SckoonCup Menstrual Cup Review

June 26, 2013 by Chrystal Johnson

If you’re shopping for the best reusable menstrual cup, you’ll be interested in my SckoonCup review. I’ve been wearing one since 2012 and swear by this eco-friendly period product!

Making more eco-friendly choices in the menstrual area is a hot topic lately. Cloth pads, menstrual cups, organic cotton… where do you start? 

I began using cloth pads and a DivaCup in 2012. I didn’t love the DivaCup at first. I just could never get used to it, so I stuck with reusable cloth pads and ditched the cup for a while.

Then I got brave and decided I needed to try another menstrual cup.

I have an extremely heavy flow, usually on the second and sometimes third day of my cycle. So much so that I can’t confidently leave the house without fear of being too far from a bathroom…

I have turned down going many places over the years because of this problem, and I was tired of it so I decided that I needed to give another menstrual cup a try. This time, I had the opportunity to review the SckoonCup menstrual cup.

I was a little nervous at first since I didn’t have the best experience with my first menstrual cup (I tried 3 months in a row and it was just uncomfortable). But, I was hopeful because SckoonCup promised to be different.

The SckoonCup is softer and more flexible than the cup I tried before. It also has a smoother outer curve than the other cup I tried.

The first few times I tried to use it, I did have some difficulty getting it to fully open once I inserted it per the directions. I was worried that it wouldn’t work, but it did. After several attempts, I figured out how to insert it and get it to expand fully. I have been using it (or a replacement SckoonCup) ever since. 

On my heaviest night, I usually wake to change my pad twice (and this is with a heavy-duty, overnight pad). With SckoonCup and one of my overnight pads, I was able to make it 8 hours on my heaviest night before I had to get up. That is a success for me! I also feel comfortable leaving the house, even on my heaviest flow day.

Unlike the previous cup I used, I can’t feel the SckoonCup at all once I get it inserted. The learning curve with getting it to expand fully was worth it for me!

If you have thought about trying a menstrual cup, I recommend the SckoonCup menstrual cup.
