1. Money Saver: After reading reviews I went with the Lena Cup, which cost me $40 . When I would use other menstrual products I would spend about $10 a month. Now I spend $40 for a product that will last me for about 10 years!
2. Saving the Planet: Since your cup will last you 10 years compared to 4 hours with other products, you will be making this earth a little greener. Instead of throwing the product away after every use, you will just have to dump out the contents town the toilet every 12 hours.
3. Minimal Cramps: Since the cup sits along your vaginal wall it will relieve those horrible cramps that come every month. I would have such horrible pain due to cramps and this has been a life saver for me.
4. Healthier For Your Body: the cups are made out of a medical grade silicone, rather than bleached cotton and other fibers like the other products on the market. Tampons do not have to be free of chemicals in order to make it on the market, so who knows what kind of chemicals go in your body. Your body is also not in danger for TTS like you are with a tampon.
5. Easy Day by Day Use: Since you only need to empty it out twice a day you can enjoy your days a little more. I usually dump and clean mine during my night time shower and when I wake up in the morning. When traveling using a menstrual cup makes it so much easier. You don’t have to pack all of your feminine products or have to find a garbage can when you go to the bathroom. The best part is that you pretty much never leak! I have not had an accident yet, I trust this thing so much that I would have the confidence to wear white skinny jeans while on my heaviest day.
6. Healthier Lady Parts: The cup doesn’t throw of your natural PH level like tampons or pads do. They also do not cause dryness like a tampon would either. It doesn’t really mess with the nature of your vagina since it’s only to do one job as it should, collect blood once a month.
7. Easy Use: I thought it was going to be so much harder to use, but it honestly isn’t. I have added the video below on how to use one. It’s also easy clean up, if you’re out in public and have to dump yours I would recommend going into a bathroom where there is a sink next to the toilet. It will make life easier and you can just clean then re-insert right away.
You will have to deep clean the cup and I do this before the start and after the end of my period. All you have to do is get a pot and boil water, once it’s boiling put the cup in there for about 2 minutes to disinfect the cup.
Here is a short video explaining how to insert the cup properly
I ended up choosing the Lena Cup because it came with two different sizes. One small and one that is slightly larger. It is recommended that women who have never had a child to use the smaller one and women who have had children use the larger size. I also like how they are made in the United States, and it’s a great quality product.

What you will find in your box, if you choose the one with 2 different sizes is a small cup and a large cup, 100% cotton breathable totes to keep them in, and an instruction book. They have different selections as well if you need something for sensitivity or would like to purchase a beginners cup.
I have teamed up with Lena Cup and they have offered a coupon code to try out the Lena Cup. You can use code CONAMORLENA to save $5 on your first cup at lenacup.com and so you can also have a better experience at that time of the month!
So if you have been wanting to make the change I wholeheartedly recommend you to, you won’t regret it!
Con Amor,
