I don’t understand why she’s complaining about the length of the stems. You’re suppose to cut them if they’re too long.

[fxchsiia]

Her with the Lunette: “ugh stem too long!”

Her with organicup: “don’t worry you can cut it!”

[fosta]

She was sooo biased about the organicup just because it was organic.

[lilacspectrum]

Also if you hate the stem length...just cut it

[AngeliqueFelice]

Am I the only one who loves a long stem so I'm not playing hide and seek with my menstrual cup while practically doing yoga on the toilet??

[alausanaaa]

don't get why you are so bothered about the stems, you said it yourself you can cut them and fit for your personal needs. some people are happy with longer stems some with short or no stems. the cups come with the long one so you can adjust it

[shardyway]

The only thing I wish had been different about this video was that it be set up as a blind experiment. I feel like based on previously held ideals concerning zero waste and sustainability, there was a clear bias in the organi cups favor. Definitely still a very informative video though! I wasn't aware there were so many different cup options :)

I want to try the diva cup but I'm not even comfortable trying a tampon...🤦‍♀️

I'm sorry, I rarely leave negative comments but this is a truly poorly executed video you need at least one full month per cup to truly get a feel for how it functions. Your cervix can move up and down during your cycle. Also, it seemed like she gauged a few of those off the way the stems felt, which is misleading because they're removable. She didn't talk about her cervical height, lifestyle and how it pertained to cups, or really anything significant at all. Lunette probably leaked more than it would have (or at least seemed that way) because it was her first additional cup, and on her heavy day. It's easy to claim a cup works well once your flow lightens...you need each cup to go through a "trial by fire" to see how they perform when you're at your heaviest.

She stated her personal favorite after a brief try, which only tells us what she subjectively favors at a glance.

I like how she changed the name from menstrual cup to blood cup

This video should be titled : Biased review of menstrual cups.

[sosoleil]

I love how she uses As/Is for the good cause

[ElvisRuth]

Jeez she did the Lunette so dirty. It's so similar to the Organicup. I've used Lunette for a year or two and it's honestly so easy. Don't know why she made the stem thing an issue when she said for a later cup you can just cut them off. Also, don't know why she made the whole point about the Organicup being waste-free when the Lunette is as well. It literally says so on the packaging. I think she needed to do better research and maybe actually read the information about the products and brands.

[nonnieiona]

At first I was disgusted about the thought of a reusable cup but then I heard more great stories and my interest in reusable things got bigger so I tried it myself and WOW. Never want to go back, that cup is working good for me!

*complains about long stem*
later: iT's fInE, yOu cAn JuST cUt iT

[prnstr]

Watching a buzzfeed video about menstrual cups while being on your period = *FUN* ! 😂

[BubbletronSpaceCadet]

I think you would have gotten a better feel for the cups if you used one for a full week. Because yoyr cirvix moves up and down throughout periods so that could cause discomfort. Also you can cut the stem if they are too long. You can always check the suction by running your finger around the base when inserted to see if it is fully open

[YogabyNanda]

Period cups are one of the best products I ever purchased

[sammykenny]

I use a Saalt cup, it’s awesome. 10/10, plus it helps get period supplies to women in developing countries.

[laurad]

Literally on my period Rn. Perfect timing lmao
