(Possibly Found) my first cup..

I've spent the evening researching different cups (sizes-medium flow w/ average cervical depth, stems-ball sounds nice but no preference, materials used-i lean slightly to silicone--i'm vegan and not a fan of plastics but could balk on either for the environmental benefits of a cup, tendency for UTI, BV, or Yeast Infection--I do get all three, how they work with Paragard IUDs-I've had one for nearly 3 years, etc) and have decided to take the leap, but still haven't decided on a specific cup.

My thoughts are that while a MeLuna Small is too small, everything else should be okay size wise. I've heard a little bit about Lunette's causing irritation, so I was considering steering clear, but could be convinced otherwise. I would appreciate any advice that anyone has to offer.

Thanks loves.


--- I decided to buy a M Meluna Soft Cup with a Ball stem from another MCer. Thanks for all the advice. I'll let you all know how it goes (given my period ever comes, as it's 3 weeks late about now)
