energeticThis is my first day with the Lunette I received nearly a month ago...
So this is my journal about my first cycle trial!!
Remember, I hesitated about the sizes. I finally took size 2. I bought it on Leastore, they have a very good customer service (I ordered first size 1 and sent an e-mail to change the size, they answered quickly and updated my order), and the shipping was very fast (ordered it on Saturday, received next Wednesday!)!
Bonus: in the enveloppe, there were two candies!
I had a dry run when I received it, I had several trials before getting it in (I wasn't able to keep the holding), and the first removal was... ouch!I removed it unfolded so it hurt the hell! The second trial was better .
I used origami fold.
What is the difference between origami and punch-down fold?
I stored my cup in its little bag but I don't like it, the fibers stick on the cup, I saw really cute organza pouches, I'll try to have one...
Just to know, the first day, I have light flow, the heaviest are on the 3rd and 4th day.
Yesterday night, I saw my period had started so I put my cup on and it was far easier than a dry run!! I was afraid it wasn't sealed (I didn't hear or feel the pop) so I checked with my fingers. I wore a pad to feel secure.
So I woke up and OMG no leaking!! My cup was 3/4 empty but as I said, the first day is really light. I removed it without dirtying too much the toilets, emptied and rinsed it with water but as there were some viscous stuff, I had to wipe it first with toilet paper.
I guess it would be better if I first wipe it and then rinse it, because of eventual toilet paper fibers...
It took a lot of time to insert/remove, as my fingers were wet and didn't grap the cup... I won't trim the tab to feel confident and to maintain the cup while i grab it to remove it!
I could feel the cup, because it was really low (it was the same with tampons) but I tried yoga with it (for those who know a bit about yoga, I even tried Hanumasana, i didn't feel any discomfort!!)
It took me time to insert/remove it, and I must train before starting school!....
And I know there were topics about it, but I wonder how girls in dorms do...
Isn't it embarrassing to rinse it in the lavatories, in front of everyone? Especially when your cup is full of viscous things?
And i have others questions:
how do you know when you should replace the Lunette?
I'm so happy with my Lunette (I'm usually very enthusiastic with things that actually work!) so my last question is:
what to do with all the tampons left? :p
