Sex during period?? Instead Soft Cup?

My BF and I live 5.5 hours apart and are getting together this weekend, but of course, I have my stupid period. Sigh. Just started yesterday and I see him tomorrow.


I don't like messy period sex very much and it's a fairly new relationship. I have heard about the Instead Soft Cup and that it can be used for sex during your period.


I was wondering if anyone has used this? And if so did it work well? Could you feel it and did it leak? thank you!

Welcome to the board anika77.

I have used the Instead Soft Cup, and no it didn't leak -- if used properly. It does take some time and practice to get it inserted properly, but once you do, it's great.

Delurking here.The Instead Cup is the only thing I use now during that time,and my husband and I certainly use it to make sex less messy.It's wonderful,but hubby has said that once in a while(usually when he's a bit more frisky and into it)it starts to irritate him.Over all though,it's worth it to both of us.

I only use Instead now, and never use tampons if at all possible! My only advice is don't get frustrated and give up, it is well worth it to learn how to use it. Also, use lube when you are wearing the cup; it seems to hold my natural lubricants in the cup so I can get a bit dry.
