One size cup does not fit all
It's important to note that menstrual cups do not work for all women. Look for a good return policy - I know the Keeper has one. I tried it a few years ago and had nothing but pain and discomfort with inserting, removing and wearing. I gave it four months even though the company only has a 3 month guarantee but they still took it back anyway. I was very grateful at the time since I was rather broke. I believe the company has an 80-90% satisfaction rate. I am one of those 10%.
Some of us are built much smaller than others regardless of our age (I'm 31). The experience was so awful I'm afraid to try another brand. If there are any other ladies out there with the same problem, let me know if you've found a menstrual cup that works!

This is Critical
Thank you for this information. As a small business owner and subscriber to Grist I've thrown money at planting trees in order to make up for the areas where my green business falls short. Of course most of my ecological shortcomings are due to the fact I live in an apartment and have little or no control over my living space but that's a whole other discussion.
