I’ve been menstruating for over a decade now and have nearly always used pads and in recent years used tampons. The amount of waste always bothered me(and the smell from pads!) as well as the sticky residue some brands of pads ALWAYS ( ;) ) left on my undies.
I was nervous and excited to try this cup. I’m 5’4, 110lbs and have a slim figure. I picked the small as I thought the extra small wouldn't be big enough. Well, I think I could’ve ordered the extra small because the small is a littttle too big for me when I fold it and try to fit it in. I reached out to customer support on help with deciding a size and their answer was basically, “try either small or xsmall!” But I would say, go with the x small if you have a petite frame, you can always size up and buy another. Ill be buying an extra small in the future so it’s not big to fold and put in.
ANOTHER big thing I found out - IF YOUR CERVIX IS SITTING LOW the cup will be hard to fit in since it’s sitting right there. I switched back to pads the few days my cervix sat low, but other than that I used the cup. ALSO-I LOVE the ring, I won’t ever use a cup without it. SO useful!
