Menstrual cup recs?

[alias_sqbr]

I uh. May be in unexpected need of one. *quietly shoves burned remains of the previous cup into the bin*

I had a Mooncup and it worked fine but had some hard to clean nooks and crannies that bothered me. Cheap postage to Australia preferred!

(If you're wondering: you boil them for hygiene reasons. But it's important to remember to stop boiling them >.>)

My Mooncup was a hassle to clean with all the little ridges and the writing. I did a lot of research and bought a Fleurcup; the round-based shape (common to a lot of modern cups) has a lot higher capacity than the narrow Mooncup shape, the holes are higher up as well, and it's practically entirely smooth other than the grip rings at the base.

It cost NZ$35 from this site, one of the cheaper ones available. I got the large size as I am of advaaaanced aaaage and had some overflow problems with the small Mooncup; I think the smaller size would have been all right due to the high-capacity shape but it's fine either way. One thing to note is that I could bung the Mooncup up there no trouble but the peach-skin texture of the Fleur makes it sort of... grippy? and sometimes it's easier to get in with a drop of lube.

Oooh, thank you! I found the ridges annoying to clean too, this looks great.
