Making the switch to a CrimCup menstrual cup can feel very intimidating. If you’re thinking about trying a menstrual cup (or you already have), here are the experiences only menstrual cup users truly get.
1. That “ I’m I still on my period?” Moment
Once a menstrual cup is in place properly, it becomes almost invisible. No rustling pads. No damp feeling. Just… comfort.
2. The Shock of How Much You Don’t Bleed
Seeing your flow collected in your CrimCup menstrual cup instead of absorbed in a pad or tampon is eye-opening. You realize your period isn’t as heavy as it once seemed soaked up in a pad.
3. The freedom of sleeping commando
Because your period is collected by a menstrual cup, and not absorbed, you can sleep easy knowing nothing will come out. If you are a commando girlie, you can continue airing your lady parts, everyday, periods not withstanding.
4. The smell of your period
You realise that your period doesn’t actually smell. That strong ‘period smell’ is the mixture of your oxidized period blood and the tonnes of chemicals inside pads and tampons. Your period blood just smells like: blood!
5. The Unexpected Bond With Your Body
Understanding your flow, your cycle, and how your body works feels empowering.
The menstrual cup turns your period into something you manage—not something that manages you.
6. Realizing How Much Money You’ve Been Spending
After a few months, you do the math and realize the savings are huge.
One menstrual cup replaces hundreds of pads and tampons.
7. The “I Can Travel Light” Win
Road trip? Hike? Beach weekend?
One small menstrual cup in your bag and you’re set—no bulky supplies.
8. The Learning-Curve Panic… Then the Victory
Every menstrual cup user remembers the first few tries – folding, inserting, adjusting, wondering, worrying. Then suddenly, just like any other skill that you dedicate effort to, something clicks, and you become a pro.
9. The Eco-Friendly Glow-Up
You feel genuinely good knowing you’ve cut down on waste.
One menstrual cup = thousands of disposables saved over its lifetime.
10. The Moment You Realize You’ll Never Go Back
Comfort. Cost savings. Convenience. Confidence. Cleanliness.
Once the menstrual cup becomes part of your routine, pads and tampons start to feel so unnecessary.
Final Takeaway
Switching to a menstrual cup isn’t just a product change. It’s a lifestyle upgrade.
You gain comfort, freedom, and a deeper understanding of your own cycle.
