Period attire

This is my review on Period Attire Pads on etsy. This is such a remarkable young lady who donates 10% of her net profits go to help girls in africa have access to menstrual products so that they won't miss out on their education.


So on to my order I had purchased an 8 inch heavy pad, a surprise 9 inch scrap pantyliner and a 6 inch thong liner. The heavy pad has to be one of my favorites it is so cute with flowers and so comfortable and it really holds a lot. the scrap panty liner is so adorable and is made of 3 types of fabric flannel, minky and cotton all of which have foxes! The thong liner is minky with owls and I honestly forgot I was wearing it!


I usually have a hard time finding narrow pads so they do not bunch up and these were PERFECT! I do look forward to buying more from her as they are really good quality and also for her donations to such a good cause. Terra added a note with my order on the back of her business card.

Me Luna shorty large classic

These are my opinions on the Me Luna large classic shorty.

It has a 21 ml capacity to the rim, 44 mm rim diameter and a 41 mm body length. There are only 2 suction release holes. I chose the model with the tab style stem.


I have been looking forward to trying this brand since I first learned of menstrual cups! Let me start with the material used for the Me Lunas it is TPE (Thermoplastic elastomer) and I will tell you now I strongly dislike it. The pouch it came with was a nice one but it was much bigger than the cup itself.


I ordered the large shorty classic and the resistance was similar to that of a large fleurcup which was way too soft for my liking. I could not get this cup to open inside me. The size would have been perfect for the end of my cycle when my cervix drops quite a bit. Within 3 days of receiving the meluna I got rid of it.

Lunette Size 2

This is my honest review of my Lunette cup.

I purchased my Lunette to try it after hearing a few people say it was on the firmer side. Within a day of using it I was so in love! It can hold 30 ml to the rim, 46 mm rim diameter, 52 mm cup length and a 72 mm length with the stem intact. It has a flat tab style stem which I have to cut off due to having a lower cervix. They come with the cutest lined satin pouches!

I will tell you right now that this very well could be my “goldilocks” cup! I use this every cycle even when I should be trying out my various cloth pads. It took no time at all to insert this in the correct position. I have had my lunette for 4 months now and I still have not had a single leak! I will also tell you that I currently have two of these cups one for at home and one for my purse so that I will not be caught off guard without it!

Lily cup original size B

My first impressions on the original lily cup size B…

The dimensions on the lily cup are 43.5 mm in diameter 78 mm in length and can hold 28 ml to the rim. You can purchase the lily cup at the Intimina website.

The lily cup has a unique design including a no spill rim and soft spines to help pop open. This cup is so soft and silky to the touch. It has no suction release holes and let me tell you that this cup has AMAZING suction! It also features a slanted rim which helps getting it into the right position with longest part behind your cervix.

Personally I love this cup but I would need to have a shorter cup length due to having a lower cervix but when I sleep I find this is not a big issue since I do not move around a lot. You could cut a little bit of the stem off but seeing as the only grip rings are on the stem it may make it harder to remove.

Funpadzbystevens


This review is going to be on a set of pads from funpadzbystevens off Etsy.



I got 1 light/moderate 9.5 inch, 2 light/moderate 9.75 inch, 1 moderate/heavy 9.75 inch, 1 overnight 12.5 inch. All are flannel topped with a layer of zorb for the cores. The light pads have anti-pill fleece backing whereas the heavy and overnight has polartec windpro fleece.


I like the lengths and shape of the pads themselves but I find the overprotective wings too bulky. They are super duper absorbent and really soft. A downside is the flannel has already pilled very bad after the 3rd wash.


From the time I ordered them to the time I received them took just 3 days. I think these pads hold a lot and they are super soft. Overall my opinion on these pads are that I feel like these are best suited to become my overnight pads or when I'm lazy lounge around the house.
