What is the difference between size/style "A" and size/style "B"?
Style A is for after you have had a vaginal childbirth, Style B is for before.
Style B is slightly smaller in diameter and is made with slightly firmer gum
rubber than style A, although the difference in size is not visibly discernable.
Can you feel The Keeper?
You may notice it slightly immediately after insertion and/or for the first few
times you use The Keeper. But once you get used to wearing it, you will
probably find that you don't feel it at all. Sometimes all that is needed is a
slight tilting of The Keeper into a more comfortable position - and then you
will not feel it. It should be tilted (aimed) slightly towards the small of the back
for the best comfort. This is achieved by pulling The Keeper slightly
forward, gently, after insertion
How short should I trim the stem?
The stem is essential for the purpose of insertion and removal. You may trim
the stem. However, do not trim off more than one half of the stem, because, in
the event that you wish to replace or return The Keeper within the 3 month
money back guarantee, you would not receive a refund or replacement. If you
decide you are satisfied with the product and want to keep the product, then
you may trim the stem to the length you desire but do not trim the stem all the
way to the bottom of the cup. If you do trim the stem too short, it could be
difficult to grasp the stem if the the cup has moved upwards a bit. (This can
sometimes happen while wearing the cup overnight
Isn't it messy?
The Keeper can take some getting used to. Remember to remove it slowly so
that it will not spill. Some women find that they do not have to empty it very
often during the day. So this is not a problem for them. Lots of women just
do it in the shower. Its no problem once you get used to it
Will it leak?
If inserted properly, The Keeper “should” not leak. Most women love the
Keeper because it never leaks. However, some women find that it does-
especially on those first 2 days. If you have a heavy flow or you wear it
overnight, you might want some added protection. Or, you may find that you
need to empty it slightly more often than you have been. Some women find
that (on their heaviest days) it can leak somewhat, if it becomes full and is not
emptied soon enough.
How much does it cost?
The Keeper is $35 shipping and handling included. However, you can try it
with little risk. The Keeper has a 3 month money-back guarantee. When you
add up the cost of pads and tampons year after year, The Keeper is much
more economical and can pay for itself very quickly. It has a "life expectancy"
of at least 10 years.
Is the 3-month guarantee in writing?
Yes. It is on the instruction booklet that comes with your Keeper
Is The Keeper effective for active women?
Yes, The Keeper is excellent for women who are active in sports, hiking,
scuba diving, swimming, horseback riding, etc...
