Elanee Menstruationstasse Review | The Heart Stem Cup

I just had to try this cup out and see what it was all about. In order to try the cup I had to have a friend in Germany purchase it and ship it to me, and lots of chocolates somehow fell into the box. Very legal ones. I made an assumption that this odd design was meant to help break the suction at the rim from the outside (instead of from the inside like a Flex Cup) so that was part of my testing. I tested it a bit too hard...

Even if the stem had worked (or if this wasn't the intent of the design) or if I was completely doing it wrong... the cup itself wasn't comfortable for wear. Or removal. Or anything. STAB STAB STAB STAB STAB.

I tried... it gets added to my "novelty cup" collection.
