I have a Small Diva that I just love to death, but I've been contemplating buying another cup for variety, just to see if anything works better on certain days etc. I've had my eyes on the Fleurcup and now they are on sale, and I have to buy one! I can't wait to have a colored cup!

I am having trouble choosing a color though. Do you guys have any pictures of your Fleurcups or descriptions? Every picture I see looks different. In some the colors are more opaque and in others they are more see through.

The lilac looks pretty in some pictures, but on the company's website, not so much. Same with the pink. I might have to go with blue because it looks pretty in every picture, but I am not a blue person. Help meh!!!

I think the green is really pretty. It's almost an aqua color in real life. I can post pics if you want. I have a large fleurcup, and I love the color, but it's very wide and firm! I don't like it as much as my divacup. In fact I am selling it.

Some pics of the lilac and pink:

I just went through the fleurcup tags for these photos. I think all the colors are pretty. I think the fleurcup is opaque, but because of lighting, and different batches, all the pictures ARE going to be different. Just choose your favorite :)

OH wow!
Thank you. I looked forever and only found one of those pictures. lol.

The lilac is sooo pretty, as is the peach. hmmmm...

I've only had my Diva for 8 monthes or so, and it works perfectly except being a little long every once in a while. I just want to have a back up and have options.

Maybe you weren't looking behind cuts? Idk, but no problem, I was curious myself. Backup cups are great, and we may not have the same preferences. :)

I am kind of sloppy with my skimming, if it doesn't have "picture" in the title, I'll skip over it. lol

One time I thought I lost my Diva, and I freaked out so bad. I get a little crazy if I think I might have to use tampons for any length of time. oh lord, I am spoiled.

How are the fleur and the diva different do you think? How do they feel?

I just posted photos of my green fleur in mc_sales :)

I have a small diva and a large fleur. I still had my camera out so I took some pics. :) As you can see the fleur is wider than the divacup:

The fleurcup is squatter and has a bell curve shape, where as the divacup is narrow and long:

The fleurcup feels much firmer for me, especially the rim. I probably should have gotten the small instead of the large. :)
MaryCatherineRmarycatheriner on March 8th, 2011 08:29 pm (UTC)
It is alot wider. wow.
Saráhwhimaway on March 8th, 2011 09:04 pm (UTC)
I know!!! I looked on the size charts and apparently the small is a little less wide than the divacup small.

I've been meaning to upload this. It's a crappy cellphone photo of my small lunette and my new large orange fleurcup.

Wow, I REALLY love that green one :)

I had the same issue. I wanted a lilac but heard that it wasn't a very vibrant lilac. I checked out the pictures, almost all of what whimaway found for you, and decided to do the blue, even though I'm not a blue person either. I would have loved to have gone with the green, but I already have a green Diana.

The Pink is a lot less peachy now. I describe it as bubble gum pink. I'd post a pic but the lighting doesn't do it justest!
