I wanted a soft but semi-firm period cup. I’m quite an experienced cup user in my mid 20s and this cup is exactly what I wanted. It fits well, goes in and out easily and I don’t feel it at all once it’s in place. I empty it maxi twice a day on heavy days and only once on lighter days. I haven’t had any issues at all with the suction either. Leaks only happen when I’m in a rush and don’t put it in the correct position but aside from that I would recommend this cup to both beginner and experienced cup users. Also the packaging is super cute and I love everything about Ovira. I have their period pain relief device as well.

This is the first time I've ever used a menstrual cup, but even after just the first day, I was 100% converted! Using a cup allows me to go the entire day without even having to think about the fact that I'm on my period. The firmness of this cup works great for me - it always immediately seals when I insert it and I can't feel it unless I squeeze my muscles down there. As a first time user, I had a pretty hard time with insertion - I experienced a lot of discomfort when trying to get it in place and almost gave up, thinking I had the wrong size or something. I had been practising putting it in and taking it out before having to deal with the actual mess of period blood, but I was never actually able to get it inserted until I tried when I had my period. Something I was a little surprised by was just how messy (and sometimes difficult) it is to remove. I think the fact that it's a more firm cup makes for a quick and easy insertion but a more difficult removal process, whereas a soft cup would be the opposite. Maybe you just have to choose which you would prefer. But all-in-all, I can't imagine a better menstrual cup and I'm SO glad I chose this one!

This is by far the best cup I’ve ever tried. I’ve gone through like 4 menstrual cups however I constantly have issues with leaking so I was so ready to give up and go back to using tampons. The ovira cup has by far been the easiest to insert and it suctions so easily. I think it’s because the silicone is super high grade and it’s more flexible around the edges compared to the other brands that I’ve used. This also makes it a lot easier to remove.

I’m a first time cup user and was so glad I made the switch to the cup. I read and watched a lot of videos on how to use a cup before getting it so that I’d know what to expect. The c fold is the easiest fold for me and people always say that there’s a steep learning curve when it comes to period cups but the ovira cup had virtually no learning curve for me. My first time using it, I found it super easy to insert and it popped open really easily. I love that I can’t feel that I’m wearing it and it’s also just so much cheaper than buying tampons and pads every month.

I'm 24 and exclusively used pads before switching over to a cup. I’ve always felt weird about putting things inside me so I was weary about switching over but I know many other women who switched and always said such great things about cups. I decided to go with ovira because of their glowing reviews online and I really liked the company in general after learning more. There was not really a learning curve for me. The cup is comfortable to insert and remove, I don't feel it at all when it's inserted unless I insert it at the wrong angle (which has only happened once in the 4 cycles I've used it now). I love using cups, I don't even feel like I am on my period and just feel cleaner overall. I'm so happy I switched and recommend it to anyone considering it!
