Bundle decent value, love the cup (which I bought years ago)
Recently purchased the cupwipes and cleanser bundle with an extra box of wipes. I believe shipping is free over $25AUD, so because the bundle was discounted to $22.20, ended up buying the extra pack of wipes to make the free shipping, which is slightly diabolical! Would love if you sold like some individual or 2-packs of pouches in matching or funky designs to complement the cups. It would be nice to see the pouches that come with the cups in the product images for each listing.
I wasn't sure how strong the alcohol wipes would be - turned out to be quite strong, both in scent and its effect on my hand skin so if you have dry hands you might wanna be careful! Is there some sort of percentage alcohol that could be mentioned in the ingredients? Bit rusty on the chemistry of alcohol so dunno if that's even necessary.
When I first bought the cleanser at least 3-4 years ago, it was in a hard plastic bottle that almost looked like one of those airless pump skincare ones (minus the pump). The cleanser back then smelt more strongly of eucalyptus and lemon and was more gentle on my skin. It did used to be advertised as being suitable for washing your hands because it was so gentle, but I think the formula has changed, hence it's now described as 'super concentrated' on the website. I think I preferred the scent and hand-feel of the old formula because it felt more hand-washing friendly, but I also appreciate that concentrating the formula means you need to use less to clean your cup, of which I think it does a perfectly fine job. It's also less messy than the old packaging which would often drip down and it was harder to squeeze and clean the old bottle.
I also bought my purple cup 3-4 years ago in-store, although I gave up on using it after a few months. This year in 2019 I decided to revisit it and it's still good as new.
Are the new cups (pink, yellow, orange) less translucent than the clear, blue and purple (original shades) or am I dreaming things? My purple one is more translucent which I prefer to the more opaque-looking new shades. Is there a slight difference in the actual design of these cups or their durability I wonder? Clearly I haven't been a return customer in a while so that's why I ask!
Anyways, love the cup although my cervix gets a bit low which pushes the stem outside my 'entrance' :( Just need to cut the stem some more. It takes a bit of time to learn how to use but it's worth it when it works. I'd say if it leaks you should keep trying to get a good seal, and maybe try it on in the shower so you can wash it in between failed attempts. Only drawback is because it sits so low in the cervix, I get paranoid when pooping because it might become contaminated so I find myself having to pull it out and wash it again just to be safe. Or else, time your poops to when you need to change/clean your cup anyways! Sorry, super long review but it's been a few years in the making!
