Period Cup Cleaning & Sterilising Case

It's the 3rd cup I've tried and this is the best for me! A comprehensive review below - the type of review I wish I'd seen more of when I was first researching cups:) sorry if tmi

Pros:
- I have a super high cervix (can't even reach it), but this was great. It has a decent amount of length, and it suctions well, so it didn't ride up like my past cups. The ring is just stiff enough
- It sits in just the right spot and doesn't leak for the most part!
- It also has a smooth stem, so it doesn't poke like I found the Mooncup does
- It has a flexible base, so I can pinch it easier than a stiff base
- It doesn't put pressure on my bladder - I found the Mooncup did!

Cons:
- Because of the flexibility, it takes a bit of time to get it to open. It's slower to put in than the Mooncup, and the base has less influence on the shape of the top since the base is much more flexible than the ring.
- Also, the bell shape isn't ideal for me; a more V-shape would be better, but the V shape available from Eleria is too small. The shape also results in it being harder to open for me, I think

Tl;dr: a few factors result in it taking longer to get it to open than cups I've used in the past, but once it's in, it's the ideal cup for me!

I’ve been trying to find the a cup that works for me for a while I’ve tried a few as well as menstrual discs but this is the best one by far. Super fast shipping and the quiz was really helpful

Easy to use and compact for storage. Great eco-friendly product.

Normally I would have had to wipe it out with toilet paper or throw some water on it ! So this method is a million times better!!

I prefer this method to my current version because i like the idea of having a specific item for the sterilising process. It feels more organised and more sanitary.

I way prefer this than simply rinsing your cup between uses because it feels cleaner (because you can shake it). I like the discreetness of it as I live in a house share

This process was easier to how I typically sterilise as I place it in a pot with boiling hot water for between 5-10 mins. However, with using the Eleria case I feel my period cup is able to get sterilised more quickly but with the same efficacy results as my usual method.

I love the idea of reducing waste from disposable period products, and the fact that a cup can last for years is a huge plus

The fabric bag is a nice touch so you can keep it in your bag closer to when you think you’re due to get your period.

Using the menstrual cup was definitely very new to me as I was never a user of tampons, just pads. This meant that there was a need for me to learn how exactly it works and it took me some time to feel confident that i could use this in public. However, once I got used to it, I found it much more comfortable and less hassle. I didn’t have to worry about changing it as often, and I felt more secure, especially overnight. It also helped me reduce waste, which was an important factor for me.

The cleaning case itself has been very practical and convenient. It’s compact, easy to store, and offers a hygienic solution for keeping the menstrual cup clean when not in use. The design is simple but appealing. I appreciated how it made cleaning feel more sanitary and organised compared to just storing the cup in a bag or a drawer.

The sterilisation feature adds an extra layer of cleanliness that makes me feel more comfortable using the cup, especially during my period. Overall, it feels like a more hygienic and hassle-free way to care for the cup compared to manual cleaning or using other storage methods.

I like the look and feel of the cup as it feels high quality. It may be an intimidating product to start using for someone who is new to it/ never used tampons before. However after a few gos it got easier to insert and felt more comfortable.

I am happy with the cup I chose as the size was a good fit and I am likely to re use the product as someone trying to move away from regular sanitary products.

I think the size is good - I wouldn't want anything bigger as I need it to fit in my handbag. It feels very high quality, I like the different texture of the lids vs the body of it - make it really easy for me to unscrew. I also love the colour! The logo is very subtle which I like.

The main selling points would be the cost saving and safety. Not adding a toxic product into our bodies should be appealing!!

I definitely will [continue to use the cup]! I think the fact it is a safer option and it lasts so long, I'll see the cost savings too :)

Sterilisation never felt so easy, just popping into the microwave for 3 minutes instead of the whole pan boiling process. I believe it’s well sterilised as I know very hot water kills the germs and bacteria, so I feel very confident about it.

I thought it was a relief to finally have something that will sort out this problem for me and once I’ve tried now, just can’t believe why this wasn’t done sooner.

I was worried that the cup wouldn’t suit my anatomy based on some extremely poor experiences in the past, but I was worried about nothing.

Previously I am a tampon user, so fundamentally using a cup didn’t feel too different for me. I did enjoy not having the endure my strings are not wet after using the bathroom, or the feeling of removing a dry tampon when cycles finish early unexpectedly.
