SHORDY Menstrual Cup

BUY THE CUPS!! I’m 31, I’ve had 2 children and my periods since my second birth have been very heavy since. I threw them straight in the deep end and used them whilst on holiday as I struggle using tampons when swimming in the pool/sea. They were a DREAM. The larger cup does me for the first 3-4 days and the smaller cup till my cycle has finished. They’re easy to use, easy to clean and definitely recommend purchasing the cleaning tub to sterilise them in. Pelvic floor muscles are your best friend, they make it a lot easier to get the cup out and also help with securing the suction once inserted. I’m fully converted and I love them.

Great that it comes in two sizes, I personally almost always use smaller size, as my flow is not so heavy but in case of longer travel the bigger cup is super handy. Comfy and soft enough

First time trying these instead of pads. I am pleased though they tend to leak if you're sat down/ lying down. If you're upright no leakage. I tend to wear a liner with it. The small one leaks the most so stick to the bigger size. Overall would recommend as it saves on sanitary supplies.

These are brilliant! I got the set with a large and a small. When inserting for the first time I did struggle a bit. I was frustrated! I'd heard how good they were and that you can't feel them when in, but I was there struggling, sure I'd had things go in there that were larger than this folded cup but this still couldn't fit?! I got it in eventually, after folding it in various ways til I found something that suited me. Once it was in, it truly is as comfortable as I'd heard they were. You can just about feel it when you think of it, but it's not uncomfortable in any way and when you're not thinking of it you can't feel it. When you fold it and put it in, it unfolds once inside you and that's it. I had no leaks. Removal is a bit uncomfortable, I was worried to fold it when taking it out incase it spilled, so that probably added to the discomfort. I needn't have worried as it wasn't yet full after 10 hours wear! Definitely recommend these things. I wish I'd tried sooner. These ones specifically are really soft, easy to fold and comfortable to wear. The case they come with is really handy too.

Excellent product, easy to use and soft material for comfort.

This is the first menstrual cup I’ve ever used. Initially there has been a trial and error phase but after a few days I got the hang of it and now I love it. There’s absolutely no leaking if you insert it right (the top should not be folded after you insert it) and you don’t feel it at all. You only need to change it around every 12 hours and it does not prevent urination, so it’s quite convenient whether I’m at home or work. More importantly I’ve stopped buying menstrual pads and tampons which is a huge environmental bonus and great for my budget. There are two products in the set so I’m pretty much set for a decade at this price - what a deal! I just wish I found out about this earlier.

I used a different cup for years, just wanted a new one because of discolouration, so I'm not a newbie at using cups. I had trouble getting this one into position and unfolding it once it was inside, it's quite stiff. I could always tell I had it in, that dull pressure, like a tampon. I bought a more expensive brand claiming to be soft and the difference is palpable. On the plus side, the couple times I did manage to position it correctly, there was absolutely no leaks and getting it out was easier than others.

Reviewing at the end of my first cycle using these cups. I hadn’t ever really considered using a cup until I saw a TikTok about pink tax and thought “f*** it” to the period products I’m buying every month and wanted to give one a go. I went for this brand after a lot of research into other brands and honestly didn’t know if I’d need a small or large cup. With other brands they were more pricey for only one cup so I thought at £15 and you’re getting both, that seems decent. My first impression was how easy it was to insert. Some people mentioned they struggled to get it to open up but honestly if you kind of get your leg up on the bathroom side, fold it up and then pull it back down and wiggle it a bit once it’s inside, it opened up fine. An issue arose however, the first evening when I reinserted it after the shower. I went to pee and couldn’t! I left it half an hour or so, got into bed and read my book then came back to try again. Still struggling! Did a bit of googling and watched YouTube videos about struggling to pee and realised it can actually push on your bladder if you have it too high. I’d automatically just inserted it up and felt it sitting right but admittedly it did instantly make me need a wee. I pulled it down and had it sat lower and could wee! Just thought this was worth noting as to be honest it was quite scary feeling the need to go but feeling like the cup was blocking it! After this hurdle at the beginning and realising where it needed to sit, I had no issues, and to be honest this wasn’t an issue with this brand in general, I feel like it just comes with experience from using a menstrual cup. The rest of my cycle was a breeze, I saw someone else on here say that they barely noticed they were on their period and I totally relate. Also a note on sizing, I am 29 and have given natural births twice. I tried the small first and it was perfect for me, I felt the large looked quite intimidating! But in the middle of my cycle probably one of my heaviest days, during the middle of the night I found I’d leaked. I then switched to the large cup for overnight and found that it was better for my flow on the heavier days. They both sat fine comfort wise :) 100% recommend! Love that I never have to buy pads and tampons again, hallelujah!

I had a beach trip coming up, got this bad boy at the last minute and it did not disappoint. I was skeptical of wearing it to the beach but this was my first menstrual cup. It was uncomfortable at first but wearing it for a while, my body got used to it and I almost forgot my cycle was on. All I know it’s definitely saved me money from tampons and pads. I still have my entire box of tampons. Needless to say, I love it.

These menstrual cups are comfortable; I can move around and sleep without feeling them much. The material used is soft to the touch yet still somewhat firm, so it does hold its shape when placed correctly. I find the large size is too large for me, but at the same time, the smaller cup is a hit or miss, depending on whether it's inserted correctly. I have had some leaks, but luckily I was home. It's nice that they provide two different sizes for the price point compared to other brands I've seen that only give you one cup. This is my first time with menstrual cups, so I can't compare it to another, but so far, this one seems okay only when placed correctly! That might take a little practice! Removing it can be a little painful due to the suction, but once you get the hang of it, it's not that bad. I will see after another use if I really like it or not, but for now, it's just okay, as it does sometimes leak pretty badly if the seal is not tight when inserted. I would recommend wearing a liner when out and about, just in case!

Had been using the moon up for years, but since Brexit made it so expensive to import, I tried the Shordy and find it better, more comfortable, than the Mooncup!

Best menstrual cups I’ve used! Super super comfortable, flexible (easy to insert) and I love the super soft tip that makes removal easier. Just as a heads up to first time menstrual cup users, this cup has a very very strong seal (suction power). This is great because I’ve had no leaks whatsoever, but if you’re not experienced in breaking the seal and taking it out it might be difficult for you. Some tips: do NOT just try to pull it straight out, this will be incredibly uncomfortable (and at times, dangerous). Try to wedge one or two fingers along the side and scoop, or come hither motion along the side until you feel the seal pop. Once the seal is popped you can pull a bit at the bottom tab to get it close, and then pinch the cup near the top to pull the rest out. This minimizes any mess from accidentally dumping the contents as you pull it out. If the cup is too deep or feels out of reach, try pushing while you break the seal. This should put it in a more accessible position. Don’t be afraid to try these cups out!! Insertion and removal is a learning curve, but once you figure it out it’s super easy and takes no time at all. They are far far superior to tampons IMO, you never have to worry about leaking or changing every 1-2 hours if you have a heavier flow. Good luck!

Ma jeune fille l’a testée, et totalement approuvée. Cette cup remplit tout critère, qu’il soit en confort, odeurs, ou autre… Je recommande vivement et la petite boîte de transport est très pratique. Mais petite question à propos de celle-ci : Peut-on ranger la cup dedans ? Puisqu’il est indiqué qu’une cup doit être rangé dans un sachet en tissu et surtout dans un contenant hermétique. Sinon super 👍🏽
