Working in the reproductive health industry, I have plenty of products thrown my way for me to try out. From <\/span>sex toys<\/span><\/a> to <\/span>lubes<\/span><\/a> to period products\u00a0\u2013 I\u2019ve tried a good chunk of what\u2019s out there. Despite having access to the latest and greatest sex toys and reproductive health products, I\u2019m actually quite the minimalist. I don\u2019t like many sex toys, and I like my period products to be as simple as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Still, I\u2019m game to try almost any product that\u2019s thrown my way. Especially if it promises to make my periods easier. That\u2019s where the <\/span>Ziggy Cup 2<\/span><\/a> comes in \u2013 Intimina\u2019s brand new period cup. I took it for a spin, and I\u2019m here to give you my honest review.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is The Ziggy Cup 2?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Ziggy Cup 2 is the new and improved version of its predecessor. This cup is made of body-safe, reinforced, flexible, 100% medical-grade silicone. The ribbed tab is designed for easy, slip-free removal. This menstrual disc comes in two sizes and is not only made to protect you during your period but can also be used during sex! <\/span>Size A is intended for people with a lower cervix, while size B is for people with a higher cervix. Either can be worn for light or heavy flows and can be worn during sex. <\/span>It\u2019s important to point out that the Ziggy Cup 2 does not protect you from <\/span>STIs<\/span><\/a> or unwanted pregnancy, so be sure to use appropriate protection.<\/span><\/p>\n

My Body and History of Period Products<\/b><\/h2>\n

Remember how I said I\u2019m a minimalist? Well, I am historically not a fan of tampons, period cups, or anything that I have to leave inside my body for too long. The period cups I\u2019ve used in the past feel like they\u2019re always poking me and tend to make my cramps worse and make me have to pee all the time. I would use them sometimes, but only if I was doing something active, or wearing an outfit that required tiny panties. My go-to for period products are usually period panties, and then a non-toxic panty liner on my lighter days. <\/span>When it comes to my period, I have a fairly light flow so I\u2019m not usually concerned about leakage. I do however get really intense cramps from time to time, so feeling extra pressure in my uterus is a no-no when I\u2019m in pain.<\/span><\/p>\n

All that being said, I was still very game to try out the Ziggy Cup 2.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

New Frontiers: The Ziggy Cup 2<\/b><\/h2>\n

Like I said, I\u2019m a bit wary when it comes to period cups. I was sent both sizes A and B. I tried size A on the second day of my period and was very doubtful. It was comfortable enough, but it leaked and didn\u2019t seem to be getting the job done. I was feeling disappointed and discouraged, but I figured I\u2019d give the other size a try.<\/span><\/p>\n

Turns out I was just using the wrong size because I was totally proven wrong! When I used size B, it fit perfectly with no leaks. All the discomfort I felt from prior period cups wasn\u2019t there. I could barely feel a thing! Plus it was way easier to put in and take out than other brands I had tried (I took it out in the shower). I went surfing with it in on day four of my period and expected it to be full of seawater. Not only did it get the job done and not get flooded with the ocean, but I forgot it was even in while I was shredding away on the waves! <\/span>Protecting from leakage isn\u2019t the Ziggy Cup 2\u2019s only job, it\u2019s also designed to be worn during sex. Let\u2019s see if it passed that test.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sex with The Ziggy Cup 2<\/b><\/h2>\n

My philosophy when it comes to <\/span>period sex<\/span><\/a> is \u201cIf you can\u2019t stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen.\u201d If someone isn\u2019t willing to get a little messy, then it\u2019s not someone I want to be having sex with. Still, it\u2019s great to have the option, so I figured \u201cWhy not? It\u2019s for science!\u201d <\/span>I used the cup for sex towards the end of my period, so leakage wasn\u2019t an issue. I don\u2019t think it would have been if I used it towards the beginning anyway, but I don\u2019t like having sex then because of cramps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All in all, the cup worked great during sex and I didn\u2019t feel like it was ramming against my cervix or anything. My only qualm with it is that I\u2019m someone who loves the sensation of <\/span>cervical stimulation and orgasms<\/span><\/a>, and the cup desensitized that aspect of sex for me since it covers up the cervix.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I probably won\u2019t be using the cup for sex in the future unless I happen to be staying at a hotel or something where I don\u2019t want to make a mess. This is just my personal preference, but I think anyone who wants to keep things a bit tidier will be over the moon about this product. It truly does make a huge difference!<\/span><\/p>\n

His Review<\/b><\/h2>\n

It wouldn\u2019t be a complete review unless I asked the other party involved. His response was more or less:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s my place to have much of an opinion on the matter. I\u2019m just happy to be having sex, and I usually don\u2019t mind the mess of period sex. It didn\u2019t feel much different for me, besides the bit of silicone if I went too deep.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span><\/i>We\u2019ll just say he\u2019s giving it the green light.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Try it For Yourself<\/b><\/h2>\n

Although I don\u2019t plan on using it for sex, I will certainly be using the Ziggy Cup 2 for everyday wear during my period. I\u2019m stoked about this product! <\/span>Ready to try the Ziggy Cup 2 out for yourself? Learn how to find the right size for you on the <\/span>product page<\/span><\/a>, and follow the instructions on how to insert it. It\u2019s super easy once you get the hang of it!
