If you’re looking for a reusable sanitary product, then a menstrual cup is a great choice. Comfortable, easy to use and reliable.
What is a menstrual cup
If you haven’t seen or heard of a menstrual cup before, then you might be wondering what on earth one is. To put it simply they are a soft cup made from medical grade silicone. This is then worn in the vagina during your period.
Unlike tampons, menstrual cups are not absorbent. This means they don’t soak up your bodies natural lubricants, and won’t dry you out. To use you simply insert and then empty into the toilet at intervals during the day. You can rinse them out and then reinsert them.
You want me to put what where?!
When you first see a menstrual cup, you might be put off by the size or the idea of inserting it into yourself. In reality, though, they are surprisingly comfortable once you have them in. The cups are soft which means that you can fold them, in order to insert and then they ‘pop’ open once inside.
Once in you shouldn’t be able to feel them. They usually sit lower than a tampon. Some people find that they prefer to cut off the stem, as you shouldn’t be able to feel this once it’s in. To remove you break the seal and gently pull it out.
Three sizes
These cups come in three sizes. Small, which if for women under 30 who haven’t had a vaginal birth. Or Large which is for women over 30 or those that have given birth vaginally. (Because, sadly, as we all know, having babies and getting older doesn’t do much for our muscle tone down there.)
There’s isn’t a huge difference in size between the large and the small, but those few extra mm make all the difference. We also now have a mini cup for younger women, which is smaller again.
- Teen diameter 39 mm diameter, 57 mm high with stem, 43 mm without stem; volume 18 ml
- Small diameter 40 mm; length 70 mm high with stem; 45 mm without stem; volume 25 ml
- Large diameter 45 mm; length 70 mm high with stem; 50 mm without stem; volume 30 ml
Entry-level menstrual cup
This particular cup is an entry-level menstrual cup, it is made from medical grade silicone. The mould leaves a seam on the outside of the cup. This should not affect comfort or durability of the menstrual cup.

Great product, comfortable and does exactly what it needs to do, will definitely be buying more. Great service and quick delivery from NappyneedZ too. Thanks

Great

This was so much easier to use than I expected. I haven’t leaked, or felt it once it’s inside me, and it’s super easy to insert and take out and clean. Never going back to tampons! Would recommend trimming the tab if you can feel it once it’s in- makes all the different. Arrived quickly and discreetly, just love all round.

bought my first cup love it love the prompt service and delivery
Rhiannon L. (verified owner) –
I’ve ordered one of each size on two separate orders and have found the delivery to be professional and timely. The price and product are fantastic!
A note to buyers: I am 31yo without children and have found the large cup is too big (i.e. the cup was still partially folded when opened.) If you are in a similar position as me, my suggestion would be to buy both sizes just in case.
Anna M. (verified owner) –
I ten you purchased a me trial cup and it is the best thing ever for my periods. It makes it all a lot easier and tidy. Would highly recommend buying one.
Rebecca B. (verified owner) –
Great product.
Lisa T. (verified owner) –
Great product. Easy to use once you get the hang of it and it gives me more confidence that there won’t be any leakage.
Natalie W. (verified owner) –
I recently purchased a menstrual cup off you and am very happy with it. It seems to be as good as a moon cup that I have had in the past. Thank you!
Kate B. (verified owner) –
Wonderful product! Wish I’d begun using one years ago!
Gina S. (verified owner) –
Delivery was fast, and I’m just getting used to using it!
Hannii S. (verified owner) –
I’ve yet to use my new menstrual cup as I haven’t got my period yet, the only time I have ever been excited to get my period!
From what I have heard from friends though, this cup is magical!
inkky (verified owner) –
I decided to buy one of these cups to see whether it would suit me before spending money on a more expensive one. I’m very satisfied, and don’t think I’ll even need to purchase a new one any time soon. Even though these cups are a fraction of the price of other more well known brands, they are really good.
Happy p. (verified owner) –
Gosh I wish I had known about these years ago! All that money and comfort lost! Great product :blush:
Stephanie B. (verified owner) –
excellent service and price thank you
Lisa G. (verified owner) –
Still getting used to it but I know it’s perfect for me
Jo A. (verified owner) –
Wonderful. Cost little potential to save me lots of $$
Sara V. (verified owner) –
It arrived in a sealed courier bag however the actual packaging itself was ripped open which was a bit of a let down. Considering what i ordered i wld hate to think it was pre used?. Other than that the product itself is great.
Tracey D. (verified owner) –
I was surprised how quickly my order arrived. Still getting the hang of using it but very happy as I have thought about trying them for ages. These are the best priced ones on the market so was happy to buy & try. Very pleased I did.
Saskia B. (verified owner) –
Thanks
Cherise B. (verified owner) –
Awesome service and product!
Svetlana S. (verified owner) –
my order was delivered the next day (to Christchurch) 🙂 very friendly staff
Sinothando M. (verified owner) –
I’m totally new to using a cup for my cycle…still not quite comfortable when I used it for the first time. I know I’ll get better at positioning it just right for my body. Definitely glad I bought one; affordable and quick delivery.
Saffron B. (verified owner) –
Not many cups are available at this price, seems to be a good product too but I haven’t used it yet. This one is squishier/not as firm as the Mooncup brand, which is a good thing in my experience.

The first use was a bit of a disaster I INTENTIONALLY put it on my cervix and I got a bit stuck but I figured it out and now its a breeze… Don’t put it in as far as it can go just about halfway or three quarters of the way so you don’t feel like something is sticking out. Love the product though for $10 especially!
Mal G. (verified owner) –
Fast delivery. Great product
Stephanie K. (verified owner) –
Very happy with menstrual cup. Smaller size is good and more comfortable to use.
Christie (verified owner) –
I have had a moon cup before and I actually prefer this one and at this cost!
Rachel M. (verified owner) –
looks great, havent tried it yet
Bridget T. (verified owner) –
Pleased with this product, arrived promptly and stores in a lovely little silky bag. It’s very useful for when I know I’ll be out for hours with potentially no access to a bathroom eg tramping, camping, fishing etc so would recommend for active and outdoorsy women as its easy to use and take care of.
Annie L. (verified owner) –
I found it a bit difficult trying to find the correct way to fold it for insertion. As with anything new product it takes practice to get use to it.
Caitlin T. (verified owner) –
A great product
Stormy-lee M. (verified owner) –
I really like it, its exactly as described but unfortunately the smaller size was still too big for me. But ill hold onto just in case 🙂
Renee W. (verified owner) –
I didn’t expect to like it so much! I love that it’s environmentally friendly and cost effective. It was also really easy to use.
Florence A. (verified owner) –
Super easy to use, so much better than tampons and pads! It did take me awhile to get the hang of things but so worth it
Kimberley P. (verified owner) –
I was disgusted by the idea of cups when I first heard of them a few years ago. I decided to finally give them a go for financial reasons and can honestly say that I won’t be going back to buying disposable products again.
The service was amazing, with a Facebook pm being answered after I thought I was having issues using it. I have recommended the product to multiple people already and I’ve only used it for one cycle
Jennifer E. (verified owner) –
Have wanted to try a menstrual cup for awhile but never wanted to pay $60!! The cup works great and isn’t as disgusting as I thought it would be, I actually feel more knowledgable about my body then before. I will be recommending to everyone!
Cavina S. (verified owner) –
First time I’ve used a menstural cup and it was easy to use, I will recommend to others. Product arrived really quickly too, Thank you.
Katie B. (verified owner) –
Only just had my first period with the cup. Struggled to get it to open but finally managed after a few tries. After taking it out I now can’t get it to pop open again. I’m sure it’s just a learning curve though.
Gemma L. (verified owner) –
Quick easy purchase and delivery. Like the product thanks.
Bonnie S. (verified owner) –
Great product, fast postage
Marie S. (verified owner) –
First couple of days worked well on third I had little problem didn’t get it in right place…google it and sorted out problem
catriona m. (verified owner) –
First of all very fast delivery! Ordered on Monday morning arrived the next day. I have a very heavy flow due to endometriosis I used a combination of super pads and super tampons to manage my flow.
The menstrual cup is so much better. I’m still getting use to it, learning how to insert in correctly etc so I have had some leakage. However, I have been using it in conjunction with washable pads to manage this. As I get better at inserting it I have had much less almost no leakage.
I highly recommend this product even for the very heavy flow women out there.
Rebecca A. (verified owner) –
It looks good but I am a bit nervous about using it. The first 2 times it didn’t work well. So I gave up until next time.
Rangi H. (verified owner) –
Its definitely worth the hype for cleanliness while in use and it’s super easy to clean afterwards. My only down fall with it is getting use to inserting it comfortably and removing it quickly. This will come with more use and practice, I’m sure.
Kelly (verified owner) –
Great cup. First time user and has been a great experience!
Michelle H. (verified owner) –
Easy to use
TC (verified owner) –
Great price & service – Thanks
Justine C. (verified owner) –
New to product but found not as scary as thought! Feels good to be saving $ and the environment!
Brooke L. (verified owner) –
Had to give up on it after a couple of days. It’s difficult to get into the right position and there were a few too many leaks for my liking. Maybe I’ll give it another try in future but it’s too inconvenient at the moment
danielle t. (verified owner) –
Haven’t used yet
But happy with product thanks
Teniq –
Excellent price!! Love how affordable they are. Have used mine for a year and never going back these are awesome! do the same as every other brand too
Briaane D. (verified owner) –
Nice texture and colour, however this cup is very soft and I have found it difficult to pop open once inserted, so shall be looking for a firmer cup.
Emily G. (verified owner) –
LOVE IT!
Allyne R. (verified owner) –
Fast shipment, easy payment procedure, good deals, high quality products, good communication. Will definitely recommend and buy again!
Emalia L. (verified owner) –
This is great!! Really glad to an entry level option – would not have made the huge jump to investment without this.
Emma P. (verified owner) –
Takes a bit of getting used to when putting it in and taking it out. I will probably cut the stem off as I can feel it at times. I haven’t been brace enough to use it when exercising but otherwise so far, so good.
Karen E. (verified owner) –
Wonderful. Wish I knew about them earlier, feel so much better about using them and not pads/tampons!
Suzanne B. (verified owner) –
I finally gave in and tried out the menstrual cups. I specifically went looking for the cheapest option as I couldn’t justify $30-$50 for something I wasn’t sure about. I bought the $10 large and small cup and am now sold on the idea. Definitely worth trying them out. I have already recommended a friend buy a couple of these ones to try.
Pam M. (verified owner) –
Easy to use and surprisingly comfortable.
Chloe H. (verified owner) –
Highly recommended this cup. My other ones are quite long and uncomfortable to wear but this one is like nothing is there. It’s amazing. And such an awesome price too. Will be buying another one 🙂
Amy D. (verified owner) –
Love it! Once I figured out how to use.. It’s comfortable, hardly know it’s there, and great for the environment- my first monthly where I have produced no sanitary waste at all. So worth it.
Andrea D. (verified owner) –
Quick delivery.
Bailey D. (verified owner) –
Such great value for money, I can’t believe I didn’t invest in a menstrual cup earlier. I kid you not, using the menstrual cup made me almost forget I was on my period and made me excited to have my period again just so I could use it! Can’t recommend these enough.
Ashley D. (verified owner) –
I purchased this cup as it is affordable and I wasn’t sure it would be for me. Since using this, I don’t think I will go back to tampons and pads. I have had no leakage. It catches everything and holds more than a tampon. It’s as comfortable or maybe even more comfortable than a tampon. Great buy.
Harriet W. (verified owner) –
I found his painful. Maybe because it’s cheap the more expensive ones might be more comfortable I’m not not sure. Hated it and threw both sizes away
Vicki B. (verified owner) –
Wonderful, no more tampons yay
alison (verified owner) –
I am very happy with purchase. Super quick delivery. First time cup user and I am converted. Took a few tries to get right but I will never go back to tampons. Fantastic price. Thank you.
Erika S. (verified owner) –
The delivery was very fast, got it after two days!! Very hapy with my purshase!

Anna M. (verified owner) –
Thx
Jessye M. (verified owner) –
Amazing doesn’t feel like I have anything in like I do with a tampon – easy to figure out – have had two vaginak births but opted to buy one in each size to see and small seems ok as I have good muscles down there :joy::joy: have recommended to all my friends ! Very happy with this product
Makesha C. (verified owner) –
Once getting used to it this product is easy to use, reasonably priced and I would recommend this company to friends and family.
Kelly (verified owner) –
The menstural cup is a fantastic purchase. Wanted to try a cup so started with this one as it was cheap. Have not had any issues so far. Wish I knew of cups years ago.
A R. (verified owner) –

Rachael G. (verified owner) –
Takes a bit of time getting used to this new product, but I like that it collects all menstrual fluids unlike a tampon which absorbs all bodily fluids
Shayna T. (verified owner) –
Have being trying to use this with not much luck so far. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong but it’s not comfortable and still finding it is leaking. I need to keep trying to get it in the right position.
Kate W. (verified owner) –
Quick & easy
Sharon W. (verified owner) –
Amazing! Easy to use and extremely cost effective
Celia Y. (verified owner) –

Angelique N. (verified owner) –
My purchase arrived quickly and was exactly what I was expecting. Just as good as an expensive cup.
Marcel H. (verified owner) –
Been using th panty linersfor 3 weeks now. They are comfortable, easy to use and dries fast after washing. The cup is also very convenient and after the 3rd day, I almost forgot that I am wearing it. For a starter cup, the price is really affordable and it allowed me to try it out and see if this is for me.
Emma O. (verified owner) –
Didn’t want to buy an expensive one to try out first and I am so impressed, easy to get used to and so much cleaner!!
