yeah...I don't know how I waited for so long....the extra money up front was so worth it. I was unsure about spending the $35 (got it at WhFd)..With one income, I thought Dh was going to freak ..."you spent what on a WHATT?" But he was not even interested..."nope don't need to know about that"....
But it paid for itself in about two months. I always thought my flow was super heavy because I was constantly in the bathroom changing or dealing with a leak. But after the cup (which has a convenient measuring side line!) I see how much there actually is. I am at the point where I can tell what is going on and after the second day I can go out and not empty all day...It's like AF never existed....well, except for the no "relations" part..hehe!
So I still have days where I am in too much of a rush or I am half asleep and I get a leak...but not like it used to be. I never had to trim anything either...I just adjust. I told my obgyn about it and she says it is the most amazing thing she has ever heard if...of course I had to explain it about 10 times....I also use the nuva ring and in the beginning I still went on until Sat (new ring day) and I would have to use both at the same time. Not a prob...both flexible, no discomfort. So yeah I'd say I swear by it and I am an advocate for the cup for all my friends and family.
oh, and if it seems gross to some people, I just remind them of what they are sitting in one week a month...not too fun, eh?!?! If you don't mind that then fine...but I sure did. I just feel that it is a time of month we should be celebrating and all that jazz..not complaining..sorry so long...I finally have the pc to myself!
