Whats up with menstrual cups?!

Of course they will fit - if they didn't fit women wouldn't wear them!

Your vagina is made to allow a whole human being to pass through so a little menstrual cup is no problem, cups ware smooth so no friction when inserted, and when folded are little different in size to tampons/when open little different in size to expanded tampons. You can see how different folding methods make cups smaller in size when inserting, here - http://community.livejournal.com/menstru… and you can see tampons next to Divacup, here - http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y209/sl…

How big they are depends on what brand and size you get
Widest - large Yuuki - 47mm in width when open and 55mm in length.
Longest - large Divacup - 46mm in width when open and 57mm in length.
Narrowest/shortest - small MeLuna - 40mm in width when open and 40mm in length.

There are size comparison charts here - http://community.livejournal.com/menstru…

Menstrual cups come in different sizes. Mine is about an inch across open and half that when it is folded to put in. In general the hold about twice the volume of tampons, and you have no trash to throw out. They are also much cheaper since one lasts for years. If you still have an intact hymen then they are probably not the best choice. Otherwise they should be fine. You can find measurements online. They can be tricky to get in the first few times, but they are really easy once you figure it out. I find them much more comfortable than tampons since they aren't dry. Good luck.

Dunk a tampon in water, and see how big it can actually get. The largest menstrual cups aren't much larger, and even the smallest cup will hold as much or more than the most absorbent tampon.

There's a trick to using them, but once you've got the hang of it they are so much more comfortable and easy to deal with than tampons.

Actually they are pretty good. I had one for a while, but lost it. YOu kind of fold them to put them in, and once theyre in the open and fit pretty well. I want to get another one actually. Its a lot cheaper than tampons, and they never leak either, which is good too.

used to have one
