Cups after baby?
I used a MeLuna soft in small and medium before getting pregnant. By February of next year it’ll be time to replace my cups, and while I haven’t gotten a postpartum period yet (I actually haven’t gotten my period since February of 2018, which is pretty wild lol) I’m looking to get a new cup. I just don’t know what kind of cup I should be looking to get now that my body has changed quite a bit. Any advice from anyone who’s been in the same boat? I’m thinking of getting something in silicone this time, since I’d like for the cup to spring open better (my MeLunas required a lot of fiddling down there, and I just don’t have the time or patience for that anymore lol). Probably still on the softer side, just to keep things comfy. There have been a ton of new brands on the market that have come out in the last five years, and I’m not at all updated. Would love to get some recs!

I used a medium MeLuna pre-baby, my flow is now significantly heavier so I upgraded to larger capacity cups. I tried a bunch, the best ones for me have been the rainbow Yuuki large and the Luv Ur Body medium. Other ones I tried were the Super Jennie, Fun Cup, and Hello Cup, as well as several discs (all sizes of Lumma and Ziggy). Discs don't work at all for me, they give me rectal pressure (I get constipated on my period). Super Jennie didn't work for me either, I think the rim was too large. The Fun Cup was comfortable, but not enough capacity (and it was too hard to remove on my high cervix days). I still have my Hello Cup, I use that when my flow is lighter and I'm going to be more active, cause that thing does not move once placed. I also got a Merula OS on my last cycle, I tried it for a day and it worked okay but it was definitely harder to remove than my other cups. Hope that helps!
