Almost just got a hysterectomy because I was tired of my periods ruining my life. Between period panties, tampons, and bleeding through two pads at a time and wearing diapers…yes diapers, this little magical cup just changed my LIFE. I know at first it feels funny to work and get used to all the finger work involved but I’m telling you this thing is a life changer. I feel free! Finally!!! I can’t believe how great it works, I will say I was worried the first few times using it since my period is heaviest days 1-3 and I keep checking the cup more than I should have and could have just left it alone but my period has traumatized me with the messes it’s left me before so I kept trying to empty the cup more than I needed to. But I love this thing and would recommend to anyone to buy it.
