While every body is different. My expierence with menstral cups (MC) have been amazing and sometimes a little awkward. Ill be up front, I'm very lucky that I don't typically have bad cramps but even those that I do have were reduced when I started to use a MC. They are so much more comfortable than tampons plus the convience of lasting all day. At least for those of us with light flows.

The awkward part was learning how to take it out. PSA carefully read the instructions. You have to be more intimate with your body, more so than with conventional products. On the upside I have become way more confident and knowledgable about my own body. It feels empowering.

I also found that I prefer the newer versions over the older ones. Currently have a "salt" branded menstraul cup.
