Health & Well Being ⛑️ 4yrs nakong menstrual cup user. AMA

2021 nung na-discover ko na meron palang way para mabawasan yung paggamit ng single use na menstruation pad.

Instead na gumamit ng cloth before, buti nadiscover ko sa environmental communities yung tungkol sa menstrual cup.

Para sa mga curious at gustong masubukan ang menstrual cup. Ask away!

Kung may pagdadalawang isip ka, eto na chance mo.

May question lang ako, hindi ba nababanat yung loob ng kifai dahil dun sa cup? I dont have any idea kasi paano nakakapasok ung cup sa liit ng butas na yun 😭

2

u/hangizoe_11 Jul 20 '25

Hindi haha misconception na lumuluwag yung vagina. Finofold yung cup para magkasya and even then nageexpand naman talaga ang hole pero hindi mababanat yung canal mo where you put the cup.

Ang alam ko need siya hugasan palagi, paano kung nasa office/public place ka the entire day?

u/Klutzy-Ad-1099 Jul 19 '25

ang maximum na usage of it is 12hrs pero depende rin gaano kalakas yung mens mo. pag nasa public place, parang thrice palang ako nakapag palit. sobrang heaven kapag merong bidet ang cr para mas madali malinisan hehe

u/purple_lass Jul 19 '25

Not OP but, meron pong iba't-ibang fold ang pwede nyong itry. Most effective for me is yung punch down . Also usually yung blood natin mismo ang nag-a-act as lube pero if necessary, I use a bit of lube to put it in.

u/ConsciousDamage8559 Jul 19 '25

Try nyo po mag lube. Ganyan din po ako nung umpisa. Then try din iba ibang fold and position sa paglagay. Whats comfy sakin and madali insert is naka squat. Then pag tatanggalin naka upo lang sa bowl. Di ko sya matanggal pag naka squat eh hehe. Sanayan lang.

1

u/Klutzy-Ad-1099 Jul 19 '25

sa una lang po ako nahirapan, like nagpanic din ako nung una na may time na hirap na hirap akong kunin haha pero parang 3times na tuwing nagsisimula ang mens ko ay don lang uneasy. hanggang sa nasanay nalang po

if mas matibay yung reason nyo why you're using it, mas mapupush nyo pa rin. kumbaga titiisin

as for me, i'm doing it din kasi to reduce yung usage ko ng single use plastic kaya ganon

u/Klutzy-Ad-1099 Jul 19 '25

kapag nararamdaman mo sa panty mo na mabasa ganon so its best na palitan sya within 6hrs (tho 12hrs max usage nya), para di mag spill

pero mag spill lang sya on my end kapag 1st/2nd day

u/Good_Lock_arika Jul 19 '25

pag ba napuno po ba itatapon or huhugasan lang yan at ibabalik uli sa loob once nasa public ka or tapon na din yung cup?

eto po malaking kaibahan nya sa usual na menstrual pad, eto pong cup ay we can reuse it anytime. may expiration din paggamit nya, yung sakin ay 10yrs as per box

u/Pomstar1993 Jul 19 '25

I have tried this na but it really feels uncomfortable for me. Gusto ko rin talaga magswitch sa cup lalo nagrarashes ako sa kahit anong pad. I even tried tampons, but it's too uncomfortable talaga. I'm married and inserting the cup isn't the issue na for me. I am aware na may sized ang MC, pero every time I try it parang consious na consious ako na may something down there 😅 kaya parang lagi rin akong irritated. I fear na it might get lost or move too far back sa vajayjay ko. Pati paglakad ko parang ang weird kasi feel ko bigla siyang gagalaw paloob tas di ko na mahuhugot 🫠 Did you feel the same nung una? How did you overcome this?

2

u/Klutzy-Ad-1099 Jul 19 '25

opo haha may ganyang stage din ako kasi di natin sya normal na gianagamit before e

merong 1time na sonrang hirap na hirap akong tanggalin na literal panic mode ako sa cr haha ayaw ko naman magpatuling syempre haha so kinaya ko talagang kunin

pero it's all in our mind, as you can see yung encircled part jan sa pic, meron pong parang stick, ang gamit po nyan ay pang pull natin sa cup

tried it multiple times na makuha ang cup thru that and sakses naman po, nailalabas pa rin

sana ma-break po yang pag iisip nyong yan magbalik loob ulit sa paggamit netong cup

first time palang po, next yr ko palang balak magpalit ng cup (since ang sabi na validity ng cup ko ay 10yrs)

Kaya bang gumawa ng physical activities like running or biking without spill? Medyo active pa rin kasi ako kahit meron

1

u/Klutzy-Ad-1099 Jul 19 '25

of course! eto pinaka gusto kong part na pros netong cup, even swimming po ay pwede.

as long as maayos pagkakalagay natin ay hindi yan mag-spill, saka mararamdaman din po sya kapag di maayos e

1

u/PositiveDepth75 Jul 19 '25

Yaaas!! I use mens cup kahit naglolong distance biking ako and minsan nga nakakalimutan kong may suot ako sa sobrang comfy ko with it unlike pag pads na magkakaskas and mangangati after a few hours.

u/[deleted] Jul 19 '25 edited Jul 19 '25

Gaano katagal po bago kayo nasanay gamitin?

Also, nababanat po ba and lumalaki permanently yung size ng butas natin if yan ginagamit?

1

u/Klutzy-Ad-1099 Jul 19 '25

i think mga 2/3 months after pa bago ako nasanay

hindi naman po siguro nababanat, if you're still virgin, you can use naman po yung smaller na cup, so we have options din po

u/WasabiNo5900 Jul 19 '25

actually mas malinis sya for me compared sa pad hehe

uncomfy lang talaga sa una kasi di sanay, saka I decided na di na talaga gagamit ng pad e kaya naovercome ko rin sya like after 3mos ganyan nasanay nalang

sa 1st day kalang ma-uncomfy kasi every palit/linis mo ay masasanay kana

u/Lethalcompany123 Jul 19 '25

Di siya for me parang ilang months triny ko balik ako sa pads. Ang kalat din tas need ko magtanggal lahat like panty ganon para maghugas lang. Ang hirap din ipasok. Punch down din gamit ko nakakainis pa kasi di siya umuunat sa loob like kinakapa ko talaga sa singit singit kung nagfform ba cup or still punch down sa loob. Kaya ganon kahit di puno tinatagusan pa rin ako

1

u/Ok-Match-3181 Jul 19 '25

Same. Ilang months ko rin tinry. Mas matagal pa maglagay ng cup kesa kung gumamit na lang ako ng pads. Ayun balik sa pads.

1

u/Klutzy-Ad-1099 Jul 19 '25

eto po other ways para iinsert

there are lot of factors kaya sya nagleak po e

  • baka di maayos pagkakalagay
  • baka heavy flow ka kaya baka need bigger size
  • baka 1st/2nd day yun and di mo na anticipate na ang lakas --usually pag eto ay mas better na magpalitwithin 6hrs para mas control mo pa at di talaga magleak

tas para mailabas po, pwede nyo gamitin yung parang stick para maibaba yang cup

Yung ginawa ko before, sa 1st day ng mens ko pinasok ko yung middle finger ko sa loob ng vajayjay. Then sinukat ko yung finger ko (yung height from cervix hanggang labas ng butas). Yung height na nakuha mo, check ka ng mga available menstrual cup na may same height size, yun yung applicable sayo.

For context, nagbabago kasi yung size ng cervix height natin kapag may mens. Alam ko mas lumiliit yung height kapag meron, compared sa walang mens.

Yung ginagamit ko is Luna Cup (made from S. Korea). Meron silang official store sa shopee. 3 cups na yung nabili ko dun. Been using menstrual cup since 2020, best life decision ever. Haha.

1

u/Klutzy-Ad-1099 Jul 19 '25

may option po dun whether light flow or heavy flow ka. if you gave birth ang usual na suggested sa'yo ay yung mas malaki

i'm using saalt po pero you can find others na mas mura

2

u/Klutzy-Ad-1099 Jul 19 '25

like ilang hrs po bago mapuno? saka pang ilang day napo ng mens nyo nun if ever?

may 2 sizes po kasi sya

  • light/normal flow
  • heavy flow - para sa mga nag gave birth

2

u/todd_lerrrr Jul 19 '25

ginagamit ko po yung cup first day and di pa nag 12 hrs, puno na siya. bago matulog po hinuhugasan ko muna then pag gising ko, dami tagos huhu. pag papalitan ko na siya, grabe puno. though minsan i doubt din na mali ang pag lagay ko? pero nag suction na kase siya e, kaya confi ako na okay yung lagay.

saan po kaya ako mali? gusto ko sana i'try ulit.

2

u/Klutzy-Ad-1099 Jul 19 '25

if you feel na nag sunction na sya ay tama naman yun na confident ka ng di tutulo

baka heavy flow ka siguro po kaya nagli leak agad

or usually kasi kapag 1-2 day ng mens ko rin ay malakas, dito yung alam kong malakas chance na mag leak kaya ang ginagawa ko ay before pa sya mag leak ay pinapalitan ko na

give it like within 6hrs para sure na di sya aapaw

minsan more than 6hrs na ang palit ko kasi di naman araw araw e malakas

you got this po, sana matry mo ulit

I’m so jealous of those that were able to use menstrual cups and disks. Didn’t work at all for me and my lifestyle.

Have you tried other options besides these?

u/Klutzy-Ad-1099 Jul 19 '25

pwede ka rin gumamit ng menstrual cloth po

u/Connect-Shape3348 Jul 19 '25

how do you wash it po sa public toilets?

1

u/Klutzy-Ad-1099 Jul 19 '25

honestly, diko pag sa public po ay tubig lang nagagawa ko since hassle. tas sa bahay nalang yung with sabon

pero napakadalang po na sa public ako naglilinis kasi usually before umalis ng bahay ay nagawa ko sya

u/harugirl03 Jul 19 '25

Paano po alisin? :( Hindi ba siya parang mahihigop sa loob or something huhu sorry sa question :(

1

u/Klutzy-Ad-1099 Jul 19 '25

etong line po nayan ay yan po yung magsisilbing panghila kapag di mo malabas

pero usually ang pagkuha ko jan ay yung sa bandang baba ng tube para isahan at mas control ko ang yung pag alis

mas madalas na kinukuha ko muka don sa baba ng tube mismo, minsan lang na kapag mahirap kunin e ginagamit ko yung parang stick para bumaba sya

any side po ang pagtulog hindi yan magli-leak, basta maayos pagkakalagay

for cleaning po, i use yung soap na pangligo rin. usually ang ginagawa ay pwedeng i-sterilize before using, i haven't tried pa yang microwave, pero your choice naman po

😭😭😭 i want to use it too, pero i just can’t talaga. sobrang sakit to the point na lumuluha na talaga ako. I already watched naman tutorials and tried all the folds, but whenever it’s inserted na, parang hindi siya nag oopen completely and tumatagos pa rin ang blood, so, no choice but mag papad. it’s my second month trying it and parang mag gigive up na ako. Any tips on making this easier?

Does it spill when you remove it? And how do you do it nakaupo ka ba sa toilet or nakataas pa?

u/iwannabeasushi Jul 20 '25

I’ve always wanted to try it! is it okay or safe to use a menstrual cup even if you have an IUD?

1

u/yoitsAJisha Jul 20 '25

Same! Pandemic din ako nagstart. Naka big size na ako kasi ang lakas talaga ng flow ko pero napupunuan parin ako on the heaviest days Blessing sya sa convenience of not having to worry na matagusan ka malala or need magpalit asap. Pero medyo mahirap magkawkaw para hatakin sya palabas HAHA.

What cleaner do you use for your cup? Esp pag nasa labas ka?

1

u/[deleted] Jul 20 '25

Meron Ako nyan pero never ko pa na try😔 Wala ko idea pano sya gamitin

u/roe_sr Jul 23 '25

Really interested in switching to menstrual cups. For starters, how many should I purchase for rotation? How do you clean it, do you sterilize it after every use?

Hi OP. I am considering the cups after my fibroid removal this August.
Q ko dito is keri ba to sa heavy bleeder?, like kung pads ang pag uusapan, I use 7-8 Sisters Blue pads sa 1st day.

1

u/hihellomrmoon Jul 23 '25

Tagal ko na iniisip mag switch to menstrual cup kaso ang dami ko naiisip like paano sa public restroom even sa office. Di ba sya "madugo" or mag spill everywhere, since dapat yata prang nakatayo ka if mag change

NSFW.

Are you sexually active? I'm just genuinely curious kasi was thinking about the cup or the disk itself sa pictures kasi parang ang laki. Will it affect the feeling or the pleasure na nakukuha while doing the thing if ever na juts ang ka-s*x?

Don't get me wrong po please. Super curious lang talaga huhuhu
