For The Love Of The Run Instead Softcup Challenge

 Ok I warned you guys now for the Review. I came across a blog called For The Love Of The Run through Tara Burners Blog. I decided to take on their Instead Softcup Challenge. If you haven't heard of the Instead Softcup, this is what it is...

What is the Instead Softcup?

Softcup is a flexible cup that is worn internally, around your cervix. It collects, rather than absorbs menstrual flow. It's hypo-allergenic, latex-free and completely safe when used as directed.

Reusable Softcup is a durable, flexible, reusable cup that can be worn for up to 12 hours and reused throughout one menstrual cycle. Reusable Softcup has all the benefits of disposable Softcup—with the added advantage of just one cup per period. Learn more about reusable Softcup

What I found great about the Instead Softcup is the fact that you can wear them for up to 12 hours. I was skeptical after opening the first one to try...

My thought was how in the world would I NOT feel this thing. After using the first one I was pleasantly surprised. It actually felt better than an actual tampon.

I am an avid runner and its impossible to not train during "that" week. So it is nice to have found a product that I can actually use while training and not have to think about any accidents happening.

Look at all the benefits of using the Instead Softcup.

You can wear Softcup for up to 12 hours

Softcup is comfortable during swimming and sports

Softcup eliminates menstrual odor, since the menstrual flow isn't exposed to air

Softcup loves making love . . .you can wear Softcup during intercourse for less messy sex on your period

Softcup is comfortable—you can't even feel it once it's inserted

Most women typically use fewer Softcups than tampons or pads because of the long wear-time

You can use one reusable softcup throughout entire cycle...saving you money and the environment

Softcups have no wings, no strings . . . just freedom!

You cant argue with the benefits of this product. The only thing I have to say negative about it. Is that putting it in and taking it out takes some getting used to. But that is very minor. I will definitely be using these in my big races.

Challenge...

Speaking of races, everyone like a challenge...
