the large one holds so much! I have a heavy flow, and have never filled it! It's what freedom looks like. My diva cup, I would have to change it all the time, and this one, only twice a day! No more worrying about having to change it in public restrooms. I can't feel it either. Ladies, do yourself a solid.I can't believe I didn't order this years ago. I had no idea what I was missing. Diva is so much firmer. I thought that was a good thing until I tried these. They hold just as well, but insert and open so much easier and less painfully. Sometimes my Diva would leak from not opening all the way. Not often, but sometimes, even though I've used it for years. Not a problem with these, and they're so much softer. I thought the larger one might be harder to insert, but it's not. I just use a u-fold and it's perfect.

Hello Kathleen,

I'm sorry to hear that your teen had some issues learning how to use either size of the Venus Cup. There is a learning curve and it will take some practice. If your teen is willing to try again, some water-based lubricant may be very helpful. The user manual was tailored with new users in mind, so have them browse through that as well. If all else fails, we're here for one on one support. Just contact us directly and we would be happy to work through any issues.
In the end, if your teen is not comfortable with using the Venus Cup, we understand. Menstrual cups are not a "one fits all" type of item and it just may not be the cup or menstrual product for them.

Best wishes to you both.

I’ve never noticed it was in at all. Also, you get a smaller cup with your purchase, figure that one out then move on up if you’re having problems. Removal is a bit tricky because the cups are shaped differently than most but then again not all menstrual cups are the same, the stem is easy to grip and long enough that you can pull down softly and break the suction.-I LOVE everything about these Venus cups:— They fit in the Pixie Cup UV sterilizer, both can fit in the Mr. A (that’s the brand, the steam sterilizers that I’ve seenon Amazon are generic and look the same with different brand names, so I can say with a 99% certainty OR MORE that at least one will fit all) sterilizer at once!— They have great capacity whether you’re on light or heavy days.— They’re comfortable.— The packaging is amazing, it made me want to try the cups even more: two cups, two bags, a cute box!

First of all, I did not order the starter set, only the Large size. After trying another brand somewhat unsuccessfully, and consequently learning that I have a heavier flow, and needed much larger capacity, I found Venus cup. Comparing it on paper to Super Jennie, the Venus is a smidge larger in its measurements. I was happy to see the affordable price, knowing if it didn't work well, or if I never got fully comfortable with using a cup, I wouldn't lose too much money.As other reviewers have noted, the packaging, booklet, and bag are all high quality. It did not appear to be a cheap knockoff of anything. Upon first look, I immediately thought, "Whoa, that's kinda big." LOL. But then I noticed the pretty embossing at the base for grip; which is definitely needed and hugely appreciated.After getting placement correctly (mind you, I was a novice to begin with), I couldn't believe it was so comfortable, especially given the size. It was also better with its stem. (The other cup I had tried had more of a flat tab as a stem, but I frequently felt it and didn't care for it.)Fast forward to one year later, and I use the Venus exclusively. My takeaways for this cup are that it is totally possible to have a heavy flow and use a cup. On day 2, which is usually the heaviest, I still need to empty around 4 hours. BUT, I've not had a nighttime leaking issue with it. Also, using a cup has made periods much more tolerable. I love how I can go for hours upon hours with not having to worry (as the week progresses). I still use liners sometimes, just in case, but they are rarely needed. My next step is trying period underwear to bridge the gap.As any other cup user will testify, you get to know your body better, by having more accurate knowledge of your flow. Tampons and pads disguise the true amount. Also, wearing a cup doesn't dry you out painfully like a tampon does. And I for one, was surprised that there is no odor. So a year in, and my trusty Venus is showing some discoloration, but I have done Hydrogen Peroxide soaks before, and it's good as new.I am never going back to tampons because of the Venus cup.

I started with the smaller size and found it to be a good fit for me. Definitely takes a few times using it to get used to but, once you get the hang of it, it’s very comfortable and easy to use. Make sure you read the booklet that comes with it, it has some good tips in it on how to use the cup and how to remove it.

Wow I never know how much I would love this. The first couple of hour I used the small after 2 hours it leak so I tried the large and I fell in love. It’s so comfortable it’s was hard to put them in for the first time but after I figure it out it was smooth sailing from there.

I totally don’t feel that this product is of bad quality or anything like that. But I do just have to speak to how it doesn’t fit my body. I think my cervix might sit a little high, and because of the wider base it gets stuck behind my pubic bone. I’m an experienced cup user and just wanted to try something that holds more than a Diva Cup. And while the larger cup definitely does fit more and is great for a heavy bleeder, I cannot get this thing out of my body to save my life. It also has no ribbing to grip onto at the bottom which makes it harder. I tried it for 3 cycles and now it’s time to give up.I only leave this review for those of you who might be worried about the same things. If you’re the type that needs to use their pointer finger and middle finger to retrieve your cup, this might be a tough one! But it is generally a great product.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and experience while using the Venus Cups. I'm sorry to hear that they were not a good fit for your anatomy. Cups are definitely not a 'one size fits all' product and we're just sorry that it wasn't the right one for you.
I appreciate that you still felt that it is a good quality product and hope that you find something that does work for you, even if it's not the Venus Cup.

Best wishes. Stay well.
