Trueee. I remember when I got period cramps for the first time when I was in middle school. I was in an art lesson and all of a sudden my tummy and my vagina felt like they were gonna explode. I was crying so much and everyone was looking at me so I went to the school office and the receptionist refused to send me home because she thought I was faking it. Eventually I was screaming so much that she called my mum. When I walked out of the back room in the office there were like 5 other kids who were staring at me in shock 😂 That was probably the worst day at middle school I ever had lol

[@ems8097]

Omg when u sneeze u give birth to a bloody jellyfish once in French class I got bad cramps and I just curled up in a ball and the teacher asked me if I wanted to go to the nurse and I was like yesssss pls and then I got some pain killers and I went back to class and the teacher stopped me and said “honey if ur cramps are that bad go home I will email the work u miss” AND I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT ❤️

Helena P. Well you must talk to your doctor bc if your not a Virgin you can definitely wear a tampon other then that you must suffer from the “Sahara desert” affect so talk to your doctor bc ain’t no way you don’t have vaginal secretion bc that’s what normal vagina’s produce...Some People call it “Wet wet” so yeah go get that checked out sis 💋 PS. A tampon can actually be worn up to 3 hours depending on your flow (Any time longer You have a higher risk of catching TSS Which stand for TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME which will later bring on other complications) and if your actually flowing upon usage of that tampon how can it not fit in and tampons are much more smaller than an actual penis so I’m gonna take a long shot and say “You are a VIRGIN” with an intact HYMEN bc ain’t no way you flowing and it doesn’t slide right in especially “Tampon PEARL easy glide” 😳

As a gynecologist I came upon this video and would like to give some tips If you are able to feel your menstrual cup it may not be in correctly or be the wrong side Sea sponges shouldn’t be unbearable itchy because this might mean you have a further problem such as a yeast infection Menstrual cups should last nearly a full day , if this isn’t the case then you may have an extremely heavy flow that might need to be checked out or it may not be inserted correctly

Are cups good?

@@AsthaSinhaYT menstrual cups do take a while to get used to but personally, i love it because it lasts longer than tampons and pads, is eco friendly, has a lower rate of tss than tampons, can contain a larger flow, and you don’t feel it throughout the day if inserted properly!

I’m gonna say this right now. Tampons and pads should be free or prices lowered. It’s something every female has to go through and we spend at least $100 on them, in a year. Something that’s and hygienic should be cheaper in stores. Edit: You guys are bringing different things into this. Soap, toilet paper, food...that’s different. In this case, the video is talking about periods, so my comment was made around period products. If this was a video about alternate food, soap, and toilet paper, this comment would be made around that. Please, take into consideration that this comment is based off of period products. I understand that food and items like that may be apart of your argument, but that’s a different story for a different time. I would really appreciate it if you guys kept your arguments with my belief around period products. Not food, clothes, toilet paper ext.

Just because she has some issues doesn't mean she shouldn't try new things.

[@TheUnbeatable93]

But her opinion might reach a lot of young girls / women who are then afraid to use the cup. She kinda makes it out to be a horrible option when actually the exact opposite is the case. It is such a great alternative and this video just makes it seem like a painful and inconvenient period product.

[@rayag1223]

I am not going to wear tampons. I want to, but there has been times where family has been close to getting TSS even before the 8 hours or whatever was up.

[@leefyhill]

Menstrual cups are literally the best. I've had one for 5 years now and I'm never going back. Had to get one because one time my period was so heavy I couldn't leave my house because I had to change my heavy flow night time pad AND my tampon almost hourly. It was a nightmare. The cup kinda saved my social life.

[@tresfoil]

arrkku how tho lol if your flow was that heavy don't you have to empty the cup pretty frequently? The whole emptying it and reusing thing really isn't convenient to me lol especially if you have to empty it in public

[@robynjones57]

arrkku wow what cup do you use? It must hold a lot more than mine😂😂

[@leefyhill]

that was luckily just a one-time thing, my flow is kinda normal now haha But I still empty it every couple of hours on my heaviest day. It's really not a big deal. In public I just empty it in the toilet and put it either straight back in or wipe it with tissues and then put it back. It's really not that hard once you get the hang of it, it takes just as little time as changing a pad or a tampon. Also if you get your period you have to use -something- and still change it. Over time these cups are less expensive and also environmentally friendly.

[@aylaeweka5165]

grey egghead I have to change my super plus tampon every 40 minutes. Diva cup is definitely worth it. You will have a struggle getting used to it like most do but I definitely recommend. I bought one and I am never going back. It’s not as bad as it seems and if you really think you will have dryness even if you are on your period use a water based lube and not oil because oil breaks down silicon.😬😊

[@6thgraderfriends]

I know! Even people with a heavy flow leave it in for like 5-8 hours, not 30 minutes.

[@RavenBells]

I think she got the Lena cup, which I have, and the little booklet inside recommends checking it every 30 minutes or so when you first use it until you get used to how fast it fills up

[@Spicy-Raven]

[@dariakerr1207]

[@stephanieann6622]

She has excessive bleeding because of her health issues. You'd be surprised how much blood comes out with the health problems she does. It's so bad. I usually stay home when I bleed because of how much comes out.

[@vanessaalvarado2680]

This video is TERRIBLE representation for menstrual cups. First of all, if you need to empty a menstrual cup every thirty minutes you're probably dying. Even with a very heavy flow, with the right cup, you can go hours without taking it out. Sure it's not easy for everyone at first but it's totally worth it. It's comfortable when you have it in correctly, convenient, free of chemicals, and environmentally friendly. Menstrual cups are a great option and this video does not do them justice.

[@TnupdegSupt]

Thank you Kanye, very cool.

[@DenaMarie90]

It’s extremely inconvenient. That’s literally everyone’s complaint... you have to empty it, rinse and reinsert. If you’re in public, you have to go into a stall, remove your cup, dump the cup, pull your pants back up, go out to the sink, rinse your cup, go back into a stall, pull down your pants again and reinsert the cup. That takes twice as long as changing a tampon that you throw away. I think menstrual cups are 50/50. There’s women who love them and women who hate them... I hate them.

[@sarahld6360]

Dena Barton they have wipes you can get so you don’t have to go through all that trouble, you can take it out, dump it, wipe it clean, reinsert and throw the wipes away and you’re done

[@Thewickedmusician]

Dena Barton and you don’t have to rinse it out every time, taking some tp and wiping off the inside/outside works for me. I used to be pads only cause tampons hurt, but now I only use the cup and usually a liner. If you take the time to know about the different cups then you will find one that works for you.

[@Thewickedmusician]

Vanessa Alvarado yeah, she didn’t give them a chance whatsoever

[@cupoffairytea]

Honestly, Lara should have been educated way more on the cup. There’s a learning curve to it that takes time. I use the Ruby Cup, my first period was a bunch of trial and error, a lot of error. My second period, I had it down. I know I believe I watched a video where she talked about having vaginismus (I believe it was her). If she still deals with tightness, she needs to try a water based lube. Because I have very tight and strong pelvic muscles. I have to use a water based lube because the moisture from my period is never enough. She also may have been folding its way that’s harder for her to insert. There’s a couple ways to do it. Last thing, even though she said the stem was short, she said she could feel it when she sat down. So she either didn’t fully insert it, or her cervix drops lower than average. She may need to cut the stem. I had to do this, I took mine all the way off because my cervix drops down extremely low when my period starts. It won’t get lost up there, there’s no where for it to go. She was kind of making me irritated with how little she knew and how little of an effort she was making to try it out. They’re meant to be worn for up to 12 hours. I have a pretty moderate, slightly heavy flow, and I literally only change it once a day. I hope she tries it again, and maybe she tries some new techniques. Because once you get it down, it’s so easy, and so much less of a hassle than pass and tampons. Also if she has an issue cleaning them, you can always use toilet paper, or even invest in the cleaning wipes that I think Lena Cup sells. And if not there’s plenty of other cup brands some I know for sure sell little wipes to clean your cup with on the go. Sorry for such a long comment I’m sure no one will read it anyway.

[@popples9701]

I read it

[@Lex-pp7lt]

I also use a cup and I think you hit this one right on the nail. I use wipes when I'm at work it works out just fine. It is trial and error but I'd you truly want to help the environment and save money, it's totally worth it!

[@audreyjean2215]

I thought she was so whiny.

[@IckleBloo]

Audrey Jean I agree, it seems like she genuinely just likes to whine. As someone who uses Menstrual cups, yes the first day you put it in its a bit odd, however she didn't even try, saying "I give this five minutes then I'm taking it out" isn't going to get you anywhere. However with her endometriosis she shouldn't use any period product that is inserted because it can make it worse.

[@audreyjean2215]

IckleBloo Agreed.

[@brandypavano3424]

[@stephaniemazvita]

@@mahimaupadhyay1447 then you need to get the hang of it😂 just kidding but I think it’s a 1-3 cycles worth of a learning curve - like understanding your vagina in general along with the cup meant for you, otherwise before that you can use a cup with a backup like a panty liner on

[@rebeccafournier8079]

[@jasminej.9731]

Kaiya 。。 honestly, you get used to it! I had trouble at first figuring out how to put it in but I love it now, it's really convinient. I guess if you get grossed out by seeing your blood on a tampon or pad it might be a little gross, but I didn't have a problem.

[@rebeccafournier8079]

Jasmine J. Yeah exactly you get used to it its just hard when you're in a public bathroom or else its perfect

Rebecca Fournier Do you ever have a problem with cramps getting worse when you use it? I really only use mine for swimming, because when I use it outside of the water, I get back pain from it.

[@rebeccafournier8079]

Justina Kenyon I actually think that they make my cramps less worst than with a tampon Idk if its just me but I use it everytime I get my periods and well Im more free to do things that reduce the cramps so personnally it helps me

[@NeccoWecco]

To the girl who used the menstrual cup: The cup creates a suction so nothing leaks out even if its full

[@AmyFutch]

Not true, mine leaks when it get full. But that doesn't happen very often, just on my heaviest day.

[@giulianacesare9841]

Maybe your cup is not large enough. When it sits inside the canal, it actually reduces its capacity a little. But of course, when it's all the way full the cup loses the suction.

[@nickia7578]

When it's full gravity pulls the cup down and breaks the suction thus leaking... but Lena does have a strong seal so 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@cyberdollie825]

NeccoWecco that’s why you have to take it out over the toilet, Incase you spill some out of the cup and if you somehow fill the whole cup then bleed out of it

[@Lizzy-gf9rn]

Sira Mea I was taught to call it vagina ..

[@siramea]

The vulva is the outer part of the female genitals, it includes the opening of the vagina, the labia majora (outer lips), the labia minora (inner lips), and the clitoris. The vagina is the internal muscular tube (also called birth canal) from the cervix to the opening, only the opening of the vagina can be seen externally when lips are opened. If you get a bikini wax, for example, you are not getting your vagina waxed, as some people would erroneously say.

@@crazycrafts5945 true. Although you're much less likely to get TSS from a sea sponge. When pulling out a dry tampon, you sometimes get bits of cotton left behind and that is the breeding ground for the bacteria. That and microtears that occur when tampons are removed; if you have the bacteria and you have a vaginal microtear the TSS causing bacteria can get in your bloodstream (I think/assume that's how a teen died after using her first ever tampon - she must've already had the bacteria and tampon removal caused a microtear and the bacteria got in her bloodstream).

Lara, give more effort because all the other girls did.

[@luciedaudelin5567]

Gymnasthailey122 lmao

[@klaradedkova2468]

It probably hurt her, she has vulvodynia, so I think she just got frustrated from the pain, honestly what I don't understand is why she didn't try the period panties, it seems like a better alternative for her

[@mchobbit2951]

If she has vulvodynia, how does she rely on TAMPONS? If you can stand relying on tampons, you can stand the cup. I cannot handle tampons and while I don't like the cup either, it's less uncomfortable than a tampon for me.

[@emmas689]

Also I have the cup she had and it should not be the first one she ever bought. It’s wayy less flexible than other cups.

[@jackietorres2444]

Hey it’s Lucie 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 well said!

[@heatherparks9280]

I would suggest the Ruby Cup. It might be more comfortable, and when you buy one they donate one to a girl in a 3rd world country so she can stay in school.

[@inaynaycoleman]

Did anyone else think it might be a bad idea for Lara to try the DivaCup since she has vulvodynia?

[@Nicoratboy]

She seems to be getting better about it but i was concerned

[@isabellaginther8550]

What? I am sorry I don't what that is

[@jokl89]

I love menstrual cups. The thing is, there are a shitload of different cups with different diameter, length, firmness and capacity. Not every women and every cup are a great match. It really makes sense to get to know your own body and read into the specifications of different cups. And most unfortunately the descriptions of the companies are utter crap. Your size or hight really doesn't translate to your vag. It'd be like choosing your shoe size according to your body type.

[@jokl89]

Tiffany Marie Love that you found your cup! I like my Lunette and my Luneale :)

[@Kayla-ci5nm]

How do you wash it in public without like, getting blood all over that sink? I've wanted to try a cup for a while, but I was still confused on that. ( i know you probably pour blood into the toilet, but how do you clean it after?)

[@nicolevan2870]

You only have to empty the cup every 12 hours, so I've never run into the issue of emptying my cup in public. I do it when I get up in the morning and when I get home at night. If at a rare moment you would have to empty it in a public restroom just bring a water bottle in with you and rinse it off that way.

[@scarlettcloete9457]

The woman was trying to insert it instead of it sticking onto the outside

[@jokl89]

I use sea sponges and they are THE BEST, but you are supposed to wet them slightly before inserting!!

[@pluteorgh]

So?

[@rae1500]

nuggets nuggets Exactly, they are running out of ideas. Also a lot of people here are complaining about how Lara (girl who got the period cup) reviewed the cup. She has multiple conditions, instead of going to another one of buzz feeds MANY vids on these products, they sit here and complain in the comments about her.

[@jayuspruitt2034]

Idk why but I'm obsessed with Kuwilileni's voice. 💗💗

[@madisontaylor8368]

The Doctors did an episode about the sponge as a period product. They said that the sponge soaks up things in the ocean and you can never 100% say that it has nothing bad in it. They said not to use it.

[@gomika]

Madison Taylor yeah I'm surprised they would advise ppl to use them. I personally use a diva cup and I only spent $40 once 2 years ago. I wear it was all day and I don't have to be scared of Toxic Shock Syndrome, don't have to run to a bathroom with crinkly pad wrapping in the middle of the day....it's just perfect

[@shoshiscreations7481]

I heard it's hard to insert and remove sometimes.

[@JustyMe]

Miriam T um... doctors are not dermatologists? It makes perfect sense that it's not the best idea to put something like this in you.

[@mrskaren7063]

When I was ten my mom gave me the “talk” because I had been having period symptoms and she gave me pads and tampons to put in my backpack for school, she also MADE me wear Thinx underwear,she got the thinx underwear idea from my friends mom who’s daughter had used them for her period. And a week later,I got my period. So props to my mom for preparing me .So trust me,thinx underwear is actually really good. I’m 17 now

Lara doesn't even know how a menstrual cup even works 🙄 you only need to empty it in the morning and before you go to bed. It doesn't leak. I'm 15 and I've used it for 2 periods. It's not that hard.

[@S_u_n_Flower_]

I don't know anything about diva cups like won't you damage you for leaving in it for that long

[@rikke8141]

@@S_u_n_Flower_ Max is 12 hours, after that you should take it out. It will not damage you at all to leave it in that long. However, tampons should NEVER be kept in for more than MAX 3 hours, as they can travel and in worse case scenario cause you a lot of damage. If you feel like you can't wear pads, diva cups are the safest alternative.

[@aderyngibson6331]

Rikke tampons are 8 hours 😑

[@Xxx-bx5bn]

cassidy Velazquez girl I’m 13 and I’ve had my period for two years and this diva cup saved me!

[@rikke8141]

@@aderyngibson6331 Fair enough, I'm guessing that is true in the US, however, in Denmark, the health ministry and all doctors recommend never above 3 hours, as it can cause issues if you use it for longer. Perhaps there's different rule per different countries, much like there is with food and which chemicals you can use.
