The NaturCup

If you own this cup, feel free to jump right in and do a post about it! To get this thread started, here is a link to my WordPress information page about menstrual cups, containing page (with photos) for Naturcup. Comments are welcome, and so are new posts:

Where can i get one of these? i didnt think they started shipping to the us?

As far as I know, they still have not launched their product yet. I have been keeping in contact with distributers who made offers to the company to carry their product, and so far, nobody has heard very much from the company. I myself have emailed them to ask their permission to use their photos for my blog. They said yes, and that was the last I heard from them. Every time I check their website, there are still no stockist listed, and still no "order" or "purchase" options.

Not sure when they will be launching. They were supposed to do it back in April....

They are very quiet, suspiciously quiet. Is the naturcup similar to another brand maybe? That could have halted production.

To me, the body looks a little like Diva. And the stem of course is like Meluna. Its possible there may be some design issues. I think we are starting to run out of original designs (which would actually be comfortable and work). Which is why I think, at this point, its probably better to just join one of the company's teams as a distributer, than it is to risk investing all your money into a new cup design, only to have legal charges brought on you for design similarities.

Will they ever launch? Thier website is now saying September 2010.

I hope they do soon, its taken so long! lol. Other companies have just boomed out of nowhere without warning, and been successful. I guess I just don't understand all the delay, unless its about design similarities, or a money problem, or making sure all grounds are covered and they won't be bothered about anything design wise beore they invest. Hmmmm....

I wrote them about 2 weeks ago asking about the measurements of the cup and the launching date, but they didn't answer me. The website anounce the cup release for september, but I don't really think the will launch it 3 days....

Thank you for this. I'll keept in touch with everyone onf acebook about this, but its been over a year, and they still haven't said much

their shop has finally launched, so maybe they can send you a sample now?

Really?? Wow, let me ask them!

I've spent like 30 min writing a review and suddenly it dissapear!!!
Well I'll make it shorter this time...
Two day ago I ordered a Naturcup and ir arrived today (very fast!! ) It's their larger size (size II), they also have size 0 and size I
The material is different to my other cups (lady, fleur and lunette)
The bottom is very soft (almost exactly to the lady's), but the rim is much firmer
It's slightly shorter than a lady with the whole stem (this stem is very short with a ball at the end)
Capacity: More than a large lady (or small lunette) but less than the fleurcup. I think it's probably close to a small diva (according to melissa's video)
It has 4 holes, grip rings, measure lines, it's manufactured in Spain
The difference between the three sizes available is the width, they all have the same lenght
I'll tell you more when I try it

omg thanks! so interesting to hear about it:)
so their large size is shorter than the large ladycup? sounds like a great option for me could you measure it please? also the inside diameter, if possible
are you on lj? i think many will be interested in your review
(if you use firefox, you can install Lazarus add-on to avoid losing what you type )

Glad you like it!!
I've been thinking for a while to post on lj but I'm not registered yet, maybe I'll do it tomorrow... (0:35 in Spain (six hours to wake up... )
The whole length of the cup is 65 mm (though the info they sent me says 56 mm, I think they switch the numbers...)
The outside diameter is 46-47 mm (The flyer says the smaller sizes are 40 and 44), the inside diametre is about 38 mm.
I don't know if it will be comfortable flipped inside-out because the stem seems difficult to trim.
Thanks for the tip!! right now I was using ie, but I also use firefox a lot, I'm definetely trying that!!

oh great, they gave you the official sizes of all of them?
almost 3am here, i might have misunderstood so it's a bit longer than the stemless ladycup? nice to see them realize than virgins don't necessarily need shorter cups, only narrower only pity it's more similar to diva than it seemed... wish some company also realized that those who need the larger size don't necessarily need something long
maybe 56mm is the length excluding the stem?
thanks for answering!

They haven't given me the sizes yet. But if they send me one, I will be sure to add it to the measurement charts on WordPress

I actually do have some extra money at the moment, so if they don't send me a reply about samples, then I may just go ahead and buy one of each size. They're really not that expensive at all. Most cups are like $35 to $40 but these are only $24-ish (Euros are pretty close to dollars). So really not that bad. I have been waiting over a year for this brand to finally come out and everyone is so curious about it! I really want to be able to offer info about it. So many people have been wondering about this one, and wanting to see it.
