Hello everyone, today is my Lunette review!  I love love love this cup and think it is awesome! Here we go!

DISCLAIMER: I have bought this cup entirely by myself, have no affiliation with Lunette and this review is completely my own.  I will also be talking about female anatomy parts so if you don’t like that please “x” out now.  Thank you :)

Unfortunately I contacted Lunette and couldn’t offer me a cup so I went online on my own.  I ordered this cup off www.luneshop.com, and I’m glad, because they ended up being great.  They were super awesome, I loved that I could order the Lucia cup and they had free worldwide shipping!  It came super quickly.  The Lunette cup is made of 100% medical grade silicone in Finland.  It meets Finish, US, and Australian standards of safety, it is hypoallergenic and latex free.  The cup has 4 suction release air holes.  The size 2 is also slightly firmer than the size 1.  The sizes include size 1 (volume: to the holes 21ml, to the rim 25ml) and size 2(volume: to the holes 26ml, to the rim 30ml).  They recommend size 1 for virgins, those under 25, or those who haven’t had children, and size 2 for those who are over 25 or have had children.  They do say though that amount of flow, anatomy, age, virginity, pregnancy, location of your cervix, sports goddess, and sensitive bladders affect who they will fit.  The cups measure 66mm and 72mm.  They previously came in Selene (blue), Diana (green), Aine (orange/pink), Cynthia (purple), and Lucia (yellow), but now only offer clear in the US.  Lunette cup also offers a cup wash and wipes.

Here is their packaging.  I loved the simplicity.  It was really easy to understand and would be great for a beginner.  Also, the inner part is 100% recycled material, which of course I loved.  They come with a silk pouch that has a nice liner.  I loved that it wasn’t just cotton, but it was quite large.  The directions would probably be good for a beginner.

^here is the back of the box.  <3

^the other side.  Simple diagrams explaining insertion and folds

^this is what the inner packaging looks like when you first open it.  cup, bag, and instructions

^this is the cup on the bag for size idea

^you can’t really tell but the back of the inner part of the Lunette box says “100% recycled”

^ I love the inside of Lunette bag, love that it has a lining.

^ this is the Lunette and Diva cups in pouches.  notice the size difference.

^ Lunette full body.  This pic really justifies the color.

^ this illustrates the bendiness of the stem.  if you look, it is putting pressure on my finger.  It is not very stretchy and has three grip rings on it.  Tab stem.

^Lunette vs. Diva punchdown.

^ not sure if you can see but it has Lunette lettered on the rim.  also, 4 grip rings on base of cup.

^ if you look at the stem closely, you can see the seam.  It is visible but doesn’t bother me

^ a better pic of seam and grip rings and stem.

^ the air hole

^ “Made in Finland”

^ just an idea of the squishiness.  you can also see the tab here and good color.

^ this is the lunette stem side view

^ lunette vs diva sideways squishiness

^ lunette vs diva stems

^ lunette vs diva…  notice length difference.  Diva body is longer but lunette is longer because of stem.  the stem is trim-able though.

^ better view

My experience:

So, of course I did a dry run and that worked really well.  The firmness of the cup was really great for popping open.  I absolutely loved how it felt.  The firmness did not press on my bladder though so that was great in my opinion.  I loved how it really suctions.  I did have it move up quite high, and it did want to stay up there when I tried to get it out so I had to reach up a little further than normal.  The seam bothered me at first but then it didn’t.  Your body isn’t that sensitive, after all your vagina shouldn’t be that sensitive or else you would have an awful hard time giving birth.  I had zero leaks as long as I timed it properly.  It holds roughly 1/8 ounce more than the diva cup and to me that was enough on my heavy nights to keep me from leaking.  Also, I feel as though it was different because I am what I would consider a “Seasoned” cup user.  I have used them for a long time (including soft cups).  The Lunette was easy to use overall and if you are not bladder sensitive and have heavy flow I would suggest this for a beginner.  The stem was slightly long but my cervix sits fairly high so it wasn’t a problem.  Hope this review really helps you!  I have a femmycycle review coming after my next cycle.

Thanks lovlies!  I will answer any of your questions if you post them below!  :D
