“Prior to buying a femmecup I used lilets super for the first few days, and then lilets regular until the end of my period. A pack of 16 super would last me for 2 periods when used in conjunction with a similar sized pack of regular. I'm sure that financially my femmecup has already paid for itself. I haven't yet been swimming during a period , but I feel confident that I will not have a problem. I occasionally found that my tampons would absorb water and would need changing as soon as I finished swimming - I guess that that is largely due to 4 children, loss of muscle tone, and a need to do more pelvic floor exercises. On the much more positive side, the debilitating backache that used to accompany all my periods has disappeared, so I'm also now saving money because I no longer need a pack of paracetamol every month, not to mention several hot water bottles for the first few days. I like the bag, it makes it easy for me to have the femmecup with me in my handbag, and is less obvious than tampons or towels. Cleaning the cup and using it in public toilets has not been a problem. Largely due, I think, to the useful advice in your website. Overall, I'm pleased with my femmecup. I purchased it to save money in the long term, but also because I had concerns about TSS and all the bleaching chemicals that are used in tampons. I have resented paying VAT on menstrual products since I was 13, but was not aware that there was an alternative to tampons and towels until recently.”

“I must say I was a little sceptical when I bought my femmecup from your stand at the Clothes show but I am a real convert! I was expecting to find it tricky to insert but it's so easy! I cut the stalk bit off the bottom for comfort and can honestly say I have never had a leak or any discomfort. As a GP, I have good knowledge of female anatomy which may have given me a slight advantage but I'm sure any woman could manage this cup with a little practice. I have recommended it to many of my friends and just bought one for my 2 sisters. I find it far more effective and comfortable than tampons and the environmental benefits help ease my conscience in our 'throw away' culture.”

“Getting on really well with the Femmecup. It arrived just hours before my period; so was able to use it straight away! Wish I had had one years ago, it is the best purchase I have made in a while.”

“I really love the femmecup, it makes my period so much less hassle. I don't have to worry about having piles of pads etc with me. It is especially good for me as i am travelling back and forth from uni it is one less thing to pack. I imagine it will also be good for this reason when going on holiday. I would say my two favourite points about it are that it can stay in place for up to 12 hours and that it can be worn over night (i always hated wearing pads at night and leaks were a major problem). Overall though i think it is a great product. I bought it for its environmental benefit and have been stunned with how easy it is to use and how easy it makes my period!”

“It's fantastic never having to worry if I've got tampons/ST's in stock!... and what a saving!”

"Wow! I have had my Femmecup for two months now and I am so happy with it, my period has totally changed, it is stress free, no soggy strings, my cramps are lighter and no leaks at all, my only regret is that I didn't get one sooner!"

"Femmecup has revolutionised female sanitation. I am no longer restricted by the need to always carry tampons or prevented from doing activities such as swimming or hiking during menstruation. It has saved me a lot of money and at the same time is helping the environment. I would recommend Femmecup to any woman!"

"Why I love my Femmecup? It's very clean - I have very heavy periods I always worry about leaks but had no leaks when using the Femmecup. It is really comfortable I couldn't even feel I had it in. I keep it with me at all times (when going on holiday last year I had to take loads of sanitary towels and tampons with me but NOT this year I'll just be taking my Femmecup which fits discreetly in my handbag! And it saves me loads of money each month! I couldn't go back to towels & tampons now."

"Thank you for opening my eyes to a whole new way of dealing with my periods. The Femmecup is a totally great. The first month I had it I was nervous as I didn't know what to expect but it was easy to use, had no leaks at all and I could actually forget about it whilst I got on with my working day, what a bonus that is. Will be recommending to all my girlfriends."

"I just wanted to say I'm so happy I went to the Clothes Show Live in December 07, because I bought my Femmecup. I'm always willing to try anything and particularly as this small device would lessen cramps, save me money and help the environment. For the last 2.5 years I have suffered from severe cramps (a fact of getting older I'm told) and took very strong painkillersfor 1-2 days each month. WOW, I am now using my Femmecup for the second time and NO painkillers yet again! No leaks either and far less mess and hassle than using towels and tampons. I am spreading the word . . . "

"Thanks for my order, I got this Femmecup for my sister. I bought one from the clothes show last year for myself. I have to admit, it`s not what I thought I’d buy from there!! It`s brilliant and I wouldn`t want to have to have another period without it!! Thanks. "

"This is my first full month with the  Femmecup and I think it is fab. Although I was a dedicated tampon user recently I found them very drying, and so remembered coming across menstrual cups some time ago. As my husband said this morning "what is the downside if they are more comfortable, less wastage and cheaper in the long run?""
