I have been using the Reusable ones for the past 2 months, and love them! They are softer than the disposable, purple, and not wasteful. And you still get all the benefits that you get with the disposable one. But you wear one cup for the length of your period. And it cost you about $3 per period. So even less waste than the disposable ones.
So if pink isn't your color, try the purple ones.

One Month- One Period- One Cup
I have not seen the reusable ones on store shelves yet. But you can purchase these straight from the Instead Softcup website right here.
A few questions you may have:
How do I clean the reusable Softcup? You can rinse with just water, or if you prefer a mild unscented soap. I used water and had no issues.
What can I do with the reusable softcup if I choose not wear it the whole time? wash, dry completely and store in a ventilated container. DO NOT store in a sealed container, or bag.
How do I dispose of the reusable softcup? in the trash like you would any other feminine products. Not in the toilet.
I'm worried about TSS from wearing it for 12 hours a day for the length of my period? Instead Softcups have not been linked to TSS. They do not absorb like tampons. They collect so therefore no risk of TSS.
Have more questions? Leave them in a comment or go right here.
I want to thank Evofem for allowing me to write,and review a product that has changed my life. Before I was even contacted by the company I had already wrote this blog post, Tampons vs Cups. So I was super excited about the opportunity. All the ladies have been wonderful, and so helpful.

ReplyDeleteI follow you via RSS feed on my Google home page, and started following InsteadSoftcup on Twitter! Boo-Hiss to not having a blog to link up and post on! Hubs is weirded out by the idea of them, but due to my current situation this would be the ideal solution! (and he won't complain when I can't use the period excuse!) Here's to hoping for a win!
