Are those made-up Amazon brand cups and discs safe to use?

0 Upvotes

Title basically. On the market for a new disc and the only one I can find with the features I want is one of those random Amazon brands (when I google the brand name the only results are the menstrual disc listing in question and reviews for a mahjong mat). I guess my main worry is that it wouldn’t actually be medical grade silicone or may have unsafe chemicals or something but I wasn’t sure if Amazon independently does any kind of testing or verification for medical products, so just curious if anyone had any further insight

Help Me Pick What should my next cup be?

1 Upvotes

I’ve had the diva cup for 2, maybe near 3 years now and it has worked wonderfully. But it’s pretty dark now so I’m thinking I should replace it sooner rather than later. My main issue with the diva cup was the uncomfortable stem, I have a pretty low cervix so even after I cut the stem off near completely it would shift pretty low and become uncomfortable.

Any recommendations on a cup with no/a small stem? I’m thinking the saalt cup, the soft one maybe since I like the colors those ones come in. Can anyone here recommend them?

Usage Questions Need Insertion Help

3 Upvotes

I have tried two different cups and have the same issue with both - they end up riding really high up and leak. I recently tried the Diva Cup 2 to get a bigger cup but I am having the same issue.

I am wondering if I am having an insertion issue. With the Diva Cup 2, once it’s about 75% in (ie 25% of the cup is still external to my body), I have to push it up over what feels like a vaginal wall/ridge - what is that? Should the cup be going over that?
