Goddess Cup Large/Heavy Flow

Product Review (submitted on 3 August 2018):

I had been introduced to the concept of a menstrual cup a few years ago, and did some half hearted online research a few years later. It was not until a colleague mentioned she had bought one and that it was amazing that I seriously considered getting one myself. The cost was a big factor for me. But once I realized how much money I would be saving each month on tampons and sanitary pads, I was sold. My first experience inserting and removing the cup went well, and my first menstrual cycle with the cup was such a breeze! What a change, to be able to go about my day and know that I only needed to check the cup every 8 hours or so. I literally emptied it twice a day - morning and early evening. Completely life changing. I have had some issues with it over the year or so I have been using this cup. Sometimes I am sure I have inserted it properly and that it has opened fully, only to have leakage. But I have gotten better at checking now. It can also be a little difficult to remove, if it moves a little to high inside your body. But you can grab the tab at the end to start pulling and then grab the base of it. I think my biggest complaint is the staining of the cup itself. I was not expecting that. Mine is now a horrible beige/brown colour. I saw another reviewer mention she bleaches hers with FTN bleach. I might give that a go.
