Intimina Lily Cup Compact - Small Menstrual Cup with Flat-fold Compact Design, Disposable Menstrual Cups, Period Cup Reusable (Size A)

No idea why I was so reluctant to use cups before. If you have ever used tampons, cups are an upgrade. This is my first cup so I don't know how it compares to others, but I liked it from the first day of use. I love everything about it: ease of use (seriously just read the instructions and follow them), you can compact it (the box is tiny, easy to carry around with you), colour, material, lack of smell, you don't feel it at all, produces no waste, it is recyclable for years, easy to clean, you can wear it for up to 10 hours. I do a lot of sports (cycling, body pumping, yoga) and had no problems with leaking or feeling it. To sum it up: perfect for modern, active, travelling ladies that care about environment.

It’s very soft so is comfy to wear without applying pressure on my bladder like a different popular UK brand I tried. I did have to trim the stem and to make it fit perfect. However, something to keep in mind is that on the first 2 days of my period I have to empty this cup quite frequently (4-5 hours) which is a bit annoying. Also, because of it being odd shape and soft it makes it a bit harder to tell if it’s fully open or not (something you get used to). Having said that, I really like this cup now I’ve gotten used to it. When it is open I have no leaks or spotting of any sort. Highly recommend- especially if you’re finding other cups uncomfortable!

I have only managed to use this cup once since buying it but overall, my experience of my period drastically improved. I really recommend to try a menstrual cup since you don't need to change it as often as pads or tampons. Moreover, cups are more eco-friendly because you can use one cup even up to 10 years. I'm also happy with the fact that they are far more comfortable than pads and I completely didn't feel it in my body while using it. However, I'm still having troubles inserting it and because of it, there is some minimal leaking. I hope that once I get used to the cup, the spotting will stop.

really good product, i'm just tired of being marketed 'gendered' products as though all women only like pink. I would have preferred black or red, but because I've got a vagina, i must be genetically programmed to have a hatred towards anything that isn't pink! I know it is a bit of an angry start, but i must finish of by saying: i like the design (the fact it is compact and fold-able) and it is comfortable and practical. Personally, i think its one of the best cups on the market.

I have been using this cup for 8 years and it is just fantastic! So soft, easy to insert and can never feel it once in place. I empty it every morning in the shower and never think about it again for 24 hours. I feel clean and fresh all day and love how hygienic it is. It really is life changing!

I was excited about the compact size, so easy to carry with you but when I used it for the first time, not only it leaked but also got almost lost inside. Luckily I managed to get it out, but au'm not going to use it anymore as I don't want to end up in A&E to remove it. I should have listened to the other bad reviews!

Very compact and folds down nicely but that is partly what causes the main problem with this product - because it is relatively small and flimsy when compared to a more conventional cup, it is very hard to feel if it has "pinged open" after insertion and I've found that when my flow is heavy then it's much more likely to leak, presumably because body movement etc. is deforming the sides of the cup. I think this will be a useful cup for keeping on you for emergencies. but I'll be changing it to my Mooncup once I get home as it's much easier to get that to open out properly, check it's seated correctly and feel confident that it's going to stay open and do its job. I also found the disposable Softcups better for not leaking, but of course they are disposable and I wanted a more portable reusable cup, hence buying this one. in short, keep this on you for unexpected period starts and spotting, but change to a stiff-sided cup when you are able to.

All right, I decided to try a menstrual cup recently since I stopped taking the contraceptive pill (my flow got bad). I tried the saalt first, they are good, but I found out that I have a high cervix and retroverted uterus. With that in mine, I researched a lot and bought the Pixie ones for retroverted uterus. But they seemed to be a bit short for me. So I decided to try the lilly ones because they have a cone format that I was looking for and they are also long. I still struggled a bit to remove it, but was definitely less worse than the others. With the Saalt ones, because they are round on the bottom, I couldn’t pinch them, just able to get there with the point of a finger. Needed about 40minutes and loads of exercise to be able to push it out. With the pixie ones, I could reach it really on the bottom and do the pinch, but just a little and was not enough to break the suction and pull it out. Also, lost about 40 minutes and loads of effort. With the lilly one, this format and size, allows the bottom of the cup to sit in a place i am able to reach and pinch to break the suction. It’s not yet very easy, but definitely possible, just need more practice. If I continued with the others i tried i would end up hurting my pelvic floor muscles on long term. So, I really advise you to try different cups until you find one that is manageable to put in/take out. These Lilly ones seem good for people like me, with high cervix.

I've been using these for nearly a year now and little to no problems! It's a bit uncomfortable at first, but you get used to it over time. No leaks, no problems removing, and the case comes in handy. P.s. any ladies reading this, removing it can be a but messy. So don't do use this at Ren Fair where they only have port-a-potties and nowhere to wash your hands 😅

La mia prima coppetta e subito alla prima ho messo e tolto senza problemi. Tuttavia consiglierei un altro modello come prima coppetta a chi non ha esperienza. Non essendo le pareti diritte può essere un po' difficoltoso a chi non ha esperienza toglierla e a differenza di altre coppette che ho adesso, questa l'ho trovata un po' troppo rigida ma sicuramente è una questione personale. Molto comoda perché si ripiega e si mette nella sua scatolina. Davvero pratica.

I bought the normal Lily cup at the same time just to see which one my body preferred. I found this one to be the perfect size for me, I do have a low cervix so this one fit me. It was so easy to put in, but I did struggle to take it out. In the end, I think it's all about practice makes perfect. Now that I know how to take it out - I don't think it will take me long to insert and remove.

I have a couple specific issues that make cups hard to fit, as they have to be soft and they have to be short, so a lot of popular favourites don't work so well for me. I gave this one a go after hearing it meets those conditions, and WOW, so this is why people love cups! I don't feel it at all when it's positioned properly, and it's actually easy for me to insert (probably depends on your anatomy.) It's a bit hard to get out, as you really need to hook the rim, but I'm getting the hang of it. The only drawback is that a small cup has a small capacity, so I'm emptying frequently on heavy flow days. But I specifically needed a small cup, so that comes with the territory, haha. Very happy with my purchase.

Ich bin beeindruckt! Das ist meine zweite Menstruationstasse, da ich Probleme mit der Ersten (von T.O.C.) hatte. Sie war mir zu hart und steif, sie drückte oft gegen meine Blase und bereitete mir während der Periode noch stärkere Krämpfe. Zudem lief er aus und saß nie gut, ohne Binde als Absicherung ging also nichts. Das erste Mal als ich den Lily Cup einsetzte war ich so erleichtert. Keine Schmerzen, leichtes Einführen dank dem superweichen Silikon, kein Auslaufen... Ich vergesse sogar dass ich sie trage. An meinem ersten Periodentag, muss ich sie allerdings nach ca. 8 Stunden ausleeren, da meine Blutung zu stark ist und die Tasse doch recht klein. Die restlichen Tage, kann ich sie ohne Probleme von morgens bis abends eingesetzt haben. Das Einsetzen fiel mir nicht schwer, ist nur etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, da man die Tasse nicht wie die Anderen nach reindrücken kann, sie klappt sonst zusammen. Einfach mit dem Finger an die Seite der Tasse und am Rand der Öffnung hochschieben - fertig. Tasse sitzt. Wenn es schnell gehen soll, kann es mal passieren, dass sie nicht richtig eingesetzt wurde und eingeklappt drin sitzt, deshalb noch lange kein Stern Abzug, weil das seine Vorteile hat. Man kann die Tasse kleiner machen für die Tage mit weniger Blutung und sie ist schnell verstaubar. Fazit: Eine bessere Tasse kann ich mir wirklich nicht vorstellen. Bequem, angenehme Haptik, läuft nicht aus, gut zu transportieren und hat eine hübsche Farbe. ;)
