Meet the New Reusable Softcup

I have found something better than the disposable Instead Softcups. I know I have been blogging for 3 months now on how great these cups are. Well, now let me tell you about the  Reusable Instead Softcup.

The New Reusable Softcup offers a safe, cost effective, eco friendly alternatives to tampons, and disposable pads. The Reusable Softcup can be used for your entire length of your menstrual period. It is still recommended you empty atleast every 12 hours.

 I have been using the Reusable ones for the past 2 months, and love them! They are softer than the disposable, purple, and not wasteful. And you still get all the benefits that you get with the disposable one. But you wear one cup for the length of your period. And it cost you about $3 per period. So even less waste than the disposable ones.

So if pink isn't your color, try the purple ones.

One Month- One Period- One Cup

I have not seen the reusable ones on store shelves yet. But you can purchase these straight from the Instead Softcup website right here.

A few questions you may have:

How do I clean the reusable Softcup? You can rinse with just water, or if you prefer a mild unscented soap. I used water and had no issues.

What can I do with the reusable softcup if I choose not wear it the whole time? wash, dry completely and store in a ventilated container. DO NOT store in a sealed container, or bag.

How do I dispose of the reusable softcup? in the trash like you would any other feminine products. Not in the toilet.

I'm worried about TSS from wearing it for 12 hours a day for the length of my period? Instead Softcups have not been linked to TSS. They do not absorb like tampons. They collect so therefore no risk of TSS.

Have more questions? Leave them in a comment or go right here. 

I want to thank Evofem for allowing me to write,and review a product that has changed my life. Before I was even contacted by the company I had already wrote this blog post, Tampons vs Cups. So I was super excited about the opportunity. All the ladies have been wonderful, and so helpful.

Meet the New Reusable Softcup

Mess-Free Sex on your period.

This post is going to be hard for me. Not because it's about sex. But because I don't have experience with the softcups during sex. But the winner of the softcups last month, Troopetrie surely does. And she was kind enough to share her experience right here. I have to say I really never thought about her situation.
Do you think she was able to "trick" her husband?


I have read you can have clean, comfortable sex with Softcups. And your partner more than likely won't even feel its there.


 Will you be one of those women that will be celebrating <3 Valentines Day <3 on your period?


That will make alot of people happy.
 
I know alot of women & men just refuse to .....you know, do it during that time of the month. But what happens if it it  your  Anniversary, Honeymoon, Wedding night or if its the only time your special someone is home? You don't have to let your period ruin it.






Can you have sex with the Divacup? No, The DivaCup is bell-shaped and worn low near the vaginal opening. It should be removed before intercourse.

Can you have sex with tampons? NO.

Can you have sex with Instead Softcups? Yes, you can have clean, comfortable sex with the Softcup in place. Although individual experience may vary, most likely neither you nor your partner will feel the Softcup. To help avoid leakage on heavy flow days, we recommend inserting a new Softcup before intercourse.


**Please remember that Softcup is not a contraceptive and does not protect you from pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections.

Mess-Free Sex on your period.

Cramps~Bloating~PMS

(picture source)

Whoa! Could've fooled us.

Do you have horrible cramps during your period?

(picture source)

Do you feel so bloated you can hardly fit in your jeans?

                                                                                                  (picture source)

Raise your hand if you would try anything to get rid of those miserable unpleasant cramps and fit in your jeans while on your period?

(Picture source)

Looks like everyone.

 No one in their right mind likes to hurt. I use to think cramping was just part of being on your period. I always had them, sometimes I would just take pain medication to get rid of them. But for me as soon as I removed the tampon, I didn't have that cramping feeling. So when I learned about Instead Softcups, I was willing to try them....I thought what could it hurt. If I didn't like them I could always go back to using tampons.
But if they helped my cramps just a little I would be happy. 

(picture source)

I know I have said over and over Instead Softcups have changed my periods. The only regret I have is not finding out about these sooner.

When I first started using the menstrual cups  I noticed immediately my cramping wasn't nearly as bad as when I used tampons. And now 7 months later I can honestly say I hardly cramp at all. I don't have to take pain medication anymore to relieve the pain.

So if you are one of those women that's still  unsure for whatever reason you have, doesn't the fact that you could change how your periods are make you wanna try them?

Put aside the fact that you may get a drop of blood on your hand

and if you can't you could always get some of these 

(picture source)

Or just do this and go on about your day

(picture source)

 Put aside what your friends, or husband may think. It's YOUR PERIOD, and it doesn't have to be miserably painful. 

Don't be afraid to try something new. It may just change your periods for the better. Then you will be able to share with your girlfriends how they have changed YOUR period.  : )


**Sample packs can be ordered right here, and they are $2.50 a pack, and you even get free shipping :)

How Comfortable is it? And how long can it be worn?

Are Instead Softcups comfortable?

I have had a few women ask me this.

Simple short answer, YES.
Let me first start off by saying when I first bought these at CVS, I remember getting to the van and as soon as all kids were buckled up I had to open the box and check them out. I was really excited. Until...

I saw this...


(picture source)

Ok, I'm not going to lie, my first thought was...There's no way!

Its huge.

How could this ever be comfortable.

And how in the world am I going to get it in. Probably what you may be thinking right now.
Well you insert it by pinching it like this,
 
makes you feel better, right?

Well I'm here to tell you they are comfortable.

Fact is when inserted properly they are so comfortable you don't even feel its there.

These are far more comfortable than any tampon that I have ever tried. And I have tried most. :) Of course the first few times you try the softcup it may take awhile. It did for me. It is a learning experience.

 Remember like with anything new it takes time.

And trust me It's so worth it. When I say these have changed my periods they really have.


How long can Instead Softcups be worn?

Up to 12 hours.  Now that doesn't mean on heavy days you can wear it for 12 hours. Usually for me its about 8 hours for heavy day. But we are all different and its trial & error. Just like with anything else. But it surely beats changing tampons every 2-4 hours.

You can also wear them overnight, in the pool, on the soccer field, riding your bike, any sport or activity.

I personally love that I don't have to watch the clock so much. I can go to the grocery store, library and post office and not have to worry about it.

When we went to the beach, they were a lifesaver or should I say vacation saver? :)

If you have any questions at all please leave me a comment or you can visit Instead Softcup.


**Over the next month I'm going to go over all the ways Softcups have changed my periods.
