REVIEW: EasyFlo Menstrual Cup + FAQ

I’m sorry. I’ve been procrastinating. It’s been 5 days since I last published an article here on my blog and that’s the longest ever. Life has been crazy lately and I want to blame it on the Mercury Retrogade or my recent bout of monthly period.

Speaking of period. It’s been almost 6 months since I switched to using menstrual cups. Never going back to pads I tell you! Save the planet save your wallet! Today I’m going to review a new brand that I’ve been using for the past 2 periods. The Easy Flo Menstrual Cup!

Review

The first brand I used was Anytime, and while it kept leaks at bay and barely felt it when it’s “inside“. The hard structure of the cup makes it very uncomfortable to insert and pull-out. Like taking out hard plastic.

EasyFlo however, suits their name with how their cup functions. It’s soft, flexible, and easy to insert and pull out. I tried both the Large size and the Small size. The only difference is the amount of liquid it can hold.

How much does it cost? A cup in either size costs around 720php. They also have kits available that includes a container and brush cleaner for 1040php

I can put it on in the morning and forget about my period the rest of the day. That’s the reason I switched in the first place. No need to change pads in between and no “bakat” worries. I take a shower twice a day so I insert it in the morning shower, and clean it and put it on again during the evening.

The only con? I have to say it still leaks. On both sizes. Compared to wearing Anytime that gave me ZERO leakage. To remedy this, on heavy days I put on an additional reusable cloth panty liner.

Despite the leakage, I still prefer using Easyflo over Anytime. Just because it goes in so smoothly. It doesn’t feel “weird”. LOL Using the other cup felt more like putting in a sex toy than a tampon HAHAHAHAHAHAH

Why switch?

Q&A

I’ve gathered a few questions from my FB Page: KIKAYSIKAT and hope to answer them based on my honest to goodness experience on using menstrual cups!

Pag nasa loob na, makakalimutan mong nandun sya promise! Maninibago ka lang sa una kasi may papasok ka sa loob lol. Wag ka matakot. Hindi sya ma-stuck sa loob kasi may limit po vaginal canal natin 🙂

Yes. It can spill when you’re not careful! Imagine pulling out a soft cup with blood inside. Well not imagine, literally! Haha! Kaya I do this when I’m in the shower.

If you have heavy flow I recommend using a cloth liner para eco-friendly pa din tayo. You can use the LARGE size 🙂 You can still maximize the use kasi imagine ilang pads matitipid mo.
