Super Jennie (Large, Teal) - Menstrual Cup - Made in USA - Twin Pack (Small & Large, Clear)

The search is over! I have FINALLY found my Goldilocks cup. The Super Jennie has everything I could ever want in a cup - capacity, reliability, and comfort. I’m 38 (no kids/high cervix), and I have found that I seem to do better with larger, wider cups. So I bought a large-sized Super Jennie and the diameter seems to work very well for me. The SJ is described as a soft cup, and I usually prefer firmer cups because they pop open so easily. I have a couple of soft cups and often have to fiddle around with them to get them open, which can be frustrating. So I was a little skeptical about trying the SJ at first, but I have no problems getting it to open. I use the C-fold, and I find that it helps to wiggle the bottom of the cup slightly as it is opening to encourage it to pop open all the way. The cup feels slightly firmer near the rim, and I think that helps it to pop open easier, too. This cup also seems to immediately settle itself to where it needs to be with no coaxing from me. No pushing or prodding needed. And no leaks! The SJ held up fabulously through spin class, 6-mile runs, kickboxing, yoga, and weight training. No slippage, no leaking. No leaks overnight, either. I’ve tried several cups over the past year. Some have worked for me, some haven’t. I like different cups for different reasons. I like my firm cup for exercising and during the daytime on my heavier days, but I often switch to a softer cup for overnight. And I like a softer or smaller cup during my lighter days. So I usually end up using at least two cups at various points. The Super Jennie is the first cup I’ve tried that combines all of the features of my favorite cups. The SJ pops open easily like a firm cup, but it is soft enough to wear comfortably anytime. No more needing different cups for different situations. This is very nice because now when I travel I can take only one cup with me instead of two. It is easy to insert, easy to remove, holds up exceptionally well during physical activity, and it doesn’t leak. I couldn’t ask for more. I have used the SJ exclusively for three cycles and it is the only cup I want to use now. It is my absolute favorite. Everyone’s body is different and your experience may vary, but I would definitely recommend the Super Jennie based on my own experience.

I am three cycles in with my SuperJennie, so I feel like now that it has definitely paid for itself in tampon/pad costs I feel like I'm qualified to write a review. For context, I'm 36 years old, never had children, and do not take hormonal birth control. I chose the SuperJennie after taking an online quiz about my cycle, flow, cervix, age, and a number of other factors. The main factor in my decision is that I have a very heavy flow, especially in the first couple days. I would recommend that anyone considering a menstrual cup take a similar quiz and make sure the cup you're buying meets your unique needs. For me, this was key to having a good experience from the get-go. To get them out of the way, here are the negatives: - I fold it up to insert, and sometimes it doesn't open right away. You have to kind of twirl it around by the base, or just move around a bit until you feel it open (a funny feeling, but not painful) - On very heavy days when it starts to get quite full, it will kind of sink down lower and sometimes completely inhibit my ability to urinate, even if I have a strong urge to do so. Now that's a strange sensation. Anyway, this generally means it needs to be taken out and emptied, anyway, so then I can pee and everything is fine. This does require me to be careful not to get into public bathroom only situations during this time, but there's usually only one day out of the month that it's a major concern. - Pulling it out by the stem does not always work very well, so you need to get used to grasping the cup itself from the base and pulling it out that way. Once you're accustomed to that it's not a big deal. - Overall, it's just very important to realize that there's a learning curve, and not everything is going to go perfectly the first few months. There are a lot of resources online that can help you with any stumbling blocks -- someone has been wherever you are. And the payoff once you get things straightened out is SO WORTH IT. Which bring us to... Things I love about my SuperJennie: - As I mentioned earlier, it's a huge money-saver. After the initial investment paid for itself, I'm now going to be saving $100+ a year on tampons and pads. - On that note, it's also nice to know that in this one way I'm no longer contributing to landfills. - Not having to figure out what the h I'm going to do when I leave the house and forget to pack pads or tampons (at least once a month this would happen) has been a dream. - When inserted properly, you cannot feel it at all. No joke, it's as if there is nothing there at all. - With a few exceptions on my very heavy days, it doesn't leak at all. During that heavier time, I will also use cloth pads as back-up, especially overnight. - The general soreness and discomfort that I felt in my ~area~ from tampons and pads is entirely gone. - On that note, my cramping has been reduced considerably. I've suffered from very painful cramps my entire life during the first 1-2 days of my period, and that discomfort has been reduced by half, or more, these last few months with the cup. This is one of the best things I can say about it, because it's a relief I never thought I would have until menopause. - The first day or so, I might have to empty it once or twice mid-day, but for the vast majority of my 5+ day period I am emptying it in the morning when I wake up, and again before bed. That's it. The convenience factor here is off the charts. Overall, I just feel like this is one of the best changes I've ever made. Literally. And I've made a lot of shifts in my life, many of them good. I cannot recommend taking the leap on a cup highly enough. I wish I'd have done it years ago.

I find this cup to be extremely comfortable. I'm over 30 and have had 2 kids naturally. I experience heavy periods so this is my first cycle to try it with. I did have a bit of trouble finding a fold method that worked for me to get it in far enough without it feeling like it was going to slide out. The punch fold works best for me. The other problem I had was getting the cup to open. After trying and trying then becoming frustrated I researched techniques. Applying pressure on the vagina wall after insertion did the trick. I lightly applied pressure on the wall for a few seconds and felt the cup pop open. Even though it was in comfortably before it was collapsed from suction and there for leaked. I have a Diva Cup and found that one to be too hard and long. The Super Jennie is much softer and much more comfortable. If you have problems with insertion or leaking just take time to figure out which fold method works for you. Then do the wall pressure trick to get it to open if it doesn't after inserting. I feel this cup will come in handy as I like to travel out of the country. There is NOTHING worse than being in a foreign country and getting a surprise period with NO supplies. Then having to find a place that sells supplies and hoping what ever you bought will work. Anyone with a heavy period knows those regular pads just won't work. It ruined my Caribbean vacation because I couldn't swim and I had to lug around a bag with boxes of pads around with me. It was super embarrassing and super aggravating. I plan on buying 2 more cups so I can have one to carry for backup in case I cant clean the one being used. And a 3rd in case I accidentally lose one. My upcoming vacation will be soooooooo much better knowing I have the Super Jennie. Update***I switched to the small size since the large didn't seem to fit too well. The Super Jennie is VERY comfortable if you get the right size. Even though I'm over 30 and have had 2 kids the large sat too low. I guess I have a low cervix. The small is PERFECT. Even on my heavy day it performed beautifully. When I say heavy I mean the gates of Hoover Dam were open heavy. The small fits up inside without sliding or hanging out like the larger one did. Everyone is different but for me the small works. I slept all night in it with no accidents or having to get up 3 times in the night like I'd have to with pads. I've mastered insertion and removal with practice. I know when I travel I might not have access to a sink for cleaning. So I plan on bringing a bottle of water and wet wipes for cleanups in public restrooms. I wish I had used a menstral cup long ago due to aggravation from messy heavy periods since getting my period at 13. They really make having your period especially heavy periods less stressful. I can go about my life without having LARGE DIAPER LIKE PADS within reach. I can actually spend more time doing stuff instead of being in the bathroom changing. I do wear a small liner with my cup JUST in case it leaks. It can happen if not properly covering cervix or it's full. Super Jennie has given me relief knowing I can take vacations and know I can still enjoy swiming, sun bathing, hiking, shopping, etc.......THANK YOU SUPER JENNIE!!! Update.....unfortunately I had to quit using menstral cups. Don't let my experience sway you though. The cup caused trauma to my urethra. It's very swollen and required 2 doctor visits to figure it out. I now have to take steriods and a pain/frequent urge to pee pills. I am SO bummed as my doctor said it's not uncommon to injure the urethra with a menstral cup. I should have noticed the first time I used it but ignored the symptoms. By my second time using it the damage was done. The swelling will go down but I can no longer use a cup. 😣

As a recent convert to the fabulous world of menstrual cups, I asked around to see if other users I know had a favorite, and the Super Jennie came up. I did some research on it and watched/read quite a few reviews before finally ordering one for myself. I've tried only 3 other cups, but I have to say... I don't think I need to look any further. There are several reasons that really sold me on this cup. This cup is amazing. It's so comfortable, I actually forgot I was using it for a while. I'll admit when I first saw it I was a bit intimidated by the size, but it was just as easy to use as my others. I usually prefer a medium firmness cup and I was honestly a bit skeptical of the Super Jennie when I first opened up the box and felt how soft it seemed to be... however, upon using the cup, I had no problems getting it to open with both the punch down and the c fold. It worked on the first try, and just as easily for the duration of my period. I ordered a large/blue, the silicone is nice and clear, very easy to clean (even the air holes), stem and grip rings are nice, I found them very useful since this cup had good suction. As a woman with a very heavy period, my main focus was capacity, and this is one of the highest rated cups around for capacity. When I was still using disposables, I'd have to change the heaviest absorbency tampon (ultra with an overnight pad for backup... but this has always been normal for me, it runs in my family) every 2 hours on my heaviest day. I wore the Super Jennie over my last period and I was able to go 4... yes FOUR hours without emptying it. During my heaviest day, I was in the throes of a pretty severe cold, so I was coughing a lot. That tends to cause leakage with disposables or reusables. I wore a pad as backup, but I can proudly say I didn't have a single shift or leak. I'd like to add that I was out and about running errands for most of the day as well and didn't leak a single drop. This was also the first successful overnight cup for me, I was able to sleep without leaking, even though I tend to toss and turn a lot. Overall I'd definitely recommend giving this cup a try for ANY of the above reasons. They're just the tip of the iceberg with the benefits of menstrual cups over disposables, but I'll leave that to you to research. I'll admit I wasn't overly concerned with the environment or the chemicals (they're like an added bonus to reusables in my case), I was more concerned with managing my period in a way that made me feel more comfortable. Having tried out at least 3 others of different shapes/sizes, the Super Jennie is my favorite by a landslide, it's definitely worth the money and I plan on buying another. UPDATE: A year and a half later I still love this cup! I did order a second one when they came out with the pink (July, 2017), and some people have reported a downgrade in the quality of the cup, but I didn't notice that to be the case at all. I still use both the blue and pink cups, and I always have one with me. Since then I have used several other brands, and this one is still my favorite, hands down.

I am writing a review after using this Super Jennie period cup for over 3 years. I got a large cup because I have heavy periods. I have had to empty my cup and it was almost to the rim/full twice in a day on my heaviest flow. This cup has saved me from so much embarrassment. I know every girl has experienced this moment where you have been sitting for an 1 or longer and get up to find your period went in a different direction in your undies and found a way to escape onto another surface that is now visible to everyone else. Yeah I have been there and if I had this in high school oh man I would not think about my red spot appearing. I bought the large a year before I was 30 and I have never had children. I am a petite/average Asian girl. It definitely took a lot of time to get use to. Trying to figure out the best way to insert and get the right seal. It did hurt a little bit inserting or removing sometimes. At this point you have to figure out what works best for your body. When I wore a small cup I would have to empty it out while at work which sucked! I typically insert before work depending on my flow that day, insert earlier if light or as close to getting to work later. Getting the correct fit made it worth it to keep using this cup. I do alternate between my large and a different brand small cup. You have light and heavy days. I use a re-usable liner(washable) every time I have a cup in because of my heavy flow and sometimes my flow is unexpected. Gosh re-usable liners are a whole nether story; But once you get the hang of it, feels great on the skin(feels the way your clothes feel.) I DO NOT miss pads or tampons!! Actually it’s nice not having to spend money buying them. If you are thinking about trying a period cup I strongly suggest trying it and get reusable/washable liners with laundry bags to keep your washer from eating the pads. Period cups are messy but going to the bathroom is messy. In the end it is so much less messy. To keep your cups clean wash with soap then boil in water for 10 minutes to disinfect. Did I forget to mention you can wear them for 12 hours?!! Yes, I have worn my cup for 12 hours emptied/removed wash with soap rinse and re-insert so sleeping on your period is WONDERFUL. This is a really great product! Plus being more environmentally friendly is always a great feeling. I am sensitive. I had to trim the pull end. I just pinch the end of the cup while you bear down, to break the seal and pull cup out gently. I can also feel the stars that are etched on the cup certain times of my cycle which feels like a pinch. Not fun. But not un bearable. Overall it has been worth it to get a period cup. The whole forget about it is what makes it easier to deal with. Period.
